  1. adaptive cruise control runaway problem

    Try turning off speed sign detection on your 2026 and see if it continues.
  2. Oil Change Frequency 2026 Hybrid Maverick

    There have been quite a few posts here that demonstrate that the OLM is very conservative with its recommendation and that severe service DOES trigger early change notification by the OLM. People have sent oil to the lab for testing and it comes back in great condition. I think Ford's OLM has...
  3. "Park Brake Limited Function, Service Required" after truck rolls backward toward a drop-off

    The parking brake takes a moment to engage, it may be possible that the service brakes were released before the PB was engaged which over-rode the action, leaving it off and the vehicle able to roll? My '25 hybrid will apply PB on any slight incline automatically, so it's not something I...
  4. 2026 XL 2.0 w/4k tow didn't cut the mustard on my steep dirt driveway

    Spend some of the money you saved not getting an F250 or a Tacoma and grab the FX4 package next time or at least put proper tires on the base model with the cost difference. I can climb Mount Everest, just not in my slippers. The vehicle coming out of gear and parking brake not engaging is...
  5. Beaded Seat Covers on Lariat

    Not having cooled seats in the Lariat was a big miss on Ford's part.
  6. MPG related to MPH

    Gently rolling hills and warm weather A/C off? 50MPG is possible. Cold weather and mountain roads? 25MPG probably. Flat terrain and A/C on, probably get EPA rating. Too many variables here without specifics.
  7. Towing hay, hauling motorcycles

    It'd be a little funny if HeyBales showed up to the haybales thread. You ever haul any hay bales @HeyBales?
  8. 2026 MTC ROUNDUP at CARLISLE FORD NATIONALS!

    I'm only about 30 minutes away, but was working this Friday and Saturday. I've done some safety event work at the Carlisle Car Shows a few times but that wasn't in the cards this year.
  9. diminished value insurance claim

    Tried against the other guys Progressive and with my State Farm, denied in Pennsylvania. I provided documents showing before and after valuation and prior adjudication and government docs citing average diminished value claims.
  10. How the eCVT in the Hybrid works

    Here, have an hour long video instead... 😆
  11. Symbol of a red triangle with an “!” In the middle of the triangle

    This sounds the most reasonable as it's on the infotainment screen.
  12. Maverick Rear speaker questions

    You'll get no argument from me about the difficulties of upgrading most modern audio systems. I'd kill for manufacturers to include a line out in the factory equipment since replacing head units are much more difficult or impossible these days.
  13. Maverick Rear speaker questions

    I've been in an Audi A3 S-Line for the past month. The materials quality and audio system were excellent... but honestly the audio was still only a small measure better than my Mavericks B&O audio. People on this forum are way too critical of it. It does the job quite well with only a few...
  14. Experiments with tire pressure on my Lariat

    Lower pressure allows more sidewall flex, which is one of the main contributors of the tire heating up (past ambient) which may shorten the tire life. For something like autocross or "spirited" drivers this may contribute to early sidewall failure as well when hard braking is also heating the...
  15. Rain-X windshield washer fluid - yes or no?

    I don't like the colorful residue left by some of them, so I got some Adam's washer fluid. It's one of the few that I could find without dyes, with rain repellent, and is freeze-resistant. Relatively pricey, but I don't go through washer-fluid terribly fast. Try to find it at a retailer though...
  16. Trans/RDU/PTU service costs

    I had the dealer do a cursory inspection of my hybrid's transmission to check for leaks, fluid quantity, and fluid quality when my first annual maintenance rolled around. They made sure that the levels were good and that there were no obvious signs of leaks or contamination of the fluid. Going...
  17. Replacement Tire suggestion: Goodyear Wrangler territory HT

    I have a set of the 19" Goodyear Wrangler HT's with about 3k easy miles on them that I'll part with for any reasonable offer for anyone that'll pick up from South Central PA. Replaced them with Michelin CrossClimate2's due to my job requiring attendance in all weather. I agree that the...
  18. 2025 Charging pad

    The problem is using wireless Android Auto / Apple CarPlay / GPS Mapping with wireless charging in progress. Every phone and every quality wireless charger has the same problem... overheating. The AA/CP/GPS and induction charging combos are no bueno. If you're charging an idle phone there isn't...
  19. Latest Hybrid vs EcoBoost Comparison Showdown (The Fast Lane)

    A performance tuned hybrid could be a very interesting street truck or rock crawler. I'm not aware of any technical limitations stopping Ford here, just the will to do so. Maybe the 2.0EB + hybrid powertrain.
