  1. Rear wiper

    Hmmm has the trailer connector got enough amps to run a washer pump?
  2. FYI. Looks like 2.5 Hybrid owners need not fear 2.0 Ecoboosts on the streets.

    Is that with the gear ratio change and old power and torque numbers? because the HF55 puts more on the ground now. It had, like 80s V8 torque at launch, now it's got like early noughts V8 torque at launch.
  3. Highest price for a lariat maverick EVER

    Well here's some inspo or ones to rejig or reengineer in foam board or something... https://redstoneprojects.com/vintageplans/sleeps4expandabletruckcamperplans.html https://redstoneprojects.com/vintageplans/vintagepickuptruckpopupcamperplans.html...
  4. 2025 Hybrid AWD Lariat trim, first fully metered tank, hand calc vs trip meter reset at prior fill.

    Yeah some ppl were curious what the AWD gets right off the lot, also it's for logging whether "run in" really happens much.
  5. Got dissed at the Depot!

    I have been hearing that used market is getting flooded with 3yo fullsize trucks, so many around that low mileage ones ain't even getting much of a premium, becoming a buyers market rapidly. As far as ranger and ecoboost sales go, Ford is gonna be competing with it's own used stuff, since there...
  6. Maverick owners demographics - just curious

    As a gen Xer it's a bit nostalgia for the minitrucks I wanted in my teens, and a bit of the jonesing to be more outdoorsy but not wanting the aforementioned mortgage on 4 wheels or the pump shock from dailying that kind of drinking problem. So does it help the cool factor if we trick out with...
  7. Does RealTruck have a hookup with Ranch Fiberglass still? regarding tonneaus.

    Hi RealTruck, It appears that you stock some Ranch Fiberglass products. In the compatibility matrix on Ranch's site they have the Maverick checked in the column for their Legacy solid tonneau covers. There has been one or two folks asking about the oldskool one piece tonneaus, but apart from...
  8. Maverick use in off road conditions

    Yeah I've only driven around a "construction yard" type of thing when parking signs misdirected me, about 6" of freshly rained on slop but basically hard underneath. All rutted and a bit hummocky from equipment moving around on it. But it did good, just kept going like it was on firm ground. I...
  9. Is the Ford Maverick Lariat Worth $40k?

    I see the point in a rear slider for single cabs, when you can stretch your arm out of it, reach in the bed and grab a cold drink maybe. I didn't see much utility in the power slider that came on my Lariat, but then I realised.... ... it's the eject button for farts. On the historical value...
  10. 2025 Hybrid AWD Lariat trim, first fully metered tank, hand calc vs trip meter reset at prior fill.

    Hi folks, Just a quick report on hand calculated vs trip meter readings at my second full tank, where first tank was dealer "filled" only I think they only just give it enough to look full. So hand calculated over 475 miles was 39.8 mpg and shown on trip 2 was 40.2 mpg, which is less than a 2%...
  11. Maverick owners demographics - just curious

    I saw a younger lass in one the other day, though I am getting to that age where everyone under 35 looks like a kid, so wild guess, 25ish.
  12. Rear wiper

    Like what?
  13. Is the Ford Maverick Lariat Worth $40k?

    I haven't bought that class of thing in several years due to realising that when they specified "emergency" in the title, they didn't mean you to use it more than like twice or three times, because it would break/wear and die real quick.
  14. Maverick use in off road conditions

    True true, I try to remember to use "soft road" for situations that are an actual intended road albeit with a suboptimal to horrible surface. Don't tell the Tremor and FX4 dudes, but what half of them post as pics and vids for trails they drove, I think "I drove a Tempo/Escort/Voyager on worse...
  15. Impressed with the hybrid Maverick towing!

    True, if the brochure is boasting of it's lightweight aluminum frame your chances of a magnetic bumper are slender. But it might stick on the top of the plate holder... though also you can get a clamp on hitch mount and stick it to that if you really want. I have a spare tire carrier like that...
  16. Impressed with the hybrid Maverick towing!

    Interesting stuff fellas, I have a 19ft Gulfstream Vista cruiser in my sights, that's gonna be 7.5' wide.
  17. Forcing electric mode?

    It's weird though that sometimes you can make the box grow from minimum to maximum by light steady throttle pressure and keep the blue inside it. I really find it's logic strange sometimes though. Like often I can't coax it to accelerate between 10 and 30mph, but it's fine doing 30 to 50 and...
  18. Great deal on Ford Escape plug in hybrid. Wish mav was plug in

    As a comparo to the 1st and 2nd gen Escape hybrids, oldest Ford hybrid, what seems to be the #1 thing taking those off the road is the same rear quarter "dogleg" and rear subframe mounting point rot that is taking out the V6 and conventional i4 versions. Cmax and Fusion plugins get some weird...
  19. Great deal on Ford Escape plug in hybrid. Wish mav was plug in

    A good chunk of parts are from the general Ford parts bin, they use the same one on an F150 etc, then another good chunk are in the C2 platform parts bin, the Maverick and Bronco Sport use them, then there's a chunk that were generic for the model and there's a million of those out there ending...
  20. Grease fittings

    I have been known to grease things with a sawn off turkey baster... things that theoretically can't be greased. You need the large syringe type, with a decent plunger seal, there's some cheapies that are useless, and due to the fact the needle probably has a side hole in it, cut the needle off...
