Mine was scheduled for delivery between 12/26/23 to 01/04/24 and arrived on 12/31 in northern CA.

There have been posts saying replacing the battery with a more powerful one has helped with these issues. The unanswered question is for how long? Many of the “bad” OEM batteries worked fine for 6-18 months before the problems showed up and it may be it took that long for them to degrade. And is...

Not uncommon at all. Firefox is my main browser and there are 3-4 sites that it doesn’t work with but do work with Chrome.

Did the memo you saw from Ford make any distinction of whether it applied only to UAW members or is that a wait and see when they pull the rebates?

Was unable to listen to the full stream. Was the UAW discount brought up?

Posting for general information. This is from the Ford Authority website. A $1,500 discount that can be applied through January 2, 2024 and you don’t have to be a member. Seems if it was true there would be much more promotion. Can’t find it on the Ford site. Anyone else heard of this...

Yes, my comments are limited to the ‘22 model year as that is the only one I drove. I don’t expect a vehicle in this price range to be perfect but I also don’t expect all these problems right away. There were no problems with the drivetrain or motor but I thought everything else was just going...

I would suggest considering a Ranger 2010 or older. Those are pretty much the same size as the Maverick. There is nothing fancy but they run forever and are dependable and easy to repair. As far as Mav longevity goes it’s still a guess. I had a ‘22 Hybrid and in the first month I told myself...

Thank you. Makes perfect sense.

All good information. Could you expand on above quote? Specifically why this is short lived? I’m at the point where I’m ready to accept the need for a trickle charger if it will solve most of these issues.

I think it might stop working when your vehicle goes into production. You can get the same info from this link: https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/

That is good to know as yours might be the definitive example of infrequent use with short trips. And I agree with you that the Ford Pass app is part of the problem. One of the reasons for this thread is to try and narrow down issues of the battery drain and short and infrequent use seems to...

I think your last sentence sums it up and I felt the same way. If you have a new truck and you don’t trust driving it out of town then it’s time to get rid of it. Doesn’t mater what type of vehicle it is. One thing to be aware of with the EB is parasitic battery drain which probably has...

I feel your pain. I purchased a 2022 XLT in December 2022. That was quickly followed by the onslaught of recalls as well as many other issues over the next six months that were not recall related. It was in the shop more time during that period than all my previous vehicles combined. I figured...

Thank you. That is a good point about battery type and I have added that to the question.

The more I read about the battery monitoring system (BMS) the more I learn and the more confused I get. One trend becoming more apparent is that a BMS equipped vehicle being driven infrequently (2-5 days a week for short distances) should be prepared to make regular use of a battery tender or...

Thanks very much for taking the time to post this. Glad to see that it’s an actual AGM.

I first purchased the ‘22 hybrid but it was at the dealership so often that I got rid of it and I now have a ‘24 EB scheduled to be built this year. I had so many recalls and other issues with the hybrid that 1) it wasn’t available for me to drive and 2) I didn’t trust it when it was. In...

Can you post what battery is included in your ‘24 model? Just wondering if they are using the same ones as in the previous years.

A 2024 XL base model will start right around $25K with destination charges. That is your basic FWD. The comparable 2023 will have some additions the ‘24 will not, like the external keypad which you can add on later for around $200. One reason to consider a 2024 is it may have some improvements...
