  1. Gas mileage suddenly significantly lower in Hybrid

    Both low tire pressure and cold temps reduce mpg.
  2. 2025 bed size

    Thanks for clarifying. Yes, I prefer the EB, and I need to determine how often and how much highway driving is needed to prevent clogging the GPF.
  3. Carpeted Floor Mats?

    I used to get Weather Tech for all my vehicles, but I put Tuxmat in my Mav and absolutely love them. No more slipping when stepping in with wet or snowy boots, and they look great! I do like carpeted mats, but the Tuxmat stays in year round.
  4. 2025 bed size

    Being a low-mileage drive (90% short drives in town), I prefer the EB and planned to trade my '24 Lariat for a '25 until I learned of the GPF, which, which needs special attention to avoid problems. Somebody had posted that Ford does not put the GPF on Mavs shipped to Iowa. If true, I may...
  5. Well, it finally happened to me

    When my auto start/stop quits working, I top off the battery with my battery tender connected overnight, then it works for a couple weeks or so. Rinse and repeat.
  6. Well, it finally happened to me

    Sorry for not having followed this issue, but is it unique to hybrids? If not, I will count my blessings.
  7. Ford Motor Company Announcement [CLOSED AND WARNINGS HANDED OUT DUE TO POLITICS]

    Political comments not welcome here. Especially hateful tripe.
  8. $40K- the new norm?

    I'd say today's price reflects inflation plus the normal effect of supply and demand in a free market economy. Even at $40K the Maverick is exactly what I need for light occasional hauling, 90% town driving, and about 3K miles per year. I sold a perfectly good 2018 F-150 Lariat to buy my Mav...
  9. Direct Injection Noise, Sewing Machine Syndrome

    Never noticed it on my '24 Lariat EB.
  10. 2025 Maverick Sync4 Voice Commands (Not in Owners Manual)

    The more I read about the '25, the happier I am that I decided to cancel the order last summer and keep my '24 Lariat.
  11. 2L Horsepower

    Thanks. Good to know.
  12. 2L Horsepower

    I cancelled my order for a '25 Lariat EB, not due to lower HP, but because I learned about the GPF. I only drive my truck about 3K miles per year, mostly town miles, and GPF's don't like it when it can't heat up long enough to burn off the crap it collects.
  13. Honda and Nissan to Merge?! What Does This Mean for EVs and ICEs? 🤔 | Lasfit Small Talk

    100 years? Only China plans that far ahead. Meanwhile, the world will still need those liquified remains for the next couple decades or so while we transition to renewables at a sustainable pace.
  14. Holiday Decor

    Nice! Isn't it great to be able to say Merry Christmas and not get shouted down? Well, actually, that does take some of the fun out of it.
  15. Holiday Decor

    Love it!
  16. Traction control

    As I tell people who say "this may be a dumb question": there are no dumb questions, only dumb people... then smile and prepare to run like hell if they get pissed. :)
  17. Is Ford fixing little problems as year models change

    thatsasillyquestion... all one word; all lower case. 😁
  18. 2.5L Hybrid Engine - 20% Ethanol Experiment

    True, but Techron Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner does the job for me. I wouldn't need it if I used Top Tier fuel, but I use Hy Vee fuel points, and we don't have any Top Tier stations around here that accept the Hy Vee discount.
  19. 2.5L Hybrid Engine - 20% Ethanol Experiment

    My '24 EB performance is noticeably better with premium gas (no ethanol), so that's what I use. Cost difference is insignificant for me since I only drive the Mav 3K - 4K miles per year.
