  1. Week 2 with my 2024 XL ecoboost.

    Nice! Love the wheels. You didn't list it, so consider adding the tailgate damper. It allows you to unlatch your tailgate and let go of it, while watching it gently lower.
  2. New Maverick Owner?

    My 2024 hybrid Lariat arrived in November 2023, an early build '24. It has 3k miles on it now. No issues. Great mpg in the land of $5.++ 87 octane. It is a joy to drive. I disabled/cancelled FordPass, I do my own oil changes and keep it away from the dealer. My VIN has not had any recalls...
  3. New Brushed Aluminum Engine Cover w/ Powder Coat (JCR Offroad) installed

    Rough Country - I want one but for my hybrid's ICE. Strictly appearance but I want one. The engine cover will keep my MRT hood struts company.
  4. Stops/no go

    Report the random engine shut-down to NHTSA. Have your VIN handy. Call or Email NHTSA Call us at 888-327-4236 Contact us by email The email is a hot link so you need to go to nhtsa.gov to use it.
  5. Stops/no go

    I have a low mileage 2003 [21 year old] Chrysler PT Cruiser 5 speed. Manufactured in Hermisillo MX. Solid, no squeaks or rattles, no gremlins. Given, things were simplier 21 hrs ago. Inferno red paint shines like the devil. Both my 22 EB after 9k miles and my 24 hybrid with 3k miles have been...
  6. Rear Sliding Window Leakage

    22 Lariat and 24 Lariat - no leaks. Love the remote power feature.
  7. Buy extended warranty?

    My three years of Mav ownership is marked on my calendar. It won't have 36k miles on it by then. The hybrid battery has an 8 yr/100k warranty. Based on my maintenance and repair experience under the FoMoCo 3/36 warranty, I'll decide close to the end of the 36 months if I will keep it or sell...
  8. Tire brands / size question

    My Lariat came with Michelin A/S. That is one of many reasons I paid the price for the Lariat. I drive mostly paved roads in suburban and urban settings. I am partial to Michelins because their "bladder" holds air better than other brands. They run quieter in my opinion. This seems consistent...
  9. Is there an HD Radio upgrade option on the stock radio?

    If the vehicle pictured is your Lariat, then it comes with satelite radio as part of Sync3. My 2024 Lariat hybrid included a 6 month subscription to Sirius XM. It was active when I picked up my Mav [and I just renewed it] If your XM is not active, ask your dealer why.
  10. 2024 Hybrid recalls

    Mine: 2024 Lariat hybrid, arrived November 2023. VIN says it is the 3,170th 2024 Mav scheduled - I hear they don't always get assembled in exact order. It turned 3k miles yesterday. No issues. No recalls. No dead battery. I deleted my FordPass a few weeks ago. That reduced the clicking...
  11. Good article on LSPI, worth a read

    After reading the article, I want an EV even more.
  12. Common Interior Rattles?

    Probably not where you are going to do any mods, but my 22 had a rumble in the dash ahead of the driver over uneven surfaces. I think it was the HVAC duct to the windshield defrost vents. My 2024 occasionally has plastic on plastic noise on the dash top where it meets the passenger side A...
  13. Total loss of power.

    While it doesn't pose the danger that engine-out in hybrids does, I would still report it to NHTSA. Why should someone who purchases a new vehicle need to charge their battery after 6 days or buy an AGM battery etc. etc. ? Ford has been building vehicles for over a hundred years. They need to...
  14. Collision assist not working

    Me: 2024 hybrid Lariat [CP360+CP360 Assist]. My forward collision is set to the most sensitive setting - never sounds when I expect it to. I want it to work like the rear cross-traffic alert. It went off a couple of times when I didn't expect or need it to. The dash roadway graphic that...
  15. PHEV pollution much higher than it should be

    Agree 110%. First thing my neighbor did when he got his Tesla Model Y was take me for a drive. He warned me before he accelerated to brace my head against the headrest and I'm glad I did. My son purchased a Model 3 single motor and it is plenty fast 0-60mph. My other son just leased a...
  16. Has anyone had their powertrain disengage and show "Gear Selected will Engage at Low Speed"?

    Regardless, report it to NHTSA. This puts FoMoCo on notice and they use info such as your software update etc. to trouble shoot. Dealers don't want to be bothered with the paperwork. Any time an engine shuts down while driving is a serious issue and puts you and others in danger.
  17. First oil change questions

    I have a 2024 hybrid. Love it. No issues at 3k miles. Especially while under warranty, I would stick with Motorcraft 910S or 400S filter. Not out of loyalty. One less excuse FoMoCo can use. At 1000 miles, your ICE has been running only part of those miles. I use my trip mileage screen - for...
  18. Is there a known solution to Maverick Hybrids Losing Drive Train/Engine Power?

    If you haven't already done so, file a report with NHTSA. Have your VIN handy.
  19. Hybrid 12V Battery Charging

    Good point - it is a budget vehicle produced in the middle of a pandemic when commodities were in short supply and chip manufacturing was limited. That said, when I talk to friends with various vehicles, the number one issue is with electronics and related components. I'm not saying FoMoCo can't...
  20. PHEV pollution much higher than it should be

    Severe climate like tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding downpours, drought, lakes drying up, famine in 3rd world countries that used to at least have subsistance farming, migration caused by crop failure. The world has always experienced this but surging population and demands on nature compound...
