Maybe I'll try it the next cold morning and see what turns one. For some reason I thought the seats & climate control did along with the steering wheel, but that was back in April, and the memory is a bit fuzzy. - I'm pretty sure the seats did, as I seem to recall they were warm when we...

GPSMan, any chance you can track if locking the truck in different manners affects how long the draw lasts? I've noticed that when using the lock button on the inside of the door before closing, I don't receive any power saving messages. I only seem to receive the deep sleep or power saver...

When picking up mine, I remote started with the key fob and as I recall mirrors, steering wheel, and heat all activated on the remote start. Starting via the button only turns on the mirrors, and I don't see an option to control what does and doesn't turn on when cold. Probably a 'safety'...

There is an aftermarket defroster grid available for the rear window, if we end up feeling we need them. - Custom fit for the Maverick. Outfit is FrostFighter.com. That said, supposedly treating the glass with sealant prevents ice/snow/front from sticking the glass. I've been hitting mine...

When performing your own oil changes, buy your oil at Walmart and not Autozone, Advanced Auto, etc. Then order a Motorcraft filter on Amazon when they're in the $5.xx range, or a 2-Pack for around $11.00. - Total cost of the oil change is under $30. Any rebates or coupons will of course lower...

The ActiveX is pretty good, and doesn't get super hot & sticky in the sun. We had mid to high 90s a couple of times with humidity, and they didn't seem ungodly hot or sticky. They seem very supple feeling to me, and actually nicer than the leather seats in the Outback Limited I had previously...

Maybe we should post our battery info from the label, and see if those having the issues are from the same batch of batteries? I've seen intermittent sleep & conservation messages since Labor Day weekend, with no rhyme or reason. Sometimes its after I've actually driven more, other times when...

Here's a thought, could how fast the power-off drain occurs be related to how the truck is locked? - Pressing 'Lock' on the door before closing, touching the handle, or using the remote. My suspicion is that different locking methods affect how long the electronics remain powered on, and the...

Just filled up this morning, for I *think* the 4th time. Hand calc at the pump was just over 49 mpg (641 miles/13.058 gallons). Dash was showing 50.9, the most deviation since buying the truck, most likely due to the weather being a lot cooler the past couple of weeks. (We dipped into the...

You mean other than occasional power conservation or deep-sleep mode? Otherwise, it's been great, just with those occasional messages in the Ford App. (And of course that turns off the proximity sensor on the passenger door, and the dash doesn't light up when getting into the vehicle until you...

Has anyone else noticed the message in the Ford app has changed? - Instead of 'deep sleep' the random message may now state that the vehicle has gone into battery conservation mode, nothing is wrong, to turn remote features back on drive your vehicle, blah, blah, blah, rather than state Deep...

If the Hybrid was offered in AWD form, I'd have most likely added that feature, but based my purchase on lower cost of ownership & fuel costs. My brother, a Ford Master-Tech 4x over (Engine, Trans, Diesel, and EV/Hybrid) strait out told me long haul the Hybrid will have fewer problems, and...

I'm missing something here, the doors on my Maverick shut with very little force or pressure, I literally push them shut with 1-2 fingers, and the fully close and latch, without having to use excess force, or slam them. They just swing closed and latch as expected. The one exception is the...

Starting to have same messages, possibly need a longer drive than work commute on my '23 Lariat. Going to charge and test the battery, since it occurs more on cooler days. - Luckily, I have both a charger & tester. My gut tells me it's the battery, as the power ports show over 14v when powered on.

Lariats come with Michelins not Continentals thank GOD! Try pressing the talk key and say 'AM 560', substituting the 560 with a local station number in your area. Does that tune in a channel? - If so, just store it as a pre-set. (BTW the present list scrolls left/right, which isn't obvious...

Around $150 a year more than my '12 Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited was to insure, and roughly $90 higher than my wife's '18 Crosstrek Limited, on a yearly basis. Keep in mind those are two of the more inexpensive vehicles to insure, even with the Intermediate performance rating on the Outback...

I believe all the currently available flares use tape on the outer edge to secure them, whether the extremely expensive Air-Design, the EGR, or the Mabett. - They utilize the factor pins or a fender pinch clamp at the wheel well, and adhesive along the outer most edges to adhere to the body. If...

Not recommended, you risk overheating the fuel pump. That said, supposedly the gauge is calibrated for something like 13.8 gallons, but the tank is actually closer to 16.5 gallons. They REALLY don't want you to run them dry.

Really? - Many of us, myself included are easily hitting 600-700 miles per tank. I'm usually filling up at around 610-630 miles and don't think I've put in more than 12 gallons at any of those fills. I don't like running it much below 1/4 tank, although have only filled it I believe 3 times...

Consensus on Project Farm & BITOG is its pretty good oil, at a price point well below M1, Pennzoil, and most other big name brands. I've used in prior vehicles and never had an issue. Truth be told, my wife's Crosstrek (0W20) wounds better with the SuperTech than the Quaker State oil, with a...
