  1. 80 mph is top speed on Maverick? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS. Warnings & Bans Handed Out]

    NO. FALSE. The hybrid Maverick has an eCVT. It's a planetary gearset, there's no belt or cones at all.
  2. Time to let it go.

    Pretty nuts. I don't understand these people willing to spend "too much" for the cheapest vehicle Ford USA sells... :o
  3. bring granger quote to local dealers personally, or by email? [solved; epilogue]

    My only experience at the dealer (Maverick last year) leads me to believe that the upfront dealers are ok with email but many of them seem to want to do in-person or phone only, less evidence they have to deal with in case of disagreement.
  4. Blinker noise too loud

    Because it's slightly safer (3%?) than holding a phone while driving, and the idiot masses want it.
  5. Parking Lot Commandos: Door Dings

    I wonder if that's the source on ours of this weird small dent up high where a door definitely wouldn't hit it. I hadn't thought about it!!!
  6. Blinker noise too loud

    Even using hands-free is proven to be just as distracting while driving.
  7. Lack of Hybrid Technicians

    A hybrid is a hybrid, the Mav is very similar to the Escape which has been sold for a long time. That's crazy the dealer won't do what's needed to get techs who know what they're doing.
  8. Dial Shifter

    Miatas are better. :) Older ones were gutless and small, but so are most other go-karts..
  9. 2024 Mav - quirks

    If you still have thumping noises, take it to dealer. We had a weird rattle, they put some wireless microphones under there and drove it around. Turns out front right strut was defective. Replaced for free, they even picked it up and dropped it off at home.
  10. Lariat windshield just replaced at Safelite

    Had to have rear window of my Odyssey replaced this summer, local cheap glass shop was easily 1/3 less cost than Safelite
  11. Factory Brake Lights - LED or not

    No, they weren't LED. If the new LED bulbs don't match factory spec, the computer might think the bulb is burnt out and not even send electricity to it. Might also get dash warnings.
  12. Maxzina Fender Vent Side Marker Lights (Plug And Play) Demand

    NO WHITE LIGHT on the sides. Should be amber.
  13. Why do people complain about others spending 40k on a maverick?

    No need to justify whatsoever. Higher trims are always less "value" because you get the same motor/ transmission/ fenders/ truckbed/ interior carpet... But who cares? If I didn't have my '23 Hybrid Lariat FWD and if I could justify the "need" I would SUPER WANT the Lariat Hybrid AWD Maverick...
  14. seating difference between XLT and Lariat

    MANY Salesmen don't know much about their products and the business they're in. :o
  15. Sliding Bed Rails on Front of Bed

    I'll have to look at my truck this evening. Remember that the bed of the Maverick is PART OF THE FRAME, so any mods need to be made wisely. You can find the owner manual online, it talks about securing loads so as to not damage the frame. Lariat still comes with bed floor tiedowns towards...
  16. Not as advertised? No WI-FI hot spot installed at factory.

    Not quite correct. There are two pieces required for Ford Wi-Fi to work. The 3g/4g/whatever cellphone connection between truck and network WAS installed on all Mavericks. The extra piece that rebroadcasts that connection as WiFi to the people in the truck was NOT installed on most Mavericks...
  17. Is there a setting to keep eco drive mode on everytime you start the truck?

    Good point. it would cost (a little bit) to write different instruction manuals and/or write a little more code for each different model.
  18. Front LED Light Bar on a towed Hybrid

    I really hope that bar isn't lit up on public roads when other vehicles are around.
