Heck, that's a pretty good deal, to trade a car seat for a $7K minivan! (Just kidding - I know what you really meant...) Sometimes, "poor" is more of a state of mind than an actual economic situation. My wife and I lived for several months on hamburger helper and "on sale" ground beef (on...

Ditto for me. I'm not seeing 23088 as available for my '22 Maverick Hybrid Lariat First Edition.

Well, I've lived with Chevy's "proprietary" system for a long time (2014 Impala, 2015 Silverado HD), and vastly prefer using Sync3 with CarPlay. The latter is night and day improvement. Even after owning it for 7 years, paying for map updates each time, that damned Nav system couldn't find my...

Same for mine. Not sure if I like it that way or not... As you mentioned, "stuff" does seem to get trapped in those cracks, which was never an issue in the truck I had done by LineX. I'm wondering if black silicone caulk would adhere well enough to seal up those cracks, while still allowing...

And that's probably why 42% of Americans have less than $1500 in savings accounts these days...

For decades, automobile loan interest hovered around 8% and savings accounts paid around 5% Now, interest rates are 5-6% on those loans, and savings accounts are paying 2-3% (if you're lucky). At one point in the '70s, when hyper-inflation was the "norm," interest rates on car loans ranged...

I finally got the update (3.4.22251) to install on the truck (via USB), but once again when it completed there was no XML log file written, so it could be updated and Ford would update the web site...

No, you're not... And eventually, someone is going to make an aftermarket "split bench" upgrade for these trucks... I hope they sell a million of 'em!

How can I get some attention today? I know, I'll go make fun of someone else's color selection, in the thread where they are celebrating finally getting a Maverick.

So sorry to hear that... Depression can really screw with your perception of the world. I hope he finds some help. Counseling did wonders for my daughter when she was suffering from depression. Still deals with it today, but her coping skills are WAY better. It's hard to watch someone you...

Yeah, a few other forums, folks use green text to indicate sarcasm. Wish that would catch on here...

Well, I can assure you that the shark-fin antenna itself will NOT "flex if impacted"... :eek: Those things are completely rigid, and if one were to drive into a partially-opened garage door (perhaps, for instance, because your kid closed the garage door while your were half-way into the...

Sync 3.4.22251 is what the truck reports, and 3.4.21194 is what the Ford website thinks I have...

Mercedes developed a lot of technology (and materials) that make our cars better / safer... But let's not credit Mercedes for the all-glass automotive cockpit that Tesla implemented long before Mercedes even considered it...

Just replied (at length) about my problems with updating firmware over wireless. But my CarPlay adapter is this one, which Amazon shows is currently not available. That's a recent development, because I've recommended it to a few others, and it was available then. Maybe just a supply chain...

No luck at all, and I've got 5 bars of very high speed internet in my garage Wi-Fi connection. It has NEVER said there was even a software update available, even when the web site (and FordPass app) BOTH show one is available, and I confirm by looking at the truck's software levels that I need...

I get that you "don't like screens" and would prefer to just have an old-fashioned radio. Would you have preferred to pay $1000 more for your Maverick to have that option? Because 99% of us vastly prefer having one screen to having a multitude of separate gauges and control panels for all the...

Reminds me of the time my wife walked in with my daughter, just as I was closing my browser window. She very suspiciously asked "What were you looking at?" I said "OK - you caught me. I was looking at porn." She turned to my daughter and said "Yeah, right! He was on that damn Maverick...

Homelink mirror has the garage door opener "remote" capability built in. Some people like the convenience of not having to deal with a separate remote for the garage door. But if you ever park outside your garage, someone can break into you car, then obtain access to your garage through the...

Yeah, it's amazing how unreliable cars can be when you drive for years with a CEL illuminated... :rolleyes: :sneaky:
