  1. 1 year, 130k mile review from a heavy hauler

    tl;dr: The Maverick is fairly decent hardware, with atrocious firmware and rubbish software. Now if you're planning to read the whole thing, I advise popcorn. 🍿 Meet F-050 Super Dudey. It is a 2025 XLT Hybrid FWD, in Space White Metallic, purchased 7-1-2025. I use it to tow trailers around...
  2. Removing bed and cab plastics for a custom bed cover

    I am curious who has removed these (long-term), and what they’ve done about water, which to my understanding, gets under the roof rail, then behind the cab rail, and finally leaks into the bed near the front? This is something I am in the planning stages for: a custom wood bed cover. Why wood...
  3. Strange HVB behavior

    2025 XLT Hybrid, FWD. I run a ScanGauge, and so I have access to the "HV State of Charge" readout from the computer. I know all about how Li-* batteries work, and that computed SoC is only a guess, so let's get past that part. In my Prius, (a 2017 Two-Eco with the Li-Ion pack), whatever SoC I...
  4. Anyone do CAD/CAM? I want to design a custom bed cover

    As the title implies, I’m dreaming up a custom bed cover. Current idea is to make it with wood, though aluminum might be in the future if I can find someone to weld and powder coat. To be clear, I’m not looking for a freebie, I do expect to pay for the design.
  5. Removing roof antenna: concerns, codes?

    I do of course mean on a permanent basis, not temporarily, as I am installing a CB antenna in it's place, but I wonder, with the smarts inside the antenna housing that others have shown, whether anything is going to freak out. I have already removed the fuse for the telematics module, so I...
  6. Contemplating a front passenger seat delete

    Search results for "seat delete" are all talking about the rear seats, but I'm curious if anyone has deleted the FRONT passenger seat. Why? I run hotshot, and I want to keep the back seat for sleeping, but I need somewhere to keep my cooler. (Iceco JP50) Doesn't quite fit behind the seat...
  7. Testing premium fuel in the hybrid

    As I observed in this thread, the hybrid Maverick rarely runs the engine at Calculated Engine Load of higher than 70%, comparing to the 2017 Prius I owned which regularly ran at or above 95% load nearly any time the engine was above 1300 RPM. Hypothesis: the larger engine, with the same...
  8. Tuning the hybrid for greater efficiency

    Hello, new to the forums and the Maverick, but not hybrids, I have previously owned a ‘17 Prius. I am also one of *THOSE* people who ran dual ScanGauge II and obsessed over the little details of how the thing worked, and comparing the two, it seems like Ford left some efficiency on the table...
