  1. Windshield sun shade - is the Ford one worth the $$?

    When I bought my Mav in early 24 I also bought a custom fit but cheap windshield sun shade on Amazon. Now it's gotten kind of floppy and the inner layer is flaking off here and there, so it's time to replace it. (Southern California sun is a killer.) I looked at the genuine Ford one and it's...
  2. OBD code P237F

    Yesterday I had the CEL come on (solid) on my 24 hybrid, soon after a several mile downhill. When my son drove it several hours later he noticed a smell which he thought was similar to ozone. Seems to be driving just fine though. I just checked the code and it is P237F. Has anyone here had...
  3. Hybrid 12v battery AC update - status?

    I haven't seen anything about the supposed fix for the 12v that updates the AC computer. My 2nd battery is also on its last legs. No saver mode yet, but it won't charge enough for the truck to leave the 12v port on like it should. (I even did 150 miles of back road driving and it didn't come...
  4. Truck doing truck things

    Picked up a cubic yard or so of raised bed soil. Maybe a bit more than I i tended to carry but at least it wasn't too wet and heavy here in SoCal.
  5. Service experience - not positive

    Let me say that I now re all why I hate car dealerships. My Mav reminded me to change the oil, and I had a couple warranty things for them to look at too (wonky rear seatbelt sensors, the dash rattle, and the 12v shutting off as soon as I take the key out i e , probable battery issue)) I used...
  6. FlexBed power - does yours stay on after exiting truck?

    Hi again - I added bed lighting to my 24 XLT hybrid, using the FlexBed pigtail. I am pretty sure that when I first did it in February, it would stay active for some time after I turned off the truck and exited. Now it turns off as soon as I open the door. Makes it much less useful. (So do the...
  7. How long until recall service shows on Ford Pass?

    Thr local dealer's remote service came on Friday morning to do the taillight recall. I just checked FordPass (Monday noon) and it still shows the recall as outstanding. How long did it take to update when you had a recall done?
  8. Good news/bad news after taillight recall

    Recently Ford got aggressive about doing the taillight recall on my 24 XLT hybrid (built 12/23). Emails, and then actual phone calls. Finally I said OK and they schedule the mobile tech for this morning. He showed up right on time, and it took 10 minutes, as advertised. Got in it this afternoon...
  9. Bluetooth won't reconnect with my phone anymore

    My truck is a 24 XLT hybrid with 360, and my phone is a Pixel 6a running Android 14. About a week ago, I noticed that the truck audio screen showed "pair a phone" on the screen instead of my phone's name, in the few seconds before it connected to Android Auto (using a generic AA wireless...
  10. Fuse for 12v socket on XLT dash

    Hi. I *think* a cheapo USB charger adaptor blew the fuse on the 12 v plug (what us olds would have called a cigarette lighter). Also probably the one on the back of the console. I looked in the manual but was pretty confused by the naming and didn't figure out which fuse(s) it is. Can any of you...
  11. Kofa National Wildlife refuge road trip w/ camping

    Last weekend my son and I took a road trip from the San Diego area to the Kofa National Wildlife refuge, a bit over 500 miles. The XLT hybrid did great, quiet and comfortable. It's a beautiful area if you ever make it out here (just be sure it's between October and April or you'll roast, maybe...
  12. Really cheap ambient lighting alternative

    If you have a 24 XL or XLT, here's a cheap alternative to get something close to ambient lighting for the console. The light on the switch turns blue when it is fully charged. Not super bright, but enough if it's a dark night. And under four bucks...
  13. Radio competing with Android Auto

    Today I plugged my phone in before starting my Maverick, and while it was connecting to AA the radio started playing, and kept playing after AA was loaded showing me Maps and YTMusic. I had to unplug the phone and change the source in Sync to get it to stop. Has anyone else experienced this?
  14. 1st longish drive - 44+mpg

    Got my truck (XLT hybrid) Wednesday, so today I took a drive from the San Diego 'burbs (565' elevation) over the mountains (4400' at Julian CA) and back down to about 500' in the desert near Borrego Springs, about 65 miles each way. Winding 2-lane highway all the way; no traffic to speak of...
  15. Open space in the front doors

    Does anyone know what the open space in the back of the front doors, behind the water bottle space, is for? It has a molded in bump like it is there for a reason, but I can't find any mention of it in the owner's manual. Thanks!
  16. It's at the dealer!

    Just got a call from the dealer - it landed today and I can pick it up in the morning. Cactus grey XLT, sunroof, copilot360. Ordered it when the banks opened 7/19, built 12/23, took just under 2 weeks to get from Hermosillo to San Diego. Looking forward to a nice drive out to the desert this...
  17. Tracking not working?

    I hadn't checked my order tracking in several weeks, but decided to try today since my XLT hybrid is scheduled for this week (week of 12/18). When I use the tracker at shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking and enter order number and VIN, the first click on "Accept and track" does nothing; the...
