  1. WeatherTech Alloy trifold hard tonneau cover: 5-Star down to ZERO

    I suggest looking elsewhere for something different. Having "security" held together (or not in my case!) by self stick foam tape isn't reassuring. I keep thousands of dollars of tools in my truck bed, and to know it's only foam tape as the security guard...not very reassuring!
  2. WeatherTech Alloy trifold hard tonneau cover: 5-Star down to ZERO

    When I got my WeatherTech Alloy trifold hard tonneau cover last October, I was pleased with its build quality and installation. ***** Then came the first rains, and it leaked pretty badly and it was apparent that the gaskets along the edges were insufficient to keep out the rain. There goes a...
  3. Selecting a Transport Company, don't make same mistake as I did!

    My empirical observation is there are a lot of "fly by night" auto transport cowboys. They have some beat to &^%$ crappy old RAM or similar 3500 pickup truck, a flimsy fifth wheel transport trailer, and they pick up business from these sites you experienced similar to the way an Uber driver...
  4. Buyer's remorse on FWD Hybrids?

    The values will be the values, and one reason why I lease. But your specific needs (AWD, 4K towing) are simply beyond the capabilities of the current Hybrid Maverick. While I used to live in Michigan, I now live in NC. Here, snow is rare, ice is rare, and AWD not a need for me, and not even a...
  5. Ford Maverick Is Almost The Perfect Truck, But One Part Of It Really Sucks

    I am OK with the seats. Have I had better seats? Of course. Have I had worse seats? You bet. I am not the kind of person who needs 500 watt quadraphonic power amplifiers and kick ass bass and speakers. But I do like a good sound system. I cannot find much to complain about with the standard Bang...
  6. Total loss of power on the interstate driving 80 mph.

    Do you actually think anyone there is listening? Here? Once they see so many people here fooling around with programming on Forscan they are TUNED OUT. All that being said that situation is one scary one, thank goodness the OP was able to get over the lanes to a safe space. Not certain I'd be...
  7. Dealer claim they put the standard spray in bed???

    You got taken for a ride down "bad actor" dealer lane. Forget the bedliner scam for one moment--they are lying and trying to cheat you. But all those other line items? What downright dishonest crooks. I'd tell them to take their damn Maverick and shove it up their a**. "First Place Finish"...
  8. Yes folks, there is HVAC to the rear seats. Big Thanks to FOSSIL 👍

    You are right but they are wrong. Not everyone wants or needs a Ranger sized or F150 sized truck. I do not. I would never get an F-series. I've driven them when necessary but they are way too big for daily use. I got the Maverick (and many others did too) BECAUSE of the size, and because it's a...
  9. Android Bluetooth phone

    See thread title Multiple Phone/Car Play/Nav Issues There’s a Ford TSB on the problem. Solved mine.
  10. CEO Jim Farley says Americans need to fall ‘back in love’ with smaller cars

    Another exactly! What makes anyone think we want 70 and $80,000 trucks?
  11. CEO Jim Farley says Americans need to fall ‘back in love’ with smaller cars

    Boy, do you ever have that correct! Ford is so stupid in that they forgot that the first year they came out with the first generation Ranger, which was a small truck at the time, they made 250,000 units. They continued to make that AND MORE every year for close to 30 years. They either totally...
  12. Rear brakes shot @ 50,000 miles

    Is this a complaint that at 50K miles, brake work is needed? Seriously? Just do what has to be done. If this were 5,000 miles I'd understand. All this pontificating about which brake hits first, regenerative vs actual, etc. seems moot. That's 50K miles. Change the pads, change the other parts...
  13. Detroit area dealers

    Pat Milliken Ford on Telegraph Road in Redford. One of the nations largest and best dealers… we have been with them for many years, even after we have moved to North Carolina. We still buy from them and they deliver the cars to us! You can’t beat that kind of service!
  14. Mpg info? 27 plus normal

    Don't know why a hybrid isn't an option for you unless you DO some serious off roading or towing, but I'll get anywhere from 25-60 MPG around town, and generally 38-40 on the highway consistently at 75 MPH. Hybrid Lariat. I'm only in NORMAL driving mode, I didn't see any difference in ECO so I...
  15. Apple Car play sounds worse than Bluetooth?

    My sound quality is fine...however I have a Lariat with B&O sound system AS DELIVERED. It's wonderful in any mode, no matter how you connect a phone, Sirius, radio, etc.
  16. Multiple Phone/Car Play/Nav Issues

    OK, @capecruiser and @Dmthomp32 it is TSB 24-2182 "SYNC3 3 - Various SYNC Symptoms" Among the issues I had and are covered in this TSB are black screen, lack of pairing, CarPlay not starting upon startup, loss of BT pairing, etc. Supersedes TSB 23-2307. You can look up the TSB online at Ford...
  17. Multiple Phone/Car Play/Nav Issues

    I'll find out. Do not have it on hand. As an FYI, only some of my problems were with bluetooth. Others were with CarPlay which is through USB
  18. Multiple Phone/Car Play/Nav Issues

    Crickets. For those experiencing similar problems--and there are some of you--note that there is a Ford TSB on the issue. The local dealer's concierge service came by yesterday AM, picked up the Maverick, dropped off an Escape loaner, took the Maverick back to the dealership, did the TSB...
  19. Multiple Phone/Car Play/Nav Issues

    OK, being a problem solver, I always learned that when you have a problem, always suspect the last thing you did. In my case there were multiple last things all at the same time. I just may have to do some kind of master reset but thought I'd throw these problems out there to see what comes...
  20. A mechanic’s opinion of our Mav.

    Clearly this mechanic stopped looking inside engine bays in 1968. He’s a clueless fool. He should be able to work on your 1965 Mustang, but I wouldn’t let him touch a maverick, nor would they give a shit about his opinions..
