I'm investigating adding a small winch to the bed of my maverick, probably attaching a divider at the cab end of the bed. I'm needing something like that to get deer into the bed of the truck. I've had a bulging disk for twenty-plus years but have never had any serious issues with it, but I'm...
Had my 2022 Lariat go into "deep sleep" mode yesterday afternoon at about 48,700 miles and 2 years and 5 months of ownership. Drove it in the morning on a couple of short 10-minute trips, parked it around noon and it was in DSM at 1:15pm. Had to jump-start it to get it going. Four other short...
Well, as the title states, today I was driving and had a Costco certificate sitting between the passenger-side sun visor and the roof when the piece of paper falls out of it's place and onto the dash and slides away between the windshield and dash. Had I not seen it happen while I was driving I...
Anybody know if there's a part # for the small coin-shaped button that covers where the physical key goes in the driver door handle? I noticed this morning that it's missing on my 2022 Maverick. Found a part # for the actual door handle, but looking at the diagram on the Ford site there...
I acquired my 2022 Maverick Lariat in June 2022 and have 33.5k miles on it. I'm not tremendously impressed with the tire wear. I've got a 2012 Highlander Limited AWD that's had a set of Michelins on it for 56k miles and still has a lot more tread left. I've rotated the Maverick tires per the...
Well, I guess you could say I don't use the app much, but last night I noticed that in the Ford Pass app that there was the following message: "restraint indicator lamp warning - the restraint control module has detected a fault with the second row driver side seat belt sensor" (Mar2023)...
Just thinking out loud here and pulling in a bit of American nostalgia and Americana, but who thinks that with the rise of hybrids and EVs and given the current issue of a finite lifespan for batteries, do we think that most hybrids and EVs will become impractical to "rebuild" and restore like...
Question: the manual shows or at least seems to indicate that the rotation pattern is to cross-rotate the rear tires to the front and move the front to back. I ran across a video from Test Driven TV and they just rotated front-to-back/back-to-front on same side. I went with the manual when I...
Quick question, I finally got around to checking tire pressure with a gauge and the difference was 7-8 pounds higher with a gauge than what the TPMS was showing. Like others I found my pressure with a gauge to be 43-45 pounds while the TPMS was showing 37-39.
This is the first vehicle I've had...
So, just refilled my Maverick for the first time. Drove 460.3 miles and filled up with 12.697 gallons (no top-off after gas pump clicked off). Works out to a computed mileage of 36.3 while the computer said 36.4. Driving was in Memphis area, which is relatively flat. I would estimate 50%...
I was notified today (5/5) via Ford email that my Maverick Lariat Hybrid is built. The window sticker has "NB" as the destination other threads and google searches say "NA" (North America) is the norm. "What's up with that?"
Oddly enough, it seems this has shown up on other Ford makes and the...
I was able to view my Mav order that is now in production and download the window sticker yesterday but today when I enter the info it just comes back to the entry page with the order number and VIN wiped out. Tried a different browser with the same result and even a private browser window -...
So I originally placed my order on 8/17 for a hybrid XLT with stuff, then revised my order on 9/15 to a Lariat with stuff. I think my order date is still considered to be 8/17 but know some changes - depending on timing - can bump the order date to whenever the last change was made - but I...
So I've got a Samsung S21. My previous phone was an S10 and before that I had an S7. Each had a bump up in charging speed, from the normal rate for a USB/microUSB(or whatever) to a USB/USB-C (fast charging) to my latest phone with it's "super fast" charging when using the 25W wall charger...
I placed my original order for a Mav hybrid XLT on 8/17, but then revised it on 9/15 to a Lariat w/Lux pkg to get a few features that I wanted (primarily push button start and adaptive cruise control) for the long-term since I plan to keep this thing for at least a decade.
Now that hybrids are...
So, guys, I've been partial to Fords in earlier years. I inherited a '76 Maverick from my parents when I was 16, then bought an '86 Tempo new, inherited/"bought for a dollar" an '86 Taurus from my parents and had a '96 Windstar before ending up with a new 2006 Ridgeline whose untimely end in Jan...
So does this one count? Starting my driving in '80 with this '76 version and drove it until I bought my first car, a new '86 Tempo 2-door with 5-spd manual in May 1986. Summers in Memphis with no A/C weren't the most enjoyable drives. Vinyl seats. No P/S. Straight 6 cyl. Probably 3-spd trans...
