I wondered about the little damper cylinder and decided to wait until my truck arrived a week ago. When I lowered the tailgate I was surprised how light it is. I actually went and checked it with a magnet as I thought it might be aluminum, but no, it is steel. I thought perhaps I somehow got...

Yup, weird but normal, even without a key being present

I was wondering about this too, but the key in the recall were the words "select vehicles" My Hybrid shipped on May 4th and I picked it up two days ago. I worried there might be a hold on it, but nothing ever turned up on the recall site. I was surprised to see the grill louvers were all in...

I will be extremely disappointed if not downright angry if that option is missing when it comes in. Was shipped five weeks ago. My dealer did catch the change in the packages when the rollover happened last year. Original 22 order in October of 21. I see both sides of what happened, chip...

Nothing under my vin, at least not yet. Shipped notice on May 5th?

If the ignition was turned off with the wipers in use and they stopped in anything but the park position, when the ignition is switched on they will either run or try to park if the wiper switch was turned off at any point. That would be normal operation. If they activated just from the act of...

I am not concerned about the temporary nature of the spare and its intended use. My experience with full time awd vehicles has been that there are limits to how much difference you can have in rolling diameter. No problem with front, rear or selectable 4wd, the spare can go on the non driven...

AWD won't like the 1.36" difference in diameter. Certainly misleading if not downright lying.

Okay, conventional top post type, got it. I guess it wouldn't be a big deal since it isn't a regular maintenance thing. Hopefully I will never need to explore this problem🤞

Thanks for the information. I don't have my Mav yet, scheduled for production next week, but I am curious what the battery connections look like? The PDF's state a jumper to be used between cable and terminal before installing the ammeter to measure draw, and that does make sense, but how does...

Old school is to remove one battery cable and connect an ammeter inline to see if there is an abnormal parasitic draw. At least it would quantify what's going on.

I suspect the default to outside air is because they want fresh air flow if possible. I have seen that on other vehicles too. Default is for flow through ventilation.

Yep, this lifeboat has lots of passengers. Mine was finally scheduled for w/o March 27, five days later went to week of April 17th. At least I have a vin# so it's no longer a unicorn:rolleyes:

I had pretty much given up, Oct '21, and I have been looking at alternatives on and off. First it was plug in hybrids as a possiblity, but the only thing in the same monetary area is a Kia Niro PHEV, availability a question mark, and just too small. Then came the latest 45day sorry letter ten...

I don't have my Maverick yet, but the location of the inlet in the photo looks like that should be a nice high pressure area for an air intake. Again, the only way to know for sure is to test. A simple u-tube manometer with probes in the area of air inlet vs inside the air box or just about any...

Not directly connected to a Maverick, but the only way to know for sure what the flow potential of any system is, is to test it. I have had a homebuilt flowbench for many years, capacity of ~600cfm at 28"wc. In most cases, the factory stuff is highly developed, and what looks right to the casual...

It is a crying shame that a hot property like the Maverick is slowly losing it's shine simply because of slow delivery and seemingly inexplicable, or at least arbitrary, price increases. What was a pretty good and attractive deal at $33,525, price level 220 when ordered in 2021, has increased...

It probably has a story to tell which would be interesting. In March of 2014 I bought a 2011 Subaru Forester with 163,000 miles on it. It also went through an auction before the lot I bought it from but did track down the original use and it was owned by a cattle breeding business. The bulk of...

Yup, got another one today. Mine is a rollover from 2021 but as far as I know, they didn't start the 45 day letter commitment until the 2023 order bank had opened and closed? I noticed the letter is getting less explanatory as time goes by. I just looked back at my pile of letters and indeed...
