  1. 800+ miles per tank club!!!

    They DO tell you there is a reserve - they just don't tell you how much it is... Pg 178 of the Maverick Owner's Manual: FUEL TANK CAPACITY Advertised Capacity The advertised capacity is the maximum amount of fuel that your can add to the fuel tank when the fuel gauge indicates empty. Pg 179...
  2. Ford will keep Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in its vehicles

    I guess I've been lucky with my Lariat Hybrid. No mechanical issues at all, and my Sync3 system has been pretty darn stable. The only issues I've had relates to the fact that I'm using an aftermarket "wireless" CarPlay adapter, which occasionally (only 2X in 6 months) fails to synch up on the...
  3. This is TopGun, my new Maverick

    I think I haven't had enough coffee this morning... My first reaction was "well, there's an 'M', an 'A', and a 'V', followed by..." Oh wait - that's NOT what he's asking... (Goes and gets more coffee...) :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:
  4. No Plans for Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) Maverick Says Mike Levine

    From my observations, there are LOTS of 4WD / AWD owners who totally misunderstand their capabilities. They drive WAY too fast in slippery conditions, believing that somehow having power to all four corners makes them invulnerable slick roads. I've long suspected that at least part of the...
  5. Full size spare question

    ...which they also include in the purchase. "Roadside assistance / towing" for the years it's under full warranty is common for those vehicles with no spare.
  6. 21650 miles CHECK ENGINE light on

    Dude - CHILL... No one is questioning your manhood . I was pointing out to the OP that finding out the actual code is the first step in making an actual diagnosis and start the troubleshooting process. And yes, I would say "guessing" that it's emissions related is just that - a guess. For...
  7. 600 Miles Per Tank Hybrid Maverick club

    Well, if that's his commute, that's his commute. He's not driving 35 mph on the freeway, I can assure you. Some of us rarely drive on freeways, other than on trips. I'm pretty sure GPSman is driving surface streets and backroads pretty much all the time - as I'm learning to do. I'm retired...
  8. 21650 miles CHECK ENGINE light on

    At this point, without using a scanner to retrieve the specific error code, there is absolutely no way for anyone to know whether the OP has a similar to yours, or not... Why raise his blood pressure further until he knows one way or the other? As someone else pointed out, Autozone or Pep Boys...
  9. Full size spare question

    People don't lose IQ points when they cross state or regional lines - even when they head south... I'm sure there are a few "people in the south" who drive on bald tires. I'm equally sure there are probably the same percentage of people in the north, east, and west who do the same. It's got...

    I was wrong... There have to be at least 3 members! (God help them...) :ROFLMAO:

    If that were the case, why would MTC allow those who don't yet own Mavericks to be members? Non-owners are still "potential owners" just like "order holders" are "seriously deluded into believing they will eventually get their Maverick order fulfilled."

    OMG :sick:- you win. (If that's "winning"... Gad, what an ugly vehicle! All that, and that legendary Fiat reliability, to boot! What a deal... :rolleyes:)
  14. No Plans for Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) Maverick Says Mike Levine

    We moved from the boonies to the "big city" (population ~68K), and 90% of the places we need to go are within a 10-minute drive. Before I ordered the Maverick Hybrid, I considered buying an EV as our 2nd car (wife has an Impala that used to be mine until she decided she liked it...). The...
  15. BedRug full liner installed

    If you were closer, I'd offer to do it for you. (The BedLiner, not the valve replacement! :eek: )
  16. i accidentally made this thread [NO POLITICS, NO OFFENSIVE POSTS, NO NSFW]

    Those "so ugly they're cute" cars cannot hold a candle to the old Pontiac Aztec. That thing grew in an UglyFruit tree, and hit every branch on the way down... And the back end is even worse. It's so bad that almost no one photographs the car so the back shows. Seriously - thousands of...
  17. This is not right.

    If you distrust the dealer that much, the dealership might also bump up your order priority just for your visit, then drop it as soon as you leave again...
  18. Crowdsourced Maverick MPG figures from 282 owners over 2.6 million miles (from Fuelly) ⛽️

    A bit ironic to see you making generalization about Texans (we all make generalizations, and "Texans" are all one type) while complaining about him making generalizations... :sneaky: But I do agree that his response was a pretty ridiculous. There are way too many people who "park"...
  19. Why doesn't the seat recline all the way back??

    My post wasn't about camping versus hoteling... It was about hoteling vs falling asleep behind the wheel because you're driving while exhausted... We do a lot of traveling in our RV, so stopping for a nap is a non-issue.
