  1. What's the one (or more) mods/upgrades you want for your truck that you haven't completed yet?

    I bought a 12 year old Gen1 SHO in Germany. :) That car still MOVED!! And if you're in 3rd gear coming off the Autobahn you'll be ok- too many drivers get used to the speed and exit too hot and munch the guard rails (they Almost Always use cloverleaf interchanges). Sadly I hadn't heard that the...
  2. What's the little mesh screen on the exhaust about 2 feet from the tail pipe?

    Resonator doesn't reduce the volume of the noise but eliminates weird soundwaves from forming. The screen somehow lets sound escape but not exhaust gases!
  3. fuel mileage seems low...

    The way to get great gas mileage is maximize how much the ICE (gas Internal Combustion Engine) shuts off. If you gas it pretty good then let off at 40-45mph you can "coast" at that speed with some battery help for a long long ways. But if you accelerate really really slowly up to 40mph it will...
  4. SLATE Truck Debut! Convertible From Pickup to SUV. Priced Under $20K With Federal Incentive

    1- I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE that they're comparing themselves to the Maverick. 2- It's NOT under $20k- you still pay whatever the real price is and IF you pay enough taxes to get a tax refund- you get up to $7500 back with your tax refund. 3- So really, this thing is the same prices a Maverick but...
  5. AWD badge

    Saving $2 on a lot of trucks is a lot of money Ford saves.
  6. To be or not to be?

    They don't want to waste time on a "maybe". The day you're talking with Ford about buying your truck is when they care about any tradein. Agree get quotes to know what you could get, to talk with Ford. CarMax won't give you the best price but they're reputable, and super easy to deal with.
  7. Key = Good & Push to start = Bad

    Any bag or box is only going to block your FOB's transmissions. Think about when the fob actually needs to talk with the truck, to know when you'd need to block it.
  8. Sync 4 question/casting or mirroring phone

    Youtube music subscription is less money and far far less dangerous.
  9. Kia Auto Dimming Mirror W/ Homelink question 2025 Lariat

    Just a sidenote- mirror may have 2 connections- one for compass/ auto dim when vehicle is on, one for homelink when vehicle is off. I put both power connectors on the 'vehicle on' wires so no one can open the home garage if vehicle isn't turned on.
  10. Fuel fill-up question

    Nah, that's solid advice from multiple sources.
  11. Maverick Tremor offroading limits found again -- broke rear drive shaft

    I read somewhere when the Ranchero was loaded up with a lot of weight, the doors could pop open because the B-pillar had flexed so the door catch wasn't where it should be... !!!! https://www.motortrend.com/features/ford-small-pickup-truck-history/
  12. Goodbye Tremor Hello Hybrid AWD

    I'm sure the tires make a HUGE difference in noise. I drive a convertible to work and semis and pickups can be NOISY! (Jeeps too!)
  13. What have you fit in your Maverick?

    Didn't think to take pictures but I laid some 6ft by 8ft wood fence panels in Mav last week! (yes they were sticking out the side quite a lot).. Strapped down of course.
  14. Ok to take soft tonneau cover into car wash?

    I do, no water leak in my OEM soft cover I installed myself. The only concerning part is the air drivers (blowers) at the exit literally bend the hood in some! :o It pops back out but man I was thinking I was going to have all kinds of grief the first time it happened.
  15. I asked ChatGPT to roast my Maverick purchase....

    You would not believe the amount of "smart" business people who are depending a LOT on AI to help do their work now though. And yes, those errors are getting passed in to their work....... :o
  16. Took the Maverick to Lowes, made some unexpected purchases. The rear window came in handy. Next time I’ll take my F150.

    Windows cost too much to not just hang it behind the tailgate and strap it down...
  17. Two weeks into a 2025 Maverick Lariat Hybrid - Long Owner's Review

    I assume these haven't changed from the '24 and earlier: -If you turn the headlights to "on" it disables the auto high beam until you turn back to auto or turn the truck off. -You don't ever have to push the button to release the parking brake, just put it into gear and push the gas and it will...
  18. Updated Information - Gas Filter on the Ecoboost, No Loss of Power

    The Maverick hybrid 191HP is max electric motor power PLUS gas engine power. It doesn't have 191HP available all the time- especially after getting going again from a stop, once it's depleted the HV battery won't get charged up unless it's driven down substantial hills..
  19. Looking for advice - 2025 2.5 Hybrid vs. 2.0 EcoBoost engine

    Definitely make sure any truck has the 4k tow package. I agree if you're towing "all the time", maybe ecoboost. The Hybrid is largely unchanged for 2025 from previous years, but they bumped the tow rating up from 2k to 4k (if equipped). I'd also maybe look into the brake specs- the hybrid...
  20. Decided not to take the 2025 AWD I ordered

    I wonder but not enough to look it up- when the '22 Maverick debuted it was cheaper than the Model T. (taking into account inflation). I wonder if that's still the case with the '25?
