Have noticed... wife and I own both a '26 Maverick and a '23 Superduty. If both are being driven within 30 yards of each our paired phones (with both vehicles) will try to connect to both and causes Fords SYNC system to get confused between the two when trying to call each other. Found this...
I always keep a colapsable 4way lug wrench, small can of WD-40, some lock lubricant spray, retractable ice/snow scraper, portable socket set, tire rope repair kit, flashlight, small variety of common fuses, old blanket, hand cleaner, a tire guage and a tow strap..... for everyday driving...
+1..... finally got our ordered '26 Mav in and purchased a tri fold for it on Amazon. Usually like the more secure retractable ones (i.e. Retrax, Jack Rabbit, etc), but given the limited bed storage space in the Mavericks decided on a inexpensive secureable tri fold instead for the same...
Are you sure its in the column? You say you heard it while parked as well.... did you try to have someone else turn the wheel (when making noise) while parked with the hood open too and listen for the noise under the hood to ensure its really in the column? Would give it a try as well. Might...
I might be willing to give up the small area of the (tight IMO) Mav rear seat area for a 2dr style truck that might even get better MPG if hybrid and lighter weight... maybe even a Ford Ranchero hybrid future car? Either way, competition in the small light truck based vehicle market is always...

Still waiting on delivery of my new Mav so not sure of all nannys, but, the headlights "auto on" issue is just a DRL feature, right? If so, maybe its because its cheaper to include for "other" markets that require them (CA, EU).....?
The AC thing...... would be weird if true. My '23...

My wife used to work at the HQ for a OTR trucking company called Yellow Freight. The story was that their fleet (and logo) were painted variations of yellow and orange color over the years specificily to reduce accidents while hauling freight across the country. The company claimed that there...

Similar here... wanted '26 Lariat Hybrid AWD 4K Tow in Ruby Red, ended up finding a dealer ordered in-transit '26 Mav with everything wanted PLUS rear slider (didnt want). But in my case, got the dealer to eat the slider and sell the truck as if without it for invoice. Im sure they wont miss...
OUCH!😮
My son hit 2 deer once a week apart.... one that sent him to the body shop and another on the way home after picking it up!
