1. It took me about 2 months to get to a smoother takeoff. Now after 4 months I barely notice it. You could press the button to turn it off and then turn it back on after getting going, but that would be a royal pain. I do turn it off when inching forward to close the gap in a parking...

I have not driven a Tesla either, but I drive my hybrid in the Eco Mode with the L button on. The 'L' does not change any acceleration or cruising sensations, only gives lots of regenerative braking, If I disengage to cruise control or take my foot of the accelerator, the truck will slow...

Did you accidentally turn the auto brake hold feature on? Ken

199% agree with 'Onceforall'. I've had my Hybrid just over 2 months, 3500 km (2174 miles) No issues at all. Without looking at the dash, hybrid coach, i can't tell whether the ICE is running or not, no noise difference, perfectly smooth transition. No battery problems at all. And the...

Make lists of all items mentioned here, interior, exterior, truck bed area, bling. then think of how you will use the vehicle and your personal likes. For me, the bed is used primarily for shopping trips, but sometimes for dump runs, twice I've had brush piled (and secured) cab high. The...

Thanks, If I find a way, I'll post it, Computer stuff is not my strong suit/ Ken

Did you get an audible alarm on your phone or just a visual notification. I have an iPhone 12 and when I have set the alarm off, I just get the visual (red dot) in the app that there is a message. I haven't been able to find a setting to get an audible sound. I've looked in both the iPhone...

I will agree with GPSMan. Definitely leave traction control on. I would try Slippery Mode first, but experiment with other modes. I believe that the slippery mode was designed to improve traction and control in winter conditions, snow and ice covered roads, probably similar to a wet moss...

My XLT Hybrid with LuX AND cp360 came with the 'full' size spare, but it is not a matching tire or wheel to the 4 road wheels/tire. The 4 are 225/65R17 on alloy wheels. The spare is a 215/60R17 on a steel wheel. Compared to the 'donut' spare it is full size. About five years ago, I...

Yes, the XLT key still has to be used and turn on start/ready. The AC works great even without the the ICE running. Ken

I added the Vehicle Security System/ Perimeter Plus to my 23 XLT hybrid lux prior to taking delivery. Primarily because to the high number of vehicle thefts. The bonus was the included remote start feature with the key fob. It uses the original XLT 3 button key fob. Just press " Lock -...

I will ve going the "Krown" route. I picked up a 2011 Kia Soul to get by until the Maverick was delivered. I had to get the exhaust repaired on the Kia and the tech was very surprised at the condition of the underside, absolutely no rust (except the exhaust pipe). Even the bottom of the...

Part of the equation would be the time it takes to fill a rail going to your area. In my case, the salesman thinks mine must have filled the last spot and sent the rail car on its way to the Toronto area. I was told shipping was between 3-5 weeks, usually 3-4. I was following the Ford...

My first thoughts were to mount it on the tailgate just below the hybrid badge, but I like the idea of the dash. A 50yr old piece (white metal?), chrome plated might be better off inside. They are about 3 1/2" wide. I put the idea on indefinite hold when the cheapest on I could find...

Yes, I am still trying to figure a lot of stuff out, only had the truck for less than 48hrs. My salesman said to make notes, questions, especially about the electronics, technical stuff and we will go through them in about a week. He always makes time for a second part of the delivery process...

I had the dealer install the Perimeter Plus/Vehicle Security System on my 23 Maverick, primarily because of the high vehicle thefts in our area. The remote start with the original key fobs is a bonus. From reading the installation instructions and some Youtube videos, it is basically plug...

That's expensive. I'n only about 40 min away from you and just paid $136 cdn for "The Works" (oil and filter, top up all fluids, rotate tires, check all safety items, written report, condition and depth of tread on tires, measurement of remaining brake pad thickness) and that was on my 2011...

The trailer is a 'pop-up', travel height of 54" and width of 82", approximate frontal area of about 30 sq ft. so it is over the recommended frontal area. The dry weight of 1500lbs will probably stay withing the 2000lb trailer limit. For weekend trips within 100 miles, I would definitely...

My hybrid XLT was scheduled for week of 04/28, in production 04/26, built 04/28 and shipped on 04/29 a Saturday. At top of the tracker page says delivery to dealer is 05/23 - 05/29 and at the bottom is also estimates 05/20 - 06/02. The information appears to be updated every couple of days...

I was quoted $650 CDN plus the 13% tax by LineX in Barrie ON. I'll see what the deajer will charge to have it done before I take delivery. Ken
