Quick update...
I ran the Maverick with the new COWBOY EDITION Badges through the automatic car wash. One with those big roller brushes running down both sides of the truck and a blow dryer at the end of the wash that is like wash from a jet plane.
All went well and the badges stayed in. So...
Well, growing up in the 1950's only 4 miles from Ford World Headquarters in Michigan, I just wanted to be a COWBOY..
Here almost 70 years later I now own a 25 acre cattle ranch in the OLD WEST just 10 miles outside of Witicha, Kansas where legends like Wyatt Erp once roamed. My Herd of 8...

Find another dealer.. the Blind spot sensor is behind the plastic bumper cover just below the tail lights.. The plastic bumper can be removed with about 20 hex head screws.. both 7mm and 8 mm.. there are 2 that you have to remove the tail lights to get to.. 2 in the rear fender wells

Well, the solution is to complain and wait for the FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION TO RULE if it is FRAUD and they can order FORD to resolve it.
I personally 20 years ago spent a lot of time on K street in Washington DC and there are plenty of lawyers that make all kinds of money over such stuff as...
It says "PROPRIETARY" one woul dargue not for public release and further dated such that post the date Forde releasted it internally, they FAILED to update their ADVERTISING..
What little you know about my application. need a wifi hot spot for very specific applications that if using a cellphone, inhibits my cell phone from receiving phone calls and other such functions.. I need a dedicated internet connection and use VPN, port forwarding and tunneling. I also have to...
I suspect the factory modem receives signals from the roof top antenna. As a 58 year licensed Amateur Radio operator, manufacturers will duplex (combine signals) to different devices to make factory devices work better with the antenna at the highest point outside of the vehicle..

And it is is on the window sticker under equipment INCLUDED AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. and in a Blue Box on the right side of the of the sticker Headlined "FORDPASS CONNECT" that describes all of it's functions in detail..

Did you buy a 2024 Ford Maverick and it was advertised with a wi-fi hotspot as part of the FORD-PASS(tm) CONNECT on the window sticker?? Claiming 10 devices could be connected to it via AT&T networks.
Then spend hours trying to get it turned on with Ford support on the phone.. Only to take it...
I think you're concerns are unfounded. The computer will track and keep the temperature under control in all situations. I know Mercedes had an issue when in 2014 they came out with C Class cars that would shut down at traffic lights and like in NYC they would shut down and restart when...
You asked for suggestions... I'm not fond of black wheels.. Personally I would of ordered a set of Cragers S/S's being old school. But Crager S/S's new are $450+ each!!!
Anyhow.. the closest Tire store to me is "DISCOUNT TIRE" and I went over to there website. (I also went to TireRack).... I...
Since I live alone in rural Kansas only 2000 feet from an AT&T tower. if my truck isn't in my driveway, I'm not home.. So a wi-fi hot spot in my truck would suffice for internet at my house.. and $20 AT&T-FORD beats anything I can get home based.. Even AT&T 5Gbps DSL..at $45 a month...
Besides...

Then elsewhere on the sticker it says:
DownLoad the Fordpass (TM) app* and you can:

I considered a XL over the XLT in 2023, as there was little for the extra money. The biggest reason for the extra bucks was the mag wheels over the utility vehicle commercial steel wheels. The "factory" mags on the XLT must of been picked out by a goth teenage girl.
My Modus Operendi was to...
NO Conflict.. The federal Trade Commission has been enforcing laws that RESTRICT the dealers from forcing consumers to use them for repairs, maintenance or after market accessories.
These go back to the 1950's.. My Father could site chapter and verse.. Dealers cannot demand you bring the car...
I WAS looking at the 2023's but dealers were arrogant son's-a-8itches. They wanted $10,000 above MSRP and they $1200 docking fee.. I keep hearing there is a dealer who will order for $50 over factory invoice...
Anyone know who this unicorn is?
