  1. 2025 front plate bracket location?

    My son was pulled over here in Texas for no front plate. He now has it on the dash where you can see it through the front windshield. My wife was also stopped as she had on a plate cover that changed the color of the front plate. Also in the Lariat mounting to anywhere other than in the middle...
  2. Towing a new 2025 Yamaha Waverunner FX Cruiser HO

  3. 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid AWD at work

    Picked up a new Yamaha FX Cruiser HO this weekend and was pretty impressed with the technology changes on the 2025 Hybrid AWD model.

  4. Towing a new 2025 Yamaha Waverunner FX Cruiser HO

    Can't wait to try towing this behind the new 25 Mav. We sold our 2-cycle 1997 Kawasaki 1100STX and purchased this new 25 Yamaha FX Cruiser HO from a dealers left over stock. We pickup on Saturday. The aluminum Tritan elite trailer weighs in at 210lbs and the ski at 865 dry so we should be well...

    It would help if Ford were not the recall king of automakers.
  6. Trailer Light Module Recall

    I just checked my Ford app and it says the software is available for download. I've used mine several times with a trailer and love the trailer backup assist.

  7. Front license plate holder recommendations?

    Beware of any license plate brackets that mount in either the upper or lower grill areas on the 25 Lariat Mavericks. They will block sensors. I had used an Amazon mount on the lower grill and started receiving lots of anti-collision sensor warnings.

    I've run nothing but Kawasaki engines for the last 35 years on my riding mowers. That includes my current Bad Boy Maverick zero turn mower. Also run it in my Yamaha jetboat and outboards.

  11. Hybrid Mileage improvement with 100% ethanol-free gas

    I use ethanol free gas in all my equipment where gas may sit longer than 30 days. That includes the Hybrid Mav, my wife's 23 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, mowing equipment and boat motors. I can't remember that last time I had to deal with a plugged up carb or fuel injection issue with real gas...
  12. Car Max Pricing - 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid

    I just found out where my 24 Maverick ended up after being sold to Carmax in Austin, TX. Car Max gave me 32,388 and it's been sold to an Infinity dealer in NC. Not a thing wrong with it. Thought it would have been marked up a bit more than $600.

    I just took delivery of a new 25 Mav from Florida to Texas. And sure enough no mounting bracket was included and no holes drilled. Texas does require both plates.
