  1. Comparison Test: Best All-Terrain A/T Tires For Winter, Snow & Ice

    I run 2 sets of wheels and tires on my mav. If you can get a set of factory wheels for cheap the 3 peak tires are tough to beat in the winter and a dedicated summer set is fantastic. My 2wd Maverick hybrid with snow tires in bad weather has never let me down.
  2. Hybrid battery drain issue / ACCM update (as of 11/8/25) -- Latest info from a tech's perspective

    I just got my maverick back from service for the second time within 2 weeks. The first time my dome lights and FordPass would not work. After the immediate return to the dealer apparently more update were made and they put a new AGM battery in it. No problems after the last updates and...
  3. why i did not get to buy my 2025 lariat today in morgan hill calif

    Well that was 4 pages of my life I'll never get back. I mean for pete sakes if you're not going to sign something you should at least know what it is.
  4. car audio ground wire location help!!!

    Looks like you have a hybrid. Go to the negative ground cable on the battery.
  5. When is enough????

    The good stuff is expensive. The diode dynamic kit works great and was engineered vs some hack jobs.
  6. Auto Stop/Start may be going away (per EPA)

    On the highway test no, on the ftp (city) there is more than 1-2 seconds in multiple areas. We aren't talking 5 mpg.
  7. Auto Stop/Start may be going away (per EPA)

    EPA guy here, I work at that lab and work in the group that does vehicle emissions testing. You are correct it about passing emissions while caring about CAFE numbers. Lots of little things go into these cars/trucks to conserve fuel. The drive traces are just standard ones we have used...
  8. Pushed the towing limits

    The big advantage with what you were towing is the aero. I also didn't see what speed you were pulling at. I'd imagine a 4k travel trailer would pull much harder.
  9. S&B intake installed. What a difference

    100% agree with you. He better call Ford and let them know he added two things to make their engine get at least 10 mpgs per mile better. I'm sure that setup tested in a controlled environment wouldn't show those gains if any at all. This is all placebo noise and wallet weight reduction.
  10. Aftermarket Tach?

    What knowledge do you hope to gain from RPM?
  11. Foglights for 2025 Maverick Lariat?

    I think it's called being a tool. LOL I have a 22 and installed the diode dynamic kit. I've had it on for almost 2 years. Well worth the money and lights up exactly what fogs should.
  12. Gasoline Grade for 2.5L - what are you using?

    Only federal lab in the country!
  13. Gasoline Grade for 2.5L - what are you using?

    Hi all, I work at a Federal Emissions Lab where we measure tailpipe emissions and mpgs. If you are comparing fuel mileage on tanks back to back and changing fuels there will always be a variant. We do all our testing on the dyno in a climate controlled room with strict drive traces that you...
  14. Easiest way to remote start Truck (alternative to App)

    that’s what the first page is of the compustar. The Startex would be the same.
  15. Easiest way to remote start Truck (alternative to App)

    remote start for aftermarket is activated at the gateway module (behind OBD2 port) I've been installing remote starts for about 20 years. For anyone wondering here are the diagrams from Compustar/iDatalink: One is the T harness version with no wire connections and the other is one that is...
  16. Need help from Ford on issue just out of basic warranty

    When this situation happened did you take video and go to the dealer for the issue? Did they have it in their notes somewhere? If you are one week out of warranty I don't see why a dealership wouldn't help you. Do you get any maintenance done at that dealership? Ford has contact info all...
  17. Adding subwoofer to lariat advice. B&O

    read some threads dude….there are quite a few with pictures
  18. Engine Lurching @ Idle

    I only run in eco mode or slippery for applicable weather conditions. Remote starting possibly eliminates this problem as well.
