Has anyone replaced the muffler on their Mav for a "more pleasing sound"?
I'm not talking about a cat-back system, just the muffler.
I'm thinking of taking it to a shop that I have used in the past. I want to also have a splitter exhaust tip like the '64 Pontiac GTO. I had a similar setup...
Has anyone heard about this new Maverick recall? It has to do with the dash breaking into shards of plastic during an accident and when air bags deploy.
It's supposed to apply to SOME 2025 & 2026 Mavericks.
I checked with NHTSA using my VIN number but no new recalls came up.
I took my Mav to the dealer that I purchased it from to ask about the radiator and fan recall. The service manager, after reading over the recall notice, she said that they couldn’t do the recall unless the truck showed the Diagnostic Trouble Code (P1285 – engine coolant overtempt). Then she...
Not being a HYBRID owner I didn't know this but I thought I should pass it on. Interesting and informative video. Worth a watch.
I didn't know there was an oil made especially for HYBRIDS.
Because of the change at the rear bumper, there are only one or two mud flap sets that fit the LOBO.
I wanted something that didn’t stand out like a sore thumb. I didn’t need large flaps since my truck will never do any serious off-roading and I plan on lowering the Mav at a later date. I...
IMO An EV Maverick would require considerable redesign to accommodate the battery pack due to it's unit body construction. The Lightning already has a separate frame and body so, I think, it is easier to change the frame to accept the battery pack.
The design has to start with the battery...
I would like to understand - what is the difference between the '25 LOBO and the other 2025 Maverick models that negates the fitment of mud flaps to the LOBO.
I know, I know, street trucks and autocross vehicles will look silly with mud flaps. (I just wanted to get that out of the way before...
We had a short rain storm come through today and it brought the temperatures down below 90 so I decided to install the LOBO logo.
First step was to clean the area with grease and wax remover. Next clean the area with alcohol.
I used a trimmed 2x4 and some shims to make sure the letters would...
Back in the day if you had a special model of car the manufacturer put a special badge on the car. Badges like "GT", "Cyclone", Grand Sport" were proudly displayed on the outside and interior.
Maverick has a small badge depicting the model on the front fenders but why not on the tailgate...
Thinking of installing a STRUT TOWER BRACE.
Do they really help?
Can you notice a difference?
Any brand preference?
At some point I will also be installing an adjustable rear sway bar.
Making one change at a time so I can evaluate the difference.
I'm planning on installing an HD rear sway bar. I have to do the work in the driveway and will probably remove the rear wheels.
Does anyone have a complete list of tools needed so I don't have to interrupt the project to run out to buy a tool I don't have?
I have jack stands and assume I can...
I have about 400 miles on the my Mav.
Today I had to go in for blood work at 7:30 am. I decided to take one of the main roads going through the Villages (FLA retirement community) which has three traffic circles that I have to go through to get to the lab. These circles are relatively small...
Anyone out there have experience with the Ford performance exhaust system?
Does it exit in the same place as stock?
What does it sound like?
Is it worth having the dealer install it?
I see that there are analog gauge displays in some of the MPG posts.
I can't seem to find the analog speedo and tach display in my '25 LOBO.
Are they there or did Ford eliminate them for '25?
My display does have a tachometer but it is a very small vertical slide sort of thing like you would...
Ordered a set of mud flaps for my '25 LOBO. They were supposed to fit but the rear ones didn't. Went to WEATHER TECH site and their listing specifically said they wouldn't fit the LOBO.
So where can I get, or, who makes mud flaps that fit.
I bought some flat mud flap material to fabricate...
Just bought a 2025 Maverick Lobo. Quite a difference from my 2022 VW GTI, but I needed a truck.
I've always has "special" cars and sports cars and I think this one could be both. I used to autocross when I lived in California and western New York with an ELVA COURIER and a VW Scircco. So...
