I learned today that there is a "new" type of battery used in many new vehicles. It is an Enhanced Flooded Cell battery that is using a polymer in its construction. The kicker is that its "full charge" spec it 12.4 Volts. Unfortunately I don't know how to tell the difference between that...
i'm getting tired of being jerked around like livestock at a RODEO. I moved here in 2019 and one dealership did all the maintenance on my 2016 F150. A/C went out and took it to the dealership for repair in April 22. They wouldn't touch it for 2 weeks as they held it hostage (this was...
I received a phone call Tuesday afternoon offering to do a necessary software on my 22 Lariat Hybrid. I was not too willing as its always a hassle to take the pickup to the dealer and hope they can keep their word. The voice said "how about tomorrow afternoon at your house" Your picking up my...
For health reasons the HVAC system in our Lariat needs to be in the Recirculate mode. Can the auto control be disabled in Forescan or can the door be disconnected in the Recirculate mode?
Had a Rivian parked next to me today (no pics, phone at home) He looked my ride over as I looked his over. He mentioned that he ordered it back in 2018 and it was delivered June of this year! Be glad your not waiting 4 years for your Maverick......yet!
I had an event that would have taken my car 1 1/2 hours of driving to get to OR 1 hour if I towed the car. I opted to use my Maverick as the tow vehicle and towed the car both ways. The pickup had plenty of power and I saw speeds up to 75 at times on the freeway. the milage did not take a...
I had some paint mixed for another project at the local PPG dealer. While I was there I asked about the paint cost for my pickup. The red base coat is about $2200 a gallon . The mid coat tinted clear was $1100 and the final clear was $ 880. OUCH

I was fueling up my Maverick and trying to get the pump to accept my CC when another person yelled and said a white pickup hit my Maverick. Sure enough there was paint missing from the bumper and the other vehicle was nowhere to be seen. Went for a repair estimate today. No wonder the other...
I have a Lariat lux that needs the front bumper repainted thanks to an airhead driver while I was parked. Both shops estimating the repair said the front sensor may need to be recalibrated after bumper R&R but did not know for sure. So I now have 2 "open" estimates for similar money to...
I want to tap into the dome light power circuit to power my Homelink mirror when the Ign is on. Am I running a risk? I will be splicing into the loom in front of the plug at the light.
My wife was at the local Ford dealer a couple of months ago looking for an escape or escort hybrid. She mentioned that I was planning to order a Maverick hybrid when ordering opened back up. Well the dealer didn't have the car she wanted so the salesman took her phone number.
