  1. Things I wish I knew before I bought my Maverick

    take a look at your battery. I have a 24 Lariat (non-hybrid) that I picked up a year ago, the end of this month. My battery is an AMG.... Checked it out yesterday while adding windshield washer fluid.
  2. Deep Sleep Mode – More common?

    Don't have a hybrid, but recently have had (twice) the message that they were shutting down things as the battery was low.. Weird... Could the battery be going? Left truck in Jackman ME for a week last winter while I went snowmobiling in Canada and it got buried (2 large snow storms) and it...
  3. Diode Dynamics Fog Lights Fading

    "Mothers" make/made (had it for a while) something called "Back to Black" that is a trim and Plastic restorer. Just finished using on my MAV after polishing the rest. Since my truck is only a year old no fade, but did clean it up...
  4. Oil life at 51% at 6,030 miles.

    At my last (2nd, first at around 2300) I had gone a little over 10,000 miles and the life was still at 30 something percent and I did quite a bit of towing last winter to go snowmobiling in northern ME (from MA). Both of my last 2 fords (Edge and Escape) I would get a message to change my oil...
  5. New update to include cluster turn by turn navigation for Google Maps?

    not too recently, been this way on Waze since I started using a couple months ago.
  6. New update to include cluster turn by turn navigation for Google Maps?

    When I plug my phone in and use WAZE I my 24 I get maps on the trucks screen and turn by turn on my phone.
  7. Why do we think Ford did away with Eruption Green?

    My 2 door explorer (back in the day) was a dark green, almost British Racing Green, with a secondary color along the bottom of tan that matched the leather interior. That would have been mid 90's. Awesome color combination....
  8. Honda Rescue

    No such thing in MA... Did away with that years ago... Now considering allowing again. Hope not.. Under MA law, you can still discount a drink, but not timing it... Whole day is fine, a number of hours, nope.
  9. Four Jump starts needed in nine months * * * UPDATE * * *

    I left my 24 in a hotel parking lot in northern ME last year for a week while on a snowmobile trip. No issue, no notices on the app. Started fine with the remote. Truck was buried as they had several storms while we were gone.
  10. AWD and tire replacement

    No reason to buy 4 with such low mileage. Though best to put the new tire on the rear. Remember, you are only in AWD as needed.. Cruising on the highway you are FWD only... I put an odd snowtire on my Escape with no issues for one season while I waited for my Mav to come in. Tread was...
  11. Why do we think Ford did away with Eruption Green?

    Actually the 24 blue is darker than the 23 blue. Really wanted the 23 blue as I like a bright vehicle (easier to find in parking lot), but settled for the 24 when I ordered it. 1st blue vehicle I have ever owned and I bought my 1st car in 1966. As I type, I am out in the garage polishing...
  12. Why do we think Ford did away with Eruption Green?

    1st car was 62 Falcon in high school. While commutkng to college, picked up a 62 SAAB with the 3 cyl 2 stroke. Got the strangest looks from gas station attedants back then when I would reach into the back seat for a can of oil and tell them to put it in the tank with 8 gal of gas. Almost...
  13. Why do we think Ford did away with Eruption Green?

    Forward of the door handles, it looks like the 60's US Falcon... I had a 69 SAAB with the German Ford V4, don't remember the size of the motor, but when you opened the hood the engine was so small all you could see was the ground. lol According to AI, that engine was a 1.5L. SAAB at the...
  14. got my mpg down to 28..

    Am not driving a hybrid, but try towing a decent size trailer and see where it goes. lol .... I drop down into the 13mpg (vs 28/29 without) range towing my snowmobile trailer. 91" high 91" wide and 13' long. When I bought it, I towed it home empty (from north central ME to central MA)...
  15. Another door lock dilemma.

    Normal/standard for most vehicles these days. Some if not all GM products do that as soon as you put it in drive.
  16. Why do we think Ford did away with Eruption Green?

    My mother bought the 1st year Maverick back in 1970. Was a darker blue and was a salesman's vehicle. Her 1st car. Parents had station wagons from 1957 on and the Mav was her car to get to work. My father was a Ford guy, never had anything else. His 1st was a model T... 1st I remember...
  17. Tire pressure sensor fault

    Be thankful they had the part. Went into a local Ford dealer on my Escape for the same with no extended Warranty. Had to go back, did not have the part. WTF... Did not have a damn sensor? Same... Well over a 100.00 for it as well. When the next one failed, went into my local tire dealer...
  18. New update to include cluster turn by turn navigation for Google Maps?

    will have to check that next time I use Waze. I have my phone up right next to the screen (right side with little box adapter) and when using Waze, the screen is full screen map and the phone shows me the turn by turn...
  19. My Totally Boring Two Year Report.

    Almost 12 months for me and almost 16,000 miles (will be 12 moths at the end of the month), waited 13 months for mine. No recalls and only one issue that we have to wait for some cold weather to see if they can find. Cold air leak, passenger side between the door and the dash. Enough so...
  20. Goodbye 19s. Hello 17" Fifteen52 + 245/65/17 Open Country AT3

    Have you noticed any discrepancy in your speed (car vs gps)? I went to 17's for my snows vs 18 that came with the truck. Tire dealer said that the speed would be off slightly. They said when showing 65 in the truck it would be 64.75 in actuality. Figured it was close enough, but that is...
