  1. Audio testing… favorite testing music?

    Hi M Gang! Fun one for Y’all… Just curious what music everyone likes to test & and adjust their audio setups with? I have a few noise generators and capture programs, but for me there a few songs that help me set things up to my liking. My favorite is Taxman by the Beatles. Nice clear...
  2. Adding D-Ring to my XL (Cheap!)

    Thanks! Others here have done this…I just added the cheap and easy parts list. I hope it works great for everyone else!
  3. Adding D-Ring to my XL (Cheap!)

    Hello All! I just added a pair of D-Rings to the bed of my XL, because the XL does not come with them I've learned. I first looked at the FORD part numbers and did a search for prices. It was easily over $50 for Ford parts. I did the whole thing for about $22. I bought the D-rings from...
  4. Rear Speaker Swap on an XL

    Hello All! Since way back when I put a pair of Jensen 6x9’s in the back of my ā€˜72 Camaro I’ve preferred having the tunes hit me in the back of the head. The Mav’s door speakers are kinda Ok (probably going to swap them next), but the rear speakers could be a lot better. I have the XL…so no...
  5. 2.0 EcoBoost engine -- overall feedback?

    I’m going to jump back to the OP’s initial question, as I own both an EB Maverick and a 6 cylinder Dodge…same as the OP. The Dodge does win the race off the line, but I have never been squeezed at an entrance ramp w the Mav. I am truly amazed at the performance of this little motor, both in...
  6. Who has the highest odometer miles on their Maverick.

    18k miles on my 7 month old EB. No problems at all! I’m usually good for about 25k per year so fingers crossed and knocking on wood and saying all my prayers…
  7. Fuel Type??

    An interesting topicā€¦šŸ„“ To answer the OP’s question, I do LOTS of highway driving and usually use 87 unless I’m towing or working it hard somehow. I tried the higher octane on a couple of trips and gas mileage didn’t change and my buttometer didn’t register a change… I do try to stay away from...
  8. MPG WOW - EB

    The tank was not full when I started this leg. I hit the reset button as I was leaving. I did the calculation using the fill mileage. I will agree that the 36.2 is probably optimistic…but it’s quite a jump from when I do the same trip loaded up. I just did a shorter trip today of about 320...
  9. MPG WOW - EB

    This was the return trip. I got 33.2 on the way up north. I was carrying a light load in the bed…maybe 200lbs.
  10. MPG WOW - EB

    I just filled up this morning and did the math. 35.8 mpg I usually get in the mid 34’s on this exact trip, but usually have a passenger and some stuff in the bed. Zero weight this trip…and mostly driving over flat land except for the bit over the PA Poconos. Traffic moved nicely all the way...
  11. MPG WOW - EB

    I have a Ford hitch, but no ā€œtow package ā€œ. I have a light trailer that I tow my old motorcycle on occasionally. This trip did not include pulling anything. Just me and a big batch of great music played a little loud! Which means the wife stayed home…
  12. MPG WOW - EB

    Hello All, Received my new XL EB in early February, and just turned over 17K…lots of highway miles. This last trip blew me away…check the pic. 36.2 mpg without really trying too hard. No passengers and very lightly loaded. Tires @ 35PSI cold. Rt 84 in CT to 81 down to central VA.
  13. Ford Pass Bed Cover

    I went with the Ford soft folding cover and I REALLY REGRET IT! Although stuff in the bed stays pretty dry, the wind buffets the thing like crazy. I tried double sided tape and Velcro, but once the sun hits it for a bit the glue softens and now I have a sticky mess. It’s really easy to take...
  14. I Hate the Stupid Dial Shifter: Now With Poll

    My 2 cents… Electronic shifting isn’t going away…sooo…we will all need to get cozy with it. But I will say that Ford already had a better way (in my opinion…). My 2020 Lincoln MKZ had buttons up on the dash…easily reachable and in line of site w the road. No accidental bumps, no looking down...
  15. Removed window visors

    Hmmm… I love mine! I do lots of highway driving and it seems like it’s always in the morning when the sun hits the side and partially blinds me. I used to carry old postcards to shove in the window. But no more! Absolutely no blocking of mirrors…and I am 5’8ā€. I forget the brand but I used...
  16. Gas MPG stays from 31.4 to 31.6

    My new in February XL now has about 14,500 trouble free miles on it. So…I spend some serious time in it! With around 80% highway (just a guess) I’m at 32.4 mpg. I tried a few tanks on mid and premium with no difference, so it’s mostly on the cheap stuff. Others see a bump up w the good...
  17. Does Rotary Shifter suck?

    It’s not a big issue either way w me. I did really like the dasn located push button shifter on my 2020 Lincoln MKZ. It was easy to see and press while still having an ā€œeyes upā€ view. The rotary sometimes is hard to see in bright sunlight.
  18. AC/Heat fan randomly changes speed

    I might be repeating here…but happens to me with Auto set on…or when in Eco mode…or when I stop and Auto Start/Stop kicks in. If I disable all that stuff it works very predictably.
  19. Removing dealership decal without paint damage?

    Heat it up with a hair dryer and go easy with a fingernail or plastic scraper…
