I have never towed.
I use the hitch for a dual eBike carrier.
When I get the Fathom next year I will again not tow.
Alan said that the stats from the Maverick shows very small percentage tow.
All recalls are completed including the trailer module recall.
I have also verified there are No DTC codes via my Car Scanner (Android).
I just think this a scam to draw in owners for unnecessary service for a profit to the dealership.
This is from a Google Ai response to the question:
"FORD...
Never had a Diagnostic done at the dealership.
Only work done were Recalls and a SSM.
So is this some kind of dealer scam to scare people and drum up unnecessary service?
Same for me.
I also enable the "automatic high beams" which have worked flawlessly.
Also of note I have set DRL (daylight running lights) on.
That is the safety feature to be noticed in the daytime not high-beams.
The EV credit was a mistake from the start. First it targeted the wealthy or upper middle class who would actually benefit from it as they would have taxes that could be offset by the credit. Those who pay low taxes would only receive a small slice and those who are retired and have zero in...
No they discontinued it because they were losing money on every sale and saw no way to become profitable producing it hence canceling it and starting the skunk works program (4 1/2 years ago) and the Universal EV Platform that came out of that to produce profitable EV's starting in 2027.
Some questions on "Production by Plant"
#1: What is the "Stripped Chassis" that is made at the Detroit Chassis Plant?
#2: Is the "Super Duty" made at the Oakville (qty: 603) and Ohio (qty: 21,849) Plants different from the Ford F-Series Super Duty made at the Kentucky Truck Plant (qty...
Ford needed a production plant to completely strip to make room for the Universal EV production tree assembly lines.
They selected the Louisville Assembly plant where the Escape was produced.

What about if you had the Headlights ALWAYS on during a long drive say 8 hours.
The Headlights draw 20-30 watts (low/high) when on so minimally you would use 160 watt hours.
I am on my third battery in three years on my 2023 Maverick.
1st battery replaced under warranty March 25, 2025 with same Ford Battery BXT*99RT4*A
The replacement battery only lasted about a year and was dying over the last four months as every single day I was getting the "Deep Sleep" message...
My suggestion is to fully charge your AGM battery (hopefully with a charger that you can select AGM as the battery type) and when fully charged do the BMS Reset Procedure. Then lock the truck and let it sit for 8 hours overnight.
I made sure that my replacement AGM battery was fully charged...
Have you done the BMS Reset Procedure when you had the batteries replaced or when you manually charged the batteries?

Have you had the dealer install the SSM-54785 fix?
Maverick Hybrid Deep Sleep "Fix" - SSM 54785 (2022-2024 Maverick - 2.5L Hybrid - No Crank/No Start related to 12V Battery Drain That Has Discharged)
One more year.
At that time I will have had my MY2022, MY2023 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid for six years.
Reason for selling: I will be buying the Ford Fathom EV with AWD and the Extended Range Battery.
Primary reason for the ER battery: more power to home when Texas gets another ice storm with...
12v lithium replacements come with a lot of caveats:
The better and working solution for many (myself included) is to get an AGM battery replacement and do the BMS Reset after replacement.
Be sure SSM-54785 is done to fix the battery drain issue.
