  1. Haven't even made it to 2 months ownership and this windshield chip / crack happens

    Most of mine happen on freeways going the same direction. Only one time did I have a vehicle throw a stone coming past me on a two-lane. So, generally, I try to stay back from other vehicles .. .especially if they can't keep it between the lines.
  2. Towing 4,000lbs?

    I've towed my Catalina 22 sailboat ~3500 lbs with my 2.0L and 4K package. It includes a beefed up cooling system for engine and tranny. It also has a higher final drive ratio. It towed very nicely but most of my 35 mile drive is pretty flat and 55MPH. Gas mileage? fuggeda boud it.
  3. Haven't even made it to 2 months ownership and this windshield chip / crack happens

    I had the same sort of thing happen to my 2017 in the first month of ownership. I'e had to replace windshields on at least 5 vehicles since my 1998 Escort. I blame the tread patterns on tires for catching and holding rocks until they are rolling at highway speed and centrifugal force takes over.
  4. Tailgate not level with bed.

    Probably MFG error. Both are too long actually. It's a 2022. With the tailgate hanging down all the way, the Drivers side is too LONG in comparison to the passenger side by this amount: and THEN f I bring up the tailgate to level with the bed, the passenger side is too long by the amount in...
  5. Tailgate not level with bed.

    Just checked my 2022 XLT and the tailgate hangs about 1" too low with the driver's side cable being about 1/2" too long at 21 3/4" compared to the pass side cable.
  6. ATLAS BLUE Maverick Photos Thread

    Great pic. Lovin the suunset tint. I feel for you New Yorkers that still have to have the front license plates. We Ohioans finally got them removed and My Mav is the first of our vehicles in my whole life without.
  7. RIP Alto Blue Maverick. Excellent crash test / safety proven though...

    Oh my!!. Sorry for your loss and I hope that you'll be ok. This grabs me because my Mav is Alto Blue.
  8. Problem with Mabett Fender Turn signals

    I don't have them but I've seen a comment or two about it. I don't know if you can remove them without damage but the one referenced making them waterproof with some silicone or something. I wonder if it would work again if it were dried out.
  9. Ford Shares Your Data with CarFax?

    About 9 months ago, I bought a set of tires on my 2017 Escape. When I decided to trade it in, I changed those wheels and tires with the ones on my wife's Escape. Same wheels/tires but hers had about 40K more miles on them and she was due for new tires. Aside from having a tough time getting...
  10. People who had a Ranger before the Maverick

    Please tell that to our two who either hang on the console or sneak to the driver's seat when I get out for ... just....one....second.

    yes. Understood. Mine were slightly less.: Artist/Album/Song.mp3 So, I reduced to : Album/Song.mp3 another interesting issue that I'm having since I paired my phone with the Android Auto is that at random times when the car is sleeping, I hear Siri say, "Sorry I don't understand." This...
  12. My great boat towing experience with AWD Maverick EcoBoost 4K tow package

    I have a shallow ramp also. What I bought that I only use for retrieving the boat is a hitch extender. After I pull out the boat in the fall, I disconnect and remove the extender. Because of the added leverage, I'd never drive with it. It works fine for my use. Curt 18" The Mav. w/4K...
  13. Issue using USB thumb drive

    Thanks for this idea. That folder issue may also have to do with how long it takes my vehicle to scan the drive when the system is booting up. Edit/ my albums are in their own folders right on the drive. Only on my comp. are they buried in sub folders. Edit 2/ Aha... many of the albums are in...

    " anti-theft ... dealer fee " < Now there's an oxymoron if I've ever seen one. :like::blush::crackup:
  16. Issue using USB thumb drive

    I have about 25 albums on a flash drive and I was driving in a residential area scrolling for a different album and after going through 1/2 of the alphabetical list, it stopped me with the "You can't use this feature while driving." I know that I shouldn't have been doing that but why did it...

    Anybody try plugging a splitter into the USB with any success?? When I did it the truck spanked me harshly.
  18. Bed wash-out - BEWARE!

    I bought this off Amazon > LZLRUN 3D Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap - Outdoor Rated for Automotive Use - 12 inches x 60 inches <. I put this stuff on the door sills of the two Escapes and it totally lasted 5 years with dog claws trying to scratch it. So, now the Mav. . I have enough to cover the...
