With the stock battery, it only requires a slight manipulation of the panel to remove it. (Keep in mind that they thankfully didn't make it one big piece.) Installing over a larger H5 AGM does require a bit more dexterity or patience, however it really wasn't that difficult. I have better...

This may have been a result of the $6000 rule with the IRS. If you spend $6000 or more (was $10,000 years ago) in cash, or the equivalent of, they're required to report the transaction to the IRS. This serves as a way for the IRS to track possible unreported funds, as well as help...

If you get one of the kits that provides a 4-Pin trailer harness by wiring into the taillights, plugging your rack into that auxiliary connector will not set the truck into Tow mode, and deactivate BLIS. - Those kits come with connectors that go between the vehicle harness & taillights, so no...

Bought at 60, and turn 63 this week....my 1st truck, and my 1st Hybrid. Makes grabbing bags of mulch, 24' ladder (13' collapsed), and deck boards so much easier. - I bought a 5-6 foot bed extender to help. Great vehicle to commute to work, yet haul items when needed. Ford may have intended it...

If you're using a lift, go with the first diagram, which the tire-shop shows for FWD. I say this after driving a Subaru Outback for years, which was full-time AWD even at highway speeds.

If you want all-weather, in a 95k tire, that's smooth & quiet, Michelin Cross-Climate 2 tires. I suggested them to my buddy for their CX-5, and they love them. Super quite, comfortable ride, and carry the Sever Snow/Winter rating. - Note, they are directional tires, you cannot flip-flop side...

Back in 2021, having the additional features was most definitely worth the additional money, particularly if you had a pricing plan available, along with the price-protection or private offer when rolling to 2023. (Not to mention a couple of added features in 2023, such as the built in...

The bad crankshaft issue affects roughly 300 vehicles between all models using the 2.5 Hybrid. - That's not out of just Mavericks, that's 300 or so out from the Maverick, Escape, and Lincoln Corsair Hybrid & PHEV models. (Many thousands produced). It's a low percentage, and most will exhibit...

Issue with, you mean like this: Pulled it off mine yesterday. Have a Mabett spoiler coming from Vine by the weekend. On the positive side, adhesive was super sturdy, taking an hour to remove completely. No amount of trim dressing would bring it back to black, and I tried several.

That's really odd, as it isn't an issue with the 22-24 Lariats, or not that I know of. I added side markers, albeit not Mabett, but still used a harness from the eyebrow lights to run the running light portion (Flag in center & White Turn, which goes animated amber with the turn signal), and no...

But raising the seat should result in it tipping forward, due to the way the mechanism is setup. Lowering tilts it back, raising tilts it forward, or always has in most vehicles with a single height adjustment motor. There are kits from 'Desert Does it' with shim kits, and a few others that...

As long as the oil meets the Ford published WSS-M2C962-A1 spec, there shouldn't be any issues. That spec is for BOTH the Hybrid & EB engine family, and most oils on the market meet or exceed that spec. I reached out to Warren, who bottles quite a few oil brands, and they confirmed that...

I have mine mounted behind the right side of the mirror, just below the camera, and have no issues with it being read at toll plazas. - I highly doubt the windshield on the 25 is any different than that used in 23 for the Lariat models.

Fuel System Service shouldn't be required at 10k miles, even if this was the first service. The Hybrid uses full synthetic, which should be able to handle that mileage. Most vehicles can go that far, just read the oil tests on Bob is the Oil Guy. - Not sure I'd have gone that far on the...

Good write-up, however that's the B pillar, the A pillar is beside the windshield.

I'll 2nd the Invisible Glass cleaner. I had spots on mine at delivery that just didn't want to wipe off, and that stuff took them right off. Might as well hit the side glass as well, as I'd venture to say they have some, if the windshield is that bad. Glass sealer really does help prevent...

Nice to see a Hybrid with well over 100k miles! - I expected the brakes would quite a few miles, given much of the braking is regenerative, and nice to know that is the case.

I wonder if we can turn that on in some way using Forscan in the 22-24 models? That's actually pretty useful, as it would let the following vehicle know you're slowing when coasting to lights, stop signs, or down-hill grades where it prevents unwanted acceleration. Of course many don't even...

Just follow your neighbor to the gas station, pull up on the opposite side of the pump, when he's filling up.....then act shocked when his bill is $60, $70, or higher depending upon the price per gallon, while you're less than half that. I don't understand why so many 'commuters' need the...

There's actually not a huge markup from dealer invoice to msrp on the Maverick. Yes, the 2024 left-overs are going at a discount, as they may have been 'stuck' with them when the 'hold' for the camera hit as the 25s were showing up on the lots. I haven't seen huge discounts on 25 models. For...
