My understanding is The ECVT Is not slated for a recommended flush service until 150K miles. If anything needs to be done to it way earlier than that, there is a serious issue IMO

My understanding is when they list component shortages or limitations like that, it's not supposed to apply to packages which include those components. So in theory (if that is indeed accurate), XLT Lux packages should be unaffected--it would just be people that added the bed liner as an...

The Numbers by themselves are without context is what i mean—ie you can’t make a determination off of them alone. That’s why there needs to be a comparison to see what those numbers mean. In this case, those numbers are lower for the Maverick than many of its peers, putting it above average...

See, this is what I’m talking about though. This is without context. IE, recalls in of themselves are not the only factor to consider. Take the Chevy Silverado. Mid 2010s there were models with over a dozen recalls in a similar time frame to the Maverick, including multiples for the same or...

Honestly i don’t have time to re-litigate the issue at the moment, so i apologize i can’t dredge up all the source material i read—but if you look at it by any metric the hybrid has good reliability (especially for an initial launch of a new model), even when compared against new launches of...

I'm gonna disagree here, if I may. The hybrids only have a bad reputation within a subset of the existing maverick owners pool, and that subset is a small minority of the total ownership of the car to begin with. Beyond that, it's only people that hate hybrids to begin with, so it's...

So forgive me if this was already addressed, but I didn't see it specifically or clearly brought up when I briefly scanned the replies--It appears from the video that this potential issue is specifically related to models with push button start. The Video states as much anyways. Now, if you...

Wait, so this week is just cleanup scheduling? When is the next major scheduling then? I thought they were doing the second Thursday of each month.

I think a fairly obvious thing that needs to be considered (my apologies if this was brought up already in prior comments) is the context everybody reports their MPGs in, and that anything over 32 is really good for any pickup purely based on the aerodynamics alone. For an example of...

Exactly this--people don't seem to understand it's the salt they put on the roads that screws everything up. Your average water/mud spray isn't likely to cause much issue on most modern vehicles by itself.

Show me where it looks or operates like a focus in any meaningful way. I'm not arguing it doesn't share some frame underpinnings, but that's super common with manufacturers anyways across multiple models, so it's sort of a moot point. The fact is when people say it's a "focus with a truck...

You'd be giving up a hell of a lot more than a few MPG. Not that the 2.0 turbo isn't relatively efficient, but on average you'd be losing 10 mpg at minimum depending on your exact driving conditions. I mean if you were getting 46 mpg before, I can guarantee you you wouldn't be getting much...

So has anybody actually received emails yet? Normally these threads are filled with folks getting the emails this morning. I’m curious because i haven’t seen an email yet, but I’m wondering if they’re just going out later today due to the size of the scheduling this time? EDIT: I finally...

Didn’t read other replies to see if this was already identified or not, so apologies if it’s already been cleared up— I think The confusion (at least on Lariat trims) is because technically those things are not standard, per se, on the Lariat itself. HOWEVER, the ONLY Lariats being produced...

I don't mean this to be negative or to offend--the post comes off (to me) as seeking validation for your refusal of a vehicle as insufficient, on the very forums dedicated to said vehicle. I think the way your post was presented was destined to start controversy. I'm glad you got what is best...

As another here mentioned, there's a massive price gap for a comparable version between the two. IE, an XLT Ranger vs XLT Maverick is gonna run about $10k more--and with that you lose a lot of fuel efficiency, so much higher cost to refuel as well. Don't get me wrong, the Ranger looks like a...

It's more than a comparable "non-commercial" vehicle would be of the same size/weight/class or whatever they use to classify these things and the fees that go with them. I don't know specifics, but I used to own a small pickup and remember paying an unusually large amount relative to the age...

The upshot us Californians have is that here we get a sizeable extension on the battery and hybrid components warranty. Fords normal warranty on the battery and hybrid system for example just meets federal minimums at 8 yrs/100k miles. In California though, Ford is required to extend the...

It's going to be essentially the same eCVT that the 22 and 23 models have in them. Maybe with a minor tweak here or there to adjust for something they've learned, but who knows. I should add that this is widely considered to be one of the more durable components in the vehicle overall--there's...

The Mav appears to have a bit better weight balance than most of the older small pickups from the 90s and such. Also, most importantly, it's either Front wheel drive or AWD (which defaults to FWD unless it detects slippage). As you probably already had some experience with, the issue with the...
