Because it fairs better with the constant drain. The truck won't start with a dead 12v battery because it runs all necessary systems and accessories. You should be asking Ford that question not a buyer. Come on we aren't stupid.
Nice....They just keep stacking bullshit verbiage and no fix. It's like oh yeah, oh well we know. It's ok you have a warranty, no worries.
The Ford Quality or lack of shit show. They just had 2 more recalls this week. Thank goodness not on a Maverick again.
My last battery replacement was a 470 CCA flooded. Original was 370 CCA. After 2 1/2 months it is starting to degrade, sometimes showing in the 50% capacity range at 100% charge. I purchased the truck 11 months ago. We'll see if it starts the no lights, radio and dash low battery power shut...

Yes, I disconnect the battery in the classic. I understand all that you say and the technology. It seems that anytime the 12v battery is mentioned we have the blue ovals attack or make...
I have 5 vehicles. One is a classic I drive once every 2 months. I've Never used a trickle charger and it is 8 years old and 12.9 volts resting. My Maverick 10 months old and on my second battery that is being killed. Out of 3 other vehicles only one dead battery a months after purchase, That...
