Yes- my 2023 Maverick Hybrid developed bad front axles at 57k miles. The Ford recall page said it was only on model years since '24. About 6 weeks ago I noticed a "shimmy" (for want of a better word) when I was going 60mph up a mountain. I thought the right front wheel threw a weight. When I...

Hah! Not at all. Did Taylor Sheridan write this article? I've owned 3 hybrids so far including a '14 Volt PHEV and I don't regret any of them. I've had the Volt 10 years. The only real trouble I have is with the local dealer. Over the 10 years I drove the Volt instead of my '07 Tacoma I saved...

Hey, does this sound familiar? My 23XLT FWD has started having a "shimmy" when I am going uphill "at speed" or accelerating strongly on level ground and feels like it is the right front wheel that is affected. . For example, when I go over Cowee or Balsam, it started a pretty strong shimmy...

Greetings Mav Folks! I've has my 23 XLT since April 2023 and like it very much! Averaging 45mpg commuting to Cherokee and back to Franklin.

I myself would love a Maverick PHEV, like my Volt. There should be plenty of space under the bed for batteries.

I average 42mpg in the mountains of WNC. Last year I drove to central FL to go fishing with my brothers. I averaged 75mph on the interstate and got 34mpg. MPG drops as speed increases, and the cycle of climbing and descending hills also give mpg a boost. I know a guy in my little town who is a...

That's great! I bought my Volt used with 29K miles on it, and the rear brakes were completely gone. I've put 100K on it since then, but I have no idea how much is left. I rarely drive the Volt because the Mav is more cimfortable.

I hope this is helpful. It's easier to understand if you've owned/driven an EV or a PHEV. You've likely noticed the % charged message when you come to a stop. That represents how much braking has recharged the battery. You may also notice the "Electric" message which means the truck us running...

No, mine did not.

I've tried both. I didn't notice much of an MPG increase with hightest. I don't notice much improvement with Economy mode either, but if I use towing or slippery, I do notice a decrease.

I am building water storage for my hobby farm. Here is Goose (Goose the Maverick, my idea of a joke) hauling two IBCs 75 miles home to my place. I noticed that my MPG dropped from 44 to 35 on the trip back. The little rascal is more aerodynamic than I thought, and the "totes" sure disrupted the...

I know it seems counter intuitive- using the defroster should only use heat. However, as I recall, most vehicles rung the A/C to dehumidify the air that then goes thru the heater coils. I too watch defrost cut MPG.

I ordered a 2022 in 2021. Ford cancelled that order and converted it to a '23 which I took delivery of in April 2023. I have 38K on it now. I still love it but am waiting for a shoe to drop.

I live in Macon County WNC (2 counties from Cherokee Co.) and I see them all over the place now. I waited 18 months for the '22 XLT I ordered which was converted to a '23. I ordered one without test-driving it because they were so rare 2 years ago. Now they always have at least one on the lot...

Not me. I'm 6' and it is much easier than my Tacoma (aka neck breaker).

I notice a 5mpg drop in economy when it gets cold and I do not run the heater. Battery efficiency, tire rigidity, lots of factors. The same happened with my Volt. It gets worse when I use the heater a lot, but not as much as you are reporting. Where you at?

Oh man, I hate that for you. I have no idea but hope there is a brand that's engineered better. Good luck!

I am with you. I waited 20 years for Honda to make a Ridgeline Hybrid. The Maverick was it. I can live without the AWD, but if Ford ever makes the Mav a PHEV, I'm trading! In the meantime, I have chains for the ice (but we haven't had ice in years). I have a tractor if I get stuck on the farm...

Perfect!!!!!!!!!!

LOL- I was going to say the exact same thing- the Mav is noisier than my Volt! I don't know about wind deflectors for wind noise. I installed them to let me crack my windows and have the rain stay out. I guess that would make them rain deflectors. I think they are slightly noisier than before...
