If you use EV Coach and Economy mode you'll see it get even better.

We just took a short drive across town of 10.9 miles and the SOC before turning the vehicle on started at 89%. The drive took a total of 22 minutes and the SOC, when reaching home, was 96%. It was charging at 14.75V all the way home and when the Maverick was turned off it was at 12.62V. Had...

That was the point I was making is that Ford evidently set the vehicle to only provide the standard charge current when the battery SOC dropped below 80% and then when it reached 80% switched to trickle charging (around 1 amp). By changing the programming to tell it any time it is less than 100%...

If you get the vehicle set so that it charges at around 14.71V until the AGM battery reaches 100% charge, it will recharge from whatever state of discharge it is in until it reaches back up to 100% and the voltage with the vehicle off is around 12.75V. This is how Ford should have set them up...

I know it's a "thing" for some people, but what is the actual fascination with getting rid of chrome accents on a vehicle? I wouldn't want to hide chrome on any vehicle as it is there to add character to it.

Completely clear ones are legal in our state. Smoked ones are not.

Not sure why this original poster is having problems. Wondering out loud if it could it be related to being a 2025 model year? Our 2023 Lariat hybrid (Lux model) with auto climate control with the manual controls below the screen works extremely well. Or last passenger vehicle with actual...

No, the officer who wrote the ticket and the department would be covered under qualified immunity. Mistakes do happen.

The Tacoma license plate last two figures are clearly E4. Your license ends in F4. The system pulls your VIN from your registration. The parking enforcement misread the E as an F because of the black Toyota licence plate cover was obstructing the bottom of the E.

You misspelled our go to gas station. That probably confused A.I. The gas stations are spelled Maverik (there is no "c").

Hopefully they did a battery reset after fully charging the AGM. This will help but the solution was to set the maximum state of charge to 100% as Ford set it at the factory to only 85% because they were shipping the Maverick with FLA type batteries that are temperamental when potentially...

I thought this was going to be a thread discussing AMSOIL.

You're bumping the manual door lock on the driver's door when you open the door. That is why it is locking the driver's door and not the other three. I guarantee this is 100% the cause of what you were stating.

Who cares about calculating that figure. Since the engine in a hybrid is constantly starting and stopping, and we live in an area with very hot summers with 90-100+ days each year above 100F (we've already had a 97F day before the actual end of Winter on March 21) I consider our use being...

I like the video you posted. The bottom line is change the oil in a Maverick every 5,000 miles and simply ignore the dumb "sensor/timer" that Ford calls an "oil life monitor". That is, unless you don't care about the longevity of the engine.

If they used the same engineers to devise a system that supposedly tells an owner the remaining "life" of the oil as the "engineers" that designed the 12v battery charging (and rapid discharging), I'll stick to a regular oil change based upon mileage.

According to the 2023 hybrid Maverick's owner's manual it states that an oil change every 5,000 miles is needed if the vehicle is subjected to severe use which is defined further in the manual as extended periods of operation in extreme heat, or dry dusty areas. Also it includes if the vehicle...

You must have had something wrong with your 2500HD. Our 2015 double-cab Work Truck Edition has never had that poor of MPG. Not towing we get 20-22MPG on the highway. Towing a 10,000lb trailer at 70MPH we average 13-15MPG. We live in a rural area so definitely not too much truck. As far as...

Drive this out west on our freeways and you'll get eaten alive doing 45mph when the speed limit is 80mph. Get an actual truck to pull a trailer. We have a Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4x4 for that duty. A Maverick is a small hybrid car that plays a "truck" on TV.

Defi Definitely was able to do electric only on down hills despite the headwinds. We drive in ECO Mode and I run the EV Coach. My wife prefers the Economy view when she drives. I believe if there hadn't been a headwind on the way home we would have matched the MPG we saw on the trip to the...
