After removing the real speaker panels for the fifth time, I have finally solved my rear speaker rattle issue. There was no rattle with the stock speakers of course, but after installing a four channel amplifier (with powered sub-woofer), I was forced to turn down the rear balance to not...
I have made this video to set the record straight, hopefully once and for all.
This is my first and probably only YouTube video (my Wife did the editing). It's not highly refined, but it clearly shows when the driveshaft to the rear differential engages and disengages.
There is a tremendous...
So I got my Steeda sway bar for an early Christmas gift from my wife. The Steeda site says this sway bar only applies to 2.0L AWD mavericks, as they haven't got their hands on a 25 AWD Maverick yet. Here is proof that it does fit the Hybrid AWD's also.
Even though this Steeda bar is almost 1mm...
So, I once again spend way too much time on a project. I figured that if Ford was still spending an extra dollar on the AWD PTU air scoop on the factory felt belly guard, Ford must feel it's VERY important, especially given that Ford now feels that logos and a keypad are a bridge to far for a...
For those gearhead types, here are some pictures of what a 2025 Hybrid AWD underside looks like.
The good news is that all the fluid change maintenance look pretty easy to get to.
Can anyone tell me how to keep the EV coach as the default start up screen in the information on demand section (to the right of the speedometer) at start up and to stay that way?
Right now I have to shuffle through the information that I set up in the "My View" to get it to show up.
My...
I removed the bed cubby airlift compressor from my 2023 and installed in into my 25 AWD. As this is a low volume/ low pressure system, I needed a separate compressor for my tire pump duties. On my 2019 Ranger, I used the high pressure compressor for the suspension duty also, but rigging up the...
I'm in the process of upgrading the stock non-B&O stereo system on my 2025 XLT, but I'm stuck. I have installed new door speakers and a powered subwoofer and I
am now trying to find a place to mount a Kicker key 4 channel amp. I purchased a break out harness (and the amp) from plug N play kits...
So I picked up my new 2025 XLT hybrid AWD last Friday and so far, so good, except for one thing. I am not able to use navigation through voice commands. Android auto is functioning properly, I have enabled Alexa through Amazon, I have activated Ford's premium connectivity. When I hit the voice...
Can anyone with access to the 2025 Maverick part numbers confirm (or not) that the the 25 will use the same part # MX7118D804GE for the standard non-BO radio module as the 22-24 model years ?
I will be installing a powered subwoofer behind the back seat, just like I have done in my 23, and I...
I have a 2025 that is been in production for about a week and a half. I have read several conflicting stories regarding whether the 2025 Maverick will be on a six week quality control hold, as some other Ford new and updated models have been.
I think the best indicator of fact on this matter...
I don't know if this is a new development or not, but I can find no reference to it in a search of the forum. I've been waiting for backordered axels for my hybrid Maverick for over three weeks now. I stopped driving it two days after the axels were ordered as the shaking was getting bad and...
I purchased a https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019Z3RFGY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
Rockville 8" self powered subwoofer.
I also purchased a plug and play front speaker system https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DWF6NBY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
I'm not documenting that, as many...
I had wishfully hoped that I wouldn't need to go this route, but my wish was NOT granted. After adding my bed storage system and considerable weight in tools
and supplies, the rear height had dropped about an inch. That in itself was not a problem, as it pretty much just leveled the truck...
I pondered several solutions before I settled on this. Every mind experiment I did kept coming up with simpler solutions.
My first Idea was to build a wood DECKED type setup, but that would have been a great deal of work and had very little flexibility.
My second idea was a plywood divider...
I've search the forum and google it, but can't find an answer.
Can Ford audio receive and respond to text by voice (with or without android car play) ?
This function works great in my 2019 Ford Ranger with sync 3, but does not appear to be available with Ford audio that is found in the...
So I have a problem. I could have sworn I was a technique for adjusting the tailgate to the second height available (the one higher than the wheel wells), but I guess I must have dreamt it up.
I'm going to build a tool box to the height of the higher of the two locations to hold all my...
