  1. Bed cover research: drag / aerodynamics

    We don't have a good wing for the cab. The aero design one slopes upward and increases the frontal area which increases overall drag. The simple wing, as in the article, is a flat extension of the cab roof over the third brake light area. A few of the new trucks have this design. Silverado is...
  2. Maverick Van prototype shown to Ford dealers (for 2025?)

    I would be looking strongly at a "Mavan" for the primary family hauler. 6 seats for occupancy. 4 with a large, covered cargo space. Flat roof with roof rack support for the rare, but nonzero, times I need cargo space and passenger space. I would be able to commonize my spare parts and...
  3. Terrain: GM Marries Best Ever Base Interior with Worst Ever Powertrain!

    Probably not going to be an "affordable" price. Most likely they just made what used to be considered a "mid trim interior" the lowest level by simply not offering anything lower. Expect the price to match up more so with mid tiers from the past.
  4. Towing under 4K weight but over frontal surface area with a tall V nose trailer

    The slower you go, the less impact frontal area is going to have. In this situation you are going to have lighter weight with increased drag. So less of the trailer pushing you downhills to higher speeds and more of the trailer dragging you and holding you to lower speeds. Seems like a good...
  5. Is the XL base enough?

    OK. Proven incorrect about cruise control because that is closer to replacing than it is removing.
  6. The letter to All the Ford Maverick owners who have purchased Lasfit brake light/rear turn signal lights

    My red T3s hyper flashed (sometimes) before any recalls were done. Their behavior didn't change after the recalls. Doesn't bother me though. I know they are working.
  7. 2025 Maverick Hybrid AWD drivetrain details?

    I was thinking more for low speed off roading stuff where the instant torque would be appreciated. Battery would last a long while in that use case. Doing it this way allows for the Tremor AWD unit to be fed by instant torque, with minimal re-engineering.
  8. 2025 Maverick Hybrid AWD drivetrain details?

    Thats what I was curious about. How ready did Ford make this spot for a 2nd battery? Looks like that might have been considered early in development but discarded farther along the process. Curious to see if they have something planned that frees this space up later.
  9. Is the XL base enough?

    At this point a list of the XL standard features would be good to go through. Seeing what could be cut without having to design a replacement. Simply removing a feature and part would actually help speed up the assembly process and would skip the R&D. Removing cruise control is a good example...
  10. 2025 Maverick Hybrid AWD drivetrain details?

    They already have a spot for one without taking any usable space away. I am curious to see if the AWD used this space. Option for a second hybrid battery | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners, Discussions
  11. 2025 Maverick Hybrid AWD drivetrain details?

    I think that tried to make the AWD as close to the EB as possible. Maybe some of the Tremor stuff will find its way into the hybrid? That spot for a 2nd battery open still? Electric torque and AWD make for some great low speed off-roading options.
  12. New Ford Accessory: Maverick Front Fender Vent

    I bet the fender hole has something to do with quality checks on the assembly line. Hard to torque check those bolts otherwise. There is some air that finds its way over there so a vent would allow it to exit.
  13. 2.0L - Ecoboost downgraded to 238/HP ?

    Looks like the new engine has on oil catch above the valve cover and an integrated intake manifold.
  14. 2.0L - Ecoboost downgraded to 238/HP ?

    How does the 2.5L handle the 0.5mg/mi PM requirement? Do they test just the engine? Does it get a pass because it produces 0 when on electric? Is the Atkinson cycle that much more emissions friendly? How would the hybrid cope with regen? How does regen work with stop start?
  15. Maverick popularity is all about the money, boyz.

    That was their strategy back when they axed the compact Ranger. Didn't work out so well.
  16. 2.0L - Ecoboost downgraded to 238/HP ?

    Are these gas ones as prone to cracking like the diesel ones? Having a bit of an unhappy flashback from my TDI days.
  17. Lasfit Taillight LED Bulbs Review

    After much delay, I am finally posting my review on the Lasfit LEDs I recieved from winning the contest here: 🎉Love Your Ride, Love the Lights: Claim Your Free Turn Signal Enhancement Now! | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners, Discussions Kinda neat to have a...
  18. New Ford Accessory: Maverick Front Fender Vent

    Are these functional?
  19. Introducing the Upgraded Mabett Windshield Sun Shade for Ford Maverick! Enjoy Exclusive 25% Discount!

    I more than likely have this unit but from a different vendor as I got it over a year ago. The edges curl a bit over time and the stitching on the velcro has partially failed, but the heat reduction is astounding for the price. Took a bit to master folding it back up into circles.
  20. Sarah -n- Tuned Updates Her Maverick Tremor Review

    Anyone got part numbers for adding lumbar like she mentioned?
