Leaving my Mav for a couple weeks and I bought a Battery Tender so as to hopefully avoid my Maverick going into a deep sleep. I often get the "remote feature disabled to conserve battery" message.
My question is this: my battery tender has a setting for LITHIUM (LiFePO4) or AGM/Standard...
I'm on tank 3 now and seeing about the same as you. First tank was the best because I wasn't using AC as much. I'm expecting around 43-44 for a couple more months, then a few months of 46-47 before winter kicks in.
We've had a couple complaint threads so let's hear some unexpected positive things that surprised you about your Mav. Not your general likes, but something that exceeded what you expected.
For me:
Excellent AC
Interior roominess despite small size
Quiet and smooth ride (this was probably my...
I have a question. Often a complaint will be posted about some sort of Maverick malfunction, and the "Ford Motor Company - Official Ford Account" user will chime in with something like "Will you please PM me your VIN and dealer information and I'll help you out"
My question is, is this...
Say my hybrid battery has a 40% charge and I leave it parked and off for an hour. What percentage of charge will remain when started back up? Or after a few hours? Or overnight? Or a weekend?
If I didn't need a truck I'd be looking hard at a Tesla Model 3, great incentives right now with the updated version coming soon. It could be cheaper than the CRV. Probably not helpful though as most people have made up their minds on EVs.
Yeah sometimes I have wondered why not a battery and motor with double the capacity. I'm guessing this motor/battery simply meets the price/performance targets Ford is aiming for. I just browsed around the internet what MPG other hybrids are getting and they seem to be in the same ballpark as...
Can you elaborate on what you mean about the weak hybrid battery? Is it weaker than other hybrid vehicles? My only comparison is my Sienna Hybrid which gets 10mpg less than my Mav.
I have a 2023 Toyota and the steering wheel sensor is the same, it's reset by actually moving the wheel left or right, not by pressure. Maybe other car makes implement it differently, but that's how Ford and Toyota implement it. I wouldn't call it rudimentary.
As for the pre-collision sensor...
Sorry you had to read all these negative posts, that must be really hard for you. Perhaps the mods could add a Trigger Warning tag on threads like this for those that can't handle any negative mentions.
