HYBRID SPECIFIC HYBRID owners with data readers: Have you watched the following two parameter ID's (PID)? HV battery temperature Battery coolant temperature In mine, battery coolant hovers about the same as ambient. Warmer, but only 2 to 8 degrees. And if ambient goes up by three, the...

... to FULL manufacturer's rated volume. (If you want a consistent repeatable fill volume for any purposes you see fit.) Truck must be level within 0.5% grade. Must be 72°F plus or minus 3 degrees. Residual (existing) fuel in the tank must be 72°F plus or minus 3 degrees. New Plastic tanks...

Nice lowered XLT with BAP and more. Mud flaps. Cab spoiler. Nice low profile window rain shields. Tinted glass. Aftermarket wheels / tires. Is this you? I'd like better photos. This is my favorite truck I have seen in the wild. A+ Bearded Sir! Classy. Handsome look. (Truck too! 🧔🏼‍♂️) Wish we...

Because I tow a lot (25% of the time) and it looked easy to do, I changed my hybrid transmission oil. A) It was easy to do B) I think it was too soon C) I think I wasted time and money Oil was CLEAN. REALLY clean. Did not see much in the way of dirt or metal particles. I dredged the oil pan...

Today was 100°F. Maverick sat in a hot parking lot all day. So started out with a "warm" battery. Did ~40 miles of freeway. End of route has a long (3-4 mile) downhill stretch. Usually with stopped traffic at the bottom. This is one of the rare cases I sometime hit "L" button to slow down...

I have a 17 foot full feature travel trailer. One night I used the Maverick's built-in 120 VAC inverter to power the 120 VAC outlets in the RV. Powers a 36" TV, Blu-ray player, Ryobi tool battery charger, any small household accessories. Wife even found a one-slice toaster oven (flat not...

Saw this "Maverick" looking classic lunchbox totally by chance...

My 2022 FWD hybrid with aftermarket equipment pulled 4,000 lbs. up a 19% ""boat ramp" IN EV mode. STRICTLY A TORQUE TEST Not a recommendation you should do it. The hybrids have more than enough torque and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Measured 11 degree slope which pencils to a 19%...

Rotated tires today. 65,500 miles. Brakes look excellent. Like new. And I tow and haul a lot too! Who knows the new pad thickness? Ford says replace at 2mm and under. Driver Front: Driver Rear Passenger Front Passenger Rear:

Towed almost Max Trailer plus almost Max payload in truck. Plus it was windy half the time. Reset trip 1 and trip 2 before starting. Towed 1063 miles. Trip(s) said 15.5 MPG. Reset Trip 2. Left Trip 1 going. No payload. No trailer. Drove 1210 miles. Trip 1 (mixed) said 23.3 MPG Trip 2 (light...

I have been saying this for 20+ years but few believed me. Driver's weight (within reason) is NOT part of your truck's cargo carrying or towing capacity. Look at it this way. The driver is not a passenger. The driver is not cargo. The driver is needed to haul anything. So driver's weight (up...

It has been demonstrated that running headlamps increases 12v battery charging all the way to 100% in 2022-2024 hybrids. It has been demonstrated that running parking lamps charges the 12v battery to 100% in 2022-2024 hybrids. DRL only does NOT have this effect. Has anyone used Forscan to set...

When I say "carbs" what comes to your mind first? Poll attached.

Some of you will laugh. Some of you will cry. Some of you will say "Holy Crap that's amazing!" Some of you will say "Holy Crap that's dumb." Here goes. Fact: 2022 Hybrid (and others) actively drain a 12 volt battery to the computed 80% charge level. Then do not try to add charge to the 12 volt...

BYD of China now has EV's and EV "Flash Chargers". Flash chargers are apparently the next evolution above Super Fast chargers. On a 500 mile EV: 10% to 70% in 5 minutes. 10% to 97% in 9 minutes.

In these tough times... This single tip saves 20% gas. Drive 20 mph slower. Drive ~55 mph instead of ~75 mph. This can be done by choosing different similar routes or by pairing up with other slower vehicles in the right lane. Can be relaxing too! Will cost you minutes per day. Go nearly...

Give me a 35 MPH road that lasts forever and my hybrid will return 60 miles per gallon of gas. All day long. What will the 2.0 EcoBoost Maverick do in this situation? This was a less than ideal drive with a few stoplights and a few stop signs. But I get close to 60 MPG every day. AFE set to...

Who's got a 2" hitch receiver on the FRONT of their Maverick? If you can put a "baseplate" on the front and pull your whole vehicle with that, I should be able to put a cargo carrier, ice chest, winch, bike rack, or PUSH A LIGHTWEIGHT trailer into a garage or carport. Who's got one? Who's got...

I'm getting these errors frequently. At first thought it was due to poor internet connection over cellular. Nope. Does it when using Gig Speed fiber optic from AT&T also. Anyone else? Site is becoming almost unusable now. All hours of day or night. Same. Started about 1 week ago and has...

I put in an auto dimming rear view mirror. Any brand will work. All you need is 12 volt switched power. Easiest mod I've done since adding tailgate letters. Anyone have auto dimming side mirrors on their Maverick? Some trims of F-150 have them. And other makes & models have them. Any source...
