  1. Driving in Low

    Just put it in ECO mode and it will do a higher amount of regeneration.
  2. The hybrid fake engine sound is annoying, thank goodness there's a fix

    Same. All I hear is a faint electrical motor sound in forward. I do get the back up sound.
  3. Carbon fiber interior trim pieces -- thoughts?

    Fake carbon fiber is the worst. Looks like garbage. Non functional carbon fiber is dumb.
  4. Thinking of getting a different truck.

    You should be able to get the order number from the dealership. Did you get an email from ford, an order confirmation?
  5. THIS JUST HAPPENED!!

    Unfortunately that's why it is so important to get that confirmation email. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do legally. They dealership hopefully is trying to make it right.
  6. 1000 Mile Maverick Hybrid XLT Review (and I mostly hate it)

    Pinging on the engine sounds odd. I haven't had issues, and with high temps in Phoenix and running AC so higher load, I would be having issues.
  7. Confirmed: The Paint Sucks

    Paint protection film is the only way.
  8. $800 Front Axle Replacement

    An exhaust could be enough grounds for a claim denial. Especially if we are talking something like a turbo back exhaust which reduces back pressure and thus changes the dynamics of the turbocharger. One could potentially make that claim even with a catback exhaust. Act language The...
  9. $800 Front Axle Replacement

    All right there. This isn't hard to understand. You modify your vehicle which impacts a certain part leading to a higher failure rate, the dealership can absolutely deny a claim.
  10. $800 Front Axle Replacement

    Here is an extreme case on a GMC truck to help visualize the issue for a lift. This is a 6" lift. I can't imagine how quickly that thing goes through axles.
  11. $800 Front Axle Replacement

    Your'e changing suspension geometry. The axle now has to reach down 2" further to the knuckle. (in case of a 2" kit) So under static load the axle is no longer a straight shot. Edit: Also you're asking the axle to reach slightly further to the knuckle as well.
  12. Buschur's 2.0 EcoBoost air intake dyno'd and ready. +26 whp and +17 ft lbs of torque

    Is the ecoboost MAP or MAF based for tuning purposes? I'd want to see STFT's and LTFT's in closed loop if you're seeing a 1 point increase in AFR in open loop. That's quite a large bias in fueling. Also you shouldn't see any noticeable increase in fuel economy if you're driving reasonable...
  13. $800 Front Axle Replacement

    FYI. I wouldn't put too much faith in what a dealership tells you. Especially if it's not in writing.
  14. $800 Front Axle Replacement

    The dealership can decide to do a warranty claim or not. Warranty claims are not black and white. Something like a wheel bearing isn't really going to need to move up the chain unlike my Honda HR-V which needed half the car painted due to delamination of the paint. It took a lot of pictures...
  15. $800 Front Axle Replacement

    Can you find this in the Warranty Guide? If not, it's at the discretion of the individual dealer.
  16. $800 Front Axle Replacement

    1. You are correct, Ford cannot void you warranty. However they can deny a warranty claim. 2. Ford doesn't have to prove anything. Everyone who modifies their car throws out the "mAgNUsOn-mOsS..." It seems that every time someone mentions Magnuson-Moss warranty act, the...
  17. Today is the 11 month anniversary of ordering my Maverick...

    Ug, that really is unfortunate. Curious how many June orders are left.
  18. States hitting hybrid and electric car owners with new taxes

    Governments are shit. It's never a spending problem. Only a revenue problem. Even current administration wanted to trial a mileage tax.
  19. What 'severyone getting for MPG with the ecoboost?

    If you're going 55mph to and from work 20 miles I could absolutely see mid 30's. I feel like if I had roads I could do 55 on continuously I'd be above 50mpg on the hybrid.
  20. Wind buffeting with all 4 windows down - solution?

    I would say the solution is to get a rear window. It's not cheap, but it will do the trick.
