  1. DIY - Tow Hitch Installation

    Outstanding instructions from ADOSPEED! Thanks again for helping with my install. I just ordered a Ford Hybrid wiring harness with Ford Pass Points. Hybrid is in the shop for electrical short, but I will install the harness upon return and report on installation.

    Waiting on backordered warranty cable to arrive at dealer. When it does, I will try to get old cable and pictures of repair.

  3. Week Old and Dead in the Garage this Morning [Hybrid Maverick in deep sleep mode].

    Funny you said that, because when my Hybrid was DEAD, I realized that I could not even release the electric parking brake or shift to neutral (electric) to push the car somewhere. And popping a clutch and push starting a car - ha!

    Ford Warranty arranged a loaner, so I do not mind the wait. That is one less month of wear and tear on my Maverick Hybrid! You are probably right about fixing the cable, but the dealership probably has to follow protocol on warranty repairs.

  5. Dead Maverick Hybrid with <2000 miles

My Service Advisor did say that they contacted Ford for assistance. If you are having the same problem and a...

    How could Tim forget the empty hole video screen cubby? For God's sake, just expand the screen to fill the dash.

  8. 2023 Ford Maverick - 12 Changes We Need

    I think the 60/40 rear seat split would solve all of the access problems. Car seats are common, and required by law, and there is currently NO way to access the under seat storage with just one car seat correctly attached. I agree 100% about questions to start driving. I want to get in and go...

    Wow! You may be the Master Ford Tech! Maybe they will pay you for documenting this - they should! My Service Dept has been working on it for a week. If they have not figured it out by Tuesday, maybe I will need to check this out myself at the dealership. Thanks.

  15. Dead Maverick Hybrid with <2000 miles

    Thank you for the clarification. I printed a window sticker from Ford online on 1/9/2022, which showed a 12/21/2022 build date, see attached. The second attached sticker, "NOT FOR SALE", came in the vehicle's glove box, with the 08/30/2021 date. Possibly original order date? Oh well, what...

    Keep your hybrid fingers crossed! After 4500 miles and 5 months, I thought that my Hybrid was exempt from DEAD HYBRID - wrong!

  20. Week Old and Dead in the Garage this Morning [Hybrid Maverick in deep sleep mode].

    "I'm not saying driveway diagnosis is something ANYONE should have to do on a BRAND NEW vehicle, but if your dealer is scheduling weeks out, it couldn't hurt to look." You are absolutely right! That is a sad state of affairs If FORD SERVICE is that ineffective.
