  1. Location to tap into center brake light wire?

    The brake light switch behind the brake pedal is really tucked away so I am looking for another location to tap into the wire. I am running a Ready Brake tow bar with surge brake that mechanically pulls the Maverick’s brake pedal. To verify it is working properly a wire needs to run from the...
  2. Airing down for dirt/gravel road

    The road to the White Mountain Peak trailhead is 36 miles roundtrip. The road has a reputation of severe washboard conditions and sharp rocks in some areas that can cause flats. I’m thinking about airing down my stock 225/65 17’s on my FWD hybrid XLT for just this road to 25 pounds and inflating...
  3. Has anyone installed the A-Premium mud flaps?

    They are getting 4.5 for Amazon reviews and they are dual PP/TPE composition like the Mabett’s. Personal taste here, I don’t like how far out of the body line and how long the Mabetts are, but I like how both flex in the bottom half. Yes, I’ll probably have apply some paint protection film with...
  4. Control arm replacement after axle replacement?

    Well two weeks ago my dealer replaced the right front axle under warranty on my 2022 hybrid, but a clunking still remains when turning hard left. Back at the dealership they now say I need my right lower control arm replaced for $1,250. I ask if they can just replace the bushings and I am told...
  5. Costco / Kirkland full synthetic oil is not certified for use in any Ford

    Yes, I know this seems hard to believe, but Kirkland full synthetic lacks the required Ford WSS-M2C962-A1 specification that is in your owners manual. WSS is a Ford specific requirement and putting the wrong oil, even if it is the right viscosity could void your warranty. Do you have to use...
  6. Hood flutter in 40 mph headwind

    I thought I didn’t have the hood flutter issue until I drove into a 40 mph headwind. The TSB fix is to install a self adhesive foam block piece at the rear of the hood.

  8. Ready to flat tow your Maverick hybrid behind your motorhome?

    Roadmasterā€˜s baseplate prototyping process is complete and should be available for sale around March 18. My truck was the second and final truck in the process and was completed Friday, Feb 4.

  9. Road bike won’t work with 2x4 hack in the bed of a Maverick

    If you have a road bike the 2x4 with skewers mounted to it and place in the front bed grooves hack won’t work for you šŸ˜ž. With a road bikes handlebars goes forward from the headset, so the handlebars won’t clear the rear window. You can use a trailer mounted hitch, place one in the rear seat with...

  17. Anyone install an aftermarket hard folding tonneau cover?

    Leaning towards the BAK Flip MX4 as BAK Flip actually makes Ford’s folding cover under its other brand name REV. It is less $$$ than buying from Ford and the warranty is 5 years vs Ford’s 3 year. Xtang 2.0 looks like another quality cover as well (sure there are others too). I am really...

    I know it is actually built by the module tracking, but today expected delivery went from ā€œTBDā€ to 12/17! The tracker shows in production 11/10, and not built or shipped? XLT, 360 and trailer hitch only, damn I hope the expected delivery date is even close to right.
