  1. What is this strap?

    Since the full size Maverick tires are larger than any spare, it's to tie down the flat tire in the bed.
  2. Ordered a 25' Lariat Hybrid , Having second thoughts ...

    Well of course, aerodynamics is a thing!!! In my 2015 Civic (regular model) I used to get 39mpg highway at 75mph, 42mpg at 65mph.
  3. Key fob...poor design?

    It will lock with the exterior number pad. :)
  4. Would You Buy Your Maverick Again?

    Same with most EVs. People don't want to buy 10yr old 100k EVs fearing battery condition, unlike regular cars at that age. PLUS regular cars that old are way cheaper.
  5. Parking brake

    Also if the auto hold or parking brake are turned on and you put in gear then push the gas for a couple seconds it will turn off the park brake and start to move.
  6. HEY! I didn't know the hood was aluminum!

    We've had 'deep sleep' notifications at least monthly over 2 years but never once had issues with the truck starting. The deep sleep notification also shuts off additional 'features' to make sure the 12v has enough juice to fire the computers to start. Recently we had sporadic issues with the...
  7. Why would I want to get a new Maverick?

    The majority of Americans are broke because they make silly financial decisions. I do my best to avoid that.
  8. Key fob...poor design?

    My fob was triggering the panic alarm ALL THE TIME. I dripped some superglue into the cracks on both sides of the alarm button, it hasn't gone off since. I wonder if it would work if I really mashed on it.
  9. Bottle jack with pinch weld adapter

    I use a small block of hardwood for my floorjack, make sure you put the grain perpendicular to the direction of the truck frame or it splits the wood.
  10. Car wash trouble

    Due to very unfortunate incidents of people getting crushed by vehicles, they're trying to dummy-proof cars rolling when the driver is not driving. Don't forget the Maverick doesn't have the traditional neutral like any manual or automatic transmission- the gears are always connected. If...
  11. why i did not get to buy my 2025 lariat today in morgan hill calif

    That's too much to the bank. We only paid $118 in interest on ours. We hadn't gotten email notifications about our truck after the first year, dealer called 6 months later on a Friday evening that the truck had arrived- we went Saturday morning to buy it and hadn't been able to transfer money...
  12. Tailight Removal for LEDs

    Anything I'm going to try doing I look at Youtube first. Lots of videos of removing the tail lights.
  13. XLT or Lariat for smoother ride

    Check tire pressure, too! If tires are high pressure they will ride rough
  14. Would You Buy Non-Hybrid FWD 2.5L Maverick

    I'm sure that if Ford could sell that 2.5L non-hybrid combo cheaper than the 2 existing options, they would have. That leads me to believe it would be more expensive for worse gas mileage. OR it's an issue with fleet fuel economy and Ford can't afford to drop their overall MPGs like that.
  15. Would You Buy Non-Hybrid FWD 2.5L Maverick

    Yeah go ask on a different thread, that's totally not on topic here. And, have you looked behind the seat? There's a lot of stuff in the way. Plus the engineering it would take to change that panel from load-bearing structure to not.
  16. Rear mounted snow plow installed

    LOL I'm not going to go looking for the guy that said they went down a road they couldn't turn around and got stuck in sand and took a couple hours to get out because they could only rock it in reverse 10-15sec at a time before the system shut off for safety/ cooling. The hybrid reverse is NOT...
  17. Rear mounted snow plow installed

    Or skip the irrelevant parts ("it's just my driveway", or "this isn't my primary") and understand "this is a very bad idea".
  18. Making rear turn signals more visible.

    Silly Murricans like the "cleaner" look of all red on the back. But after decades of driving and living 9+ years on other continents, amber is absolutely superior for turn signals. Other drivers' brains register immediately the difference between turning and "Oh now they're braking too!"
  19. Deep Sleep and Battery problems are all yours to deal with, once you reach the 3 year Standard Warranty!

    LOL Dealer just put an AGM battery in our April 23 hybrid because they're troubleshooting the passenger door touch unlock not working
  20. I test drove the Maverick Tremor & Ranger FX4 today, and the winner is...

    OR they're selling lots of them- still cheaper than F150s? Some of the people who would buy a big big truck may buy littler fully loaded truck. And which one does the dealership make more money on?
