  1. Issue: exterior temperature stopped displaying and CEL light on

    Yes the Auto Climate did not work. Had to have a new sensor installed. Looks like someone bumped me in a parking lot just right -- close examination shows some minor cosmetic damage and it was enough to damage the sensor.
  2. Issue: exterior temperature stopped displaying and CEL light on

    Sounds like I've got a good strong consensus just to take it in to my dealer -- which I've got an appointment to do! Thanks for the input, folks. I'm sure not comfortable removing the front fascia to troubleshoot this problem. Just thought it might be somewhere easily accessible that I could...
  3. Issue: exterior temperature stopped displaying and CEL light on

    I took delivery of my Ecoboost Mav three months ago, and have been very been pleased. But, just today, I've had a little hiccup that I'm thinking a forum member might be able to save me a little time with. The exterior temperature stopped displaying (which triggers a check engine light...

    I ordered this from Amazon (sorry for no link): JMTAAT Foldable Pick Up Truck Bed Hitch Extender Extension Rack Canoe Boat Kayak Lumber w/Flag 400-Pound Capacity
  5. 45 Day Owner Review of Maverick XLT

    I may play with how the two kayaks sit in the bed to ensure they shift the least, but there's just so many places for straps -- it's easy to get them snug and maintain visibility, etc.

    My guess is your lab will have no problem sticking her snout out that window and enjoying the ride!
  8. 45 Day Owner Review of Maverick XLT

    I hope to get you a picture today, time permitting. Definitely an easier setup that the one you posted with your Fiesta. I suspect you'll feel safer on the road, too. In advance, this is the extension I ordered -- not so smart on links, but you should be able to copy and paste this into...
  9. 45 Day Owner Review of Maverick XLT

    Will do. Just might be a few days with Thanksgiving travels.
  10. 45 Day Owner Review of Maverick XLT

    I'm not a tire guru, but they don't have very much road noise, I haven't noticed any slippage in the rain, and they've been fine the few times I've been on a dirt road. Honestly, I don't see any compelling reason why I'd swap them out at this point. I'd probably feel different if I lived...
  11. 45 Day Owner Review of Maverick XLT

    Arkansas deserves much of its reputation -- but it gets a bad rap, too. I live in the northwest/north central part of the state and can drive to multiple state parks, lakes, small mountains in 15 minutes or less. It's a beautiful slice of the country and the cost of living isn't too bad, either.
  12. 45 Day Owner Review of Maverick XLT

    I just fiddled with that little center head rest -- I couldn't find a quick/easy way to remove it, but I'm not very mechanically inclined. It felt like one piece, but I could be wrong. It probably matters as to the size of your dog how it will impact things. It really doesn't protrude above...
  13. 45 Day Owner Review of Maverick XLT

    I forgot to mention how much I like the heated seats and the heated steering wheel on the Maverick! I definitely don't regret those two upgrades.
  14. 45 Day Owner Review of Maverick XLT

    I never really utilized the side-opening tailgate, so I guess I don't miss it. I know the shorter stature of the Maverick makes it really handy to utilize the bed, so I think that makes it even with the Honda. As for the under-bed compartment, I will miss that -- a very handy feature. Most of...
  15. 45 Day Owner Review of Maverick XLT

    I definitely believe the Ridgeline was quieter, but cabin noise has never been something I'm too picky about. Of course, I also play music virtually every moment I'm in the vehicle, so I rarely notice the cabin noise! I've owned several Hondas and like you, I know they are reliable. But I...
  16. 45 Day Owner Review of Maverick XLT

    All right, forgive the poor pics and formatting -- I'm not an expert at posting to any forum . . . but I do feel for everyone waiting on their hybrids and other Mavericks and felt like I should give you a bit of a "long-term" review since I've had my Maverick since October 11. I've included the...
  17. Backup Camera/Tailgate Down

    That is true -- you'd get a pretty clear reading on how straight you are to the hitch. I think it goes out of frame prior to being where you need to be to seal the deal, but you'd get close.
  18. Backup Camera/Tailgate Down

    I don't have a picture to show you, but I experimented with that yesterday (I took delivery of my XLT on Monday). The backup camera, while still functioning with the tailgate down, simply provides you with a useless photo of your trailer/hitch and the pavement below. If you are truly intending...
