Submitted oil sample after ~3,000 miles on lube oil after 1st oil change at 977 miles. Truck currently has 4,7xx miles. “This engine's on the right track. Copper and silicon are lower this time, which is what we should be seeing as break-in material washes out. We suspect those two elements...

Completed the wiper motor recall. Dropped truck yesterday at 8:30 am, service advisor called 6:30 pm, same day saying truck ready. He telling me of other recall, the back up screen freeze, Ford working for a fix, for that. I said “yea, I’m aware”. And Ford laid off 400 software folks. He laugh...

I have the truck scheduled with dealer for the wiper motor recall, on Dec 12. Questions - has any owner gone thru this recall process? One day job? Did you do post work inspection…fasteners, paint, fitting? What is warranty? If yours was done, happy?

Got Ford notice of recall on the wiper motor seal issue. Loverly. Question - anyone knows where that wiper motor is located? I opened the hood, look near, under the firewall for the wiper motor. I just can’t see it. It may be hidden behind some stuff there, or maybe inside that drain, vent pan...

I’m interested to find a small tool box, similar to those aluminum jobs that goes across the top of truck beds. But will fit “inside” the bed, up against the wall, under the window. Very low profile, so to speak. Something to put a small floor Jack, some tools to do flat tires, a DC powered air...

Just started the truck, warm day, AC on, blower on 3rd notch, drove maybe 2 miles, sitting at stoplight, the AC blower suddenly quit. WTH? Noticed the lights on 3 buttons off…the AC button, the recirculate button, and other beside it. Baffled, I hit off button. Then hit AC button. Nothing. Turn...

After I got the truck in Oct last year, learned of the body control module and tail light issue. Dealer sent mobile tech to do software dump. Went smooth. My viewing Ford Pass app on my cell phone, under the service/recall icon, saw a red flag, saying the recall needs action. I’m asking why, if...

After couple request, and attempts, finally got my cell phone reconnected to the truck. Couple of members offered suggestions and that helped a bunch. Difficult part was getting wife to first delete the truck from her Ford Pass site, using her computer. . She wanted her time to turn on her iPad...

When I brought the Maverick, the salesman was assisting in setting up my cell phone with Fordpass app. When he learned wife had Fordpass on her phone for her Escape, it was a link for my cell. Ok, we got my cell phone setup for Fordpass to the Maverick. Over time, I had no issue just clicking...

I’ve noticed my 2023 XLT has keyed anti-thief lug nuts on the wheels. And I also noticed most of the Mavericks I’ve seen have them. My question is why. I can only assume they added when vehicles completed at the factory, stored for transport. Or while in transit. That to keep the locals from...

Just sucked oil thru dip stick tube using plastic tubing mated to suction gun sample bottle. Mailed off sample to Blackstone. 977 miles since new on this Maverick. considering first oil change, want to see sample analysis, how bad, quantity of metals. if low contamination, and oil checks...

On my 2011 F250 I noticed fuel dash gauge when on full would tend to drop sooner than say 3/4 to 1/4 range . I attribute that to fuel tank shape. Level drops quicker from full to 3/4 mark, then as driving further tends to do, see slower drop, readouts of level. I’m seeing similar on this...

Anyone know what this bracket for, intended use? I just discovered it, having tail gate open and see a screw/bolt loose. I suspect the crew who sprayed liner removed it, and didn’t properly installed it. Screw threads ok, but won’t screw into a fastener indide the gate. The only observation I...

Re: A comment in a Toyota piece about Stout vs Maverick “One of the primary reasons for the Toyota Stout’s reintroduction is probable competition with the Ford Maverick. Ford’s Maverick is a new compact pickup vehicle. It was created to cater to younger Urban customers who seek a multi-purpose...

I have an oil sampler suction pump/cup, hand operated. Could slip tube into oil dipstick, pump oil out to get sample to send to lab. i would like to get couple low mileage samples before a say, a possible 3,000 miles oil change, since new. The oil may be ok, but a “dirty“ filter only change...
