  1. Hitch step for the Maverick?

    On a Maverick, the hitch-mounted "step" just doesn't make any sense to me... As low as the Maverick bumper already is, a step just doesn't really seem necessary. My 65-year-old wife can put one foot on the built-in bumper step area, and then swing her leg over the tailgate into the bed of the...
  2. 525 miles today - ecoboost mpg thread

    I remember when Mon and Dad drove from Knoxville, TX to El Paso, TX for our wedding, back when the interstate speed limits were still 55 mph... I had suggested to them that they stop in Little rock for one night, and a second night in Dallas or Ft Worth before continuing on to El Paso. But Dad...
  3. 525 miles today - ecoboost mpg thread

    Well, now you've got a good feel for the distances we deal with in Texas... For a few weeks back in 1996, I actually commuted every other day between our home in The Woodlands (just N of Houston) and Plano, TX. That was a little over 250 miles, but due to heavy traffic on I-45 took about 4...
  4. Confused & Worried New Member

    Well, at least you know you're actually in the pipeline to have yours built... There's a lot of us waiting who have no clue IF (much less when) we might get scheduled. Statistically, about 2/3 of us with still-unscheduled hybrid orders are probably going to come up empty...
  5. Malfunction indicator! Service Engine Soon Warning

    Since it turned off, I wouldn't worry too much about it until you find out what "code" is stored for that warning. Dealer should be able to tell you when you take it in for the airbag recall.
  6. Going in for the air bag recall....

    Jsus is right. Dealer is not in the loop. Mine came straight to the house from Ford.
  7. TSB for the brakes grabbing -- is for 2022 or 2023 Maverick?

    FWIW, that TSB (issued 15 Dec 2022) does specifically state "that meet the following criteria: 2022 Maverick 2.5L FHEV At least one of the following conditions: Illuminated MIL with DTC P0402 stored in the PCM Brakes grab during light braking at or below 6.2 mph (10 km/h) That would appear...

    And mine will have the Black Appearance Package, so there's that... LOL
  9. Options for larger moonroof shade handle?

    I never really gave much thought to the positioning of the mode buttons between the seats... Carry-over habits from my days flying helicopters for Uncle Sam (Army) caused me to sit in the "cockpit" with the manual, and learn (memorize) the position of every button and switch before attempting...
  10. My Maverick arrived, but not as ordered

    Ford REALLY should have renamed this "new" package. I wish they had called it "Advanced Driver Assist Package" or something similar, so it would have been crystal clear to anyone looking at it. The first few times I read "Co-Pilot 360 Assist Package", I thought the "assist" was just further...
  11. I need to take a moment to apologize ...

    Years ago, Bob Hoover (airshow / test pilot famous for having flown almost everything with wings) was asked "What's your favorite airplane?" His response was "The one I'm flying now..." I have a Cyber Orange Maverick hybrid on order, and am currently driving an Area 51 First Edition Hybrid...
  12. Still can't believe the wait is over

    Have you driven the Mav with a heated steering wheel yet? I find it hard to believe that it's not warm enough for pretty much any climate... I certainly would not want it any warmer than my '22 Lariat Hybrid Lux wheel gets...
  13. Side curtain airbag recall left Maverick dead

    Did they reconnect the "service loop" in the engine bay? For a lot of "heavy" maintenance involving electrical systems, the first and last steps involve disconnecting the HVB using that disconnect. From memory (dangerous at my age!) it's a green connector near firewall on passenger side of...
  14. CYBER ORANGE Maverick Photos Thread

    Well, depending on "where" in CenTx you are located, you could eventually have company, since I also have a Cyber Orange Hybrid Lariat on order... Maybe someday I'll get something other than the 45-day "not yet" letter...
  15. Video: Can the Maverick power a welder

    Yeah, the F150 setup is totally different... It's designed to allow you to do some "real work" with it. The Maverick is more for allowing you to run a phone charger, small TV set, or things like that... Definitely not power tools, and certainly not a welder. The Maverick inverter produces...
  16. Video: Can the Maverick power a welder

    Let me save you the trouble: He manages to get a couple of sparks, but even using some fairly thin metal, it's a bust. Which is not at all surprising, considering welding requires a good bit of amperage, and the Mav's outlet is not intended for that type of usage - it's a fairly low wattage...
  17. High frequency sound in Hybrid while gas engine on at around 40mph

    I also believe you're hearing the generator "whine" while it's recharging the HV battery. In my Lariat, I barely notice it unless the windows are down, then it is more audible... Personally, I don't find it all that objectionable - even less so when I'm trying to optimize my mileage... There...
  18. SiriusXM Traffic/Travel Link vs. SiriusXM Radio

    I used to laugh every time a delivery person said "I'm trying to find your place, but I'm lost... Google Maps keeps sending me to [insert random place here]." Same thing with Waze. Both seem great in urban and suburban areas, but maybe not-so-great out in the boonies... Apple Maps, TomTom...
  19. DIY lowering on MAV hybrid?

    Posted twice, and I still can't read the text in the photos...
