Notoriously reliable Toyota ships that part on their vehicles, and it reportedly has a 10+ year battery life, but I can't say I disagree with your decision! Go forward and prosper.

I snuck an order in on Amazon when it opened up momentarily on Nov 24th. Says it's delivering Dec 7 - 11. 79.99 + tax.

Oof. That would annoy me more. Doesn't the ECU store that fault?

Don't let that stand in the way. Like you, I require homelink - I'm not leaving a garage door opener on the visor forever. It's just a personal pet peeve thing for me. There are two good mirror replacements that include Homelink. One is a Toyota part number that is a very nice looking...

Though I love the ecoboost motor, I literally hate the stop/start as implemented on this motor. Waaaay too obtrusive in operation, and I cannot tolerate the shudder it creates in the driveline. Ridiculous. Everyone in the vehicle notices it. The implementation on the hybrid is better. I've...

That's a crazy low number for this area in Ohio, and below all regular grade pricing. Lowest for premium is presently 3.69 and average is around 3.90. Is it subsidized by your grocer or some other deal?

Right. There is a hysteresis to it, and it takes some miles to fully settle in. 100 sounds high. But "stick with it" has no scientific truth. You can cycle between 87 and 91/93 as much as you care to. In a modern engine there is no reliability or other benefit than the 10% performance...

From the Owners Manual: "Your vehicle operates on regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Some fuel stations, particularly those in high altitude areas, offer fuels posted as regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating below 87. The use of these fuels could...

The octane difference makes no difference in carbon build up. Shell's long running advertising of their branded premium "V-Power" grade made that claim, but the only truth in the claim came because Shell did not use their better detergent additives in their own lower grade gasolines, so the...

I just bought a month ago. My '24 was precisely 3,155 more expensive on MSRP basis than the same model in '22. However, I got a 2,200 discount from MSRP that was not possible in '22. Even so, Ford is raising prices dramatically again in 2025, up another 2,071 from '24 for my model comparably...

The octane sensing and processing is pretty advanced on the latest EB Fords and VW EA888's and other major manufacturers shipping a high volume of turbo 2.0's. You can quite safely run 87 (as recommended by Ford on your filler door, BTW) or 91 for a little more power - your choice and there is...

I'm liking the Wildpeak AT3W at the 235/65-17 size that came as an option on my XLT 4K AWD. Here's why: 1. they carry the "three peak" Severe Snow tire rating. The Pirelli's did not have the rating despite being a A/T tire. 2. I find them to be quiet for an A/T tire, nearly all-season level...

It's dumb for sure. However, the backup cameras were mandated into law as required safety feature in 2019, just as many safety features have been added slowly over decades. Ford, of course, knows this and implemented the cameras on all required models. What's dumb is that Ford didn't find it...

15-20% of MSRP, friend. The changes are not worth anywhere near 5K. The question is self evident.

Happy to have taken delivery at the end of October. In 1,500 miles so far, I have yet to see this issue and the camera has operated normally.

I don't know why OP is taking flak. Thanks OP. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise. Title sounds like a dig at Maverick, and it's actually a praise of Maverick. Clickbaity title from the author, but that's the nature of all news these days. They only make money if people click.

Lots of vehicles have such access holes in their aero covers, so I'm sure it's fine from a functional point of view. You'll have a dirtier undercarriage if you're OK with that. I've seen many vehicles including Ford Escapes where the aero covers are missing for one reason or another. I think...

Maverick options pricing has really gotten crazy now. Options were already relatively high as a % of base price, but the '25 options packaging is really expensive. My view is that the Maverick was primarily designed as a 20-25K truck and the materials, sound deadening, features and build...

Right. Everybody deals with different tax structures, so these OTD prices which can have other things going on within them aren't very helpful. Pure discount dollars from MSRP are more comparable.

@fordvideoguy , I'm a relatively new owner, new to the issue and this thread, but what seems odd to me is the production dates given as Feb 3, 2021 to November 28, 2023. Why would that affect Mavericks on the lot today, which were likely built in the last 12-16 weeks at Hermosillo? Seems like...
