Probably so. Ford numbers their safety recalls by the year they were enacted and in sequential order. And they consist of 5 digits. Example 25S01 indicates that this recall is the first safety recall issued in 2025. 25S49 indicates that this is the 49th recall of 2025. Well a few weeks ago, I...

My thoughts. There are approximately 278 MILLION adults in the USA. Many surveys consist of just a few thousand people. Many many surveys are conducted by phone. In today's world, a lot of people refuse to answer unfamiliar numbers. And of those who answer, many of us will hang up as soon as get...

I put about 3,000 miles monthly on my truck 😂

In most likelihood, they will replace them because it's not a difficult repair, it's easy money from Ford, and isn't that strict concerning these axles. There are some customer satisfaction recalls where the procedures for approval are very strict. And the concern has to be verified to certain...

In It all honesty, I think the lower 30s I barely typical when driving 70 miles an hour or so . It may vary a bit depending on whether you use the cruise or not or are in eco mode or not . But and how we driving acceleration and deceleration are not really big factors. And the engine is pretty...

Back during the carburetor and adjustable timing days, I don’t think the price difference was as great as it is now. It used to be about a 10% difference. Today it’s about a 25-35% difference. You would have to get a LOT better fuel economy and performance to make up that big of a difference...

That's true. But in most cases it's only noticeable when seeking maximum acceleration. Most of the time it's not noticeable to most people.

My nephew has an F-150. And as he was driving my Maverick, he described it as driving and feeling like his f150 , just smaller. He said it as a compliment. Yes it's lighter and smaller. And it feels like it. Yet it still manages to have the familiar Ford truck feel

I recommend resetting the BMS even with this battery. We've done it on both hybrid and non hybrids. And it often helps with deep sleep issues. It shouldn't need resetting. But someone forgot to give it the memo. 😅

My instinct is yes given that the rear differential is the same as used in the hybrid. But let me check so I can give a definite answer

I wish they'd told me that the great fuel economy in the hybrid would cause me to drive unnecessarily and put an inordinate amount of miles on it😂😂😂

In my opinion, it was perfectly reasonable to assume that the Maverick was initially offered at an introductory low price. And the fact that it has come to be just a little bit lower in price than it's platform mates should have been expected from day one if it was indeed successful. Especially...

Exactly!

The weak link in long distance driving is the HUMAN and his ability to stay alert, calm, and pain free. The truck will be fine

E Exactly! And the coolant actually continues to circulate through a bit after shutoff using the principle of hot water rising and cool water falling creating a siphoning effect. While unsuitable for the Maverick, even the "dinosaur piss" of today is vastly superior to that of 20-30 years ago

That's typical at TRUE highway speeds of 70 or so The EPA highway test is around 50mph. I think.

8year/100, 000 mile warranty on hybrid components. Nothing in the owner manual remotely cautioning against long trips. The only thing I'd worry about is the human backside's ability to endure the trip and driver fatigue. If you have an additional driver, you can drive continuously until it's...

Vehicles are meant to be driven. And highway steady speed driving is the LEAST STRESSFUL type of driving you can do in a vehicle. If a person simply drove cross country trips at legal highway as speeds, their vehicle would likely last 300,000 miles or more. And I'm being conservative with that

Drive it like you stole it. The vehicle has a cooling system That's designed to keep EVERYTHING within proper operating temperatures under any normal driving conditions. Driving across country at legal highway speeds is about the LEAST STRESSFUL driving for any vehicle. The transmission has a...

A dealership is REQUIRED to perform warranty service if it is a franchised dealership. They may not be equipped for certain specialties such as Hybrid or EV. But if not equipped to service a vehicle, we are not allowed to sell it. If a dealer refuses to honor warranty, it has to have a...
