Not positive on the EB2.0, but the Hybrid is supposed to be Full Synthetic and not a Synthetic Blend. Given how tough the EB engines are on oil, and do have some dilution, I'd certainly want full synthetic oil and not a blend if mine had the EB Turbo engine. - What is with that Florida dealer...

KIA Homelink Dimming mirror, under $30 shipped & 30 minutes of time to tap wires in overhead. - Also wired my dashcam to the tapped overhead.

The standard 18" tire on the Lariat models are those Michelins. The XL/XLT 17" come with the Continentals, same model that came on my '12 Outback. - Nobody on the Outback forum was in love with the Continentals, they get louder, less compliant, and seem to get a little 'slick' as they wear in...

Ford is absolutely limiting the 12v to 80%, apparently on nearly all models to extend battery life. - It's a hot topic on the F150 forums also. Once 80% is reached, it may actually stop charging, until the low limit is hit, keeping between like 60-80 percent charge (capacity of battery as...

Would you mind passing along the sports in Forscan to change for the BMS system on the Maverick? - On the Hybrid, 80% of that tiny little battery with 45 minutes of reserve isn't ideal. It drops the voltage to the magic ~12.1 volt threshold for deep-sleep far too easy afterwards. My brother...

The BMS is wonky as all, that or the charging circuit is. Weds morning, no dash or lights getting in truck, drove to work...cold, so the engine ran a bit more than usual. Maybe 20 minutes after getting to work, Deep-Sleep, remote features disabled. Leave work to drive home, again no lights...

Mirror is definitely a true switched supply, following the directions posted by others and tested with a volt-meter to ensure it's truly power off. The same feed powers the dashcam. There is a 2nd non-switched power tap for just the remote on the mirror, which should only pull current when...

Probably all of us! - I've seen lots of spindles rust, it's just that the rust on those is a brighter orange than the usually darker brown or near black that isn't as noticeable. I think it's the alloy used to cast them just rusts with a really bright orange. Maybe they thought they'd be cute...

I have the Lux, CP360 & Assist, and mine didn't give a single notice from delivery on 04/29/23 until Labor Day weekend, after I'd been out bathing and detailing it for 3-4 hours. My hunch is the key (in my pocket) being in communication range kept the electronics 'alive' and pulled down the...

Mine appear level with no apparent high spots to rub against the paint or raised areas. I've checked them several times now, seem uniform all around. Might be worth applying the smallest bead of sealant into the gap to ensure so movement or vibration to induce scratching the paint. Overall...

Year old, and I'd almost be willing to bet somebody actually paid that $20k markup....it was in California after all, the land of the $6/gallon gas.

The Sliding/Locking Bed Rails were no longer part of the Lux option in '23. You needed to have the Lux option to add them, but they're NOT part of the Lux option in '23 as they were in '22. The dealer needed to add that option separately, as was the case with CP360, CP360 Assist, and the SIBL...

Wouldn't surprise me if the larger screen from the '24 Escape works in the Maverick, if you also swap the Sync controller, if they really want a larger screen. - Or if an aftermarket doesn't come along sooner than later. The new escape screen is just that much wider than the current screen...

I'm using a two-tone pull-over that matches the Lariat Desert Brown, but would love somebody to offer a similar color scheme on a stich on cover. - After having a cover on my Outback's wheel, the factory wheel in the Lariat-Lux while nice, just feels too narrow to my rather large hands. If...

It turns off for 6 months, it's in the manual. Dealer must have turned it off during PDI, and mine started a few weeks ago just under 6 months from delivery. Dug into the manual that day to turn it back off. Now if that blasted seatbelt status screen could be turned off. At least that one...

From memory, I'm 99.9% certain the tubing is 1/2 inch ID. I bought the elbows at Lowes, along with the plastic clamps.

If you think you want the fender flares, don't buy the Muslogy or Ford mud flaps, most of the flares don't fit with them. - The Mabett flares DO work with just about all of the fender flare kits. If the Ford style (Muslogy) are what you're looking at, and you're local, I have a set available...

Add an external oil cooler, that should add around 1/2 qt capacity to the system. I don't think using an FL400A will add 1/2 quart, we're taking a few ounces at best over the 910S filter. The other alternative, filter relocation kit, and put it up top, making it easier to access, which may...

Sadly, they're going to call it a total. To replace that portion of the uni-body framing requires pulling the entire vehicle a part, as the front portion everything welds to up front is claimed to be some sort of hardened steal, making it difficult to reattached in a repair. - Even given the...

Oddly, I don't find the seats overly hard or firm. Granted, I have a Lariat, and maybe, just maybe the cushions are different and it isn't only the coverings. They're firmer than my prior Outback's seat, however, those were most likely well 'worn' in, sort of like a 10-12 year old mattress or...
