It looks like both Hybrid and 2.0 are chains. I would have stayed away if it was in any way the same as the 1.0 EcoBoost. I'm working on a 2018 Ford Focus with a 1.0 3-cyl Turbo engine, and I have to say, if I had known how crappy those engines are, I would have never gotten it. It runs a Wet...
I just took a trip to transport a vehicle with my trailer, and I'm happy to say the towing capabilities of my Maverick are excellent. I may have been slightly over the 4k Towing weight, but the Truck handled it flawlessly. And the 20 MPG was sweet too.
Here are some pics.
I believe there's a Ford recall about the brake issue.

I have the same issue driving the Florida back roads. When the sun hits the pines along the road the shadows and light lines confuse the heck out of the lane-keeping system and it turns off.
Yep, but what quality or type of oil were you getting for that price? I bet it was not full synthetic high-quality oil. If you plan on keeping your car for a long while, I wouldn't trust that cheap oil change.
I've been doing oil changes with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic and their filter for several years. I did the first oil change on my Mav, and it was straightforward. I like to use the bundles sold by Advance, but everyone has those nowadays.
The owner's manual says that for severe conditions, which is the majority of driving in the US. The oil change is at 5k. The trans is 30k, and the spark plugs are at 60k. Just FYI.
I have a feeling the dealer I got mine from what trying to do the same thing. But I hounded them up until the day it arrived at the dealer and I did not waste any time going there to pick it up. The process was horrible when I got there and I have to say I will never buy from them again!!
My experience was not good with the dealer. It was like pulling teeth. I wondered if they really wanted to make the sale or not. Picking it up was not an easy process either.
I removed the shield on my FX4 during the first oil change and stored it. I will use it only when I go offroading. I feel better airflow overall is much better.
