Almost 2000 miles now, and I've experienced it only VERY rarely. And I would chalk those events up to poor technique on my part. After years of driving a Prius-C, where the transition to friction brakes required slightly MORE pedal input, doing that on the Maverick hybrid definitely is NOT the...

To attempt to answer the OP's question: No, there is no audible alert for the Lane Keeping System. However, you can adjust the "intensity" of the lane-keeping system vibration of the steering wheel (Settings - Driver Assistance - Lane-Keeping System - Intensity), but there is no audible...

Plus, it's not very practical when it's 8º outside... I find this whole discussion ridiculous. The hybrid noise is not at all loud or annoying. Inside my hybrid Maverick I can barely hear it, and outside it's certainly not loud enough to "wake the neighbors." My garage door opening makes 10X...

I'll start thinking about a place that might work.

When you put it that way, even a $10K ADM would only come to $19.23 per week... How much is your sanity worth? LOL

Are you not worried about someone breaking into your truck to steal the one in the door pocket? And what do you do with your carry pistol when you need to go into a facility where firearms are not allowed? Those were the potential use cases I saw for the locking console.

I was thinking the same thing... Maybe we need an Austin area meet-up?

Yes, I believe that would be correct. You will experience slightly more "bounce" but it should be within design limits, for sure, and certainly not anything dangerous.

Compare it to my wife's 2015 Impala V6 LTZ, I'd say the Maverick Hybrid is slower accelerating and takes a bit longer to stop. It would certainly be considered a less smooth and sophisticated ride - but then the Impala was rated by several reviewers as being on par with BMW and Mercedes in...

When you hit a pothole, the tire drops into the hole (accelerating downward due to gravity). The greater mass of the tire means that the impact is greater (force = mass X acceleration) when it bottoms out (or more commonly - when it hits the far edge of the pothole). When the tire "rebounds"...

Yeah, Wi-Fi hotspots use a lot more power constantly advertising their availability... If you don't need it, turning it off is a great idea.

I really don't think the backup "beep" is loud enough to disturb your neighbors' sleep... If it is, chirping birds probably already have them awake anyway! Funny story (sort of): We kept hearing this super-loud hammering coming from my neighbor's house next to the woods. It happened every...

For those who previously owned full-sized trucks, the Eco may be preferred because it can be configured to be more "truck-like" (AWD, 4K Tow, etc.), yet still delivers fuel efficiency unheard of in the "full-size" world. For those who have NOT owned full-size trucks because of their poor fuel...

To me, it's clear. The Ford towing guide states that the Maverick can tow 2000 lbs (standard for both Eco and Hyb), or 4000 lbs (Eco with 4KTow pkg). In both cases, I believe it is unequivocally indicated that no WDH is needed. When you get to the towing guide's "weight distributing hitch"...

Well, as the owner of a Lariat with the brown + three shades of blue/gray interior, I think the BAP on the Lariat is a VAST improvement. Especially with the Cyber Orange exterior color that I have on order. I've seen the brown/blue/gray with CO exterior, and I just don't care for it...

I bought the hybrid for the fuel mileage, not for "performance." The day I take the hybrid to the track, I'll run 91 octane in it. Until then, I'll continue to save $0.50-0.60 per gallon (~20% cheaper than 91 octane). No one has documented anything close to 20% improvement in fuel mileage...

See, that's the thing... That Maverick owned is not very likely to drive into the mud bog that trapped the Taco... Folks that are smart enough to buy a Maverick are generally smart enough to learn from the mistakes of others... It is said there are three kinds of people in this world: Those...

Yep, it's Just A Truck, but I'm loving mine! My wife likes it so much that she's started calling it "her truck." :cautious: Uh oh...

Sure - go for it! (Good luck convincing anyone who wants a hybrid that they should get an EcoBoost instead…)

I decided a while ago that I was going to order what I want (hybrid, color choice, BAP, etc.). Why settle for something that isn't what you really want? What a bummer it would be to NOT order what you want, wait 6-9 months for it, and either not get it at all, or have it come in and be wishing...
