To continue where I left off: Nov 10th the dealership tech heard the strange front end sound and acknowledged it was not normal. Nov 17th the dealership put a different set of tires on the vehicle and verified the tires were not the issue. Nov 29th they claim that their earlier assumption that...

Well this has not turned out as simply as I would have liked. I got the truck back after the front axles were replaced and immediately noticed a strange humming sound when the hybrid regen/braking kicks in, which was not there before. Its most obvious at highway speeds (60-70mph). Took it to...

I dropped by the dealership and they were able to get me in next day. I guess something to be said for pleading your case (politely) in person. Also yep it was the axles. They are being replaced under warranty today or tomorrow. The person I talked to from the ford dealership was pushing a...

I just recently started getting front end vibration under acceleration on my 2024 Hybrid Maverick. Truck has 35800 miles on it and the soonest the local dealer can even look at it is Nov 11th and no loaners available till the 17th. Should I basically park it till then to avoid going out of the...

Its just the low profile aeroskin protector, but it definitely makes a night and day difference on bug impacts on the windshield, more then I would have thought.

I only put diesel in my hybrid, really helps with the fuel efficiency.

My bug deflector has saved my windshield at least a couple times, saw a grape sized rock get deflected off and just barely clear the trucks roof. It definitely cut down on the amount of bugs hitting my windshield too. Left a mark in the deflector, but I'm sure it would have been a nasty dent in...

Yeah on my 2022 I just cut a small portion to get the plug out. My 2024 actually has a cutout already.

I surprised to see the number of people with 23 hybrids saying they still have this issue. I had the same problem, plus a few others, like surging and clunking/jerking when slowing down to a stop. But that was on my 22 hybrid. The 24 hybrid I have has had none of those issues.

My local mechanic does it for $55, full synthetic. He uses Pennzoil platinum. Typically I do it myself though, just more convenient.

I suspect a lot of the negative reactions are coming from the fact that BEVs are effectively being forced on people. With some states claiming they will ban the sale of ICE vehicles in some years. Any kind of forced cooperation is going to get backlash, its human nature. One negative of this...

I get that you are all enthusiastic about this and thats cool. but the fact still remains that EV manufacturers who have been in the game way longer then ford are saying its pretty close to impossible at the current state of EV tech to produce a EV under $30k with reasonable range. Its the ford...

Ford claimed they lost $36k on every EV they sold last quarter... how in the world do you think they will produce a low cost EV when they are losing money on high dollar EVs? This is definitely a I will believe it when I see it kinda thing. As for if I would buy one at $25k-$30k and the $7500...

Ah ok thanks, yeah I just confirmed that with a call to ford marketing. rollover private offers only work on the rollover order.

So the Maverick I ordered is supposed to get delivered to my dealer in a week or two. I had ordered an XLT lux, and at the time (estimating a 1 year order to build date) trading in the vehicle I had would have made it a wash price wise. Now it seems used cars have dropped a bit and my current...

I'm always a little surprised to see posts like this. I have 42k miles on the original continentals, fronts are getting close to the wear indicator and the rears still have plenty of life. Have not rotated the tires once, although I will soon to max the wear on the rear tires. My driving is 75%...

So what you are telling me is my tonneau cover is literally paying for itself.

I think they mean via the forums private messaging system, its the little mail envelop button in the upper right corner.

The electric motor is pretty much helping any time the battery is full enough to provide power. There is an EV coach that helps you see when the engine would come on, so you can try and stay in EV mode as long as you can. Its a fun game at first... but gets old after a while.

Yes, there is a pretty good post someone did a while back. I think the guy was a detailer. Anyhow if I recall right it was 3-5 mil thick in various places. Pretty thin stuff. EDIT: found it...
