Thanks for this info, your legwork on this saves us a lot of time and questions.
I just got my 2025 mav ECO yesterday and noticed the sound is not that good. Volume is ok for me, but the stock system sounds boxy and cheap.
I didn't think the 12 volt battery in a hybrid should last less than a 12 volt battery in an ICE. Here's what AI said when I asked it the question......
12 Volt Battery Lifespan in Hybrids
The lifespan of a 12-volt battery in a hybrid vehicle can be longer than that in an internal...
That looks too beefy for a basic sound system amp, I get my Maverick later this week and since I'm curious about the sound system too, I'll let you know what I find.
That's very strange the battery packed it in after not even 3 years, they typically last 5-7 years, I know it's cold where you are (I'm in Toronto), but still you should have got more out of it.
Next time go to Costco, get a battery, even if you don't do it yourself, Costco will do it way...
I take delivery of my 2.0L ECO later this week, today got a call from the dealership asking if I want to buy extended warranty. I'd like any feedback on the topic.
Because I don't drive a lot, the package quoted is 80K (km), NOT miles, and 8 years, for me 10K KM a year is more than enough...
If it's water coming out of the muffler tail pipe, that's a good sign, it means the engine is doing its job, and maybe you didn't notice it on your ICE car but yes it does happen.

This is a very interesting analysis. I didn't see a factor in of electricity prices, how much it cost to install the charging port either, that's not negligible either.
I just bought a 2025 XLT 2.0 ECO, and I went through the same arithmetic and came up very close between the hybrid and...

Does look cleaner but putting some kind of panel on that won't look clean.
On an old beater I've done some body work to fill cavities with schluter mortar, I'd never suggest doing this on a nice vehicle like this. The mortar is weather proof but it's going to look like CR*P on a nice new...
Hi All, I would like to introduce myself. Just purchased a 2025 2.0L XLT, I'm in Toronto Canada, Taking delivery in about a week (bought a model off the lot).
I'm not new to ford. Started out with an old Ranger for work, outgrew that and got an E250 Van, got tired of hitting my head and...
