Hi, I just got a great deal on new tires for my '23 XLT Hybrid. I'll be taking off my stock Continental 225/65R17 for Nokian 235/55R19. Of course, this means new rims! According to my research, the new rims should have these specs (aside from size and TMPS sensors) : Bolt Pattern : 5x108 Hub...

Hi, Here in Canada, we'll be switching from snow to summer tires in a couple of weeks. I would like to use that opportunity to change the brake fluid. Has anyone done it by themselves? Any pits and falls one should be aware of? Is the technique any different than pouring in new fluid while a...

I have a 2023 Hybrid XLT Lux. Until last week, I didn't really had anything to complain about. That is until the recent -25c overnights we've been having. First, there was the solid amber engine warning light. Apparently, this was the result of the cooling system misbehaving. I drove slow for...

Just started doing my spring maintenance on my '23 XLT Hybrid. The multimeter showed my battery was at 11.5V with engine shut down and 15.2V with engine running (and full accessories load). AFAIK, the passive reading indicates the battery is failing. I've requested a replacement (under warranty)...

Since I took delivery (August 2023), twice have I had to top off the antifreeze tank. I'd say my Mav loses about a cup every six months. Not much but still, should I be alarmed?

I see a lot of threads on lifting, lowering, softening and other similar topics. However entertaining they are, none really address what I'd like to know. That is, is it possible to increase the hauling weight capacity? According to the specs, the XLT Hybrid can carry up to 1.5K pounds...

A car tailgate tent? Like this one? I see it covering the bed. I'm planning a road trip to clear my head and would like a quick camping option for rest areas.

Weird, no thread on oil changes in the DIY section... Got to fix that! As I am getting all my tools/parts ready for the inevitable first oil change, I can't find a clear answer regarding the drain plug. Should I plan on keeping the same gasket or should I get a replacement (rubber, copper,...) ?

Over the last 24 hours, we received 30 cm (1 foot) of snow in Montreal. I took out my Hybrid FWD Maverick out for a milk run to my local Home Depot in the city. (Time to get a new shovel!) As expected, the Mav was snowed in and it took me a good 15 minutes to clear. Getting it out of its...

Hi, As well as doing most of my maintenance, I'd like to create a paper trail in case an issue shows up in the future. Do any of you have an inspection sheet relevant for the Mav? Cheers!

After a year of waiting, ! finally got my 2023 Mav (Red XLT Hybrid Lux). Yeah! Probably like most of you, I did not get the opportunity to road-test one before ordering. After 48 hours, the only odd thing I noticed is the central armrest: it is about 2 inches too low and too short. I am only...

Ordered an hybrid XLT Lux back in August '22. Still waiting... I have needed/wanted this kind of urban pickup for the last 10+ years. Nice of Ford to realize we're not all ranchers, farmers, off-road enthusiasts or contractors.
