  1. Lurching while stopped

    I have a 22 Lariat Hybrid. It does this from time to time. Did it yesterday so it was fresh in my mind when I saw this post. The issue is that when the engine is running, the transmission gears are spinning EXCEPT the one providing power to the wheels. Only thing holding you still is the...
  2. Towing a 1000lb trailer with a Hybrid Maverick, 2000+ mile round trip, across 8 states in 2.5 days.

    I noticed that for tow/haul as well. Unless you're maxing out your towing capacity, tow/haul isn't always beneficial. On flat land once at highway speed, normal works fine and gives you more engine free coasting where the gas engine in tow/haul will stay running.
  3. Towing a 1000lb trailer with a Hybrid Maverick, 2000+ mile round trip, across 8 states in 2.5 days.

    With the ECVT, there isn't 'gears', so the only thing really changing is the 'default' pedal response. You need more power to pull the trailer, so pressing the pedal harder in normal is just the same as lightly pressing it in tow/haul. The only real difference in tow/haul is that the gas engine...
  4. I got one.

    If the rattle is from the front... check the plastic cover over your radiator where it comes up to your hood. Mine was loose from day one and strong bumps can cause it to rattle. It's a hard plastic on metal rattle. The clips are loose. Also, the rear wheel wells have no protection from...
  5. 2022 Maverick Hybrid started spontaneously.

    As mentioned by another, the gas engine in a hybrid only runs when necessary. Even on 'remote start'. If you press it in the FordPass app, the car will turn on. But it doesn't start the engine. Once it goes through the boot-up and starts activating and checking all its sensors if it needs to, it...
  6. Would you buy an EV maverick for 25-30k?

    You missed the part where he said he liked being able to run tools off the truck. Guess right now he's using a generator. So, that's another engine plus gas for it.
  7. Calling all that are happy with little to no issues!

    I have a 2022 Maverick Lariat Hybrid, ordered September 2021 and received it in January 2022. Love the truck. Had a few oddball things, primarily with the infotainment system. But, otherwise it's been what I've wanted. 37,000 miles on it. Averaged over 40mpg since day one. And that includes a...
  8. What is the purpose of the gap in the truck bed?

    As others have said, it's joint from making the trim in multiple pieces. Instead of forcing 'perfection' connecting the two and risking a seam for water to leak down into the metal layer directly, it overlaps, and allows some movement. I'm guessing the gap is to make sure that there's never a...
  9. Hate to be the bearer or bad news but the Maverick has for our family, proven to be unreliable in the worst way. No start condition on multiple HEV

    MY22 with nearly 30k miles on it. Trouble-free hybrid. And I've had it parked for weeks at a time where it 'shuts down' to preserve battery. Because all the electronics keep having some power go to them the entire time the truck is 'off'. Eventually without the engine running, it will draw...
  10. Cracked Windshield

    In Ohio, comprehensive claims don't raise your rates. I had a tree land on my car once and didn't pay a cent and my rates never rose.
  11. Cracked Windshield

    Well, it finally happened. Was on the interstate, quite far from the work van ahead of me, but a rock kicked up and smacked my windshield right near where the mirror mount is located. I didn't see the rock, but i heard it hit and it hit hard. I looked around and at first didn't see a crack, but...
  12. 38,000 mile summary. BEWARE: ISSUES GALORE!

    I have a Lariat, but it's similar in the XL and XLT. It's a screen that shows you the current energy output and what it's from. Also, shows you when you're not using any power, how much battery charging you're doing through braking or coasting. It also pops up when you come to a full stop. It...
  13. To higher octane or not ?

    That seems a little excessive for the variation. Usually mine averages about 41-47 depending on whether I'm doing a lot more highway driving on a tank . And my fill up is fairly consistently 1 to up to 2 mpg off. With this truck, they tell you not to top off, and sometimes a few stations near...
  14. 38,000 mile summary. BEWARE: ISSUES GALORE!

    1st, it sounds like you have a bad build. Not necessarily a bad experience for everyone. Recalls will be a thing with almost any manufacturer, so that's not really a 'negative'. It would be a 'positive' if there weren't any recalls. But, odds are they're going to find something after the fact...
  15. How long do you plan to keep your Maverick?

    I bought it to have it. I'm not just long term renting it.
  16. Ohio license fee?

    I got my maverick back in early 2022, and when I registered it the clerk didn't even find Maverick in her options. All she could find was that it was a half ton pickup and asked if it was gas or diesel. I said gas. It was registered for the same price as my F150. Renewed this year for the same...
  17. 80 mph Wobble, infotainment glitches

    Flux Capacitor was broken in mine. No problems at all. If you've got a wobble either something is loose, misaligned or you have a broken radial.
  18. Why is there carpet in the first place??

    My 87 F-150 has hard plastic on the floors. Which is fine until it's rainy/muddy and you climb in. Have to be careful not to go flying when you step and your foot moves. However, for cleanliness and easy of use, I prefer it. Just wish it was something more textured (though I think the plastic...
  19. Rear ended in my 2023 Lariat Tremor... Sub 1500 miles

    As others have said, it's really going to be which shop you take it to. Do they have a frame straightening bay? And will they stand by their work for the insurance to consider it? And is the cost less than the cost of the Maverick? One good thing is that the price of your truck is probably MORE...
  20. Oil life not accurate?

    Though I have a hybrid, my recommendation is to actually pull the dipstick and look at it. Lol Modern engines and modern oil (especially if you're using synthetic) are so ridiculously better than the stuff we used 20-30-40 years ago. Also these much smaller engines handle oil a lot better. Far...
