  1. Totally Bonehead Move

    The difference being that if people are towing the Maverick, they are (or at least, should be) following the directions in the owner's manual to engage a specific Neutral Tow mode, for both recreational/motorhome towing and emergency towing. I would really hope that people read the owners...
  2. What’s your EV coach “blue bar” length?

    I am not referring to coasting. You specifically said "remove all throttle input", not to modulate it or feather it, or to coast. So, sitting in your parking space, remove all throttle input. Tell me how long it takes you to reach your destination with no throttle input whatsoever. Bring...
  3. Monitoring Hybrid Battery State-Of-Charge

    Great, if you were replying to OP, then why quote me/reply to me? You seem to know how forums work, and yet.. Good to know that you're done.
  4. Monitoring Hybrid Battery State-Of-Charge

    I'm not moving the goalposts. The original quote was "I also wish there was a cheaper alternative just to get the battery info", and note that cheaper was the only thing specified. Nothing else. Not boot time, not charging, not mounting, nothing. All of these are moving the proverbial goalposts.
  5. What’s your EV coach “blue bar” length?

    Not unless you can coast from a stop to appropriate traffic speeds, which is after all why we use the accelerator pedal. I'm not saying that coasting is not situationally useful, but you specifically referred to removing all throttle input, and outside of limited situations, you won't get to...
  6. Monitoring Hybrid Battery State-Of-Charge

    You keep moving the goalposts here with irrelevant stuff like "if you're running it on your primary phone" which was not part of the discussion, but you somehow added. You added goalposts for mounts and similar, which would be the same for a ScanGauge as well. Also you have to know that the...
  7. Monitoring Hybrid Battery State-Of-Charge

    Let's not move the goal post. You may have said "dedicated", by the person I originally quoted only requested "a cheaper alternative". Old Android phones that have large screens are very common on the used market for cheap, maybe $100 will get you one, maybe even less. They don't need to be...
  8. What’s your EV coach “blue bar” length?

    I mean, yeah, you can, but at that point, the truck isn't moving with no throttle input, so it's not very useful as a vehicle.
  9. Monitoring Hybrid Battery State-Of-Charge

    A "cheaper alternative" has been provided in the solution of Torque Pro and an OBDII reader, which can display on your head unit as an Android Auto app, or on a phone.
  10. Answered: Question about co-pilot 360

    I don't see that anywhere in the description of the Lariat Luxury package for the Maverick. Where did you see that, exactly?
  11. Answered: Question about co-pilot 360

    ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) is not classified by Ford as a safety feature, but as a convenience feature, so in a sense you are getting all of the safety aids that Ford has released for the Maverick as you did choose to option the 360 package above the base features included on all trims...
  12. 📜 Updated Commodity Constraints List as of 1/23/23

    Can you change ordered trim with a dealer without swapping between gas and hybrid? To/from Lariat and XLT or XL?
  13. Two thirds of truck owners don't tow, one third truck owners don't haul

    It's no huge surprise that a large portion of truck owners do not use the full capabilities of their vehicles. It seems to me that far too many buy them as penile extensions. Personally, I plan to haul myself and a very heavy non-folding power wheelchair plus a bed lift system, maybe 400...
  14. Raspberry Pi computer inside our Mavericks

    Considering that there are already a few ways to get whatever we want up on the screen, I don't see a need for a Pi in the truck. Also, vehicle interiors get VERY hot, and Pi systems don't deal well with heat, since they already run hot.
  15. Another Maverick Customer Screwed by their Dealer

    OP, did you have a signed DORA for your order, and confirmation that your order was submitted for COVP? If so, it should specifically list the agreed upon price, and you should reach out to both Ford and the FTC with it!
  16. GM Is Considering A Baby EV Pickup Truck That Could Start Under $30,000

    Many years ago, I had a standard cab Ranger, and even with just me and either the dog or SO, there was really no good place to store stuff that needed to be kept out of the elements, at least not without some kind of bed topper. Even as a single person with a dog, a 2 door has significant cargo...
  17. Tailgate locking trouble

    At least the air in your bed is VERY secure right now! 😁 It's dealer time..
  18. Flat tire kit?? -- what's included to change out to the Spare Tire. Do I need to get a bottle jack???

    You'd have to ask Ford. I presume it's measured at whatever the lowest point is.
  19. Flat tire kit?? -- what's included to change out to the Spare Tire. Do I need to get a bottle jack???

    Since I don't have one here to measure, I have to take Ford's listed specifications. Thank you for your data point.
  20. Flat tire kit?? -- what's included to change out to the Spare Tire. Do I need to get a bottle jack???

    Unless I'm mistaken, the Maverick (at least with the hybrid powertrain) in stock form only has a ground clearance of 8.3 inches, which is just a wee bit too tight for that jack.
