  1. 38,000 mile summary. BEWARE: ISSUES GALORE!

    wow! my ownership experience thankfully has been the exact opposite of yours. i got a '23 Lariet off the lot that came off the line in mid march of '23 and knock on wood zero issues so far after 2500 miles on her. i really hope you can get your different issues resolved soon.
  2. 2023 Maverick Receives a "Good" Rating in Updated Side IIHS Crash Test

    this phenomenon of newer late model vehicles being totaled out instead of repaired is a direct result of federal regulations & of lessons learned from the use of 'safety cages' and 'crumple zones' that absorb as much of the impact energy as possible. implemented by F1 and Nascar in an effort...
  3. 2023 Maverick Receives a "Good" Rating in Updated Side IIHS Crash Test

    so sorry for your loss and hope that there are no health issues from this collision, you can always get another truck right?
  4. cxyx73wrx Maverick through 68k miles

    great looking truck! i REALLY love the fog lamps and wish Ford would offer them. are there already wiring connections available or power and how hard was the fitment ?
  5. Some questions regarding the Hybrid vs Ecoboost

    Hi Mike and welcome to the community, proud '23 Lariat Hybrid owner here. got it in late April of '23, around 2500mi on it so far. i hope you do get your Mav soon and love it as much as i love mine. long story short, if the Ecoboost if 4x4 AWD is important enough to you go with that. otherwise...
  6. Battery Level (hybrids)

    thanks for you explanation. Wifey just gets in it and drives and her MPG isnt that much worse than what i get in ECO mode. i'm beginning to wonder if i too should just get in and drive the darn thing and let the MPG chase go?
  7. Battery Level (hybrids)

    you're very welcome. i have wasted a lot of time trying to understand some of Ford's design decisions vis-a-vi which instrumentation displays they chose to include and which various vehicle status info they believe deserves the drivers attention. right now i'm semi obsessed with the 'power...
  8. Ohio Roll Call

    for those who own a Ecoboost Mav there is no issue, this surcharge only applies to hybrids or full electrics as far as i know. i purchased my '23 lariat in late April of 23 and there was no extra charge for transferring the old plates or registering the new truck....however after digging into...
  9. Battery Level (hybrids)

    the short answer is that without aftermarket monitoring equipment you dont. the closest you will get with the built in instrumentation is as displayed by the dash monitor display which u can see when selected to EV Coach mode. here you will see a light blue box that indicates both how much...
  10. How concerned are you with the possible UAW strike?

    at most plants thats exactly how it works. once it leaves the assembly line and is given the 'okay to ship' designation UAW workers drive the vehicles to a staging area where they are loaded onto trains and or car carriers for transport. some go directly to the dealers while others(mainly the...
  11. How concerned are you with the possible UAW strike?

    i hate to be the bearer of bad news (depending on your point of view) but CSX transports vehicles from the assembly plant to a sorting/final delivery facility only. i hope yours get delivered B4 the current contract expires . usually UAW employees load or stage the vehicles for loading onto the...
  12. Possible UAW Strike in September

    but... MANY components needed to build both Mavericks & Bronco's come from UAW represented facilities and in this era of 'just in time delivery' logistics the effects of a Ford strike will not take long to affect production in Mexico and Canada as well.
  13. How concerned are you with the possible UAW strike?

    those who wish to 'break' the UAW are the same kind of people who think that big business actually cares about their hourly employees. i've often wondered why theres so much resistance to the idea that people who carry a lunch box to work get their fair share of the profits that they help...
  14. My one year and 21k miles later review

    nice review, its not for me to judge anybody but do you usually put >20000 miles p/yr on your vehicles?
  15. First Oil Change Experience

    100% agree that waay too many people dont even give lip service to basic maint and then want to blame the manufacturer when something goes wrong. as someone with experience in the dealership and aftermarket service shops business i am familiar with this phenomenon. this "doing everything in...
  16. First Oil Change Experience

    love your truck. since they no longer offer Alto blue this is my new color choice. the hood deflector and window vents are just what i'd like to put on my Mav :)
  17. Thinking about put on some reflective tape for added visibility at night….

    not something i had considered but i dont see anything wrong with a 'better safe than sorry' approach, especially one as simple as this. i can see where these could be helpful, i will probably add these to my rig as well.
  18. First Oil Change Experience

    a good mechanic that you can trust is indeed golden. if you find one you would do well to hang on to them.
  19. Initial oil change and tire balancing

    i honestly dont know if it was motorcraft 0w20 full synthetic or a synthetic blend or not, i was told that it was a synthetic blend. i have been getting mine and all my families Ford vehicles serviced at this dealership for many yrs now and didnt question my service advisers advice as to which...
  20. OIL CHANGE PRICE

    100% agree!! i too am at that point in my life where i would rather just wander around the dealership checking out the new iron or just hanging out for usually a hour or less rather then deal with the whole do it myself thing, to wit: jacking the truck up or driving it up onto ramp stands...
