I agree about using Top Tier all the time which reduces buildup per the AAA study, and my impression is that a one time application over a six-month period of concentrate doesn't do that (or anything really).

I saw a pretty good testing setup on Youtube where they ran a bunch of Techron through with almost zero reduction in carbon buildup when viewed through a boroscope. I now use Top Tier only although to be honest I am wondering if they're going to make Top Tier+ like they do "premium" grades...

I'm at 9,000 miles and noticed the same thing the last 1,000 or so. It's getting progressively worse, I thought it was torque steer but had none that I remember when I first bought, and when I left off the gas it still pulls right. Did you get it aligned under warranty? I'm wondering if that is...

A wireless, battery powered wide view camera setup may be a good option as well.

Read your contract but the only acceptable oil is synthetic for the hybrid. I'm bored and have time hands, if dealer refused to honor it I would sue in small claims. They need to be taught a lesson. A dealer who doesn't know something basic like what type of oil to use on their own new car...

Well if they have cabin filters already, the only downside to not replacing them is reduced airflow from the blower ports. Filters get better at filtering the more they get plugged up with stuff. The cost to replace is so inexpensive I don't mind doing it every couple years to maintain full...

I upgraded to the FPP-89 https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/oem-cabin-air-filter-thread-with-links-and-pics-premium-oem-vs-regular-oem.57531/

You've been posting this same thing for years in here. My eight year old vehicle back in the early 2000's had no cabin filter and the evaporator got clogged up with dust/pollen that led it to develop pinhole leaks. The entire dash had to come off down to the firewall to replace. Cabin filters...

The reason it wasn't done is because math. That plug-in hybrid used to have a $7500 tax credit applied to it, and without it, the cost above the standard hybrid Escape makes it unsellable. This is a great deal for the OP; but they are only getting that because the dealer and/or Ford lost their...

What recall was done? The backup camera I don't think effects the programming at all IIRC. I had some done last year that did, but I just re-did all my inputs. Make sure you do them all start to finish in all modules.

Mine has that rattle (more of a clunking) as well as many others unfortunately.

Yes, I have to remember after washing or a large rain event to pull the seals away to allow them to dry. Mostly and issue with rear doors.

Don't want a Tacoma or Tundra. Want a hybrid asi like the drive train but also want mpg. We'll see what Toyota has to offer in the future. My previous car I had for two decades pulled right all the time despite being aligned. When the Mav started doing it, it drove me over the edge. I lived...

I plan to look at what Toyota has to offer in the future. I'm over the dash rattle and other small things that are starting to fail (like axles). I get it, it was a cheap vehicle, but didn't expect it to fail so quickly. I planned on keeping long term but frankly my trust is shot with Ford lol...

Just an FYI, that fire chart used grossly inaccurate data and has been debunked numerous times as blatantly false. With current average gas costs ($3), the difference between a hybrid Maverick and a similarly shaped EV with average kwh costs ($0.17 delivered, after tax/fees) is around $0.01 per...

I would absolutely nail down what your mission is before you decide. You're all over the place - from an F250 that can tow up to 22k to an F150 that can tow 13k to a Ranger that can tow 7.5k to a Maverick that can tow 4k. I would not purchase the ecoboost Maverick to tow with - the...

The 51 psi is max cold amount (as it sits before being driven). Also know there is a margin of safety there. Highest I've seen was 45 psi on the highway though and it started to make me nervous and get a little rough. Typically when you put air in tires, the air going in is quite warm/hot so...

I have a '23 with 9000 miles on it, on my last oil change and inspection I noticed grease coming out the pax side inner boot.

The FPP-89 is an upgrade and filters down to a smaller micron range for not a ton more. https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/motorcraft,fpp89,cabin+air+filter,6832 It does restrict airflow by just a bit more but not super noticeable. I noticed I no longer smell diesel exhaust at all with it and...

They come around 45-50 psi from the factory because they are strapped down to a train for several weeks and it helps prevent flat spotting. The 35 psi Ford recommends will be the best combo of ride comfort, mpg, stopping distance, and wear pattern. The stamped max tire sidewall pressure is for...
