Should have clarified. It is a 2023

Good morning, I hear lots of talk about GDI engines needing carbon cleaning on a regular basis at reletively low mileage intervals. How many have actually had to do that, and at what mileage? Or how many have had issues from excessive build-up. I am referring to the 2.0 EB engine. I am at...

I wonder if there is a hybrid version!

You mean 5 qts of oil at $60 now was easily $20 in 2022? That year the national average for gas, adjusted for inflation, would now be $5.62/gallon. Maybe the two costs balanced out then.

On my current 3 vehicles (full size SUV V-8, mid-size SUV V-6, and Maverick EB) I do and have always changed the oil at 50% on the OLM with full synthetic. I have checked a few times, and it seems to always coincide with about 5,000 miles. Mileages are in order, 198k, 178k, 66k. No engine...

I still get stopped in parking lots from owners and non-owners asking me how I like my Maverick. Cracks me up.

Yep. Mine look the same. There are several threads on this. I stretched the rubber in hot to close the gap and it worked for a bit but shrunk back to the way it was. I am out of warranty, so mine was not covered. I still have it, as someone posted it is a bit labor intensive to replace it...

And then it rained.........:sadface:

Some refer to the Maverick as an F-50 or mini-duty. You must be looking for the F-10 or micro-duty Ford. :)

New 8/2023. 59,000 miles. Changed all drive line fluids once at around 30k mi. Oil every 5,000 miles. No issues except 2 or 3 of the common recalls.

We recently had high gas prices before for YEARS (not a couple months) at a time because of regulatory policy. In 2022 when the minor incursion of Russia into Ukraine occurred, a gallon of regular gas spiked to about $5.00/gallon in the mid-Atlantic region. In 2012, the average annual price of...

This is nothing new. The Chinese government owns Chinese companies and subsidizes them. It is deliberate to undermine US companies. I believe Japan was doing the same thing in the early 70's and helped them gain a foothold in the US. Quality and poor management impact aside, it helps when...

In another thread, I posted: initially replaced my OEM Michelins with Cooper Road and Trail, increased the size to 235/65/18. Mostly I wanted 3Peak rating and they had good reviews on Tire Rack. I thought the up size looked better, and the taller tire was a noticeable height increase. HOWEVER...

Decided to try and fix it. In the warm sun I pushed it/slid my fingers along the length of the window toward the gap and it stretched and closed up. Looks good now. I think I will keep it treated with 303 protectant to help keep it pliable and maybe reduce shrinkage and see how it goes.

Happening on both of my rear windows. 56k Miles so beyond the bumper to bumper warranty. Does anyone think Ford will cover this since it is a common problem? If you had it fixed, did it last or did they use the same parts? Has anyone been successful with another fix?

I also had a wider (65 aspect ratio) than you are considering, so there was more rolling resistance.

Some of the Maverick logged mpg loss was related to odometer/speedometer error with the larger tires. But it seemed like I was filling up more often over a few tanks than usual. Since going back, I am going further on a tank.

No wonder. I am going to look for it again.
