I remember reading that manual cars got better gas mileage, because it took a lot of energy for the car to shift the gears. I searched for this topic and didn't find it (online or in the manual) and have wondered for a long time if lane assist affects mileage. Does the truck correcting your...

I've seen multiple posts where people ask if Sync4 recognizes any other commands besides "Change the Temperature to XX degrees" and "Change radio to FM". It does the temperature and radio station very well, but I can't get it to change the fan speed, the "Auto" setting (1, 2, or 3), or turn...

It took some patience and staying off the interstates for 2 weeks, but I finally joined the 600 mile club. The computer says I averaged 47.2 mpg, but I think it was closer to 45 mpg. It's interesting that it thinks I could go 690 miles on my next tank. I put 13.5 gallons in after getting 600...

As I drive to/from my daughter's house 2 hours away, I've noticed when I get back I have a lot of bug guts on my windshield. That's nothing new, but I've also noticed that they hang around forever! The 2 pictures below show a bunch of specks on my windshield from a drive I took two weeks ago...

Someone was pondering why Ford changed the lights for the MY2025 and wondered if it was due to the new ones being brighter or maybe higher. Below is a picture of my 2022 lights and my 2025 lights side by side. I tried to park in the exact same place and take the picture from the exact same...

The 2025 Hybrid Maverick's Information Screen (Info Screen) shows what all Info Screens show (left to right): temperature gauge, power bar (or tachometer), speed, direction you're driving, fuel gauge, and (left to right at the bottom): total miles, outside temperature, gear, and miles to...

Just got my Oxford White 2025 Maverick XLT with the luxury package, a drop in bed liner, a smoke hood deflector. a keyless entry pad, and rubber floor mats. So far, I absolutely love it. Here are the pros & cons I've seen after having it for 48 hours. Pros: 1) The screen is much better...

Yesterday the Ford dealership called and asked what it would take to get me to come purchase my Maverick today (Tuesday, December 31st) even though it won't be there until Thursday or Friday. I said if they'd give me what Carvana would for my trade-in (Carvana offered about $1,200 more than the...

(I did a quick search on dealer cost and didn't find anything, so I figured I'd do a post) My 2025 Maverick is on the way, and I'm trying to get the most for my '22 XLT Hybrid Maverick w/ 43k miles. Here's my offers: Carvana: $23,200 on 12/16 and $22,200 on 12/26. Dodge: $22,400 (but I'm not...

A while ago I created a post showing how we can hide the undesirable look of the '25 front end redesign. (Best Idea Ever) I realized today, we're just looking at this all wrong. Remember those pictures that can be two things? In this one you either see a chalice (if you focus on the white) or...

I'm sure I'm not the first guy to post something like this, but I didn't see any posts specific to this topic when I searched, so I'm posting one now. After my last recall/computer update, I was regularly getting about 51 mpg with my 22 Hybrid Maverick XLT. I got new tires last month, and my...

There are clearly some "haters" for the MY25 Maverick front end. But where there's discontent, there's a solution! Etsy world & Muslogy, this is your chance to make a million, or at least a few bucks. Get some decals that cover the front part of the bumper that no one seems to like. Below...

I've been wanting the larger screen so badly for so long, they could have put the front end of a 1974 Volkswagen Thing on it, and I would have bought it. But seriously, I don't see why so many hate the front end of the 2025 Maverick. I actually like it. I think they did pick the best grill of...

Has anyone gotten an e-mail from Ford letting them know their MY25 order was received? Should we? I went to the dealership last Thursday at 9:00am and gave them my build (order bank wasn't open yet), and they sent me a picture of a folder as confirmation. I figured Ford would e-mail me...

Years ago I developed a belief: if you have to justify something (to yourself or others), you probably shouldn't do it. Anytime I say that to someone, the knee jerk response is something like, "I don't think that's true" or "Really? why?", or "That's nonsense." But if you think about it, most...

I was all set to get a Hot Pepper Red MY25 Maverick, and I just saw that the HPR has been discontinued. (heavy sigh). After being duped 3 years ago by being told school bus yellow is Cyber Orange (and the picture LOOKED orange!), I'm wondering: will Eruption Green and Ruby Red really be the...

Have they announced when the ordering banks will open for the 2025 Model Year Mavericks? I love my 2022 Maverick, but I really wanted a bigger screen and 2+ years later, no one has come out with an affordable replacement. I hear the 2025s will have a bigger screen (or the option for one)...

I've been waiting for a radio company to come up with a larger screen for the Maverick, but I had another idea that I haven't seen espoused. Can I just get a larger touchscreen and connect it to my current radio? Has anyone looked at the Maverick's radio or electric system to see if there's a...

I updated my phone to iOS 17.1 this week, and the radio seems to be having more issues than before. It's always had instances where it wouldn't connect properly, or once in a great while it would freeze up; but now it seems to struggle even more with connecting to my iPhone. Is anyone else...

I "built" a Gladiator on the Jeep site for fun to see what it would cost. Doing fairly bare bones as I did with the Maverick, the Jeep was about $38k. That's $15k more than I paid for my Maverick, but probably only $13k more than if I ordered my Maverick now. Is the Gladiator considered...
