Hello all....I did some searches but didnt find this answer although I am sure it had to be discussed. I plan on ordering a E trailer plug n play hitch wiring kit for my xl hybrid. I love that there is no splicing into my oem harness. My only question is where have you guys been grabbing your...

Ok I am going to admit that I didn't do a search of the forum before posting this. But just looking to see if this is a common issue or just me. This summer a few times I would start my truck and drive off and notice the AC was blowing hot air. After hitting every button and switch there were...

Hello all. I met a guy in the Home Depot parking lot today that has hand fabricated the most awesome bed rack that I have ever seen. I believe he said it is made from 1/2" aluminum but dont quote me on that. He hand made and drilled everything. His buddy did the welding. It is mounted via...

Hello all I will make this a quick question. Recently I was going down a long steep hill and letting my truck do the engine braking. Towards the bottom of the hill my truck started to wind up like a kids toy . Is this a bad thing to use engine braking on a hybrid? Have you guys experienced...

2023 hybrid xl and I have 25k on the truck. I have been changing my oil at the dealer every time at 5k intervals. I guess there was a communication mix up which has me in this situation. My dealer offers a package called " The Works " which is a tire rotation and oil change for...

As mentioned in the title. I have a 2023 Maverick XL hybrid and I purchased the 100k warranty from a large dealer for a great price. My question is......has anyone read the fine print? Do I have to do the 20k service.........30k service...50k service or whatever the manual suggests? I am...

Hello all. I read a while back that the software that ford was installing to resolve some of these recalls was causing even more problems. I have held off having my recalls done in the hopes that they would work the bugs out. Today I have 20k miles on my 2023 hybrid xl and its time for an oil...

I get headlights flashed at me at night on a regular basis. I have yet to have my wife drive the truck towards me so I can see how bright the lights look at night for oncoming traffic. Do any of you know if the XL hybrids LED lights are particularly bright????? Thanks

I think some of that Tremor orange or other flat orange would look good as a pin stripe on my truck. I like how the truck is looking but unless it is clean she looks a little flat.....lacking pop. I wouldnt do traditional pin striping....well kinda.....I did like what the guy did with the...

Yep you heard me right.....for some reason my tire and wheel sticker was removed as well as my vin sticker but then they reapplied my vin sticker in a sloppy fashion. I have been a little disappointed in the choppy ride of my truck but the tires are at a crazy high psi. It was hard enough to...

I have a 23 Hybrid Xl in Carbonized grey with a black and grey interior that is cloth. I dont expect the cloth to hold up so I purchased Wet Okole seat covers for just the front. I ordered black with dark grey piping. They were pricey to the tune of about $400 due to the piping upcharge...

Just a quick hitter here folks. I understand the truck was designed to run on 87 but I have given her 89 octane twice and both times she definitely runs a little peppier and my MPG went up. Now in my area there is a substantial difference for 87 or 89 octane gas per tank so I have to decide if...

This will be my last and final mod and I am hoping it will be an easy one. Do you guys have any good suggestions for a clear hood bra? I am open to the DIY stuff. Do these yellow over time or are they good for the long haul? I understand that I am supposed to shop for the self healing type...

Hello all......I am down to my last two mods.....front seat covers and a clear bra for the hood. So lets chat seat covers. When I did a search a lot of posts about katskins sp? showed up and that is way way wayyyyyyy out of my price range. I just want a good fitting nice looking comfortable...

Selling my Steelies take offs with TPMS sensors installed.......Lug nuts also included. 1,800 miles on these in perfect condition. I live in Chantilly Va and will not ship. Selling for $500

Installed my recently purchased take off XLT wheels for my XL today. Thanks to the folks on this forum I now understand the proper lug nuts and thread pitch for our trucks. I have to say my lug nuts on the OEM steelies were not at 148 foot pounds. I had my torque wrench set to 150fp and tried...

Sorry in advance....I have read so many threads trying to find my exact answer and I just gave up. I just purchased some XLT take off wheels for my XL.......all I need to know is can I just use my current OEM lug nuts from the steelies for the new XLT wheels. Also.....does the torque rating...

Hello....I am wondering what the 4 upper bump outs are on my drop in bed liner. The front ones fit under the rail but the rear's are distorting the plastic part of the bed rail. I was just going to use my oscillating saw and knock em down a bit. Could these be for ladder racks or something...

Hello all.......Just a quick question. I am installing some beefy bed tie downs in the bed of my XL. As many of you know the front bed floor holes are not tapped at the factory so you are supposed to use a M8 or 8mm X 1.25 tap to thread the holes. So I was tapping the first hole tonight and I...

Hello all. I think I finally have something that might....just might.....be of some value to share to the forum. I will share the info in a very jumbled post because that's the way my brain works. So I purchased the Ford drop in bed liner and a Rough Country bed mat. I read several threads...
