  1. Quality Seat Covers?

    Your seat covers look like they fit the same as mine. There is a slight gap between the cover and the seat on the upper cover, but it hasn't been an issue for me. I usually don't expect a universal type seat cover to conform exactly. But they do fit in the areas I care about like the edge that...
  2. Changed the eCVT transmission fluid in my Hybrid Maverick

    I have one of these I use for filling my boat lower unit and the differentials on my Expedition works great. It won't fit the larger openings on the Mercon containers so you would have to transfer the fluid to a regular quart bottle. Then pump for a while to get 4 qts in there. Just...
  3. Changed the eCVT transmission fluid in my Hybrid Maverick

    I used a hose and a funnel I made for this kind of job. You could use a hand pump, but that's a lot of pumping to get 4 qts in there.
  4. Changed the eCVT transmission fluid in my Hybrid Maverick

    After reading about 4WD PTU units being underfilled from the factory, I decided to go ahead and change the fluid in the eCVT yesterday. I have 14,000 troublefree miles and was doing my third oil change at the same time while I had the splash shield off. I found a couple of things I was not...
  5. Are tailgate assists necessary on an aluminum tailgate?

    I drove about a year without one thinking it wasn't really necessary. After dropping the tailgate a few times with both hands full, then trying to catch it on the way down this was a good way to leave a big scratch on my new truck. I figured I would spend $30 and get one. One of the best add-ons...
  6. Can you default hybrid start up to Eco mode

    I've tried Eco mode several times. As far as I can tell it will increase the amount of regen braking (the truck slows faster when you let off the gas pedal) But I can't tell any difference in throttle response from Normal mode. I find I can get my best MPG (my best is 60 mpg on my 20 mile trip...
  7. DIY 2000 watt Inverter Question

    I mounted the SlimLine 1500W inverter behind my back seat. I've tested it with some small loads like a shop vac. I don't plan to push the limits of this set up. A pure sine wave will be more likely to handle the extra start up load if you're on the fence about PSW vs MSW. Be sure to connect the...
  8. Quality Seat Covers?

    I just installed these Coverado seat covers in my XL and I was really impressed with the fit and look of them. I just got the two front for $110 on Amazon. I already have a cloth cover on the back that fits well so I'm not going to mess with it. Time will tell how they hold up but they dress up...
  9. Video: 2022 Maverick Hybrid 2 Year Review - Would I Do It Again?

    If you wrestle with a pig long enough you realize the pig actually enjoys it :oops:
  10. Has anyone had Covid? [Admin Warning: NO POLITICS]

    When I read the OP I didn't realize it was from Aug 2021. I'm so glad to see MaverickAngler was able to recover. Your story about your good friend was nearly identical to what happened to my friend Aug-Sept 2021. I thought it may have even been the same person until you said he was a software...
  11. The skinny on the skinny spare

    I didn't think you could get a $400 trailer hitch and harness for a $100 option, but you can. A true full size spare would have cost Ford much less than the hitch did. Especially if it was a crappy temporary tire like they gave folks who checked the box. I know they want to cut corners but seems...
  12. The skinny on the skinny spare

    Yes, it is the stock Continental 225/65R17
  13. The skinny on the skinny spare

    This was my concern when I read about folks modifying the "sawtooth" bracket to make a true full size spare fit. I was planning to modify it myself when I found the tire would fit without any cutting or bending of the bracket. I'm not an engineer but I believe the bracket is designed to grab the...
  14. The skinny on the skinny spare

    I always assumed the optional full size spare was the same 225/65r17 that is on the other four wheels. So I was surprised when I found out it was a 215/60r17 which is slightly over an inch smaller diameter. Seemed like a no brainer for $115 more, but glad it didn't come with it after all...
  15. The skinny on the skinny spare

    After driving my hybrid for a year I finally replaced my steelie wheels with some aftermarket wheels and new tires. Since my truck didn't come with the "full size" spare that I ordered, my intention has always been to use one of the steelies as my spare. I read that some were having trouble...
  16. Another "oil change" question; sorry!

    I did my first oil change at 3000 mi on my hybrid to get the break in oil and metal specks out of there. I just did my second oil change 6000 mi later. The oil was a getting a little dark at that point so I'm going to settle at doing it every 5000 which will be twice a year with the amount of...
  17. This is what’s in store for EV owners [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    I'm sure when Model T drivers got stuck they were teased endlessly when the horse and buggy drivers pass them on a muddy dirt road. Just sayin' ;)
  18. Who has an Amazon tri-fold hard bed cover

    I didn't put the weather strip on the front edge. I think it's too thick and seems to seal better without it.
  19. Who has an Amazon tri-fold hard bed cover

    I got mine on Ebay but I believe it is the same as the $400-500 ones on Amazon. They are all identical in the pictures. Very nice for the money. I drove through a down pour last week and it didn't leak at all. More security than a soft cover. I keep my golf clubs in the bed so I needed something...
