  1. eCVT Transmission - Engineering Explained

    Ain't that the truth. Popular kid with complicated video probably paid for hits.
  2. Missing Person & Maverick

    Hmm... I wonder if the Ford Pass App was installed on the phone of the company owner? Seems like and maybe with the assistance of the dealer who sold the Maverick new you could at the least find out the location of the truck. Hopefully it doesn't go into a battery save/remote features disabled...
  3. Pay-per-mile vs Gas Tax

    I thought that thread had died. I chose that avatar as I the image of someone banging their shoe on a podium and telling you what they thought was appropriate for an internet fourm. And it is. Turns out according to Wikipedia (the website of choice for lazy students, journalists and...
  4. Post Your Other Rides / Vehicles

    My son has my Maverick so this is my "other" ride. Merill, size 14, model year 2025. The dashboard you see is of the wife's Italian Jeep (Renegade). I'm either walking or waiting.
  5. no

    Fun Fact... There is no industry or government standard that prescribes how much synthetic oil should be in a synthetic blend. Could be 1, 5 or 99%. No one knows, no parts counter can tell you and no company advertises their blend with the exception of Schaffers.
  6. It's official. Toyota is swooping in for the kill.

    "It's official. Toyota is swooping in for the kill." "It's still a bit speculative but..." I see modern "journalism" and others have left a lasting impression on you.
  7. 2025 Hybrid. How do you decide when to change the oil?

    This is what I do... Does the oil have a heavy odor of gasoline? Is the color on the dipstick dark? In a cold climate, is there a problem with condensation in the crankcase due to too few or not long enough trips? A yes to 2 out of 3 will warrant a change IMO. Myself I don't exceed 5,000 miles...
  8. What was the first thing you bought for your Maverick?

    The 1st thing I bought for my Maverick was about 30 days after purchase and was a full tank of gasoline. I bought a second fill a month later.
  9. Hesitation After a Fill-Up

    If its immediately after a fill and for a short time only I'd expect it's a problem with the EVAP system. Are you overfilling your tank?
  10. For those who clamored for a PHEV Plug-in Hybrid Maverick this might have been the disaster

    Wait... Isn't the Ford Kunga the same as an Escape?
  11. Hybird with Goodyear Weatherready 2 tires - review

    Yes, but with a more narrow tread pattern and more siping. The CC2 is the better of the two in snow IMO. I can say I have now owned both but the Weatheready 2 looks like it may have an edge on slick surfaces due to the siping or at least that is my hope.
  12. What's up with my MPG on the Hwy with my Hybrid?

    Headwind? Crosswind? Drove into a strong headwind once last spring. Saw the instant average go from the mid to upper 30's range down to 19.
  13. Hybird with Goodyear Weatherready 2 tires - review

    Finally, after a realative drought of snow over the past two winters, my part of the Upper Midwest got socked with rain and sleet followed by the better part of a foot of heavy, wet snow. I was going to have Michelin CC 2's put on earlier this season but went with the new and relatively...
  14. Pay-per-mile vs Gas Tax

    Whatever each state or government entity decides to do with taxation, rest assured it will seem unevenly applied. I fully agree with those who believe themselves being penalized for efficiency, especially onerous since it is advanced by government. I also fully agree with those not driving an...
  15. Using Factory Hitch as a Recovery Point

    Has anyone used the factory hitch as a recovery point to pull your Maverick out of a ditch or snowbank or have you used your Mavericks hitch to pull someone out of a ditch or snowbank? I know my towing is limited and pulling someone from a snowbank usually involves a few tugs. Just wondering if...
  16. How often you should change oil for Hybrid engine?

    Do you check your dipstick at every fueling stop? Odor, color, condensation on the filler cap? I live in a cold climate and have plenty of trips where its a 3 mile commute to and from with an eight hour gap in between. Maybe once every week or every other week would I put enough miles on to say...
  17. i accidentally made this thread [NO POLITICS, NO OFFENSIVE POSTS, NO NSFW]

    Yes your right about those Spanish pieces of eight. Great fun watching metal detector enthusiasts on YouTube run up and down an old colonial or early antebellum plantation paths from the homestead down to where the river landing was years ago and come across these. By a bit more though I...
  18. Who is the target market for Ford Maverick

    I don't think its generational at all. Owners for the Maverick are all over the board judging from this fourm IMO but have several things in common... They are conscious of value and versatility. Hybird owners like the economy and were impressed with the longevity other hybird Fords. Ecoboost...
  19. Dealer Talks Ford Maverick Owner Into Paying Almost $1,000 A Month For The Hybrid Truck

    Welp... You walked into that one. Your problem, not mine. Doing research or pricing the market beforehand would have saved you this grief. Life experience can be an expensive education but this is one person who won't be repeating the lesson.
