  1. Installed USB CD Player in the Maverick

    Just a heads up. CD's remain popular with the classical music crowd, of which I am a proud member. While I could transfer my CDs to a flash drive, I'm afraid this would represent years of work which I do not have left. In addition, classical works are often 3-4 or more movements long and...
  2. Fuel Type??

    I have consistently used top tier 87 and have had no issues.
  3. How smooth is your electric to gas transition?

    I'm at 27000 miles on a 23. At first the hangover was imperceptible, but over time there is a little more of a bump.
  4. Mav Hybrid mileage

    I’ve got about 25,000 miles on my hybrid Mav using 87 gas. Most of my driving is on flat rural highways. I’m retired so generally try to drive at 55. I’ve found there’s a significant difference between winter and summer (in ND): 39 vs. 44. I recently drove to Butte MT and back driving the 75...
  5. Anyone get distorted sound through the center dash speaker on the B&O system?

    I don't know if this of any help, given that I have a '23 hybrid XLT with the standard sound system, but I have also had an on-again off-again issue with a low-pitched buzz showing up in the subwoofer. I'd take it in to the dealership only to have it working fine. The problem seems to be with...
  6. Electric A/C

    Ditto to the last post. I have a '23 Mav hybrid and this summer average temps have been in the 70's and 80's (ND). The AC comes on automatically but I have often been able to turn it off. That said, I am seeing little or no difference in mpg either way. Far more noticeable has been the...
  7. Milage and Downhill

    I use Costco 87 octane in my hybrid as the improvement in mileage doesn't justify the difference in cost. It is Top Tier for in Fargo, ND and I assume it is the same elsewhere. When a Costco is not available I look for a Top Tier station. I'm at 20k miles and have had no problems. My Mav...
  8. Any Hybrid owners regret not opting for AWD/Ecoboost

    Nope. My hybrid XLT just passed 20,000 miles after facing everything ND could throw at it: snow, ice, slippery mud, and gumbo (clay that, when wet, likes to wrap itself around the tires until the wheel wells fill) and pulled itself through it all. (Something my F-150 4X4 couldn't always do.)...
  9. Bass rumble from speakers

    Every once in a while when I start my '23 XLT hybrid I get a low rumble from the speakers instead of music. It persists while driving, even if I turn the audio and/or the truck off and on. Then, when I go to drive it later, everything is fine. Curiously, if I use my phone the car audio works...
  10. Need reassurance that my Hybrid is not going to be a money pit

    I'm not at 30,000 yet but over halfway there (15,500). Its a 2023 XLT HYBRID I have had since 11/1/23. I have had no problems with it at all.
  11. I am still new at this Hybrid stuff so, info would be greatly appreciated.

    Live in ND. Have found mpg drops noticeably as temp drops below freezing and even more as it nears zero. Waiting to see how it does in warmer weather, but this has been a surprisingly warm one and the mpg swings have been impressive!
  12. What's your Maverick mileage and ownership time?

    '23 hybrid XLT blue Took possession 11/1/23 13,684.8 miles Obviously love driving it. I listen to a lot of classical music and find the stock music system just great.
  13. Blown Around on Highway - Or Just Me?

    I drove F-150's from 1995 until taking possession of my hybrid XLT last November. I bought it with a soft tonneau cover. It has surprised me in how much it feels like my older pickups, including how side winds affect it (and we deal with LOTS of wind in ND). It certainly feels no worse and is...
  14. Calling all that are happy with little to no issues!

    '23 hybrid XLT owner. 10k. No issues. Goes thru everything--ice, snow, and gumbo--like it was a 4x4. Love my Maverick!
  15. Calling all late 2023 and 2024 Hybrid Owners...soliciting your thoughts

    My '23 hybrid would have been one of the last '23's built. I have had it since the beginning of November and am currently at 9300 miles. I live in ND, and I have not had any problems despite running it on ice, in snow, and thru mud. (Not by choice). Given the complaints I have read over time...
  16. Video: 2022 Maverick Hybrid 2 Year Review - Would I Do It Again?

    Thanks for the vid! Finally got my '23 XLT hybrid two months ago and just had the first oil change at 7500 miles. I love mine and it was reassuring that it it holds up as well as it does at 36,000 miles. Maybe it's because I'm 73, but I have always expected teething problems with new models...
  17. Engineering Explained: Do You Really Need AWD or Winter Tires? (summer/all-season/winter tires, and FWD/RWD/AWD)

    Um, no, it's either the Maverick's fault or climate change. And since most of ND thinks the latter doesn't exist, it must be the Maverick. But I love it anyway.
