  1. Ambient Temperature Sensor Issue - When Raining with Short Trips

    Well fix worked until it didn’t. Was driving in the rain today and the temperature reading all of a sudden dropped from 82F down to 49F and then by the time I got home back to 82F. Looks like I’m headed back to the dealer. There must be a short somewhere in the connection to the sensor that’s...
  2. Seat covers from Walmart

    FWIW, I picked up the 4KNines standard cover for my Maverick and have been very happy with the fit and quality. https://4knines.com/products/4knines-dog-seat-cover-fitted-rear-bench-for-cars?variant=1316536372 Works very well for both the miniature Australian Shepard and six year old that ride...
  3. Tailgate Assist in Stock

    Wouldn't have ordered one if I didn't have a 6-year old who tried to open the tailgate by himself the other day...
  4. Tailgate Assist in Stock

    Yeah, the numbers ended up adding up exactly the same so I ordered from Dee Zee instead.
  5. Tailgate Assist in Stock

    Got the same e-mail and by the time I clicked the link, less than 20min after getting it, it's already sold out again.
  6. 1up bike rack installed

    Day to day, I’ll probably use the “official” 2x6 bike rack I put together, or grab a tailgate pad. We were traveling this weekend and needed the bed for bags and supplies so I threw the hitch rack on to make life easier.
  7. 1up bike rack installed

    No worries, hard to read people’s tone online sometimes. I’ll take some measurements at some point to figure out what will work best, but this is how it fits for now.
  8. 1up bike rack installed

    Wow, no need to be hostile about it. I’m just reporting back on how it fit and that there was some clearance in that upper position. It’s not ideal to not be able to fully lower the tailgate, but it’s better than not being able to open it at all, only to forget, open it and dent the truck in...
  9. 1up bike rack installed

    I'll post a picture shortly, but I can confirm that the Kuat Transfer 1 will clear the tailgate with the cables in the upper position, both with a bike and without a bike, but just barely. There's maybe half an inch of clearance. No chance in the lower position.
  10. Free gift

    Going from memory, I got a trash can, cord organizer, set up cup holders, purse/bag hooks, and two sets of under seat organizers, one short and one taller
  11. Free gift

    Mine was in a box on the back seat when I took delivery. It's a reasonably nice set of plastic accessories. The cord organizer in particular is a nice thing to have for charging kids tablets in the backseat. The garbage can and under seat dividers are also pretty useful.
  12. Western MA owners?

    I also ordered from Marcotte, I think mine was one of two that came in in late March. I've seen a couple others, one in someone's front yard here in Longmeadow on Route 5 and another randomly on 91 South one day while I was headed home from the office. I have been surprised I haven't seen more...
  13. Western MA owners?

    I’ve had mine for just over a month. Cactus Grey Lariat Hybrid. Been great so far for my commute from Longmeadow to Holyoke and for running around town.
  14. Ford complimentary FIT kit email

    Mine was in a box in the backseat of my truck when I took delivery.
  15. Gear selector stuck?

    I had this happen the other day. Are you pressing the brake pedal when you hit start? If not, then you're only turning on accessory mode and the shift knob stays locked. I had my foot on the pedal, but didn't have enough pressure on it when I hit start and it only engaged accessory mode.
  16. Gas pump shutting off and gas spilling out

    This hasn't happened on my Maverick (only one fill up so far), but I've had it happen on two different occasions on my wife's '17 Escape. It seems to be something with certain pumps and the easy fill system.
  17. Ambient Temperature Sensor Issue - When Raining with Short Trips

    This is the part: https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/electrical/sensorsdevices/sensor-assy-7821147-1#/sectionId:446280859 Not sure on the location, but my understanding is that it's located behind the front bumper.
  18. Ambient Temperature Sensor Issue - When Raining with Short Trips

    Update to add to the knowledge base. My dealer got the new ambient temperature sensor installed this morning and the drive home went fine. Definitely got a more predictable cut over to the battery after accelerating from a stop light and then backing off the throttle. Managed to get ~50mpg on a...
  19. Ambient Temperature Sensor Issue - When Raining with Short Trips

    Adding info to the thread in case anyone else ends up with the same issue. The service folks at the dealership determined that all of the codes and errors were being caused by a faulty ambient temperature sensor. They have a new one on order and intend to have it installed in the morning and...
