Engine cover, I guess I'm old (or ancient ) school. I've never had a vehicle with an under the hood engine cover, the big shiny hood works for me. For tie down straps etc, a visit to your local Princess Auto store will give you many,many choices. I've got about 8 ratchet straps, some...

Hi from just east of you. (New Tecumseth Tottenham/Alliston area). Yes take it back to the dealer, if ordered with the vehicle or as a dealer installed accessory it is under the 3yr/60000km warranty. It does come down to the techs ability and skills. I would go with the dealer first and...

Just my thoughts, if when the Ford techs are doing these updates are the 12v batteries being charged by an external or a power supply from the Ford tech equipment. Is it possible the voltage is getting low and playing havoc with the electronics in the truck, especially with the hybrid. If...

Or shop around on line at different Ford accessory dealers, Ebay etc. Could be a lot cheaper even for the Ford part. It is a simple one or two bolt installation. I don't think its as necessary now that the tailgate opening latch locks. power with all the other doors on Lariat XLT and...

I've read on other posts here and just went out to the truck to confirm. When inserting the key, it has to be pointed upward at about a 15 degree angle, goes in easy, but if pointed level, it will not go in. Ken

Have you tried a Home Depot type hardware store. Home Depot stores and even our local corner hardware store, in my area, Ontario Canada, have laser key cutting machines. All they needed was a matching blank blade and an original blade to copy from. The machine 'scans' the original blade and...

When we had the motor home, the tow bar was in the receiver 12 months a year. I coated the draw bar with a silver anti seize paste (I forget the proper name at the moment). I would take it out once a year and clean it). Never had a problem in 15 years. Ken edit add Anti seize

If you google 'CTV news for auto thefts in Canada there are probably 100s if responses. In Toronto alone there were more than a 1000 vehicle thefts in January alone. As the previous video shows, Another home security video show a vehicle stopping, 2 people getting out, one heading to the...

If I remember correctly, the installation instructions said to use the included nylon tied from diagonally opposite corners of the module to solid points. That is how the dealer had mine mounted when I took delivery. It does take 20-30 seconds for the system to arm. I do have the optional...

Exactly what I did 3 days ago. There was a similar suggestion posted on here a while ago, Amazon.ca. Ken

I won't comment on liability, insurance etc. But on the Dealership Customer Service Relations. (or lack of), At the very least, they should have called the customer, advised him of the accident, and have a meeting with the service manager and possibly general manager as well. Then...

When you fill your tank, are you stopping at the first click shut off or adding more (2 or 3 clicks)? I leave it at the first shut off, drive home. Dash gauge reads full and have checked the Ford pass app and it sometimes shows 105% full. The distance to empty does vary with several factors...

I agree with Doosenberry. I was thinking that it resembles the grabby brakes on a regular braking system first thing in the morning in damp or rainy weather when your rotors were wet or a slight rust coating. We would always ride the brakes for a bit to clean and dry them. With the...

Change the Alto Blue to Cyber Orange and add the Hard rollup tonneau and you have the description of my23. My odometer reads 9900km. Ken

If I remember correctly, there is a grommet under the plastic trim compartment, under the back seat. It has an extra "pigtail' for additional wiring. There is also the 12v accessory wiring at the back of the bed. Ken

Yes, from Ford Accessories, the Hard Rollup cover sits flush with the side rails of the truck. It's also quite secure when closed, each of the rails are locked to the sides of the box rails. Ken

Yes. Canadian 9000km (5600 miles) Zero issues. Fuel economy 5.0 litres per 100 km (47 miles per US gallon) or if I want to brag 56 miles per imperial gallon. A few in my age group remember how we used to measure it up in the north. Ken

I would be concerned that the Maverick would not stay in the neutral tow mode or that the parking brake would come on. Either when the battery was disconnected or after a time frame. One way to partially check would be to chock the wheels on the Maverick, put it in neutral tow mode and...

Yes, look at your service contract. What are the intervals, 12 month/10000 miles ? Or 6 month/5000 miles or ?? The dealer will change the oil+, but who pays is question. If your contract says 10000 miles or by oil life monitor, you will probably have to pay, if the contract is for 5000...

A few variables in the shipping process. Mine was built on Apr 29 and shipped on Apr 30. The salesman figured that mine was the last truck to fill the rail car for our rail destination in Ontario. Then routing and making up trains for various destination in the US and Canada. After...
