  1. 25K miles without tire rotation -- tread measurements for factory 18” Michelin Primacy A/S tires

    Probably, but it might be a bit challenging figuring out which tire to inflate/deflate when one is out of adjustment... The display might say the right front is low, so you add air, only to see that now the left rear is reading high. So you let air out of the left rear, and randomly choose to...
  2. Comma 3x OpenPilot installed

    Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "Comma 3x"? My google-fu appears to be weak this morning...
  3. Bob's Maverick Journey

    I really didn't want a soft cover, and was convinced I would get a quad-folding hard cover, like the one I had on my full-size HD truck. Then I saw the post-Covid prices for those things... And I decided I would give the MaxMate soft folding cover a shot. Basically, the price is a "rounding...
  4. Bob's Maverick Journey

    Aw, come on... Here in Texas, we drive further to go out to dinner than you would have to go to visit three other states. 🤣 But seriously, surely there's a SIBL place within range!
  5. Towing a 1500lb camper trailer with hybrid?

    That's one of the approximately one bazillion factors that goes into setting max tongue weight and max trailer weight. The traditional truck manufacturers (those whose vehicles are typically seen towing in the real world - Ford, Chevy, Dodge) are far more adept at making the kinds of...
  6. lane keep works half the time

    Yep - right behind the mirror. And a clean windshield DEFINITELY makes it work better. It can make a huge difference!
  7. 8,888.8 Miles Review (Sitting on the Tailgate)

    And there's the key statement... It relates only very tangentially to hybrid vehicles, because there is no "shift point" with an eCVT... The eCVT creates an "infinite" number of "gears" (gear ratios) within its min-max range. You're never in the "wrong gear" with an eCVT. And contrary to...
  8. I’m waiting for my close up Mr. DeMille: 2.0 Maverick with my custom design

    Black is usually not my favorite color, but man, that Maverick looks SHARP! Nice job!
  9. Even an old woman can install the Ford Modular Bed Liner! -- DIY instructions & tips

    I have a buddy whose wife decided at 49 she was having no more birthdays - he got them instead. So he just turned 90 the other day. I tell him he doesn't look a day over 70! LOL
  10. Even an old woman can install the Ford Modular Bed Liner! -- DIY instructions & tips

    There, I "fixed" it for you... We've got two cats. One is white and orange, the other is dark gray "clouded leopard" looking. So between the two of them, no surface, regardless of color, is safe!
  11. CYBER ORANGE Maverick Photos / Club

    There is a Cyber Orange Lariat with BAP (and CP360+Assist) available at Ted Russel Ford in Knoxville, TN. It was a special order that was rejected. I know this because I'm the one who just rejected it... (My identical order was delivered July 5th to my local dealer here in Texas.)
  12. Windshield sunshade which did you buy?

    I bought WeatherTech for my camper (based on a Chevy E4500), and they are pretty nice, but take up a LOT of space when not in use. Also, the two side window shields are a bit loose (after 18 months) and I'm constantly having to re-insert them to keep them properly in place. No such issues with...
  13. 600 Miles Per Tank Hybrid Maverick club

    So, out of curiosity, which one of the Native American tribes do you belong to?
  14. JimParker256

    Central Texas Maverick Owners Club

    Seems like a question for the larger forum, rather than CenTer specific... Sorry you had a bad experience. But, knowing dealerships can (and do) make mistakes, I took the lead on making sure I got the features I wanted on my order, and made sure the dealership added them as needed. Took some...
  15. Finally all but one upgrade and accessories installed!

    Sweet-looking ride! And the "right" color, as well! Looks gorgeus!
  16. Finally all but one upgrade and accessories installed!

    Well, those Nigerian folks seem to already have my email and phone! :rolleyes:
  17. Windshield sunshade which did you buy?

    I did that with my Prius (the last car before the Maverick). They fit pretty well initially, but over time (about a year) they became more and more loose-fitting, to the point only the front windshield one (held in place by the visors) would stay in place. I cut new ones that were slightly...
  18. Windshield sunshade which did you buy?

    After using these things for years, it's become easy for me to collapse the shade. I just fold it down the middle (so the two "rings" are facing each other), grab it on the lower corners (with palms facing up), the bring my wrists together, rolling my hands inward as I do so. And "poof" the...
  19. lane keep works half the time

    Much as I love ACC on the highway, it is NOT "self-driving" in any form. Using it, you're not "giving up" any control, and you darn sure better continue to keep your eyes on the road. It's an "aid" like automatic transmission, power brakes, power steering, turn signals, brake lights, seat...
  20. Soon to be hybrid owner, any tips?

    "Coasting is the key..." So true. Coasting uses no gas, and no electric power from your battery - it's "free miles." And Slippery mode lets you coast a LOT easier (and farther) than the other modes. I've found that it's counter-productive to try to accelerate on electric only - too slow to...
