Bought a genuine Samsung usb-c to Usb-c and my problems just like yours went away for good. The USB-a just fits so loose, no wonder it cuts in and out.
Depends on your location. I have yet to walk into a horrible WalMart in the Kansas City Metro in 27 years. Some are better than others, Many of the others are older stores. My closest SuperCenter is 27 years old. There has been three remodels and refreshes over the years. Even the parking lot...
$3 factory door speakers probably don't need a lot of break-in
Use the driver focused mode and set the bass on -2 or 3. midrange on +2 and treble on +4. Then If your not happy, upgrade away.
So, to get a fully equipped Maverick you will need to order a 2022. Sounds like the first year with all the warts will be the most fully featured year.
A one day observation in the life of my Maverick Hybrid. The date was Saturday July 8th.
It was a rather cool day in the Metro KC area for being well into July. The Maverick was garaged. The Ave MPG for the currently half full tank was 40.4mpg.
Upon exiting the garage the ICE did not start...
My build date was March 9, 2022
As of now no notifications on Ford Pass App.
I guess I will check my laptop
Update: It arrived on my phone after I opened and closed the Ford Pass App
