  1. Unbelievable blaring noise from radio upon startup followed by static

    I took mine to my dealer and he did some software updates, I believe and it’s never happened again. Let us know how it turns out with you. In my opinion, the radio is the only negative part about the Maverick and not just because of this strange occurrence, it just doesn’t seem to function...
  2. Unbelievable blaring noise from radio upon startup followed by static

    If it were to happen again, while I’m driving, I think I would be OK. I think I would quickly remember what was happen. If it happened for the first time when I was driving in heavy traffic or high speed, I think there could’ve been serious problems. I’m reminded of that scene in the movie...
  3. Unbelievable blaring noise from radio upon startup followed by static

    This happened to me yesterday and I’ve since read online this has happened to some F150s. It’s hard to describe just how loud and shocking the noise was. Threw my golf clubs in back and was running to driving range at lunch yesterday. Shut the door, put foot on brake, hit the start button and...
  4. MPG into headwind with temps below 10 degrees

    Just an interesting observation. Drove back-and-forth to Chicago this week. On the way up, it was about 6° when I left from St. Louis to Chicago and the wind was coming more or less from about my 9 to 11 o’clock as best I could tell. According to my trip odometer, 23.6 miles per gallon. On the...
  5. Song title not keeping up

    This is a very minor annoyance, but I find when I change channels using the steering wheel control, and I have the song and artist selection on my dashboard, they don’t sync up. If I skip through two or three channels, it shows the correct artist, but the previous song. Again, not a big deal but...
  6. Slippery mode is beneficial

    Got caught in snow coming across Kansas after Thanksgiving and there were dozens of cars off I-70. I was in slippery mode and had no issues with traction.
  7. This is what’s in store for EV owners [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    No way I’m going to read 17 pages of this thread and maybe this has been covered but one thing that seems clear to me is EV vehicles won’t be escaping some version of the gas tax I pay. It wouldn’t surprise me if states or the feds come out with a wireless monitor attached to every EV vehicle...
  8. GM just shut down EV production

    The reality is the political and social desires for electric vehicles is 10 or more years ahead of the actual infrastructure. That’s why we’re facing these uncertainties and actions taken by companies as they try to predict the future.
  9. GM just shut down EV production

    You’re right, we certainly don’t want to have a comprehensive conversation on a very complicated topic so let’s just keep it nice and narrow so we can avoid the unpleasant parts.
  10. GM just shut down EV production

    Meaning the Bolt was affordable because other people paid for part of it through their taxes. I don’t recall any subsidies when cell phones came on the scene. They took over because consumer demand forced manufacturers to produce the supply. These EV subsidies have been going on too long. Either...
  11. What's your Maverick hauling in the bed? [Photos Edition]

    From St. Louis to Canon City CO and back a week later.
  12. Can drain holes at the front of the bed be tapped to hold bolts?

    Duh…..of course….should have thought about that. A version used on many motorcycle windshields. Rubber insert with brass threaded nut inside. Good solution. Temporary, won’t scratch anything, removable and cheap. Thanks. yea, I checked the clearance. I won’t be going anywhere deep enough to...
  13. Can drain holes at the front of the bed be tapped to hold bolts?

    Has anyone tapped the drain holes at the front of the bed to hold a bolt? I have a 2 x 2 three-quarter inch piece of plywood that I have a motorcycle wheel chock attached to and I would like to tap two of the drain holes just to hold it in place and give it a little bit of stability. The...
