Just because its legal does not make it reasonable. What do you do in a turn, open your windows to see out properly?

Your usual 3-clicks at the pump is damaging your truck. You should be stopping at the first click on any modern vehicle, including the Mav. Otherwise you're overfilling the tank into the filler neck, degrading the rubber filler neck-to-tank seal and leaving dried fuel deposits in the vent line...

The first 5 minutes or so the engine controls are in open-loop mode, and will use a huge amount of fuel to run rich and heat the coolant and oil and cat converter up to temperature. Its will take a bit longer with the 4k tow package, since it has more fluids to warm up. Then its gets a lot...

Unlike the 22-24s, at least they separated the heat exchanger from the rest of the $1200 exhaust pipe and muffler on the 25s. Its actually a weakpoint that had a recall in 22 to improve its resistance to overheat issues. The same problem part is also used on the hybrid F150s, and they fail the...

Nope. All of the Bronco Sport wheel options will fit the Maverick using the Maverick lugnuts without any alterations or engagement issues. Try it.

The teenage thieves with their signal boost devices in their pocket can easily get into your truck if you leave the key unprotected in the house. With the Lariat the doorhandle sensor will just unlock the vehicle. Its an extra step on an XL or XLT without the intelligent access option, and...

It must be interesting to not be able to see properly at night...

The 12V battery runs the electronics, and does not start the engine. Without the electronics operating correctly, the engine cannot be started buy the high-voltage battery. So, you need both batteries to be charged to start the engine.

At 11.9V after the surface charge bleeds off, you have a seriously-sulfated battery. The battery is covered under the 3/36 bumper-to-bumper warranty, so drop in to the dealer for a new one for free. I'm on my 3rd one at this point in my 23. I'm still waiting for the fix for the BMS faulty...

The BMS does not read the actual battery charge state, and instead only keeps track of how much energy goes in and out of the battery. If you bypass the BMS sensor attached to the -ve post of the battery, the computer loses the actual state of charge and will make wrong assumptions and not...

The factory rims on the Maverick and the Bronco are the same size and are interchangeable. However the lugnut are not, since the Bronco uses the smaller M12 lugs in common with the Escape and the Maverick uses the M14 size in common with the F150. Both sizes of lugnuts use the same seat width...

The part# on the top label for the Motorcraft AGM battery starts with "BAGM-" BTW, the CCA number is entirely useless on the Hybrid, and the reserve capacity in AH is the number that you need to see.

Yeah, you're lucky it still starts. Assuming that you've had all the recalls and the a/c SSM done, the normal standby current draw keeping the minimal sensors alive is about 50ma, so it would take several hundred hours of sitting time to discharge the 70AH battery down to the point of...

Having an active keyfob used to be decent security until the thieves got smarter. Just remember to put your keyfob in a Faraday Cage (Faraday pouch or tinfoil in your pocket, and a Faraday pouch or fully-closeable tin can at home. Most of the thieves today have a keyfob transponder amplifier...

Its not even accurate. That 0F assumes pure water at the brine saturation point at sea level only. And the 100F is high by 1.5 to 3.5 degrees, depending upon the person.

C degrees = (F degrees-32) * 5 / 9 F degrees = (C degrees * 9 / 5) + 32 km = miles * 1.6 miles = km / 1.6 U.S. gallons = Litres / 3.79 Litres = U.S. Gallons * 3.79 U.S.mpg = 235 / L/100km L/100km = 235 / U.S.mpg

We took off the brand new factory Firestone crap tires one week after purchase on our 76 Tbird. They hydroplaned in the first rainstorm. That's when we started using only Michelins, and still do to this day.

You need about 3hp to run the typical small car alternator, about 5hp to run an older model, and up to 50hp to run some of the F150 ones. Assuming that you use the smallest alternator, that's about a 5mpg hit while cruising, and obviously less when accelerating. Clearly you want to eliminate...

Since fixing the undercharging issue would be a pretty major cost reduction, the only other explanation that I can think of for not releasing the fix would be Ford waiting until everybody is out of warranty, making it somebody else's problem. Perhaps that's why they are putting AGM batteries in...

Yes.
