  1. Lifts, Larger Tires, Adaptive Cruise Control

    Recalibration is possible with a $20 OBDII cable and a Windows laptop with Forscan. Takes about 2 minutes of driving down a road with lane markings on both sides. Stealership will charge a couple hundred.
  2. Article: My Name Is Sal Gusmano, and I Break Ford Vehicles for a Living (at Michigan Proving Grounds)

    Thanks, Sal. Might be on my 3rd set of CV axles in less than 30k soon. Dashboard rattles. Rear glass rattles. Built Ford Rough is a way of life.
  3. 30000 mile maintenance

    If you're doing it yourself, make sure you keep an eye on the transmission fluid temp. I believe it should be between 185-200 F before putting the drain plug back on.
  4. 2022 Maverick EcoBoost - 165,000 Mile Review

    Probably the RDU. I haven't seen any reports of the PTU failing.
  5. Transmission Failure Issues?

    I believe they're called torque-to-yield/stretch bolts. They create a predictable clamping force. Once they're stretched, they're no longer usable. I would assume that Ford wouldn't spec them if they didn't see the benefits from a performance/cost perspective. But I am not an engineer. 😁
  6. DIY Modem Replacement?

    I would first make sure you have a way to activate that modem for your specific vehicle. Which means that likely needs to be done by a Ford dealer. Which they may or may not do if you didn't buy the part from them.
  7. Experience with Maverick FX4 off road?

    I guess doing oil changes, transmission fluid changes, PTU fluid changes, RDU fluid changes, AND changing one of those felt panels (that I ripped off road) makes me not know anything about what's on the underside. 😉
  8. Experience with Maverick FX4 off road?

    What's beyond the engine skid plate? Yes, there's a plate on the evap canister, but that's it. Everything past that is felt.
  9. Experience with Maverick FX4 off road?

    Depends on how rutted the road is. Ground clearance would be your biggest potential issue. Unlike your Ranger, all the wiring and fuel line is not tucked up in the frame. They're only "protected" by felt.
  10. Rattle in the dash (a minor yet major annoyance)

    The windshield alignment pin issue sounded more like ticking. Got worse with lower temps. The rumble over rough roads sounds like plastic rubbing on plastic. For me, pulling the black driver side windshield defroster vent fixes it but the TSB has not.
  11. 2025 Maverick Owners - Windshield Tapping/Rattle?

    There are posts on here that have instructions. Might be easier to use Google to find them though.
  12. Will I lose Apple CarPlay without Premium Connectivity?

    I believe that's just the data plan via AT&T for the builtin navigation, streaming, hotspot, etc. Android Auto and Carplay are separate and you'll still have access.
  13. No real heat unless set to Hi

    Probably. Get Forscan for your phone or computer. There's some data in that for sure. Bottom of the first page here mentions it for an F-150. https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/TSB/EU/~WTSB23-2115/US/EN/~UEmployee/default.aspx?VIN=&vers
  14. Heads up: If you had your axles replaced, check if they used the "NZ" or "SZ" parts.

    Most dealers will order them from one of Ford's regional warehouses, then ship parts to you. I'd just go with whatever option ends up being cheaper, but make sure you compare after shipping...that varies a lot.
  15. Why does Ford want to buy my truck?

    1. To low-ball you on your trade. 2. To sell you another car - again. 3. To profit off of manufacturer incentives - again. 4. To profit off of selling you a loan/oil changes/etc.
  16. Rattle in the dash (a minor yet major annoyance)

    That would be great to see. Thank you.
  17. Rattle in the dash (a minor yet major annoyance)

    Pull on the black windshield defrost vent on the driver side. That stops it on mine. I've found no real fix for my 22, even with doing the TSB myself. Ford support is just gaslighting you. It's not the high pressure fuel pump they're alluding to.
  18. Bronco Sport has features Maverick could use!

    The Maverick business model is different: 1. Announce a 20k hybrid truck. Make very little of it. 2. Have high trim buyers subsidize the XLs. Keep the build quality of the Lariat, Tremor, and Lobo the same while providing tacked-on accessories to drive margin. 3. Hike prices for the 2025...
