  1. Another Speaker Upgrade

    Took my 24 Mav Lariat to Kar tunes (Tempe, AZ). Replaced the B & O front door speakers with Hertz DCX-1653 two way 6.5" speakers. Also had Sound Shield added to both doors. It was not cheap. Had I done the work myself (which , at my age, was not really possible); I could have saved about $250...
  2. 1st Road Trip (Mesa AZ to Heber 24Hybrid Lariat) after adding ARE MX shell

    Just me and the 2 dogs in the Mav. Computer gave 42.5 MPG; hand calc was 41.2 MPG with 91 octane. Elev in Mesa is about 1350 & Heber is about 6500. Temp was 45 when I left, 31 in Forrest Lakes (elev ~7500) with Sleet & rain. Heber got about 2 inches of snow which was mostly melted when I left...
  3. Check engine light 24 Hybrid

    See prior post re: First roadtrip to AZ Mtns in cold weather. I was starting to think the Mav was a big mistake when the check engine light came on during the road trip. NOT SO. L H Miller service was super; the issue was the poor installation of the light in my ARE shell. There was a loose...
  4. Saw a Rivian

    Went to the hospital to visit a patient and saw a Rivian being charged. Has anyone noticed that it kinda looks like a very large Maverick (except for the front doors)?
  5. First road trip to AZ Mtns during cold weather(24 Hybrid)

    When I left Mesa it was about 47 deg, when I got to Forrest Lakes it was about 33, foggy and raining. The heater worked great. The Mav seemed to be running just fine; but then the check engine lite came on and stayed on. So I changed my plans and returned ASAP. Nothing seemed amiss, I got about...
  6. My son Mavericked me fo Christmas !

    He (thru Amazon) sent me a Mav hat, a Mav shirt, and a Mav water bottle. The bottle holds 1 pint, keeps ice cold over nite; and fits in the door just right. Thanks son !!
  7. Anybody else notice this weird voltage thing in a 24 Hybrid?

    OK, like many others I have had voltage issues with the lead-acid battery. I just noticed something on startup that seems strange; or maybe it is just me. When I start the Mav of course it is in electric mode ie the gas engine is not running. I have a voltage monitor in the 12v outlet; first...
  8. Low battery V in my 24 lariat Hybrid solved?

    See p317-319 in Manual; if you use a smart trickle charger as I have done, follow the these procedures (and reset the BMS) and your low battery issues may be resolved. It appears mine have been. But just because AI allows something to be done does not mean it should be done. I believe "KISS"...
  9. Another "oil change" question; sorry!

    I have seen many post replys say something like: "Since the 2.5 hybrid engine is not running when the truck is in electric mode, the miles on the engine is< the odometer miles; and therefore you do not need to change the oil so often" . That seems to be logical; but the hybrid engine is...
  10. Low voltage In the lead-acid battery in my 24 Lariat hybrid

    A few hrs after hours after a long trip (>30 min) the battery V drops to the lows 12s. The v during the trip while driving is always >13. I have been using a smart trickel charger over nite to try and keep the battery charged. In the morning the smart charger indicates the battery is fully...
  11. Maverick sales UP & Ranger DOWN

    Based upon the numbers, it sure looks like Maverick sales are killing the Ranger. Perhaps the poor MPG of the Ranger makes the logical choice a base F150 or a Maverick; depending on your needs.
  12. Tesla Cybertruck

    Just watched the 40 min video; an amazing vehicle; BUT: it is more of a time machine than a truck. It is too expensive, too ugly, and just too fast. At $1116K for the beast with extra battery it is not Maverick competition. And not likely competition in the std truck market. There is a reason...
  13. How long is the 12v outlet hot?

    I picked up my 24 Lariat hybrid a week ago. I have noticed that the voltage in the lead battery was low(12 to 12.3 most of the time). So I plugged in my trickle charger into the 12v socket. It was still charging after 50 min. So how long is it hot?
  14. First Road Trip, Mesa to Overgaard and Back

    My 24 Mav Lariat hybrid (cactus gray) arrived at the dealer(Robert Horne Ford) 3 days ago (after a 14 mo wait). Picked it up yesterday. I traded in my 21 Mazda CX-5. The Mav was as ordered; but due to new Std. feature changes made by Ford the price was more than anticipated. Ford gave me a...
  15. Std features not on window sticker

    When I use Ford's Build and Price web site For a 24 Lariat hybrid it shows a hitch and a SIBL to be a std feature; but the window sticker does not show those items. I called Ford , after 30 min of discussion they said to talk to the dealer. I called BS on that and got nowhere. Any thoughts?
  16. I have a private offer

    Ford won't tell me about it. The dealer says they can't see it until build is complete; How can I see it?
  17. I have a VIN!!

    Called Ford to check, since it has been over 13 mo., and I have had no Emails. So now the wait for delivery begins.
  18. Yellow 23 XLT parked next to my home

    First one in the area I think. It had a carvana sticker. Do not know which neighbor is the owner. Would really like a showing. On another front the dealer informed me that my 24 is about to be scheduled. I will believe it when it happens, after 13+ months it is hard to get excited.
  19. So you want a CD player

    Now available on Amazon is a CD player that connects to the USB port. It "fools" the info system into thinking it is a thumb drive with music tracks. Just search for a "car USB cd player". Cost is about $55 to $85. I got the more expensive unit so it has 3 methods of play, USB, FM, and aux...
