  1. Call to action: Call your dealer and ask when they will install the traction calibration update for 2025 Hybrid AWD

    Ford apparently has an available traction control system update for the 2025 Maverick Hybrid AWD as noted in this thread. It will allow the hybrid AWD truck to finally pass the one wheel only traction test which might be very important this winter. There has not been any feedback that I've seen...
  2. What to do if your brakes fail...

    There was a thread where a poster reported regardless of how hard or often his brakes were pumped, there was no effect in slowing the truck. It resulted in a crash. So what do you do in that circumstance? - Use the eBrake as it is intended to provide an emergency back up if your brakes fail...
  3. Getting the Mav to stop turning on the AC at startup

    For my MY25 XL hybrid, I discovered that all I have to do to prevent the AC from coming on EVERY time I start up the truck, which it consistently did, is to turn the fan setting to 0 before I shut the truck down. The Ford Ai assistance bot had a different opinion, as it said turning off the AC...
  4. Any noted MPG differences between Maverick Adaptive Cruise, Standard Cruise and Driver Control??

  8. I saw my first Maverick TV Ad Today

    I watch local broadcast stations for the local news and weather, and low and behold, this morning there was a Ford Company (not a dealer) truck advertisement. They mentioned the Ranger and the Maverick BEFORE the F-150. All other Ford truck ads I've seen were for the F-150. This was the first...
  9. Maverick New Vehicle Overview with Ford Rep

    I was contacted by Ford to do a virtual meeting with a "subject matter expert" for any questions or feature explanations. Doing my homework up front, I had a list of topics. Few to none could be answered, like does "slippery mode" get better mileage? "Eco mode is designed for that" was the...
