  1. Ford Dealer Gave me a 2023 Toyota Camry Loaner and I was NOT impressed.

    Hey a folding ruler! Must be a tradesman. I drove a 24 Prius this past week on vacation. Put on a few hundred miles. Amazing car and I got about 48MPG city and highway average. Only complain I would have is I feel like I was sitting in a Corvette three inches off the road. You really gotta...
  2. list of actual differences between co-pilot 1.0 and 2.0?

    Alright since you brought it up. ACC is really cool but also really stupid. Anyone that uses it knows that you can set the cruise for lets say, 70 mph, and suddenly you realize you are going 63 because you’ve been following some slow poke for 2 miles. It is mostly a stupid feature that on rare...
  3. teetering on the edge of ordering . . .

    But since we know a vehicle is not an investment, buying extras upfront to get a partial return down the road is a fools decision. Nothing in a car is worth throwing good money at for a depreciated return later. I didn’t teeter on my purchase, I ordered a 25 hybrid AWD as soon as I was able to...
  4. AGM Battery for the Maverick ecoboost cheap at Walmart

    I haven’t read through all the pages but I should. I have a 2006 Prius (hybrid) I went through plenty of batteries over the years, expensive and cheap. On a Prius forum I foundd that buying $200 batteries for the motor were a waste of money. I’m now using a wheelchair battery that cost me $60...
  5. It wasn't a Maverick but the Mercury version

    72’ Mercury Comet was my first car. Sure wish I could buy another one!
  6. Fit a FULL SIZE SPARE TIRE under the Maverick to replace the pathetic factory bicycle wheel spare!

    It says ā€˜conventional’ tire. Not ā€˜full-sizeā€˜ tire. At least on the web site. But I agree that we are falsely lead to believe that the spare is a fifth tire identical to the tires on the truck. The 4k tow pancake gives us a bigger tire than the donut but not an IDENTICAL tire As the rest. I...
  7. Fit a FULL SIZE SPARE TIRE under the Maverick to replace the pathetic factory bicycle wheel spare!

    Tbone. Shoot. Picture of the tire size too please! That is just a picture of a tire under a truck. Bob
  8. Fit a FULL SIZE SPARE TIRE under the Maverick to replace the pathetic factory bicycle wheel spare!

    On the 2025 Mav XLT with the 4k tow package it says it comes with conventional tire’ ,a 215 70R17. The factory tires on The vehicle are 225 65R17. Therefore the tire may look identical from a quick viewing but it is not the identical sized tire that is on the truck Which I didn’t know, and is...
  9. The last straw? (Vehicle down for 3+ weeks, with no end in sight.)

    You are obviously very pissed and wrote a pretty long post with a lot of adjectives. Two items that stick out to me. When your vehicle died and then was stuck in park, my first thought was that you had a bad battery connection, even before I read about your battery. My Prius will not do a damn...
  10. 2024 Maverick Hybrid serious safety concern.

    Yes you should report it to the NHTSA I don’t know if Ford would do it. If it happened to you there are probably others. For a safety issue like yours, if a faulty part or software is found, it will generate a recall even if it is a small number of vehicles.
  11. Possible Maverick Competitor: Kia Tasman ?

    If you see fewer than before, where do you think they are going?
  12. White Smoke out of my exhaust on my 24 Mav EB

    That’s a head gasket leaking and you are burning antifreeze. If your coolant is going down, that’s what it is. Exhaust will have a damp sweet smell. If it only happens when engine is cold and coolant not going down then not a problem.
  13. Are maverick prices due to crash?

    Finding the 2025 Maverick is not hidden. I found it. New people come into the market every day. I was not in the market for a truck six months ago. I started thinking about a new truck and then read an article about the 25 AWD hybrid Maverick and decided that I would buy one. So I did. The...
  14. Fuel choice? E15?

    Also not mentioned about making ethanol is the vast quantities of water pulled from the aquifer to make the ethenal. Not to mention the vast amount of water needed to grow the corn. Ethenol in gasoline was a political move. Not an environmental move and not consumer-driven move. Itā€˜s about...
  15. Found this wire in the glove box - what is it for?

    Back in the day when I worked on the assembly line, if we had extra parts after the vehicle rolled off the line, we would put the extra stuff in the glove compartment. Some items were too bulky and we pout them in the back seat. -Bob
  16. Farewell to the Maverick

    I was all in on a lightning. I joined the lightning forum and read it pretty much every day. I did not want an ice vehicle as my new drive. After several months of reading the forum, I talked myself out of one. Price was a big factor. The chronic issues with charging stations was probably the...
  17. Service engine oil light is a joke

    I’m new to the forum and I have now figured out who the know it all A-hole on the forums is. What’s with your attitude? Super turned off by your remarks to others. FYI
  18. Space White 2025 Maverick at the Miami International Auto Show!

    For a guy that has never owned a Ford and did indeed order a 25 Maverick XLT, this video is wonderful! Thank you. I was going to buy a lightning and was all in until I learned too much about it and the still chronic charging issues out there. Let alone the price tag for an extended range...
  19. Aftermarket Rear Seat Delete Kit Exists

    Here’s what I think. The guy is building the site. He published the site. He didn’t think anyone would find it yet as he worked on it. It’s been found in its infancy and now people think it’s a scam. It’s clearly someone just getting started with the site. That’s all. Hey my first post on this...
