Oh I misunderstood. I thought you were suggesting that I not look at the Maverick at all, and instead look at something like a Sienna. But you meant something like a rental Sienna as a backup?

Right now, I don't have a vehicle per-se, just the occasional rental for short distances with a friend along to help wrangle my 50-something pound folding lithium backup chair. Right now, I live in a major city, and my power wheelchair is my main mode of transportation, supplemented by buses...

I have considered it, but I really like the Maverick's functionality. It's the first vehicle I've seen that's cheap, that's has a hybrid drivetrain, that can tow a small travel trailer, that can be adapted for a wheelchair lift and haul my chair, and that can haul me, all at the same time. I...

I have considered getting a foldable manual chair for emergency get around use, and I suppose I could manhandle something like that and my forearm crutches into a car, but it would be very taxing. Option two is one of those 30-something pound carbon fiber lithium powered foldable chairs. I had...

Damn ranger, always keepin' us away from those delicious pic-i-nic baskets filled with goodies..

Yes, it is a risk with any vehicle, but since only trucks or vans can be adapted in the way that I need, for example, I could not accept a loaner car.

I don't have my truck yet, but a friend mentioned this. My chair is a non-folding very heavy power wheelchair, that easily weighs more than 200 pounds. Once I get my truck, I will have a lift installed, or maybe some kind of ramp system with a winch. But let's say that the truck breaks down...

At least for the F-150 owners with this issue, they found that they needed to keep a short/low profile fuse puller in the fuse panel area (maybe secure with a piece of tape?), as the noise was incredibly distracting, and having to dig for a puller right then is the worst possible time. Also...

I think I've read of similar (though not exactly the same) audio issues on the F-150 forum for '21 and newer F-150's, though they have Sync 4, whereas we have Sync 3. It seems like for them, the problem was more or less isolated to a bad amplifier, but I don't know if they were physically bad...

I call that bait and switch, or worse. If I can't sell something that I don't actually have for sale, then why are they allowed to do that?

I've run into this as well, and it's extremely annoying. They're essentially offering vehicles that they have absolutely no intention of selling. It's bait and switch with a lame justification that makes no sense. I wish I knew how to filter these offers out. I can already kind of do that for...

An online friend of mine stumbled across it and emailed it to me, and it fits me very well, since I use a power wheelchair, and am also a lover of bears. It's made by an illustrator of children's books named Joel Tarling. He sells it online on various things, on a site similar to Etsy, called...

Nope, you're SOL now.

OP, you let your dealer stick their advertising on your truck? I'd make them leave that off unless they're willing to pay for that advertising.

You've missed the point. The point was that the capability of being mis-used exists in a device that most of us willingly carry everywhere we go, even if the originally intended scope was much more narrow, the technical capability exists. Same as it is in the truck. Four toggles on one screen...

Well first, the conversion involves a lot of body work. All new sheet metal and drivetrains, it's pretty involved. 🤣 Seriously though, big trucks are proverbially a dime a dozen. U-Haul rents them for ~$20 plus mileage as you need them, and there are other rental options. Owning a much...

I would doubt that it would be an actual official upgrade kit, but I'm sure that it would be available as a service part that you could add yourself, if you knew the exact part you were looking for, and if it was in stock, and if the software support was still there.

"Even if your truck is out of the recall dates, manually check/inspect the wiring harness integrity."

This is not a thread about rampant pointless paranoia. First, Ford is up front about the data they collect, and they expose settings to disable most categories. They also label and expose a single fuse for you to shut the system down completely. That seems pretty pro-consumer to me, even before...

Was your hybrid built on or before May 13th, 2022? If so, there's a recall on a wiring harness you need to get done. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/hybrid-harness-tsb-22-2340-no-crank-no-start-with-impacted-dates-mavericks-built-on-or-before-may-13-2022.21114/ Instead of...
