You do know that the Maverick is built in Mexico, right?

I have the Ford mats (the dealership threw them in for free) and while they are fairly good, I don't like the missing mat coverage under the gas pedal. Since I'm in a place where there is snow and slush some of the time, I have just put a microfibre cloth there and change it as necessary. I...

Brake fluid changes are required as modern systems are more than just brake lines and a master cylinder. The brake system also has a pump and other components that are expensive to replace relative to the cost of the flush and replacement fluid. Replacing the coolant is also useful as it...

I may have missed something. Does the switch on the affected door work?

Life is short. If these features really bother you so much, sell the vehicle. You are never going to get Ford to do anything even if a thousand people agree with you. If these features drive you crazy, start pulling fuses until the nasty things stop working.

The car care nut frequently over-dramatizes things. While what he says is usually good advice, he frequently refers to the eCVT systems as CVTs and this is simply NOT correct. The mechanical differences are night and day.

Keypad went away after 23 model year. Had it on my 23 XLT, gone on my 24 Lariat. The stick on looked cheap.

There is also a Phillips posi driver head which is similar to the JIS except it is a bit more flared where the slope to the end starts. It keeps the head of the screwdriver better seated. I have some but I don't have access to them today.

I've had plug in hybrids, hybrids, and pure ev's. They all do things differently and their ranges on electric vary wildly. Of the three, I prefer the plug in Prius I have now a little more than my hybrid Maverick. It lets me do my city driving (over 90 per cent of what I do) electric. Or, I...

My F150 transmission gave a mightly clunk into drive after returning from a long trip of about 2500 kms. It did it again and I took it to my Ford dealer where they reflashed the programming and it never happened again. I think changing the fluid early is a great idea if done properly.

My 24 Lariat has built-in Nav, but I prefer the Apple maps function from my iphone. The big advantage is that since it is collecting data from all the apple phones ahead of you and updates road conditions, especially traffic jams. Having just completed a 7000 km trip and being able to see the...

No. My 2023 XLT Lux had the door keypad as part of the package. My 24 Lariat did not. I bought the Lariat because I wanted the rear parking sensors that were only available on the Lariat.

No. My 2023 XLT had the factory keypad on the door. My 24 Lariat lost the keypad. I haave managed to survive without it.

If you change wheel size, to keep the speedometer correct you just change the tire to match the rolling diameter. There are online calculators which will do this. No need for re-programming. We use smaller wheels with larger tires to get more sidewall height which help protect against...

Actually, if you do a search on this site, you would find threads on stuck hoods AFTER installing the hood lift kits. But I know you like to be contrary, and your mind is made up, so we won't confuse you with facts.

AI is very scary. It creates so much pure garbage. Every time I hear that it may be used to help with a medical diagnosis, I throw up my hands. People will die.

Just look up Amazon. It is a round disk with a slot for the pinch weld area and two tiny magnets which help to hold it in place. Not expensive - works pretty well with a floor jack. Have to wiggle it into place because due to plastic cladding and one side's trim not being exactly in the right...

It is a small difference and a trip to the dealer might make it worse so if it isn't pulling, vibrating, leaking, or causing smoke to pour out somewhere, you might be better to leave it alone. If it really bothers you, sell it. I did that with a brand new Tesla after five months as it did so...

The tailgate hole cover would not be a problem if you never carry small things that WILL fall into it when you are loading and unloading. Let's take a leaky bag of gravel, or small yard cleanup bits. Once the objects fall into the hole, you can't get them out. So for a few bucks, save...

I've had two Maverick hybrids. The current one (24 Lariat hybrid) for more than two years (Canadian owner). I've never had any issues with the 12V battery. It sits for days at a time. Some have had continuing problems with it as evidenced by their postings, but I think "majority" is an...
