  1. Auto Stop/Start Not Working

    More energy is consumed to keep the vehicle warm, so it is likely that the engine is required to maintain temp and charge in colder climate. Just a guess.
  2. Android Auto literally useless. Anyone else?

    pretty much. That might be a bit more than I am looking at spending, but along those lines.
  3. Hybrid mileage at 500 miles: 44.9 MPG (600+ miles per tank)

    I have just over 125 miles on mine right now and still have over 3/4 tank, so things bode pretty well so far.
  4. Android Auto literally useless. Anyone else?

    Yes, I understand the hardware capabilities currently dictate a cable, due to data transfer capabilities. using a secondary device to eliminate that limitation is what I am talking about. Thank you for pointing out the very thing I was trying to address though.
  5. Android Auto literally useless. Anyone else?

    Okay, so I am trying to find out if there is a way to wirelessly connect AND use android auto for nav and everything else. I found a wireless charger that facilitates data transfer as well and have contacted the manufacturer to ask if it might be able to do so in a vehicle vs form phone to...
  6. Engine / motor oil : 0W-20 or 0W-16 for cold climate?

    I'll see if I can get someone to cut loose of the test results so we can all look at them side by side.
  7. Engine / motor oil : 0W-20 or 0W-16 for cold climate?

    ILSAC GF-6 will be split into two subcategories: GF-6A and GF-6B. The principal difference between the two subcategories of oils concerns viscosity grade and high temperature, high shear (HTHS) performance. The proposed ILSAC GF-6A specification would replace the current ILSAC GF-5...
  8. HUGE key/fob

    Some people just aren't used to having that much girth in hand I guess.
  9. What is the "precedence" of the two USB ports for CarPlay?

    In previous ford's I've been in, there is a hierarchy. Whatever the main phone is takes priority.
  10. Don't pre-fill your oil filter?!

    I'm not sure about Napa Gold filters, but it's the particles small enough to get into clearances that do the most damage. The 3-10 micron size particles cause the most harm. Most people also operate under the assumption that new oil is clean oil, not really the case.
  11. Anyone picking up their hybrid next week?

    I checked a number of places, big name and local, even gave Ford credit a shot. The dealer said that those rates were the best they had seen in a long time on the extended rate (>/=72 months). I've been using them for about 4 years and have no complaints so far.
  12. Anyone picking up their hybrid next week?

    Just signed up at the 72 months but biweekly payments, so the realized cost will be a little lower than the monthly would be

  14. Katzkin Leather Seat Covers for Maverick

    Prices usually start around $1,700 for covers and install. Not sure what cover cost alone.
  15. Exterior Graphics Source

    I am still thinking if I want to try and emulate something like this
  16. Took Delivery

    that cactus grey looks better every time I see it!
  17. Window sticker now shows today's date 12/13. It was shipped 11/30

    I am no expert, but from, what I have heard; any time there is an update on the window sticker (getting shipped or maybe unloaded from rail/truck) they put a new date on the bottom. I haven't been able to pull mine up for three days now and I know it was on a rail car, so...
  18. Don't pre-fill your oil filter?!

    The anti-wear and extreme pressure/anti-scuff additives are stuck to the metal surfaces and providing protection during this phase of operation as well. Larger systems still benefit from pre-oilers to build pressure and film thickness before startup, but most small vehicles won't see a whole lot...
