  1. Latest on Engine Fire Recall for MY22 Hybrids?

    I’m sure nothing can go wrong with that since every other sensor has to be reprogrammed, seems like they will be creating more problems than actually exist.
  2. Why You Should Never Lock Key in Truck And Rely On Keypad for Entry

    You can definitely lock your keys. In a 22 Maverick and open it with the keypad. My wife went to the dogpark and accidentally locked her purse in the truck without taking the key (truck is 30ft away from fence and maybe 100 ft away at any time. She had to borrow a cell phone and get the pad...
  3. 4 or 5 recalls just done

    It lets the burning oil escape to the ground, Ford said they are still working on a solution. Some speculate a sensor with be added to shut down the engine if it throws a rod, camshaft , crankshaft etc. Chances are so slim oft his happening are so small. I’m more worried about them shutting down...
  4. Maverick HYBRID outsells Toyota Tacoma in February!

    Ranger has sold 303 units ytd, way to go Ford planning.
  5. Maverick HYBRID outsells Toyota Tacoma in February!

    This has to be about the dumbest thread I’ve seen in years, a guy saying how screwed up Toyota planning and production is that ordered a 2022 hybrid which he never got and waiting at least a year and a half for a Maverick hybrid. . Again, how is the Ranger doing?
  6. 4 or 5 recalls just done

    They don’t have a solution for the fire other than carry a fire extinguisher.
  7. 4 or 5 recalls just done

    Two questions, charge battery through the engine (not under seat) and I have no idea how to reset the BMS? It is driven every day but 10-15 miles usually.
  8. 4 or 5 recalls just done

    Hey I was expecting power loss before the recall so I’m really on alert. I’ve has deep sleep probably a dozen times or more in two years we don’t get much cold weather in South Carolina. Just leaving the doors open for 10 minutes while vacuuming has caused before. They didn’t address the deep...
  9. 4 or 5 recalls just done

    Just picked up our 2022 Hybrid with 18,900 miles. They had it 9 days and I had to wait a month to get a loaner. As expected the plastic covers of the side airbags were filthy but it looks like nothing is miss fit, on a fairly quick look I didn’t see anything hanging out. They did take it back in...
  10. Day after two recalls - dash lit up, D blinking on shifter, stopped restarted and then it was gassing on its own

    I will probably regret taking my 22 Hybrid in on Wed, Air bags, turn signal, dash screen plus EGR warning I got in Febuary and the service manager talked me into getting the new battery cable installed because the offer expires in June. My only saving grace is I got a new Bronco Sport loaner and...
  11. Maverick HYBRID outsells Toyota Tacoma in February!

    Its not can't make enough it's can’t make any. It’s a totally new model and it won’t hit dealers until this month. Just got the epa approval a couple weeks ago.How many Rangers have been shipped?
  12. Maverick HYBRID outsells Toyota Tacoma in February!

    There aren’t any new Tacomas at dealers so its a meaningless stat. They have been delayed from Dec deliver until March.
  13. Blackstone says oil age doesn’t matter

    Seems like half the people commenting never read the article. This is data from Blackstone which people on this website quote like its the Bible. They tested many cars with oil sitting in their engines (the same oil) for years, a Porsche, Lincoln etc.
  14. Blackstone says oil age doesn’t matter

    I have two BMW’s that we drive very little, a 2014 M235 manual I drive 1,200 miles a year. BMW/Mini used to say every two years, I really think for very low mileage drivers its just to get your vehicle in the dealership to get additional business and you are doing no harm. They have the same...
  15. Blackstone says oil age doesn’t matter

    https://www.thedrive.com/news/motor-oil-age-doesnt-matter-as-much-as-mileage-study Basically they took oil sitting on a shelf for 14 years and it was fine, they then took cars with oil sitting many years and again no problems. After many tests they concluded it was mileage not age of oil, 6-12...
  16. Floor liners - recommendations?

    I like the Husky brand, they fit good, also made in the USA I believe.
  17. Insurance costs for a 2024 Maverick?

    Just got my renewal quote from All State in South Carolina. They are raising rates 25% on average, my quote for 3 cars was actually up 28% and 2 of them we drive less than 2000 miles a year. The Maverick was the cheapest at $440 every 6 months. I was at $500 deductible on all 3 so I changed it...
  18. I Think The Maverick is The Best Entry Level Vehicle Ever Created

    VW Beetle, best selling car of all time and easy to fix and cheap.
  19. Rotary Shifter not Idiot Proof (I'm an Idiot).

    The other day driving about 25-30 I reached down to get a piece of gum without looking, my hand hit the dial and put the truck in reverse (or tried). Fortunately the computer sensed a FU, the R started blinking yellow, a warning noise came on but nothing bad happened and it allowed me to put it...
  20. Touch up paint pen usage tips?

    I find that putting on touchup paint with the brush in applicators puts too much paint on and isn’t real smooth. I use the micro applicators which have small cotton or foam tips (Amazon). Not that you can’t use the brush for big scratches but small chips definitely worth buying the Amazon yellow...
