  1. BAKFLIP MX4 versus…

    I like the looks of yours better. When I bought my Maverick (4 yrs ago) not many tonneau choices...so bought a cheap quick solution...but my quick and cheap choice has been excellent. My cheap $200+- soft Chinese tri-fold Gator brand probably weights 1/2 the weight and 1/2 the thickness of a...
  2. Your Retractable Tonneau Reviews

    I too bought a temporary Gator tri-fold tonneau off the internet ($300) and thought I'd have rain leaks so added some 3M adhesive rubber strips from Lowes around the underside-bottom of the tonneau cover and around the tailgate and approaching 4 yrs on a 2022 Hybrid still have not had any...
  3. Technology Rant

    My auto high beams work really well on my 2022 Hybrid. But, as it should be at night, when you are approaching another vehicle they automatically dim. Wide open highway, no incoming traffic, they automatically return on high beam on my "HEADLIGHTS".
  4. Technology Rant

    I will totally agree on the Owner's Manual. Worst manual I have ever encountered.... Another drivers changed my headlight setting, so looked in the manual to review settings. I've always called them "headlights", but Maverick manual calls then "Light LAMPS". Even used "Google" to find the...
  5. Improved the ugly front end on 2026 Maverick XLT w/ black wrap on 2025+ facelift bumper

    Not far fetched...When the Mini-Copper first came out a user had a banging noise on the right side of the cabin every time he accelerated or touched the brakes. Dealer took out the dash, side panels, etc, etc. After several months dealer never found the problem but being agreeable with an...
  6. My Tremor w/ prerunner inspired rear bumper

    Centered license tag looks much better.
  7. California City and Randsburg Desert Trail Fun

    Have visited Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, Manzanar dozens of times on motorcycle trips. Really like that area....especially Alabama Hills...so historic...most of the old Western movies were filmed at Alabama Hills.
  8. For those that complain about the dial shifter...

    I'll confess ... driving cross-country last summer at night in the dark, my iphone charging cable got wrapped around the Maverick gear shift knob. Got a phone call and picked up phone and phone cable pulled my gear shifter from Drive into Park while doing 70 mph....Would have thought it would...
  9. Terrible gas mileage!

    For 2 yrs I've waited til gas is down to 50-60 miles until empty. Go to Costco and add 2 gallons of higher octane then fill up with their 87 octane...Always get 2 to 3 mpg more by adding the higher octane, but engine runs much better, noticeably better acceleration with the slight extra...
  10. Hit and Run , Ouch!

    If she did not have a valid drivers license most Insurance Companies will not cover any claim on unlicensed drivers....hope you have non-insured motorist as part of your insurance. I'd check the body shop to see if there is a storage fee...had a damaged tire in a stolen car and the body shop...
  11. Hybrid battery drain issue / ACCM update (as of 11/8/25) -- Latest info from a tech's perspective

    If the battery drain issue is uncovered during warranty period and not fixed...can owners assume it remains a warranty issue even after the warranty expiration date? My other vehicle(s) warranties kept if covered until resolved. I don't have the sleeping battery issue but if I did, I think I'd...
  12. Hybrid battery drain issue / ACCM update (as of 11/8/25) -- Latest info from a tech's perspective

    I Googled the Ford F-150 and it too has the Sleep failure issue...with Ford service scratching their heads on the F150 also.
  13. Hybrid battery drain issue / ACCM update (as of 11/8/25) -- Latest info from a tech's perspective

    Probably right...but if I'm listening to CarPlay/Radio from battery (ICE not on) for 20 minutes if I may get a message on the screen that my battery is turning off CarPlay to preserve the battery for ICE....but truck still starts. No doubt Ford puts out contracts for bids on components with...
  14. Hybrid battery drain issue / ACCM update (as of 11/8/25) -- Latest info from a tech's perspective

    I checked for how many components the typical Ford truck monitors when being turned on and off. The number of components is not available but the below is a general list from of a Ford website. Based on the below descriptions there may be 100 components controlled by the Maverick (or any Ford...
  15. Hybrid battery drain issue / ACCM update (as of 11/8/25) -- Latest info from a tech's perspective

    I only have the problem when my interior lights do not come on when door is opened. Deb - you can add what is called a "SAE connector to your battery under the hood. then get a trickle charger (not real expensive) with a SAE connector. Permanently have someone install the SAE connector to the...
  16. Steeda sway bar installed on 2025 hybrid AWD

    You will find the "Ignore" option very convenient. He's been on mine for months.
  17. 2025 Hybrid. How do you decide when to change the oil?

    Once I saw all the bolts for the oil plate cover, need for ramps, need for a lift, or 2 jacks, change of clothes, etc, etc. it is cheaper for me to take to a local oil change dealer for $60-70 who have all the tools and they take about 20 minutes. DIY is just not worth it for me.
  18. 2025 Hybrid. How do you decide when to change the oil?

    Not disagreeing with your octane...but I usually go to Costco for gas and wait until under 100 miles of fuel left in tank and buy 10-11 gal for their 87 octane and the last two gallons of Premium....This adds several more miles per gallon...almost always get 43.2 miles per gallon....but most...
  19. why i did not get to buy my 2025 lariat today in morgan hill calif

    My bank/credit union will no longer provide Cashier's Checks....anyone can order preprinted cashier's checks and fraudulently print and use them. I wrote a check to my credit union, my bank wrote a check from their Logo Check and dealer scanned their (my credit union's) check and transferred...
  20. CEO Jim Farley on steering Ford through Trump's tariffs

    It's all in the math. I build electronic systems for a living...A part I'd pay $50 for from a USA manufacturer might cost me $5.00 from India, China, etc. The US key problem is labor & benefit costs...The worker in India makes $5.00-$10.00 an hour, PERIOD, the USA workers demands health...
