  1. Paint scratches too easily, very disappointed EDIT: it wasnt a scratch, but paint from the broom that cleaned off

    This may come as a shock to some, but Ford, Toyota, Honda, etc are not in the paint business. They do not manufacture paint. Most automotive paint comes from PPG, Axalta, etc. So sure you may see some differences in application quality from each auto maker, but the white Ford paint is the same...
  2. Engine temperature up and down

    How's your coolant level?
  3. LED Turn Signal Switchbacks

    Did they put the lasfit canbus switchbacks in there? If so, this sounds dumb, but flip the bulb around in the socket
  4. Is there a benefit to using higher octane gas in the hybrid?

    You are wasting money. The octane number has nothing to do with the energy density of the fuel. It has to do with the fuels resistance to detonation in the engine. Most fuel is 10% ethanol(E10). Ethanol does have a lower energy density than gasoline, so buying ethanol free fuel will provide a...
  5. Hybrid Rough Idle (Video)

    No expert here, but seems to be some sort of engine control/software issue since it drives fine. Hopefully it doesn't cause any excessive wear before it's fixed. I am curious if anyone has tried to start it with all climate control completely off and see if it does this and smells bad. Like...
  6. Is this noise normal/acceptable?

    Sounds like normal fuel injectors to me
  7. 1" Level Kit on Hybrid Maverick

    How much does an f150 cost? That's why
  8. 15k ADM Markup 🤑

    The difference is that a car dealer is the ONLY place a consumer can purchase a brand new car. They have a Monopoly on new car sales due to years of lobbying the govt. For it to be priced anything other than MSRP is absolutely BS and unfair to the consumers. I have no problem with a customer...
  9. Is this considered a dealer markup?

    Sure, if you go and add every single accessory possible on the website technically you can get to 29k.... This isn't the case here
  10. Is this considered a dealer markup?

    Hard to tell when the Mavericks aren't on the lot yet, but I can confirm a maverick XL does not cost 29K lol
  11. How to remove scratches from the plastic trims around the bed?(Update:With instruction how to replace the trim - See end of page5)

    I haven't read through all 3 pages so excuse me if this has been said already. They make spray in bedliner material in aerosol cans. You may grab a can or 2 and tape off the bodywork and spray the liner over the plastic. I've heard of people doing this. May look good, may look awful I'm not...
  12. Can low trailer wind resistance increase towing weight?

    If you're asking if you have a low frontal area trailer can you exceed towing capacity, like tow 2500lbs instead of 2000, then I would say the answer is no. There's more to the equation than wind resistance. Transmission temperature, oil temperature/engine temperature are all increased when...
  13. RESOLVED - $2,500 Markup Red McCombs San Antonio

    Awesome work everyone. Let's bookmark this feed and keep posting when other shady dealers do this and help each other out. Nothing wrong with a little crowd sourcing to go up against the big bad dealers
  14. Upgrading XLT lights to factory Lariat lights?

    I know the lariat headlights had an additional wire in the harness to power the DRLs
  15. Upgrading XLT lights to factory Lariat lights?

    The LED headlight units for the maverick cost over $1000 from Ford just a heads up
  16. RESOLVED - $2,500 Markup Red McCombs San Antonio

    Scumbag dealer. I know this means nothing now, but I actually stopped at that exact dealership to look at a maverick on the lot that was already sold and obviously I got swarmed by salesman. I asked the salesman if I ordered one from you guys would you mark it up? He assured me it would not...
  17. 3 year Maintenance plan $299

    Just think, if the dealer is offering it, then there's no way you will come out ahead on that lol. But if you're not someone who does their own maintenance then you may consider 299 a deal. I would agree with you that the dealer will probably use conventional oil. I would never allow...
  18. When are you doing your first Hybrid oil change?

    Probably 8000 to 10000 miles with light, low duty driving. Modern full synthetic oil is amazing stuff. All the junkies changing oil at 500 to 2k miles are just wasting money. Yes I know oil and filters are cheap but it's still a waste. Interval will be more like 5k if I'm towing it hauling...
  19. Rostra cruise control installed on Maverick XL - my review

    Absolutely nothing, unless said warrenty work was an issue stemming directly from this cruise control module
