I just set it to auto mode, and it usually runs the defrost function until I cycle the key forward. The reason I have always loved Fords is because after a couple of minutes warming up in our Wisconsin cold air, they produce heat. I had a Volkswagen that could idle for an hour and drive for 20...

When I had my Explorer, I never saw Mavericks on the road, but when I bought my Maverick, I see one almost every single day now (Not mine, like, others on the roadways)

Yeah. If you keep the windshield waxed and polished up, rain beads off and you rarely have to use the wipers. I have been doing it for years.

Where is the Windshield camera? I usually don't clear the wipers until the windshield is completely covered with snow or rain while driving (I don't high speed the wipers in a slight drizzle, I just drive faster so it beads off)

AdvanceTrac is so old, I think they invented it around the time they had the Explorer Sport Trac model. It is basically a combination system that used ABS sensors, output speed sensors, etc; to provide proper traction and handling. I usually get in my truck, start it up, hit the STOP START...

To be honest, I didn't really take delivery of my Maverick, I really bought a brand new Maverick that someone cancelled their order on after it was delivered to the dealership. So I got lucky with having only 19.2 miles on it. To be fair, it had 5 miles on it but I took it for a long test drive...

In the owners manual, it says YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT SET UP FOR PLOW OPERATION, so I would recommend not doing it. It will put a lot of stress on the transmission and drivetrain system, plus it will block the sensors in the front and could cause random braking because the computer thinks the plow...

I have noticed if you shift to park very quickly and shut the vehicle off immediately, it will automatically apply the parking brake because it thinks it isn't fully in PARK. I don't mind it though, because my truck never applies the parking brake every single time you put it in park, like all...

My 24 XLT EB has two 12V connection points at the lower point just next to the tailgate bottom area. Inside the ports are a prewired 12V quick connect point and an adapter for it should have come in your glovebox. But, if you don't see the 12V plug covers because of a liner, they might actually...

Has anyone had this happen: Used the bluetooth for audio and then connected Android Auto and when I played music, there was no sound output no matter volume level, disconnected cable and bluetooth worked fine

I just recently noticed that vibrating sound. I originally thought it may have been a build up of snow and ice on the prop shaft or one of the front CV axles, but it does actually come from the dashboard. I will probably never fix it, I just turn up the radio or roll the window down and give it...

Randomly, while driving alone on empty roadways, I have noticed the flashing red and loud beeping PRE COLLISION ASSIST warning pop up for no reason whatsoever. It turns down the radio and beeps loudly like as if I am about to hit something, but there is nothing in my path or around me. Anyone...

Last time I saw that, it was a bad rack and electric assist motor for the steering system, but that was on a 2012 Focus.

99 MPG, actually, 18.8 MPG, which isn't bad considering I have a heavy foot and idle my truck a lot

Is it weird that I can actually hear the BPV valve dumping boost into the intake in the stock form? I give it a little gas for some boost, let off the gas and can hear a slight whoosh in the intake

Hey all update time. Took it to the dealership and they hooked it up to the scan tool and said nothing was wrong it, and then said my paranoia was unnecessary. It has been driving fine ever since, no issues

Hey, that snow storm wasn't that bad when you think back to years ago in Wisconsin. My little 24 handled great in this storm and it did better than my Explorer used to.

I should also mention that it has only been about 30 degrees and 40 degrees here in Wisconsin this Winter with no snow since Halloween of 2023. I usually remote start it before leaving work and let it warm up before driving it home.

Hey all. While driving home this evening from work, I noticed the SERVICE ENGINE SOON dialogue pop up and the wrench icon appear. I clicked it away hoping it was a random fluke but soon noticed it was anything but. Usually whenever I drive, I have the windows rolled down, no matter what...

Just an update for everyone. I have had the truck for about 10 days now and I already have about 300 miles on it. There is not one single thing I dislike about the truck so far. I may have put the pedal down quite a bit already despite it being low miles still but I am averaging about 20 MPG...
