I like using CarPlay with my phone. But it sucks that you always have to plug it in. Iāve seen ads for a wireless CarPlay adapter. Anyone have any experience with them? I see several models on Amazon. A lot have shit reviews.
Wife and dog and I went to meet a bronco owner I met at the dealership. Told him to save me a space next to his bronco for height comparison shot.
The dog liked the maverick too.
I was making a U-turn and decided to see how it behaved with all 4 breaking traction. It handled pretty well. Broke the back end loose while first nailing the gas. About halfway through the apex, the front broke loose, then caught traction and started pulling. Not bad for a little canoe.
When I first picked it up it showed 14mpg of the 19 miles it had on it. Delivered with a full tank of 87. I reset it at around 50miles on the ODO. Just filled it with 93 on Friday. I havenāt done any math to verify/confirm.
Maybe it will magically learn over time.
I havenāt been abusing the...
Found on Amazon. The only aftermarket high flow filter Iāve found yet. Thereās more intake and turbo noise. It definitely sounds and feels like itās breathing better. The best part of this filter is that itās still enclosed and allows you to retain the factory airbox and plumbing that pulls...
I will probably end up getting springs or coilovers to get the ride height just where I want it. Looking for more of a performance oriented drive. In order to fill out this huge wheel wells I figured I would go with 19s. I would prefer them to be as wide as I can get away with, without them...
Drove to auto zone for some rainx wiper fluid. Figured I would pull out the air filter and see if they could find an existing drop in that would work for the Maverick. No such luck. Was hoping that the AFE had something off the shelf that would fit. I find it interesting that the filter is...
You have to hit the mode button 5 times to get into sport mode. Wish there was just a sport button.
And before someone says āthat would cost more moneyā, duh. Iād pay the extra $8.
Iām glad I decided to get this. Itās very well built. The only potential drawback is the size of the opening. Itās just big enough to fit a P365XL. Iām not sure my full sized VP9 would fit.
Who else got one? What do you think?
Wondering what octane fuel they would have been filling the tank with on the 2.0eb mavericks. I doubt they put 93 in it. But lower octane fuels shouldnāt really be used on turbo cars. If my tank is filled with low test, Iāve got a surprise ahead of me for my first fill up with 93.
Just took the wife and in-laws out for dinner in the Maverick. Overall, great experience. My findings so far.
-It drives nicely on city streets. Smooth ride. Comfortable
- the plastic trim is on the lower end as far as finish and tolerances. The interior door handles, for example, have some...
Starting the 17hr trip to be delivered to me. $750 delivery charge from Texas to south Florida. MUCH better than having some random person put 1100 miles on my new car to get it to me. Canāt wait.
Considering the weight savings, and the fact that I can probably go without it until my first tire rotation, Iām tempted to just run without it until I rotate.
Anybody ever thought about not running the spare?
Thought this was cool. My car is still in Texas. Havenāt had a chance to put my hands on it yet. But I got notifications from the app that the car is connected. Managed to log on and see that itās already showing my odometer. My Maverick currently has 19 miles āŗļø
My dealer just called me to let me know my CG Lariat is at the rail yard ready for pickup. Iām actually going to be in TX on Wednesday and was thinking about driving it back to Florida. Turns out the dealership is willing to put the truck on a trailer and send it to me for just $750. Which is a...
Iām headed to TX for business the 13th through the 15th. My Maverick is on its way to the dealership. The projected eta is 10/25. Which seems like a very conservative estimate. That and the fact that Ford seems to be overestimating their lead times, I might get lucky and pick up the truck in...
