After 3 replacement EFL batteries in my 23 Hybrid, the 4th was AGM in December 2025. I had all known recalls and TSB done at that time, and had the trailer lights recall done 2 months go. About 5 months ago, I started desulfating and fully charging it every 2 weeks with a 10A smart AGM...

Has anybody been running the new API SQ / ILSAC GF7 Oil? On the EcoBoost the much improved LSPI resistance especially in old oil should mean that the fuel map can be improved for better mileage and horsepower. On the Hybrid the improvements in lubricity should translate into improved mileage...

OK, I'm in right now for the 4th battery in my late-23 Hybrid. This is getting really tedious. All modules were updated to latest last month, and they blew the TCU while doing the updates. Much as I love my Mav, I'm spending a lot more time in the dealer waiting room than I ever expected.

I see there is a new 12V BMS available, part# LX6Z-10C679-C from the Ford parts dept. replacing previous part#s LX6Z 10C679B; LX6T-10C679-BG; LX6T10C679BG; LX6Z 10C679B; LX6Z-10C679-B; LX6Z10C679B; LX6Z10C679C My BMS happens to be the third one on the list of older BMS units. I am also aware...

Is it just my experience, or is this website hanging for everyone? This is about the 8th time in the last couple of weeks that I've been stuck for half a minute or more, waiting for it to complete an unknown action. I just had it happen again while trying to log out.

Just in case you don't think that this little truck does not haul much, here is a load of 60cu.ft. of mulch fitting below the bedrails. I'm pretty confident that I could easily put 100cu.ft. in the bed with a tarp, and another 20cu.ft in the rear seat area. Unlike a bigger truck, the...

Here is the first article that I've seen on the problem of screen-only controls like Ford moved to on the 25 Maverick: https://www.pcmag.com/news/volkswagen-to-bring-back-physical-buttons-to-all-vehicles IMHO on-screen knobs and buttons for commonly used controls are dangerous, requiring you to...

Just caught this article this morning, claiming that Toyotas in particular pollute almost as much as non-electrified vehicles when measured in real-world scenarios. https://thedriven.io/2024/04/18/toyotas-plug-in-hybrids-emit-four-times-more-co2-than-company-claims/

Has anybody tried using a larger offset without a lift kit? How much offset can you put on a Maverick with stock 60-series tires? I have a set of 18x7.5 et54 rims with a 108 bolt circle from a Fusion. I know I can't use the much lower profile 40-series tires without messing up my speedo to the...
