  1. Puzu concerns

    I mounted the Puzu amp in the large void directly under the rotary gear selector. It is easy to access too, pop off the panel on the passenger side of the center console and take a peek in. I, again choosing the cheap & easy way out, used a Rockville SS8P powered sub. I think as a whole (Puzu +...
  2. Puzu concerns

    Funny, I was just thinking about the power concern driving into work this morning. In my ~3 months of use, I've counted 3 instances where the Puzu amp inexplicably powered off for about 5 seconds before returning to normal. The odd part is that this happens at low volume levels so maybe it could...
  3. Rank your favorite OEM wheels on a Maverick.

    Same here! I didn't get a wild deal, but the steelies had to go. I replaced the Bronco center cap with the Maverick standard black Ford and it almost blends in with all the XLTs.
  4. Front squeaks when braking and with no brake applied.

    I can't say I could ever feel anything that coincided with the noise. It's a quick squeak that happened every wheel revolution, up to about 45 MPH. If you feel a rumble or imbalance with it, it could be a CV axle. They seem to fail prematurely on Mavericks and Escapes.
  5. Front squeaks when braking and with no brake applied.

    My 2023 Lariat does this, and it is humidity dependent. However my 2024 XL doesn't. I went down a rabbit hole of troubleshooting just to find that it is, indeed, an usual brake squeak. When I was about to turn the rotors and replace the pads it stopped. I suspect there's an oversized metal...
  6. Blinky Blink

    I've noticed this behavior as well, at least with the PRNDL indicators. They seem to adjust brightness to ambient light a lot more noticeably than the screen and instrument backlighting. I think it's pretty neat how the brightness ramps up and down automatically.
  7. Got recalls done and now my Hybrid Mav is full of problems.

    Do you have the 23E07 Software calibration update, or 23E09 Reprogram powertrain control module? My 2023 Lariat Hybrid (built 12/22) has both of these listed with a "remedy not yet available" note. But I'm considering never getting it done even if available.
  8. Texas WTB Stock B&O Subwoofer assembly

    Oh man I guess I shouldn't have handed out my banking and identity information so easily. But yes, if anyone has one of these for cheap, I'm still interested.
  9. Good Ford Dealer Service in Houston TX?

    I've had all my various vehicle warranty work done there. They're nice enough to have shop managers test drive with you so they understand exactly what you're complaining about and how to replicate.
  10. Texas WTB Stock B&O Subwoofer assembly

    I still am. I've found I can order it from Ford for about $200 but I haven't done it yet.
  11. Texas Sold: WTB Stock B&O Subwoofer assembly

    As title says- I'm in search of a stock B&O subwoofer assembly, both enclosure and speaker. I've had no luck finding them on my normal go-to (eBay.) Hoping I can find one here!
  12. Question about upgrading audio and adding a subwoofer.

    To hush down the chimes to normal level, I set the gain/volume to all the door speakers to 25, default value seems to be 60 or 40. You can set it in the sound "channel" page where the sound delay and channel mute function is. (I was trying to config on an android phone so might be different on...
  13. My 93 Octane Experiment! 2.0L EcoBoost Maverick

    I know it is a completely different engine, but my 3.5 Ecoboost Explorer has the same low RPM 'lugging.' I've found a happy median of price and reduced low speed shutter by using E15 88 octane. Maybe it will be the same for the 2.0 because they both lack a dual port+direct injection system.
  14. Is the towing and sport modes just sound effects with simulated rocking back and forth?

    You can defeat the fake shifting by using L while in Sport or Tow/Haul. I hate the fake shifts as well.
  15. Ford Maverick Hybrid Engine Failure/Fire Update Recall Letter (Received 2/12/24)

    Kia/Hyundai did! I think the Check Engine light blinks when a launched rod is detected by the knock sensor. But seriously, I have a feeling the software component of this recall will be designed to disable the hybrid powertrain if the ICE unexpectedly stops. I hope I'm wrong because my favorite...
  16. Poll, Hybrid owners with NO problems

    That's pretty funny that the salesman was anticipating a constant pedal pressure jerky stop! And I agree it's all normal, even the CT200h we had exhibited the same braking but a little more aggressive. In my opinion it's like clutch engagement. You learn what to expect and adjust accordingly...
  17. Poll, Hybrid owners with NO problems

    Last week I noticed that my 2007 Escape Hybrid, 2017 Fusion Energi and 2023 Maverick Hybrid all had/have the same "grab" to the brakes when you're about to stop. So I guess my Maverick technically has "grabby" brakes. 🤷
  18. Trip to Keystone towing Mesa Ridge Travel Trailer: 2 states, 1,300 miles, 13.4 MPG

    I adjust the weight distribution spring bars to where you can only get them in place after using the tongue jack to lift the rear of the truck up about 3". Levels the rear much easier. I have Airlift 1000 helper springs on my Explorer. They don't do much for the leveling, but help immensely...
  19. Annular Solar Eclipse in TX!

    Was finishing up scrubbing road tar off the Escape when it happened! Anyone have any good pictures or cool moon shadows?
  20. Goofing Around — Atlas Blue

    The last photo on your first post is my favorite Maverick angle. Very cool, what do you shoot with?
