  1. Pics & Review of my ‘25 Maverick XL Hybrid Velocity Blue

    It got down to 16 here in South Carolina with snow this week! We have been below freezing a lot this month.
  2. 10 Month Review, 2024 Maverick XL, Ecoboost

    My Maverick XL has now been driven for 7,014 miles. The mpg for January has been 28.7. The mpg over the last two months has been 29.6. The truck still drives well. No rattles or complaints. The new battery recall does not pertain to my truck since it came off the line on Feb. 29, 2024. It...
  3. Varying “miles till empty” after fill up

    When I filled up a few days ago, it said 480 miles to empty. I agree that it is going on the most recent tank of gas. In the warmer summer months, I have seen it on 520.
  4. This thing rides like a buckboard...

    My XL Ecoboost drives and handles very good. I have no complaints! Down here in South Carolina we do not experience the very cold temps like you do, but this week it is going down to 14 with a wind chill around 10. That is very cold for us.
  5. Updated Information - Gas Filter on the Ecoboost, No Loss of Power

    There was a time a few years ago when Ford was encouraging customers to change their orders to Ecoboost engines. I waited 552 days to get mine since Ford said an Ecoboost order was more likely to get delivered. I am happy with the Ecoboost. I didn't know anyone thought it was redundant.
  6. Give me buttons !

    It should be about safety, not convenience! Ok, I am 73 so label me old. It is a fact that the more extra features you have, the bigger chance of something going wrong.
  7. Is it large enough for you?

    I have hit my head several times. It is usually putting things in the back seat and forgetting to duck my head when coming out. I am used to ducking when getting in the front seat. It really hurts when you are bald on top like I am. The hurt even goes through the hat I wear and opens up a...
  8. Pictures of my new '24 Maverick

    Nice truck! I really like the fire missle button that you added!
  9. Updated Information - Gas Filter on the Ecoboost, No Loss of Power

    Don't knock the Ecoboost motor. It's fun to drive!
  10. No more steel rims: aftermarket wheels upgrade to Motegi racing MR116 FS6

    That's why I said to each their own! That is preference.
  11. No more steel rims: aftermarket wheels upgrade to Motegi racing MR116 FS6

    I like the steelies just fine. I don't know why so many like spending hundreds of dollars on new wheels, but to each their own. Enjoy your Maverick!
  12. 2024 Maverick vs 2025 side by side photos

    I like the 2024 much better. I don't need all those options and am happy with my XL with the Ecoboost engine.
  13. Nine month review: Maverick XL Ecoboost

    After nine months and 6,362 miles, I am still happy with my truck. The last time I checked the mpg was several days ago. Over 804 miles it averaged 30.5 mpg. That was mostly highway miles on two lane roads with 55 to 60 speed limits using normal mode. The truck continues to drive and handle...
  14. What do you (will you) miss from your old vehicle in the Maverick?

    I don't really miss much from my old 2010 Ranger XLT. My Maverick XL is actually a much better truck in almost every way. I think the only things that were better in the old Ranger was the radio and a six foot cargo bed. The Maverick has a much better ride and handling and much better gas...
  15. MotorTrend Tacoma test drive: The Last Stick-Shift Pickup

    Looks like Toyota has been missing the mark lately! Poor gas mileage and high prices may mean poor sales. I have read that other Toyota models have problems, also.
  16. MPG Correction Tutorial - AFE Bias Adjustment (via Engineering Test Mode)

    It's not going to get more accurate unless you adjust the AFE bias. I agree that the more pump calculations you do, the more accurate your mpg will be. The computer readings on my truck were always higher than the pump calculations until I lowered the AFE bias.
  17. MPG Correction Tutorial - AFE Bias Adjustment (via Engineering Test Mode)

    I just like for the computer reading to be accurate. You should never make changes just based on 75 or 100 miles. I think use at least 2 full tanks before making any changes. The fact is that the factory setting is too high. Most people on here say that about 950 is a lot more accurate...
  18. MPG Correction Tutorial - AFE Bias Adjustment (via Engineering Test Mode)

    I'm not sure about that. I use actual mpg divided by computer mpg to get AFE bias number. In your example it's saying the reading is optimistic by 11.2 percent. When I first checked mine, it was off by about 6.5 percent and has improved some since then. I haven't heard of anyone's being off...
  19. We're looking at this all wrong (the front end redesign)

    Song for today: It's too late to turn back now!
  20. My first recall letter

    I got the same letter yesterday. This will be just the second recall on my truck. I am still happy with the truck and plan to keep right on trucking!
