You're wrong on the points 1 and 2 for two primary reasons, but I'll let you work it out. Point 3 is the last part of my response that you didn't quote but yes, there may be a potential mechanical disadvantage of Ford's particular cvt that isn't known to me, but other manufacturers have already...

Glad you gave up on the bespoke thing. That was silly. It's obviously an issue many are concerned about, and still more would be if informed. No, not ignoring a fuel economy argument. I'm a mechanical engineer. Direct and indirect considerations here, though the direct is nearly irrelevant...

There are many, probably most, possibly all Maverick owners and participants to this thread that want it not to fail an obvious traction test. That's the opposite of bespoke, my friend.

Very odd response. There is nothing bespoke about production software. You can advocate for that, but I didn't. I do advocate for powertrain software to be done right for all. The issues shown in the TFL video that prompted this thread seem reasonably obvious to test and know for a...

So you're comfortable with excuses. Got it.

They can and were paid to do it right the first time. Expect more, my friend. I bet you're OK with a cold hamburger.

I think this is a poor excuse. It doesn't cost more to tune the software to engage the brake on the spinning wheel. Suburu and others have proven this.

Congratulations on your new Lariat and I hope you enjoy it in good health! A comment on the insulation: In November I bought the insulators from Ford because they were not present on my '24 XLT EB AWD. I got the part numbers from a search on this forum. The insulators that arrived were...

Wow, what a rant! I love my Maverick, but I'm here for your rant, bro. A bit of hyperbole, but of course your underlying point is rooted in truth. There is nothing wrong with Maverick's AWD that earlier application of the brake on the slipping wheel would not solve. It's software.

I change my own oil, so it's no biggie to me. First change was at 1,500 miles. Second change was at 5,000 miles (3,500 later). That's where I'm at now, but I'll do every subsequent change at 5,000 intervals - super easy to remember. Can't hurt, might help. I also put in a Fumoto quick drain...

I'm using this one which seems similar to a lot of these. The short USB cable is perfect for placing it under the dash there with a little double stick tape. Works great, and it's out of sight and out of the way. It also leaves the USB-C port open to charge my phone or anyone else. I leave a...

Huh. Seems like an interesting lower cost option. I have the BAK X4s, and the functionality here looks basically the same. Regarding tri-fold vs. rollup, I have both on different trucks. There are some small pros/cons to each but I think the rollup is easier to use.

Very interesting. I knew that there were different seasonal blends but didn't know that drove a difference in energy density. 1.7% isn't the entire "winter" reason, but obviously adds to the many efficiency factors taking a hit during winter.

Likely true at the back axle/differential. Front axle likely has response differences. Whether it substantially changes the outcomes, unknown. EDIT: Should have added that, in short, this a programming problem. There is nothing in that video that couldn't be solved by an earlier engagement...

OK, yeah, I'm having a quasi-recollection of that - there was a price change that occurred in the middle of the 2022 ordering season. The result was as discussed above. If you had the initial Lariat price, then today's 2025 model is about 23% higher than that. If you had the latter 2022...

The quote was not mine, it is Ford's and many dealers still have active pages showing the 25,490 number. However, I noticed the 26,860 number you have on Motor Trend's 2022 page. Since your signature indicates you ordered in 2021 and received delivery in 2022, do you recall receiving a 1,370...

@SM2535 As I've been saying, I would love to see such an apples-to-apples comparison. Please redact your VIN and upload your 2022 Monroney - that would probably be clarifying. Thank you.

Yes, it was low which is of course the point. The numbers I've shown in spreadsheet were taken directly from Ford's configurator in 2022, but for corroboration I'm linking megadealer Bill Brown Ford's order page that is still active from 2022 showing 25,490 was the Lariat price at that time...

Your math here is confusing to me, and since I have been tracking XL, XLT and Lariat pricing since 2022, I'd love to see where I am wrong. I saw your similar post in another thread so I wanted to ask. Here is a fairly simple Lariat build comparison 2022 vs 2025 pricing? Can you show me an...

I did. Thanks for asking. I've been tracking XL, XLT and a Lariat pricing since 2022. Here are the results for an example Lariat build. Your thoughts, please.
