  1. Under hood insulation in winter for hybrid?

    Hmmmm. Disagree! Cold air does indeed affect engine temp considerably. In northern MN where I live, my engine temp rarely reaches normal engine range unless I’m on the freeway. I get cabin heat but the gauge often shows barely above the minimum indicator. Cold air DOES affect engine temp. And...
  2. Outside temperature display changes white to orange at 4 degrees Fahrenheit and under

    The numbers turning orange is just another stupid ā€˜feature’ that Ford may or may not have given you. I see the orange numbers often and it makes no sense to me. The user interface on the screen was coded by people that hopefully no longer work at Ford. How can a multi-billion dollar company...
  3. MTC Errors

    I know that when people mention DuckDuckGo, the thread or post often disappears since advertisements are not shown when using the browser. And tracking cookies are not put on your computer. The owner of MTC will censor anyone that posts this to keep their revenue stream flowing. Therefore I...
  4. Tips for New Forum Folks

    Then there is the wife that just looks at the ice cream and says ā€œnoā€. Bob
  5. Install push button start

    Yes there is a push button option that is readily available. For you, it will cost about $13k to install and comes with a new truck For free. I don’t need lots of bells and whistles but that push button is a must have for me. Bob
  6. Anybody here get their truck stolen yesterday in Cook/DuPage County IL?

    Probably not wise to say ā€˜cheers’ to someone after being a chronic @sshole with your replies. Anyway, the truck was stolen before hand, not at the scene of the crime. Bob
  7. New Maverick recall?

    6000 affected vehicles So it’s not gonna make the news. Bob
  8. No GPS without Telematics?

    You beat me to it. What? You worry about privacy so pull fuse 11. Then someone says, ā€˜Use your phone for GPS’. Uh, your phone is an analytics data gathering device. More information is gathered, stored, and sold from your phone than a lil’ Maverick ever will. And a company like Lexis Nexis...
  9. 3800 lb trailer, 467 lb tongue weight

    Trailers are essentially a dime a dozen. I would not buy a trailer just because the opportunity for a good price came my way if it was not ideal for my vehicle. For me with my 25 XLT w/tow package. That is way too much trailer for my Mav. For an f150 sure. As mentioned, it puts too much weight...
  10. Car Max Pricing - 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid

    I think that applies to ANY used car purchased anywhere. Bob
  11. Can I drive my 2025 Hybrid fwd Maverick 36 hours cross country?

    Yes, not just possible, but absolute. I have a 25 hybrid and in cold weather with a coldish engine, I can do 32 mpg quite often. Bob
  12. Roof rack wind noise on Maverick – what actually causes it?

    Yup it happens. roof rack bars are so noisy that I can’t leave them on if I’m not using them. However when I have a canoe on them, the noise is very tolerable. I think it’s the immense amount of air moving over the windshield and hitting the bars. I also think there is some vibration from the...
  13. Can I drive my 2025 Hybrid fwd Maverick 36 hours cross country?

    Agreed!!! I wonder if the wheel bearings might overheat tho.
  14. Confirmed - Battery Saver mode doesn't look at the battery health!!! Time to complain

    Alright, it appears you are trying to start a national movement to make Ford admit their omission on the owners manual. They’re not gonna do anything. And almost nobody else will either. This forum is about 50% people complaining about the dumb things their Maverick does (I’m one of them). I...
  15. Your humor: Do they get it, or are you like me?

    I think I’m funny, other people don’t think I’m funny. My humor is so dry that I need to explain the punchline afterwards. :( Bob
  16. Dealer tried to decline warranty for required repairs.

    You are 100% entitled to warranty service for the ā€˜repair’. And as you mentioned, how are you to diagnose the issue to determine what the problem is. Your dealer is a POS. I had a dealer try this on me with a new motorcycle. They denied warranty repairs for a carburetor issue. I called the...
  17. Tips for New Forum Folks

    I dunno, is this forum so complicated that we need to give instructiosn to new members on how to use it? I mean, I figured it out and I’m not a Phd. Oops did I use an acronym? Do I have to spell it out. I didn’t know what EB meant when I first joined but I figured it out pretty quick. Bob
  18. Totaled Maverick

    I think the point of this thread is that people reply to threads without reading them first. Bob
  19. Gripe with Mabett

    let’s call your bin an ā€˜assembly’. It is very common that particular parts are not available for an assembly. Think of the million zillion parts out there that go into making things. Distributors do not stock extra parts for assembled things. Go to the hardware store and buy a spring. I think...
  20. Low beam LED brightness on the weak side

    Ehh, I think my Mav headlights are the bomb. Bright and white. Either there are some crappy headlights on some Mavericks or some people perceive them as being too dim. I drive a MY25. Bob
