  1. Eco mode question.

    I believe it reprograms the throttle, so it delivers a little less gas at any given position sort of like between rain and regular drive mode I think is how it feels AND when you let off the gas, regen braking is noticeably slightly more. Not shutting off cylinders ever.
  2. Vehicle category for Maverick = PLUCK

    Maybe Ford should have named it, F-5.0 just to get people to think it has a V-8
  3. The simple thing that Ford forgot

    Everyone drives at least 5 over now days so just go with the flow. 30 in a 25 50 in a 45, although 70 in a 65 is questionable but there is 80 on there so that's good. Ford got the real ones (like people drive) marked ok.
  4. Front License Plate or No Front License Plate?

    It is required in CA and dealer did it before I could pick it up. I would have put it on anyway because it is just one more reason the police or highway patrol can use to pull you over. It looks like it belongs there when mounted.
  5. Hybrid average MPG in Normal, ECO, & Slippery modes

    Saturday going to San Jose from Oroville and Sunday coming home. Mostly Freeway and often 70mph or more and sometimes 60mph on two lane roads (1/3 of trip). There was a high wind advisory out for northern CA so some areas had very high winds and I could feel it in the truck. This was my...
  6. Slack in the left tailgate cable

    I decided just to live with it and hope that someday there will be a set available from Ford or anyone else at a reasonable price. So far, the tilt down of the tailgate when open and one looser cable than the other has had no impact on my life or the restricted my use of my truck. I'll take the...
  7. When did you order yours?

    OP should have put Hybrid in heading. ordered white XLT with hitch Sept 8th got hybrid Dec 15th = 97 days
  8. I may have found a design problem

    It is not a design problem as the Maverick release is like so many cars that have been made for lots of years. Maybe on days you know it is windy, you grab the door handle with you left hand and then reach over with your right and pull the door release lever. Then you will have total control...
  9. Week Old and Dead in the Garage this Morning [Hybrid Maverick in deep sleep mode].

    Wow, I have a long way to go. I'm still under a pound with no issues with my Hybrid.
  10. Probably the only truck that would fit in garage

    I have a 1963 built home with the standard 2 car garage. I have had 2 cars and 4 motorcycles in it with the door closed. Now I have a Prius and the Maverick and 3 motorcycles and the door can still close. Before my truck arrived I had measured out my space and parked the bikes and Prius...
  11. Best way to sell current car once Maverick is here?

    Carvana offered the most on my 2016 Chevy Volt. So I sold it to them 60 days before I got my Maverick Hybrid.
  12. Hybrid noise when “started”

    If an electric motor is not running, there is no noise. Startup sequence should be consistent with sounds. Just get used to it and if it remains the same don't lose any sleep over it. Ford programed whatever is making noise and when. Every car and hybrid are different but similar.
  13. Coulda-Woulda-Shoulda

    1970 I was in Viet Nam, 90 miles south of the DMZ
  14. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    Nope; I did them using double line pinstripe tape from Autozone.
  15. 2 random questions for those who have their maverick

    97 days, Hybrid XLT, Carplay
  16. Dirty engine after 3500 miles?!

    Wow, It is dirty. Every time I wash my vehicles (yes, I never go to a car wash), I start by washing the outside and hand drying it. I always get around to open the hood, take a damp rag and wipe down the underside of the hood and all around the engine compartment I can easily reach. About...
  17. Is it worth having Tailgate Assist Strut? Is it worth having Hood Assist Struts from MRT?

    I think one should buy and change whatever they want on their truck, bicycle, motorcycle, powerchair, skateboard, etc. If you want it get it. If you want to keep the money in your pocket till you see something else to get do that too. Change is good for many. Have it your way. I...
  18. FORD CEO $$$$$

    To me, it looks like you did not present your side well.
  19. More Bad News on Ford Supply Chain Woes [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    My first computer job was in 1968. Back then many functions were selected by a large breadboard where you simply plugged in a jumper from 1 point to point A B C D to get what you wanted. Imagine if we could open a panel and swap some connection points to make changes like camera brightness or...
  20. Pinstriping - DIY or dealer or ?

    Thanks, I'm not good enough to put 2 separate lines down. It was double line tape which you peel off the back side and run the tape where you want it. You can lift if a couple of times if you make a mistake and have not rubbed it in place. Once you press it all down by rubbing it firmly a top...
