What “traction motor”? There’s ICE, Two electric motor/generators, battery, the planetary gears, and a controller. The battery doesn’t have to be in use for any particular speed or load. The battery can be used to add torque if needed, mostly for acceleration or to store braking energy. One...
You don’t understand how Fords eCVT works. It uses a planetary gear system to ADD the torque from the gas motor to the torque from an electric motor to produce the output. There’s an electric motor on the output side as well. The motor on the output side can also act as a generator and that’s...
On the Facebook group "Ford Maverick Owners (2022+)" there is a report from multiple people that their Maverick is turning on in Reverse, meaning that the dial indicates it is in Reverse and you can't do anything (can't start it) until you put it into park. Some report this only shows on the...
Problems is that all the Tremor GOLD colors are a little different. Ford wasn’t so careful at coordinating them. I’ve scanned pictures of 5 different gold highlights and have 5 slightly different color numbers for them.
Here’s what I have got:

My first Tremor tank full produced about 21 MPG. That’s at an altitude of 5000 feet, a lot of ideling sitting in the truck playing with controls and plenty of stop & go.
I predict sooner than that. The Tremors were under ordered so they should fulfill orders sooner than later. How big is your dealer? Their allocation might have the most to due with timing.
I believe the Maverick has a two stage button, if you press it just a short ways down it only moves till you let up, if you press it all the way down and then let up it does the full down. You can feel that little bump in button force about half way down, at least that’s been my experience...
Now that I have my Tremor the highlights are really closer to gold than orange. A straight orange just doesn’t match. It’s really a yellow gold with just a hint of orange. Edit: the front trim is metallic.
Here’s what I’ve bought so far! Don’t know if I’ll use them all. Let me know if you’d like a picture of anything.

XLT is just Black Onyx denim while the Lariat is Active X (leather like) material.
The XLT does have Active X steering wheel and console lid. I have the Lux package so I’m not sure if some of that only comes with Lux.
I believe it is specifically $500. It is likely only certain dealers that are linked up with Costco. Costco membership also gives you 15% off on many service charges.
I was also able to get the Farm Bureau discount too which may vary from dealer to dealer. My dealer called the Costco $ a...
If you check Fords online status on your build you’ll learn the current status about a day before you get an email about it. That was my recent experience. It also took them a week after the build was done for it to ship. That will vary depending on how full their rail cars are when yours get done.
The Eagle has landed! I was pleasantly surprised that it only took 2 weeks and a day to get here!
Rail Tracking didn't work at all. I got the Rail car number from the dealer but it never produced any useful information. CSX just said the car was empty and in Canada! Maybe the route was different...
