  1. Add audible alert to mirror lights for the blind spot monitoring system?

    Our Honda has a beep beep if the blind spot indicator is on AND I turn on my blinker. I love that feature. Ford is still trying to figure out what people want, sadly. Bob
  2. I bought a 2026 Lariat Hybrid last week and I have a few thoughts and questions about it

    I live just north of you up by the range and there is still one snow bank in my back yard. I know snow, and I know winter driving. My 25 XLT AWD is fricking amazing in snow. It’s like it’s not even there and I have the stock tires on my truck. Honestly, my truck performed far better than I...
  3. Intermittent Red Screen Flash — 2025 Maverick XLT

    Nobody has reported this before that I know of and I’ve been on the forum for over a year. Since both trucks are doing this, there must be a common denominator unique to these two trucks. Bob
  4. 1976 Maverick No Recalls!

    My first car was the Maverick twin, a 1977 Mercury Comet. My dad owned a 76’ Baracuda as his daily driver back in the day. He didn’t like that car. He once said that the Baracuda was such a crappy car, it was the only car that started to rust on the showroom floor. Bob
  5. This single tip saves 20% gas!

    That is not true.
  6. Deciding what is next ; Keep or sell?

    You say it might worth upper 20’s. Let’s say $26k New 26’ XL is about 30K I don’t think you’ll get 26k for yours but who knows. I have 16k completely trouble free miles on my 25. I think your truck is still almost brand new but it sounds like you want piece of mind. Bob
  7. Fire extinguisher

    No need to be ashamed. You don’t know anxiety and fear until you’ve had a structure fire. It’s not the flames, it’s the smoke that destroys everything. In your case, it might have been both. Bob
  8. Maverick is being returned to Ford, hopefully our part ex 2019 Silverado is still at ford to get back

    I’ve heard it not as post and go. But as, Post and Ghost. It’s like you want to tell others about your problems but you’re afraid to see what people say back.
  9. Huge Insurance increase

    I have a 25’ hybrid and I pay about $70 a month with State Farm. I’ve never thought too much about it. I’ve had the same company and agent for probably 30 years and they have taken very good care of me when I needed them. Bob
  10. Caught a Maverick working hard....

    I think it’s the Detroit airport where birds live in the terminal and nest in the fake trees. I spent a night in there once against my will and observed them for some time. There are stories about them online. They live off the popcorn and food scarps we spill.
  11. how do you keep it in ECO mode?

    One thing for sure that I’ve learned don the forum is people just make stuff up based on an arbitrary feeling and call it the truth. How in God’s name can someone say that normal mode is healthiest on the engine. Where does this come from? A feeling down in the gut? Second, as a hybrid driver...
  12. how do you keep it in ECO mode?

    It dumbs down the gas peddle so everything is smoothed out. I think it does a few other things too which I am not privy to. Most drivers claim it does increase mpg. It does give you more regen braking which you can see on the gauge on the left and feel when coasting. Good times. Apparently...
  13. Shudder under acceleration

    After reading about a 1000 posts about bad front axles, I’de say it’s your cv joints Ford will replace them for free even though you are out of warranty since every Maverick they produced prior to 2025 has crappy cv joints Time to make an appt. Bob
  14. how do you keep it in ECO mode?

    Therefore, if I drive daily in eco mode I am wearing out my truck prematurely and it won’t last through the warranty. Bob
  15. how do you keep it in ECO mode?

    One of the best STUPID features of the truck. Being a Ford Engineer has no prerequisites.
  16. My poor Mav bites the dust.

    Everyone is gonna hate me now. NBMAV, you are partially at fault for the accident. All I know is what you wrote. Based on that: “He manages to come to a stop (I think) in the middle lane facing me at a 45 degree angle and as I'm slowing I'm thinking I'll manage to get by him as there is no way...
  17. 👉🏻UPDATE👇🏻 Ford uses Torx PLUS ++ Here is the Difference

    Geezus. I’m waiting til they come out with Torx ++
  18. China Has "Flash Charging" EV's

    I have solar on my house and over the course of a year, My total power bill is about $200 for the whole year. I produce way more power than I consume, but there are so many added costs to my power bill on top of the actual electricity I use. Surcharges, tax and so on. It is true that I have to...
  19. China Has "Flash Charging" EV's

    Oh oh, my BS meter just spiked. California is over-producing electricity in part to too much renewable electrical production. Wasn’t it California that also curtailed incentives for homeowners putting solar on their homes due to over-production? Bob
  20. China Has "Flash Charging" EV's

    The rest of the world is advancing EV battery technology year over year while in the US we have a very unfriendly administration towards EV’s. We fall further behind while everyone else advances. EV’s are coming from everywhere BYD is leading the pack and soon you will hear about them...
