I came across a good article on Apple Car Play. At the bottom of that article is a link to “advanced” Car Play tips.
One of the best parts is that most of the screen shots are in a Maverick.
Enjoy...
I took my Maverick into the dealer for her first oil change and had the dealer do the taillight and instrument recalls. When I got the truck back, I noticed the TSR did not work. No big deal, just go and reprogram it, right? I used the same instructions as before and saw that the changes needed...
I took Pepper to a body shop and it turns out that the “chips” are specks of cement. With a lot of TLC elbow grease, most of them should go away. I’ll take care of it this weekend and post the results.
Well, it finally happened - I was the the Interstate in the number 2 lane when a tractor...
I do love my Hybrid XLT - heck, I ordered it. If I could do it all over again, I’d get the Lariat and pay the dealer to replace the pleather seats with cloth. (Pleather it was caused me to go with the XLT - pleather is hot and sticky) I’d get it fully loaded and the FX4 package (which would...
My Maverick had to go in the shop for some minor work. Even though the work would be completed the same day, they set me up in a rental. A GIANT 2023 F150 XLT 4x4. It had most of the bells and whistles including the 400HP 5 liter V8. That thing is huge compared to my Mav. I had to use the...
I’ve owned two. A 2022 Velocity Blue XL Hybrid and the one I ordered, a 2023 HPR XLT Hybrid with the BAP. Paid less than MSRP (not much less) for both. Got a crazy amount of trade in for my 2022.
VERY happy with my 2023
Yesterday I was streaming music from my iPhone and the sound was crap -- sounded like some of the speakers weren't working - kind of like GPS navigation sounds. I tried adjusting the sound, but the balance, fader, bass, mid-range and treble controls did not work. The fader and balance slider...
Saw my trucks cousin in the parking lot again and parked next to her and snapped this pick. It really shows the differences on the front end of the black appearance package (BAP) versus one without.
I found this under my dash. From what I've found on the internet, it is a tracking device. I unplugged it and wrapped it in aluminum foil. The dealer did not say anything about it.
NOTE: I have since heard back form Granger (see their post below as well as mine below theirs)
I picked up my 2023 Maverick on Friday 9/15, purchased an extended warranty on Thursday, 9/21. The truck had 112 miles on it. Surprisingly, my truck gained a thousand miles to the same dealership I...
I picked up my 2023 HPR/BAP/Hybrid yesterday and found that the 12V accessory plug does NOT turn off with the vehicle like my 2022 did. Does anyone know of way to have it de-energize when the vehicle is off? The owners manual says it powers on when the vehicle is on and in the same instructions...
I’ve heard the term “the speaker’s sound muddy” for the last 50+ years. It wasn’t until I got my Maverick, that I finally understood what people were talking about. My next upgrade will be new speakers from Crutchfield. Rather than searching through posts, ideas?
Not only did I see another Maverick, there was space next to it. So, I took a pic. As I was taking the Pic, both trucks were clicking and clacking at each other - wish I spoke Maverick Hybrid so I knew what they were saying. Maybe on day these will be as routine as F150's 🤣
I received my Velocity Blue XL Hybrid in October 2022. Only optional equipment was the full size spare and trailer hitch receiver. It was the dealers "demonstrator" and I got it for MSRP less a $500 discount - only 1800 miles on it.
Since then, I've added $1974 in parts which include Power...
I was cleaning my windshield today and noticed this. It kind of looks like a camera. It is near the tip of the drivers wiper blade. Attached are pics of the loaction and a close up of the object in question.
Just to show that Ford dealers aren't the only ones screwing customers, the local Honda dealer wanted $2,400 for a spray wax and $200 for a set of locking lug nut for the new Accord for my wife. I said not just no, but hell no. The dealer said if I bought the car now, that they would discount...
