Man that is some crazy lift, most I think I've seen on a Maverick. Care to post pics of your truck underside skidplates & rock rails, all around the sides see what they protect. I just 30 minutes ago installed my RIVAL front end skidplate, RIVAL doesnt have skidplates for traction battery & gas...

What states make a front tag mandatory, Kentucky doesnt & im driving through Indiana it doesn't either, pretty sure Ohio doesnt require front tags. Isnt it just California & commie states require front tags to destroy thr airflow at front?

So after 2 months waiting I finally got in the @RIVAL 4x4 skidplate, quite light actually, aluminum but a good 1/4inch thick, no shoping mall curb-hopping teenage driver can take out my Mav now. Maybe we can setup a Maverick class rally stage, need a snorkel next, just because dont ask why...

Annoyingly, never does that in my Maverick I stopped the car in park forgot to turn the key off, car was sitting there off, next more I come to the garage and the car is back on idling, head a headache 15 seconds in the garage must've been switching engine on & off all night

Alot of guys seem to be conflating 1990s "badge engineering" from the days of "put new body panels & a Buick or Cadillac badge on a Chevy vehicle & sell it for more", with a modern common engineered (multivehicle) platform. A vehicle platform is aka a common "architecture" to share costs for...

Alot of what a "common platform" covers are things you cant see. Body panels and such will be different, but the "platform" will share common crumple zone engineering (front back sides, diagonal corners) with essentially "spacer" sections in the middle for larger or smaller vehicles. Typically...

255mm is nominally a 10 inch wide tire 254mm is 10 inches but close enough), with sidewalls 65% of the 10inch width = 6.5 inches x 2 = 13 inches, 13 + 17 inches = 30 inches diameter. Nice size.

I'm seeing some perplexing advice to questions on "what is the largest tire that will fit the 17 inch wheels without rubbing" that seem to indicate people giving advice with no idea what the #s on a tire mean. Maverick standard tire on 17inch wheel is: 225/65r17 Some people are assuming the...

That is almost exactly what I was getting the 1st 1500 miles 2025 awd hybrid 33 city 30 highway I was pretty disappointed I thought something was wrong with mine. After 1500 miles it opened up, I do far more highway than city driving & my combined is showing 41.7mpg now. City driving (flatter...

I just got on Amazon, put in my vehicle, and it has "parts that fit your vehicle" I searched mud flaps. I can look though my Amazon purchases they work great, I just looked for the longest mudflaps and made sure they use existing holes & come with spare fasterners

The 12vdc battery - polarity lug IS connected to the chassis. So seems you could connect your inverter to battery - lug (which is connected to DC DC converter from 460vdc traction battery) or the chassis & get same result. If you want an isolated ground for either the 12vdc battery or inverter...

Hybrid electric Maverick is a totally different animal. 12vdc battery under back seat is charged by the 460vdc traction battery stepdown transformer to 12VDC but its protected by a massive 200a fuse. 3000watt inverter is connected in parallel to 12vdc battery, using its own inline fuse 200a &...

Waiting till 78k to replace RDU fluid seems like a long wait? Maybe Ford says "lubricated for life" ie lubricated for the life of the warranty

I kinda hear it too. But I also work with industrial 3 phase servo induction motors and you definitely get different & quite noticeable "whines" & humming that changes pitch as you ramp the speed up & down depending on on the load on the motor. I believe these whines are related to the level of...

There is a HUGE difference in safe wiring & inverter capacity, for Ecoboost vs Hybrid Maverick. Your comments are somewhat valid for EB (non-hybrid) inverter wiring. The hybrid 12VDC battery is not charged by a starter-motor, it is charged by the 460VDC traction battery, which is charged by...

A "soft starter" is a generalized name for a "poor man's motor drive". Appliances with high starting current demands will trip breakers & damage inverters, so a soft starter is basically just a big set of precharge capacitors, and a basic controller that waits a couple milliseconds for the...

Anything with a surge or high starting load you should look at running the load through a soft starter, you honestly could just cut the inverter leads to the 120vac receptacles, & wire in a soft starter inline from the leads to the receptacles. Your inverter will last alot longer with heavier...

Any AC compressor has a higher startup current than running current. The way to use an AC with an inverter only rated for the AC running wattage (not 3x higher starting wattage) is to buy a "soft starter" that you plug the AC into, its basically a cheap version of a motor drive which uses...

One of the threads mentioned this 12vdc to 120vac 3000W pure sine wave inverter. Its $199 & right now theres a $69 off coupon - that got me off the fence, $140 for 3000Watts sine wave. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B12CMJQM?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp&th=1 This is really good for...

I'm for upgraded cooling, but if you don't need front & rear locking diffs it's 1 more thing to break! This is hard for many people to comprehend, but Ive found the main secret to longevity & reliability is simple designs with only the bare features you actually need. Every additional feature...
