  1. Jump pack recommendation for the Hybrid

    I haven't even got my truck yet but I picked up a NOCO GB70 on Amazon (Boxing Bay Sale - Canada - Eh!). I know its over kill but I like the piece of mind and I don't plan on using the truck to help out my fellow citizens if they need a jump start, I will just pull this out and there is zero risk...
  2. Ford didn't cancel my 2024 order

    If the dealer ordered the MY24 using the same order number as they were supposed to on a rollover then Ford may have indeed cancelled it as it was built in their books.
  3. What did you drive before the Maverick?

    This (it needed a bit of a wash and detail here) was replaced by... Not my picture but same car (2008 3.6L Saturn Vue AWD) in my garage waiting to be replaced by the Carbonized Gray Lariat Hybrid (+BAP) with a Feb build date.
  4. Arghhh!! Neighbor got a mav before i did!

    I caught this on on my trail cam, I think it was just passing through. I have a neighbour who has an XLT that is wrapped with his company advertising. I have only seen maybe 8 in the past year since ordering mine.
  5. Tonneau cover leaking

    I am not expecting mine to be waterproof. I plan on getting a couple to Rubbermaid totes (or next best brand with the best fit). I am adding one for more security not so much for the weather proofing.
  6. Latest on Engine Fire Recall for MY22 Hybrids?

    Reading your reply made me think... I grew up at a 1/4 mile oval race track. I watched the races almost every weekend and in my teens I started working there parking cars. Over the years I watched many car fires extinguished. I learned the best way to extinguish an engine fire is to shoot at...
  7. Hybrid Trailer Tow pseudo Shift points

    I have to admit I made the same mistake (thinking the eCVT was simular to the CVT). I was not aware of the pitfalls of a CVT until after I ordered my hybrid Mav and for a short time I thought maybe I made a mistake. Thankfully I read posts similar to yours and then started doing my own research...
  8. Dealers

    I tend to use the dealer for warranty work, but go to a local mechanic (well know by our family) for repairs once my vehicle is out of warranty. I used to have a great mechanic who was good friends with my parents (I grew up playing with his kids). I knew he was a no BS kind of guy. One time...
  9. Ecoboost Oil Change + Cabin Air 3/5 Would Do Again

    I don't have my truck yet but the ramps I have are metal and have a sort of mini pre-ramp attached to the front of them that flips down. I suspect they were designed to allow a RWD vehicle to preload the lower angle part of the ramp without pushing the ramps with the non-drive wheels but it...
  10. MPGs FAR below advertised and hype. Are you all telling the truth?

    Honestly I just checked mine in my 3.6L SUV this AM and I am getting 14.8L/ 100km (15.89mpg - US gal) so I will be happy with ecoboost mileage from my hybrid when I get it! 😜
  11. Ford and Lincoln Battery Management Systems

    My Saturn Vue has a battery drain issue that is most prevalent when either the battery is low quality or nearing the end of life. Sitting 2 days is enough to have it refuse to even try starting even though I can see headlights and the radio works etc. I don’t have my Mav yet but I won’t mind a...
  12. For those who are shocked by current auto loan rates here is historical rates since 1972

    I bought my first Nissan Sentra (the first year of Nissan’s it still had a ā€˜Datsun’ badge) in 1981 with a 12.5% loan. I was 16 and just out of school… Fast forward to 2016 and we were able to pick my wife up a 2015 2.4l Turbo Chevy Eco Cruze with a good discount, for 0% interest and they even...
  13. Hit by a Pigeon

    I can’t say I hit a pigeon but I did smoke a black bear once. He had to be put down by the RCMP officer who got the call, unfortunately for bear, but then he should not have been crossing a highway on a blind corner!
  14. 2024 Maverick Clean-up Scheduling This Week (12/7/23) for Production Weeks 1/1/24 - 2/26/24

    I wonder if the VIN numbers are assigned when your turn comes up (allocation and no constraints at the time) and then they juggle those buildable vehicles into blocks of simulator builds for efficiency which shuffles the VIN numbers.
  15. Ice Possible, Drive with Care Warning?

    I have never had a car that had it so not having it is no big deal for me… I think my SUV even had a light that is supposed to come on if I am close to running out of gas but I have never seen it as I use other signs to signal when I need to put gas in it. It’s the same for ice on the road for me!
  16. 2024 Maverick Clean-up Scheduling This Week (12/7/23) for Production Weeks 1/1/24 - 2/26/24

    The number of rollovers has to be dropping considerably so hopefully the delay is not as damaging to your timeline as you fear! I ordered My24 about the same time as you and I got my Feb date last week! I wish you luck!
  17. Key pad not working

    If your on Facebook in might be time to change the code, that is if it is still in the driveway! :ROFLMAO:
  18. Latest 2024 Maverick Production Key Commodity Constraints + Total Retail Unscheduled Orders (12/4/23)

    I left them on and just got my Feb build date. Only thing is when I look at the description in the build tracker it only lists the front guards. Hopefully it’s just a glitch or missing characters and it arrives with all 4 installed . šŸ˜‚
  19. 11/30/23 Scheduling Email Received Group [EMAILS NOW ARRIVING!]

    My understanding is you should have been getting updates from Ford USA (likely did not have the correct contact info for you), whereas here in Canada Ford does not contact the purchaser at all and we have to rely on the dealer to keep us informed. I contacted Ford Chat 3 times - twice to confirm...
  20. All-Weather vs All-Season vs Winter Tires

    I have been running some Bravo H/T tires on my Saturn Vue for years now that are fantastic in the snow. They are only rated "M&S" but have a very aggressive tread and have a lot of siping. They did increased the road noise a bit. I was thinking I will see if they are available for the Maverick...
