  1. What are your Solar eclipse plans?

    Tentatively planning to drive to southern IL to see the total eclipse. We're getting about 85% here. A lot hinges on weather forecast though.
  2. Why so much negativity

    To answer the OP: a lot of the time, sarcasm and friendly jabbing doesn't translate easily through the keyboard. So, people can sometimes take it the wrong way and get their undies in a bundle. Sometimes people are naturally assholes, though. But, I am never sarcastic (see what I did there?)...
  3. Monster Feb! -- Maverick February 2024 Sales & Production: 13,262 Sold / 14,316 Produced

    Dealership near me has finally reduced their markup from $5k to $2k on MY24 Mavericks. I've noticed their supply steadily increasing over the last few months, at least according to the website.
  4. My 93 Octane Experiment! 2.0L EcoBoost Maverick

    This thread is way too civilized. We need a troll to come in and knock us down a few pegs. (joking aside, my personal butt dyno also confirms improvements running higher octane)
  5. Why obscure your license plate in photos here?

    You can find out a lot about a person by their plate. It takes 45 seconds to block it out in a pic, and to me that's worth it to decrease exposure/risk from the entire internet, down to a handful of locals who see it daily.
  6. Recall #24C01 - Instrument Panel Cluster IPC Illumination - 2/26/2024

    '23 w/ FX4 no recall listed for me; maybe it's related to the standard cluster? Or, someone else had mentioned that no one with EB had it listed.
  7. Failed Brakes

    This thread, so far, is the equivalent of someone dropping ass in a crowded room then leaving right away with everyone else scrambling to find the cause.
  8. Calling all that are happy with little to no issues!

    Can't speak on the hybrid, but as far as new vehicles go the Mav so far has fared reasonably well. Airbag recall (mine I believe was fixed at the factory), tow package wiring; I have yet to service the turn signal recall. Other than that, my master window switch died. Rather than deal with...
  9. how was your Ford dealer experience?

    Got mine from Metro Ford of Madison. The actual sale of the vehicle went smoothly, and the sales reps were fine to work with. I sent the rep my build, I stopped in and put down a deposit, and he kept me updated over the following months. Delivery was painless. The service department...
  10. Why Mavericks are Hot (The Affordability Crisis) [⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Same here. It is a perfect fit for what I need. Hopefully we see competing models from other manufacturers too.
  11. Why Mavericks are Hot (The Affordability Crisis) [⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Yeah, I suppose if I were a CEO and saw $$$ during covid due to low inventory/high margins, I'd try to keep chasing that high too. The common man be damned. The current financial state of the median US household right now is a bit scary. Even more pressure than the current used and new car...
  12. i accidentally made this thread [NO POLITICS, NO OFFENSIVE POSTS, NO NSFW]

    I know Phil is the widely known groundhog, but we have Jimmy in these parts. He's a little bitey though:
  13. Insurance costs for a 2024 Maverick?

    AmFam; I pay about $1200/yr for full coverage (coll. + comprehensive) with $500 deductible. Late 30's male with clean record, as that tends to be relevant ;) . $5600 is insanity. There has to be something else going on there.
  14. Installed the Escape digital dual HVAC control today in my 23 Lariat Hybrid

    Might as well show mine too. Wasn't too hard to swap; unit is off of a 2020 Escape.
  15. Can't figure out the custom display mode

    And you know damn well that the main motivator for GM making these changes is to collect more subscription fees (either via their new infotainment or to support Android Auto/CarPlay). I'm certain other manufacturers will follow suit too.
  16. Wiper Motor Died

    Yikes...+1 on rainx for now. I was once on I-94 in Minnesota with some friends during a snowstorm when his driver's side wiper blade fell apart. It must have looked ridiculous with him hanging out the window every couple minutes to wipe the windshield. Luckily traffic was slow...
  17. First Time Snow Storm Performance Review (AWD Maverick in Wisconsin) 👍

    Also in Madison area, and the Mav has been a champ in the 15+ inches of snow we've gotten over the last week. Now we're dealing with plummeting temps and any compacted snow is turning to ice, especially at intersections. Was picking up the gf during one of the storms. On a city street behind...
  18. Receiving and sending text with Ford audio.

    Since my post, Apple has reluctantly agreed to finally support RCS chats, so SMS may be a thing of the past in the next couple years (except for things like one time passcodes, etc.). I think your earlier point about AA not being able to read texts from earlier in the day is a "feature"...
  19. Engineering Explained: Do You Really Need AWD or Winter Tires? (summer/all-season/winter tires, and FWD/RWD/AWD)

    That's kind of funny, because my aforementioned car was a 2014 Dodge Dart manual (don't make fun of me ;) ). The day I bought it, I test drove that and a 2014 Mazda 3. I regret not going with the Mazda, though the Dart was quite fun to drive.
