"New chips" don't really effect hybrid mileage. New internal embedded software ("Firmware") for engine control and for motor control can indeed affect mileage favorably.

I'm in San Jose CA. We drove south 15 min to Morgan Hill on 8/18 to view 'dealer trainer' Mav. My Jan & I were both allowed to sit in it for fair amount of time. Reservation/order placed. :-) Bill

Last time I checked, it was a good idea to change timing chains on Ford V8s (4.6L or 5L) around 125K just-in-case though I am sure many went well above 200K OK. Does anyone know if the 2.5L hybrid engine is "noninterference"? (i.e. no risk of piston ever touching valves? Bill

How long (for normal driving conditions) do you go before you need a timing chain replacement? Bill Wiese San Jose CA

Big Kahuna... Found this... "Asked about materials, Ford spokeswoman Hannah Ooms confirmed the Maverick’s hood was aluminum. She indicated other parts were aluminum, but didn’t identify them. “Maverick uses mostly steel throughout its frame and body, with the hood and various parts and...

Update - while my Mav XL order/reservation was placed Friday afternoon 8/20 by dealer (who deleted my mud flaps option because it would slow down build, it was not until this morning dealer relayed this: From: Ford Program Headquarters <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 23...

Rlbrumbelow, I have asked my dealer 'orderer' to let me know if any options cause delays. I'd not want to hold up truck just for $100 flaps. And my recall is the bedliner-related delay issue was for the HARD insertable bedliner - not the spray-on. Bill Wiese San Jose CA

Hi Mav team, This truck is for my GF.... replacing her 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We sat in the 'staff training demo' XLT Mav shown at Morgan Hill Ford Store on Wed morning and were pleased with seating comfort, interior design, build 'tightness' and paint quality. {We couldn't test drive...

Bill, What's involved in installing Rostra cruise in a platform somewhat similar to Maverick? (Bronco, Escape?) Does it just involve a 'little box' connecting thru the diagnostic port? How hard is it to add the control stalk to the steering column - or just uses adhesive? Or does this involve...

Various partial quotes I've seen lead me to question whether the whole eCVT tranny is covered by the 8yr hybrid subsystem warranty. Is in fact the whole Maverick eCVT covered under 8yr hybrid warranty? RKIs, please clarify.

While Mav XL specs are fine I may want to put new rims on it (it's for the GF) to replace steelies. OEM tires will be fine. What are the proper specs for Mav XL rims? (17", width? offset? etc.) Is there an 'equivalent' or 'proxy' vehicle I can use to search/shop Thanks Bill W San Jose CA
