  1. My first disapointment with my Maverick: fabric pulling away from the support post

    What year? I would assume so cause that's not normal wear.
  2. Ruh Roh! No dome lights this morning...

    The car is always connected to the internet. That uses power. The keyfob sensor is always running. That uses power. This is not the frightening thing you think it is. Especially if you park in an area with bad cell service.
  3. Hybrid Battery

    The hybrid battery is very small. It uses power even when driving with the engine on.
  4. Best Hybrid MPG Air Conditioning Settings

    With the hybrid the electric runs the pump. Set it to where it's comfortable. It works as a thermostat. So ambient temp matters. Fan speed just controls how quickly that air fills the cabin. If air in the back is warmer and it is moving around it will keep feeding into the intake to force the...
  5. Maverick vs Ranger

    I needed a new pickup badly and needed a new car but only was getting one. I was originally looking at a used F150 but the mpg is such a killer to me that I found out about the Maverick and the hybrid and was sold on it. Wasn't expecting to get a brand new vehicle with a brand new loan payment...
  6. downhill whine

    It's the engine braking. You've maxed your battery and that's the only way to slow down without frying the battery.
  7. What do you like MOST about your Maverick?

    Where to begin? Fuel economy.. I've averaged over 40mpg for 46000 miles. It replaced two vehicles for me. An 87 F-150 and a Buick Regal. It's pretty roomy despite coming from a bench seat F150 and the plush luxury seats of the Buick. It has good ground clearance. I can take it over small...
  8. New Tires; Worse Gas Mileage. Anyone Else Get This?

    Softer tires grip the road better and reduce free rolling. Which lowers mpg. Cheap tires are softer rubber and wear faster.
  9. Ford app is deleted

    I don't have to be in range of my truck to start it with the app. That's the big benefit to it.
  10. Ford app is deleted

    It's how you can remote start your car. At least for the Lariat. Not sure about the other ones.
  11. I Hate the Stupid Dial Shifter: Now With Poll

    I was not pro or against it when I first got it. But, I have learned to use it. And like that it's not intrusive. But it took at least a month to get used to it and which way to spin it. Now, it's second nature. So, I guess give it time.
  12. Ford app is deleted

    TURN OFF AUTOMATIC UPDATES ON YOUR PHONE I swear, every app wants to update every couple of days if you'll let it. Update as needed if the functionality of it is broken due to future changes. Otherwise, just keep the app you have.
  13. How is $29,500 OTD for new 24 xl hybrid???

    The "$20k truck" was before inflation and high demand after a couple years of low production due to covid and a run on any used vehicle with a working engine. To give Ford credit they did keep the original price that first year. Had inflation not hit like a b----, I'm sure the market for the...
  14. How is $29,500 OTD for new 24 xl hybrid???

    Your MVSP price is including the delivery that regular ordered paid on top of MSRP. Whatever dealership add-on fee is just theirs. I would question what the Taxable fees are. Doc/title/temp tag fees? Seems high. I'm guessing Non-Tax is the Doc fee, but need to spelled out what is what. I paid...
  15. How accurate is miles left in the tank?

    The actual tank is much bigger that the stated size. The dte is calculated on the 13.8 gallon size. You are not a few hundred feet from running out when you hit zero. I've gone 20mi over and no issues. Most I've ever filled up was about 14.5g. I usually go until I am less than 10mte
  16. Mileage

    Lot of country driving in southern Kentucky yesterday. The hills and curves make a hybrid perform best.
  17. Who is the target market for Ford Maverick

    This was me as a Millenial. I had an 87 F-150 and a car to drive daily. I rarely drove the old truck but had it just in case. Needed a new car and had heard about the Maverick. Decided to put in an order and hoped my old car would last long enough. Sold the F-150, and then my car died. So had to...
  18. Maverick Insurance Raised 30%

    I've had two totaled vehicles on my policy by a family member in a three month span. Though they're off my insurance now and I am down to one vehicle (the Maverick), my insurance is still only $240/3mo. That's after paying out over $40k on vehicles who were probably only worth $10k each just...
  19. First oil change when?

    The argument for the early first oil change is that there might be bits of metal from the manufacturing process getting through the engine. If that's the case start it up and have the dealership change it immediately. Even 500 miles would be too long if you really believed that.
  20. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    My maverick wound up behind a working Maverick. Makes for a decent little escort vehicle on oversize loads.
