I like it where it is! Tired of cookie cutter sameness! But thatās on my truckletā¦Happy to see others having fun and experimenting! Every now and then they give me something new to yearn forā¦
24 XL coming in on 40k later this week. Mostly highway⦠No major issues to report other than a couple of Sync reboots and some weird interaction w Carplay. I decided I would rather just use my phone for GPS and a USB stick for music. Awesome Liāl Trucklet!
After hand washing the Maverick I use a Spray-On wax from Turtle Wax. I follow the directions and spray it on all the surfaces except glassā¦while the trucky is still wet . A couple of soft rags and about 20 minutes later it looks really nice. The best part is that the black plastic surfaces...
The drive from my house to my sons is 540 miles on mostly highway. Central VA to Northern CT. I usually drive about 25 miles, fill the tank and go. Iāve done the whole ride at least 5 times on one tank. There are usually a couple of stops to hit the restroom and take a short walkā¦but no gas...
Yes, I had Waze running both times. But it wasnāt running/connected through the Mav. It was a full-on panic moment, so I wasnāt looking at the phone, but both of us agreed it wasnāt Siriās voice. Nor did it sound like the Waze voice. And it didnāt seem to come from the phone, which was...
Never heard this oneā¦wonder if anyone else has heard this. Happened twice now.
Driving down the Mass Pike and some
Ma$$ho1e decided to break the laws of physics and place his Jeep into my present physical space. I hit the brakes hard, the Mav took a little bounce left, and then squatted down...
Perfect timing as Iām starting to notice some brake fade on my almost 40k miles Mav. Iām on one of my longish trips so Iāll get this done later in the summer.
Thanks for the helpful post!

Sorta off topicā¦but related. From a design standpoint adding an external charger to a hybrid isnāt that difficult. The question is whether enough could be sold for them to make enough $$ on it. The largest cost would not be the design or the parts, but the productizationā¦
So itās possible...
Yupā¦Iāll be sure to tell them how super convenient the Auto-Freeze feature is. šµāš«. I think the de-humidify idea is probably correctā¦I just wish it didnāt crank up the fan so muchā¦.
You are not aloneā¦mine does the same thing. Not on Auto, usually on a run longer than an hour or so. It just cranks up the AC. There are lots of theories, but the dealer canāt figure it out, and Iāve learned to live with it. I usually hit the defrost button to redirect it so it doesnāt blow...
The Ford soft cover flops around more than I like while on the highway. It looks like Iām going to have a hole where it rubs the frame while bouncing around. I put some thick tape on it to slow the wear. The latches are starting to stick while closing and they sometimes donāt pull tight...
A couple of tanks of gas! After month #1 I already had over 2500 miles on it! When I had some āhomeā time I added the hood protector and window visors..

There may be an issue with the USB cable. When I first bought the Mav, Apple CarPlay ran horrible. Based on suggestions from this forum I put a new shorter cable in that was an Apple product and most of the issues cleared up. Waze speed readouts still suck.
Might be worth a shotā¦
Just changed mine @ 32k miles. Didnāt lose anything. 8k miles since last change.
Sometimes oil use is noticed the first couple of changes as the motor breaks inā¦. But, it doesnāt seem like there are many oil use complaints on this site.
