I'm thinking of upgrading my Michelin Primacy tires from 245/65R17 to 245/75R17. I'm thinking the only issue of concern would be rubbing and a slightly incorrect mph reading. I believe the mpg decrease would be inconsequential. My only reason is to fill up the wheel well a little bit and to give...
Anyone know of a low profile hood/bug deflector that doesn't attach using tape? I remember seeing a thread about a deflector that uses the Maverick's in place under hood attachments, but my club search came up with hundreds of threads that frankly would take me months to peruse. Tried Amazon...
I will be taking my 2022 Hybrid up to the mountains in Southern California for the first time this summer and would like to hear any advice about the best way to navigate downhill. Not too worried about going up, just coming down. My Hyundai Palisade has paddles and they worked great in...
No, not the discontinued Santa Cruz, but the Porter. Found an advertisement for it on Facebook, but nothing on Hyundai’s website., so who knows. One thing for sure, it begs design questions.
Inspired by @Darthie, I loved the look of the round driving lights mounted on his Tremor. However, I did not want to take the chance of removing the bumper only to discover the hybrid had no mounting holes for the bracket supports. Plus, the brackets were from one vendor and expensive ($60)...
In my desire to make my Maverick less prone to being rear-ended, I decided to install one of those trailer hitch brake lights that connects to the trailer light port. At the same time, I forgot about how the Maverick will disable the side traffic alert feature which is non-negotiable keeper. I'm...
Recently had the terrifying experience of almost rear-ending a completely stopped Tesla on the freeway. Traffic was on/off varying in speeds from 40-55 when the car in front of me came to a dead stop. I usually look ahead several car lengths and keep a good distance from the vehicle in front of...
I have pretty much maxed out my USB ports in the Maverick so I added a small hub for expansion. I plugged in a small Mabett fan as part of a cubby hole mod and it worked perfectly. About a day later, a message popped up on the Sync screen telling me USB hubs are not supported and I should remove...
Thought I'd pass along what might be a "fix" for the problematic LED brake/signal lamps that plagued the Maverick after the burnt out bulb recall Ford did. Release date is 5/21. Hopefully, the long wait from Lasfit will insure a working product...
Thought I'd pass this along. I was detailing the Maverick after exiting one of those auto car wash facilities when I happened to notice the newer Chevy Blazer in the stall next to me. It was obvious the car was well maintained, but what caught my eye was the tires. They were as shiny as a...
Seems there has been enough interest on the forum on how to get more air (warm or cold) into the rear compartment to warrant my post. There are vents under the front seats, but one has to wonder how well they work since they are located deep under the seat. I've seen other extenders that stick...
If you all remember, Ford did a recall regarding updating the bad bulb hyperflash warning system that rendered the LasFit LEDs on the Lariat hybrids virtually incompatible. I have yet to hear from LasFit about a working replacement. I still would like to replace the OEM incans with LEDs that...
I've seen many a thread about how the hybrid's 12v battery is woefully inadequate and after 34 months my OEM battery finally got the point where it wouldn't start the truck. Thanks to several members here, specifically @Glen Baker LLC, I found a AGM replacement battery from Amazon and installed...
Anyone know of a simple way to reset the check engine light without having to go to the dealer? Had a recent issue when trying to start the truck after sitting for 30 minutes. Battery didn’t show signs of failure just greeted with warning lights, pull over prompts, etc. Disconnecting and...
Looks like we're getting a bit more information about what to expect for the 2025 Mavericks as we get closer to seeing them on the lot. According to this reviewer the new Lariats will have cameras in the side mirrors giving a bird's eye view offered by the 360Âş Co-Pilot. I've had the pleasure of...
Hello. Anyone have any experience having PPF installed on their Maverick? Happened upon a Maverick review on YouTube and the reviewer mentioned having it done by XPEL. I sent away for a quote, but in the meantime would entertain member's thoughts.
According to iSeeCars, the Maverick ranks in as number 11 on a list of the 25 cars that have the most recalls. The Maverick is projected to have over 20 lifetime recalls which is more than 6 times the median for all cars. (The median is 3.2 recalls) The Maverick isn't alone either. The F-150...
Going through some old notes and saw this. Most likely from an old thread, but I thought it worth repeating for any new members.
10 Secrets of the Maverick
You are not to tow anything until you drive the truck 1000 miles.
The manual release for the fuel door is over the driver's side rear...
Hey, all.
Got tired of having my sunglasses rattle around in the dash tray (I have a sunroof, so no sunglass holder) and came across this little solution on Amazon. One day delivery and it fit like a glove. I was a bit apprehensive on how it would look, but I think it looks just fine . . . even...
