  1. FORScan website is getting SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN error.

    That makes no sense - an http connection doesn't know or care about certs, and would never generate such an error. https://forscan.org/ works. The cert at https://www.forscan.org/ looks like it's for forscan.org (not www.forscan.org) - someone wasn't paying close attention when they replaced...
  2. Picking up dry cleaning is annoying

    When my great-aunt passed away 40 years ago, we found wire hangers she wrapped in IV tubing. They hold up great, and clothes don't slide off them - I still use a couple of them today. The child of the Great Depression knew how to save money (though don't ask about the drawers full of pockets cut...
  3. My mods

    Personally, I prefer the chrome. But it looks fine for what it is. All that matters is that YOU like YOUR truck!
  4. Starting the hybrid gas engine to warm cab.

    You mean Lariat, not XLT. XLT doesn't have remote start from the fob as an option (at least not for 2022/2023).
  5. Prevent your Maverick from being stolen

    Because someone in Russia wants to unlock my car doors or start my engine...scary! I see you ignored where I pointed out hacking Ford Pass doesn't let them drive it. I'm more worried about nefarious tow trucks than someone hacking Ford Pass. I'm not saying it can't happen - I'm saying there's...
  6. Prevent your Maverick from being stolen

    By that logic, why lock your doors? People can pick locks or break in. Why put valuables in a safe, even in a deposit box in a bank? Those can be broken into, too. It's not about whether or not any given solution is 100% secure from the most capable criminals - it's about if it's hardened...
  7. Turn headlights off

    I agree. There have been times I might have missed seeing a car if it wasn't for someone behind them with THEIR lights on. There are SO many cars running without any lights in fog, at dawn or at twilight, where the vehicle is so much harder to see because they left their headlights off. If it...
  8. What's on your Maverick keys / keychain?

    Had the Maverick on my keychain before I got my actual Maverick.
  9. Adjust lane centering timing? Almost got rear ended.

    It's called lane centering ASSIST, because it's not intended to do the job for you, it's supposed to help a little if you're distracted for a moment. Mavericks don't have the more advanced features intended to do more of the driving for you - Ford does offer such features in some vehicles, but...
  10. wipers won't return to well when off

    Same thing happened to mine this week. Once the temperature got above freezing (about five days - that's a long time around here), the next time I drove they reset properly. I didn't have to do anything special.
  11. If they made a full EV Maverick, would you buy, switch? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    9 states have laws banning new ICE sales by 2035 (assuming all are following California's law), and more are considering it. I guess it depends on what your definition of "is" is.
  12. If they made a full EV Maverick, would you buy, switch? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    One side of this discussion has people trying to force us all to do what THEY want us to do. There aren't any states trying to ban EVs, but there are states trying to ban ICE cars. I don't have any problem with people choosing EVs - I just think that adoption is slowing until the technology...
  13. Delivery Date experiences welcome

    The closer you are to Mexico - and the more direct the route the train will take to your dealer - the shorter and more accurate the delivery date is likely to be. Your dealer may have insight based on past experience, but they likely won't have any control over it. At most they may be able to...
  14. Why does the recirculated air light keep going out?

    I've had multiple cars where you could not have defrost and recirculate on at the same time - one or the other. I think that's normal. This is the first I've had that turns off the recirculate after a few minutes and leaves it off. I find it an annoyance - but had already found that same...
  15. Why You Should Never Lock Key in Truck And Rely On Keypad for Entry

    That wouldn't tell you anything about the connection between the vehicle and the server. I'm sure the phone's connection to the app is internet traffic, but without access to the network I can only guess at the vehicle-to-server connection. I suspect you're correct and it's "phone data" (aka...
  16. Why You Should Never Lock Key in Truck And Rely On Keypad for Entry

    Most likely, there are three - the IP address of your phone as it connects to the Ford Pass servers, the IP address of those Ford Pass servers, and the IP address your Maverick gets assigned when it connects to the cell tower to talk to the Ford Pass servers. I suppose it's possible the...
  17. If they made a full EV Maverick, would you buy, switch? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I'd love to point out that ChatGPT is a con - it's not intelligent, it's just good at figuring out what people want to hear, like a good con man. But that's not the point - your conclusion is correct, it's all about what YOU want from a vehicle. The very factors that convince some people they...
  18. My 24 Maverick stuck in Portland since 11-26-23

    Mine waited in Portland for a week, for an hour drive down to Salem. Dealer said the shipping company they have to work with for shipments from Mexico is awful, they aren't allowed to go up and pick up inventory to drive down themselves, they can't get updates or rush deliveries or anything, it...
  19. That awkward cubbie next to the infotainment screen

    Finally figured out what to put in mine. The tummy on this elephant is a microfiber screen cleaner.
  20. This is what’s in store for EV owners [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    That could easily be true. What is going to make the difference, though, isn't rolling out tens of thousands of EV chargers as they look today - even if the grid could support it, which it can't. What's going to make the difference are advances that make EV's look radically different than they...
