I have a P0446 code, based on other forums (mostly F150 Forums) I ended up checking for 12 volts at the electrical connector on the charcoal canister. I have no voltage at this connector. When I pull the connector the code doesn’t change so I think I’m in the right spot. Since I can’t get any...

Add me to the list of Mavericks needing new half shafts. Unfortunately they are currently back ordered. Anyone that got this done recently, how long was the wait for parts? Thanks.

There's a couple threads on here about the P0446 code but I'm slightly confused. I'm throwing this code, I have looked at my charcoal canister, and confirmed that my purge valve on the canister is working properly (applied 12 volts to the valve) and there's no visible damage to the wiring. I'm...

I am way too cheap to buy a brand new truck cap, I'm also not a big fan of the canvas soft caps and Flated toppers. But I wanted a cap to put on the truck to use as a better option than a tent for sleeping on camping trips. The best option for me was a free truck cap I got off Marketplace...

I really hate to be "that guy" but I'm seriously questioning a recent repair quote I got from my dealer. I have an AWD Powertrain fault, just had the truck in to check it out. It came back as an RDU Speed Sensor Failure, I am being quoted $600 including the diagnostics charge and including a...

I’ve been reading lots on the deep sleep and dead battery issues and I’m struggling to find if there’s a solid fix for it? Lots of suggestions for wrapping my remote in tinfoil (is this really a fix?) change the battery to an agm, delete the FordPass app etc, but it seems most or all of these...

Took a long weekend trip a couple hours from home to do a little pre-fishing for an upcoming derby. I wanted to accurately gauge my fuel mileage while towing my boat. For reference, I’m towing a Crestliner 17 foot aluminum bass boat with a curb weight of 800 lbs. Plus trailer, motor, fuel and...

There’s plenty of threads in here about towing but I’ll add mine. Im towing a Crestliner 1754 Bass Boat that I restored over the winter and finally got out for a few tows this spring. The boat is rated as 800 pounds, the motor at 300lbs, best guess on trailer is 600 pounds. So with all equipment...

Picked up a screw in my tire and it’s going to need a plug and patch. Unfortunately my service department hasn’t called me back today but does anyone know if the oem tires are covered for road hazard? The Ford website seems to suggest something is covered but I can’t tell what. I’m just trying...

I work in Engineering and I spend a lot of time dealing with paint (on aircraft), and as such I have avoided jumping on the “Maverick paint is awful” bandwagon because all automotive paint is awful. But I’m quite willing to jump on the “Maverick paint prep process is awful” bandwagon as of...

Just spent 3 days running around the Cape Breton Highlands in my Maverick XLT. I’m actually not a huge fan of camping, but typically tenting it puts me closest to the best fishing spots so I grudgingly do it. I used to drive a Focus and then a Mazda 3 hatchback, and while the hatchbacks are...

Normally I like to make fishing lures, and occasionally beer tap handles that look like fishing lures. But I was getting bored in the middle of a covid quarantine so I took a shot at a Maverick beer tap handle. That Area 51 is a tough colour to custom mix…

Finished my install of an upgraded sound system in my Maverick. There’s plenty of threads in here showing door panel removal and trim removal and such so I won’t go into that, but I will add that I hate all the damn clips holding everything in. I broke a few for sure, and I miss the days of just...

I never understood the need for sliding tie-downs when each bed side has 2 existing tie-downs and 4 bolt holes, the bed is only 4.5 feet long! I wanted to add a tie down to each bolt hole but I wanted something a little less obtrusive than the big eye rings. So I made some short loops from some...

Let’s just accept that my dog is spoiled rotten. And if I don’t do something to prevent it, when I put her in the back seat she will have climbed into the drivers seat before I can even get to the door. I had used a similar diy guard on my old Mazda 3 to keep her in the back so I modified that...

After reading many posts about the escape floor mats options and how they fit the Maverick I decided to order a set of Findway F100 mats off Amazon.ca. I paid $170 for front and back. The front mats I am 100% happy with. They are a heavy rubber material, much better than my previous 3d Maxspider...

Nothing good ever happens when I scroll through Facebook Marketplace. Old scooters, broken outboards, industrial sized scroll saw… and now an Area 51 Maverick. Saw 3 Mavericks posted by a local dealer Wednesday night, put my deposit down first thing Thursday morning, filled out the paperwork...

Not sure how helpful this can be to those on the East Coast considering orders close in 2 days, but I was able to test drive a 2.0 XLT Maverick at MacPhee Ford in Dartmouth this afternoon. I had planned to order anyway but being able to take the truck for a good run certainly helped confirm my...

Hi all, had a good conversation with a local dealer this morning and am happy to be able to get out for a test drive later this week (even though I’m already fully decided on ordering a Maverick). Will be getting an XLT with a 2.0 and AWD but was hoping to get some insight on a few things prior...
