I did end up investing in some block heater equipment before this winter. Got a VoltSafe magentic cord - link is to princessAuto who has them on clearance as I write. This makes the vehicle connection easier - not sure on reliability yet but has done well so far. The easier to connect the more...

Canada is a beautiful country and you've seen almost all of it tip to tail. I find the Maverick more difficult to drive in the city - the turning radius is the main problem. A 3 point turn on a busy and narrow dirt road with ditches on both sides would be the country equivalent. Doesn't help...

Shudder with the hybrid is a thing. I wouldn't think the subwoofer has anything to do with it. Next time it happens turn off the radio for a bit.

Thanks for the pictures @BoboysTruck - I was wondering where the fill plug came from. Turns out it's in the drivers (left) wheel well. Found it while swapping out to winter tires. Any idea what the temperature range listed on the sticker is for? Shows 20C to 93C. Seems like what the...

I installed the wheels last week in all their sparkle silver glory. I'll have to tell my daughters about the sparkle part. I really like the look of black with the silver hub caps but my tires are already mounted so no need for a colour adjustment now. They are just going to turn a nice...

I ended up picking up a set of steel wheels and hub caps locally. I didn't expect the lug nuts to be so expensive - seller was keeping his and now I see why. Went aftermarket trying the Dorman 611-982 will report back if I lose any hub caps but expect it should be fine. Wrapped the new to...

This will be my first winter with my 2023 Hybrid Maverick. After discovering the temperature requirements to get into hybrid full electric mode and possible exhaust gas heat exchanger issues I started to wonder how I could warm up my hybrid faster during the colder seasons. I'm not located...

I find that I do use more washer fluid because the windscreen on the maverick is a bug killing machine. I also found a fun feature that uses up more washer fluid. I was cleaning the windows while parked and getting ready to go just as my wife was about to get in the car. I didn't realize it...

Mine looks the same. Seems normal - looks like an almost painted cast part.

Looks good! I've been using the TW Hybrid Pro Graphene spray. Much easier than a paste wax and almost too easy to over apply when using the wet application method. I enjoy the good splash I get in the morning at the bottom of the first hill when the hydroscopic dew drops collect up, slosh off...

@georgeb which model of QuickJack do you have? The Maverick is such a long wheel base that I may have to compromise to be able to use it with all our vehicles.

Received my vehicle at the end of May - lowered the pressure to 35psi when I got it home. Now that the temperature has dropped here in Southern Ontario into the teens overnight my Ford Pass says I'm at 32psi this morning. Last night after a trip to see family the tires were 35psi at operating...

Thanks Garry. I am going to find a set more local to me. Shipping, customs and currency are things I'd rather not deal with. Probably not many seasonal sets of tires in Florida. 4 full size spares?

Looking for a set of OEM Ford steelies to put winter tires on for this winter. I'm located in Milton, On. and can pickup. Let me know what/where you have and how much you're asking. DM is fine if you prefer and a photo would be great. Chris

For anyone in the Southern Ontario area on Sunday August 27, 2023 the Golden Horseshoe Mustang Association is presenting the All Ford Stampede car show taking place at the Flamboro Speedway. All Fords are invited both old and new - the show benefits local charities. Gates open at 8:30 am and...

I'm seeing the right rear wheels outside brake pad isn't making full contact with the rotor. Seems to be hitting closer to the hub and not applying pressure near the outside edge of the rotor leaving a rusty spot. Left side rear is making even pressure across the face of the rotor and looks...

Short tripping distance is definitely extended by the hybrid. I haven't seen a quantitative number but one must exist somewhere. If oil changes can go ~2x as far for the hybrid because of all electric miles I guess you could say a short trip (3 miles) could be twice as far too (6 miles). Oil...

That is a lot of 303 protectant - 5 bottles of it. My current 32oz bottle is at least 8 years old and almost empty. I've never used the fabric product but really like the 303 protectant on plastics inside and out.

Thanks @TheSEARCH and @jsus steering wheel controls do exactly what I wanted. I wish the preset info would flash over the navigation screen like temperature or volume adjustments do. I'll just keep jumping presets until I find something I like. There is a single triangle on the steering wheel...

@GTBuzz or @Strobe any updates/experience/advice on lifting the maverick with the quickjack? Seems like the 6000ELX is the right model for the Maverick lift points but it wont fit under our CRV - or other normal wheelbase vehicles. Likely going to end up with a 7000TL and figure out how to...
