I tired this today and it preformed exactly as I hoped. Thanks for the suggestion!
In previous cars I hated eco mode (too weak) but it seems pretty great in the maverick.
Thanks! I bought the sticker from etsy:

The Order(s):
I originally ordered a 23 XLT Hybrid back in September of 2022. The 23 order was never built, and I reordered a 24 XL hybrid in July of 2023. A mere 630 days after I placed my original order, I took delivery of a 24 XL hybrid with copilot 360 and trailer hitch in hot pepper red...

I also originally ordered September of 2022 and still don't have a build date. 542 days I believe. They email me every 45 days telling me how sorry they are for the delay. I sort of hope Tesla or BYD drives Ford out of business in my lifetime.
My dealer experience is greatly diminished by Ford's allocation system. It doesn't matter how pleasant and honest my dealer is if they never get my Maverick. Thank you from reading my day 511 rant.
I originally ordered on September 16, 2022, and my Maverick hybrid was not built, despite ordering within 2 hours of the order banks opening (I later learned this was irrelevant due to the allocation system.) Last summer, I reordered once the order banks opened again. My dealer claims to have...
