  1. 15.2v charging seems a bit high while driving

    Mine will last more than two weeks before doing into deep-sleep and that is what this feature is for, and I consider that ok. Yours lasting only one week seems a bit short. I have a 40 mile commute, and that is likely helpful here. If you drive only short trips before you park it for a week...
  2. 15.2v charging seems a bit high while driving

    It seems to me like you may have actually, definitely, figured this out. My one question really is this and it is completely out of ignorance - could you, in ForScan, change the battery type to flooded? Also in reply to @uga : So far, so good I'd say! In ForScan I did toggle the battery...
  3. 15.2v charging seems a bit high while driving

    Good afternoon, fellow San Diegan! I saw that someone quoted my older post about this issue yesterday, so I had just updated it with my experience 6,000 miles after installing that AGM battery. In a nutshell: The random deep sleep troubles are completely gone since installing that AGM battery...
  4. A tonneau that is worth investing in for 2024 XLT Hybrid?

    I installed the all aluminum Lomax Stance two years ago. It is truly well-built. Highly recommended.
  5. When to do 1st first oil change? 2024 XLT Hybrid

    The engine oil filter grabs particles from the engine oil sized down to roughly 30 micron, while missing smaller particles which are simply passing through the filter media. Some of these stay suspended in the oil and some will fall out of suspension somewhere. Especially during the first...
  6. When to do 1st first oil change? 2024 XLT Hybrid

    To remove most of the break-in particles from the engine oil circulation circuit I would recommend changing the factory oil after 1,000-2,000 miles, which is when the main break-in has already happened. I did my hybrid at 1,600 miles. I stick to a roughly 6,500 mile interval thereafter. I don't...
  7. Outside mounted rear dash cam

    Run cabling from front to back under the door trim (remove the bottom trim panels in both door openings, and pull away the B-pillar panel). You'll have pretty good access for routing a cable. I went the same route for my brake controller wiring. At the bottom of the back wall of the cabin there...
  8. Mileage on the 18" stock Michelins?

    On a Hybrid Lariat: 48k miles on the stock 225/60-R18 Michelins, they'll likely make it to about 65k. Mostly freeway miles. I intend to put on Yokohama GEOLANDAR® A/T G015 tires next. I'd like a bit more bite on campgrounds and dirt roads, and these Geolandars seem to be very good if I can...
  9. Hybrid +12V Battery Replacement

    I recently replaced my OEM battery with a proper Group 140R AGM battery (is a drop-in replacement). Voltages are now back to what I consider more "normal", the battery charges at around 14.6-14.8V, and then after a few minutes (sometimes mere seconds) the BMS lowers onboard voltage to 13.0V...
  10. Remote features disabled on ford pass to preserve battery

    Check this thread: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/15-2v-charging-seems-a-bit-high-while-driving.43755/ I replaced my OEM battery with a proper AGM battery and this seems to have resolved this issue. Time will tell, but I'm fairly sure already based on the voltages that I see.
  11. 15.2v charging seems a bit high while driving

    Just spotted the same exact battery as that UPlus, but now with a different brand name. Ships from the same seller too: MARXON Group 140R H4 LN1 Start and Stop Car Battery 12v 50AH 570CCA AGM BCI140R Maintenance Free Automotive Replacement Batteries https://a.co/d/i3N9F0J Edit: now seems sold...
  12. 15.2v charging seems a bit high while driving

    In these forums I did not find a single "GROUP TYPE" for the proper battery in the Maverick Hybrid. Various owners put an H5 type battery in their Hybrid, but had to cut off two tabs that keep the battery in place. I didn't like that idea as I feel the battery should be safely held in case of...
  13. 15.2v charging seems a bit high while driving

    I am not making that assumption: I measured at the battery terminals and compared it to the reading of my in-dash voltage meter in the DC plug. The difference between both readings never exceeded 0.1V, so my dash voltage meter reading equals battery terminal voltage. And to me this makes sense...
  14. 15.2v charging seems a bit high while driving

    The stock battery in the Hybrid is a flooded cell battery, NOT an AGM, even though the settings in the vehicle are supposedly for an AGM battery. Note that comparable Toyota planetary gear hybrids all come standard with AGM batteries. Word is that Ford has been unable to source enough AGM...
  15. I've never had brake pads last this long

    Regen braking on the Maverick Hybrid is fairly aggressive, and if you drive somewhat conservatively (mostly freeway commuting to work) meaning I may NEVER have to replace brakes for the life of the vehicle. I had a Prius Gen III with 270k miles (bought it new) and only replaced the front pads...
  16. Hybrids: What tire did you switch to, and do you like it?

    Has anyone installed Yokohama GEOLANDAR® A/T G015 tires on their Hybrid? I'm curious how these would do on the Maverick as I am tempted to get them. I'd like a bit more traction on campgrounds and dirt roads, especially when towing, and these Geolandars seem to be very good if I can believe...
  17. Is the towing and sport modes just sound effects with simulated rocking back and forth?

    Appreciate your excellent comments on here, HTH! My two cents: The fake shifts in Tow/Haul do eliminate the constant "drone" that all vehicles with these eCVTs exhibit when accelerating (relatively slowly due to the trailer) up to highway speed at a constant ICE rpm. I find these fake shifts...
  18. Best Hard Bedcovers?

    I have this LoMax Stance hard cover: https://www.agricover.com/lomax-stance-hard-cover/ It is a sturdy fully aluminum hard bed cover that you can put up vertically, with the cover panels well supported with metal bars to the cabin top. It is built so well, I can easily imagine it outlasting...
  19. Hybrid Towing trip report & MPG stats

    Hello neighbor, Our camp trailer is a Jayco Jay Feather Micro 12SRK, and it comes standard with electric trailer brakes on the axle. It weighs about 1,600lbs dry, but I built out the kitchen a bit, remodeled the interior somewhat, and with stores and everything loaded it should weigh around...
  20. Hybrid Towing trip report & MPG stats

    Similar experience here: I average the same 20mpg on the hybrid Maverick towing our little camper trailer, which is about 2,000 lbs fully loaded. The hybrid actually tows much better than expected. I keep it in tow/haul mode, and it feels fairly quick accelerating from a stop (seems quicker...
