I'll add that not only does it drive really well, and that's coming from a Subaru Outback, its much quicker than you'd expect from the typical Hybrid. - The Maverick isn't your stereotypical Prius of old, where they seem to not be able to get out of their own way, let alone your way. It takes...

My one small gripe, I wish the seat truly went up/down, and didn't tip or move forward when raising it. Even at 6' 2", I could sit higher in the truck, but the seat moves forward, which place me too close to the pedals for comfort, so I don't raise it as much as I could. (No sunroof, and have...

Many having the rattle, simply added a thin strip of foam tape, between the right side a-pillar and speaker cover. I used a strip of thick felt, rattle gone.

This is so subjective and speculative, given no two people drive under the same conditions. Some Hybrid owners struggle to get remotely close to the 40/33/37 rating, others, like myself, have commutes & driving conditions that heavily favor the Hybrid over EB. - I'd love to be driving a Tremor...

The change over from Regen to Normal Braking can occasionally be felt, usually more noticeable or common with the engine cold, or if it happens to be shutting down or starting up as you come to that final stop. - Otherwise quite smooth, depending upon driving style. It did take me some time to...

The passenger side on my '23 decides to stop working every 1-2 weeks, resetting the setting fixes it just fine. Anybody figure out why that needs to be done periodically? The only issue I've had with my '23 thus far. Figured somebody else may have had the issue, before I nag my brother if...

I exclusively only go to Wally world off peak hours, and park way out in the seldom used areas to avoid those dings & scratches. Actually, applies to most anywhere we go, which drives my wife crazy. She parks in the closest spot, which explains her car having several dings, and having to smack...

Driving in the exact same relaxed manner, I do find ECO still makes a difference. I coast to stops, gentle & slow with the pedals, nearly always 100 regenerative braking, and ECO still yields a couple mpg higher. It tends to limit running the ICE in steady state driving, especially above 40...

Occurs under one specific circumstance, and then only briefly. When the gas engine first starts when overnight cold, as you're coming to a stop, it will pulse/surge for maybe 30 seconds or until you get going the first time with it running, and then she won't do it again. - I can get to the...

It's tuned to pull from the traction (electric) motor first, provided the HVB has a charge, and then kicks on the ICE. It's the traction motor that provides torque from a stop or low engine rpms. - You basically have instant access to it's full 173 lbft of torque from the moment you touch the...

Seen, well heard, both ways. You can crack the windows at higher speeds without as much noise, provided they're low profile. I think glue on visors make more noise than in-channel, based on prior vehicles. Don't yet have them on the Maverick.

Acoustical glass, which Ford calls/labels 'Sound Shield' (that's what it indicates along the bottom) has become all the rage the past 8-10 years with MANY models from different manufacturers. Previously it was exclusive to luxury brands, such as Lexus, MB, and Acura for instance, and now...

They're pretty much ALL 35 PSI Cold/Before Driving, regardless of tire/rim size, with the exception of the temporary spare. I keep mine around 2 PSI higher to allow for cooler days, we've been from mid-upper 60s at night to 90 during the day, and pressures change 1 PSI for every 10 degree...

Could it be something in the truck, that's rubbing? - I've found that 9 out of 10 times I have rattle, squeak, or noise, it's something in the vehicle. Took half the dash apart in my Outback, trying to find this rattle or tap sound....it was the stupid EZPass, when the holder's sucking cups...

As a truck, it's a step back in time, to when an F-100 or early F-150 was similar in size. In reality, its nearly 9" LONGER than my 2002 GMC Envoy was, an inch or so narrower and lower. Ground clearance of 8.3 vs 8.5, with actually some of the height and more than the ground clearance...

While the Escape may go BEV, odds favor the Bronco Sport will have a gas option, and they share the same C2 platform. Probably safe to say that a gas/hybrid Maverick option will remain with the Bronco Sport. - The Bronco Sport may actually be outselling the Escape these days, the rough and...

Nice job! - Looks on par with what I've seen in the way of professional jobs, and darn close to the factory SIBL, at less than half the price. The thought occurred to try a DIY, and forgo the factory SIBL, but the thought of pulling off all the trim, sanding, taping, and hoping nothing landed...

I had the message about turning off remote services to conserve battery for the first time yesterday afternoon, and have some thoughts on why or believe I know why. She'd been parked since mid-late afternoon Friday, except for a VERY short drive, basically to the corner on Saturday afternoon...

I was hoping the Mabett units would utilize a two-piece design for the front wheel well, allowing the bumper to be pulled if necessary, without removing the front fender flares, as you never know. The only two-piece is the EGR, which I like, however, not sure how they'd look with stock tires...

Wonder if there's a difference with the hollow, double wall retracting covers? In theory, the air-gap between the outer surface and the inner surface might potentially keep some the heat from transferring below the cover. By no stretch of the imagination is it a test, but the few times on hot...
