  1. What I did today with my Maverick....

    Just traded it in for a Honda Ridgeline after a year: I did mention in number of my posts, that this had been the plan all along. Yes, I did have remorse for not purchasing a Ridgeline last year, but now I have one from '24. The Maverick served me well during its time with me and there's a...
  2. Daily short driving distances, Blackstone engine oil analysis...

    My EB 2.0 Lariat is pretty much driven daily, with an average round trip of ~4 - 6 miles, mainly in the city. That type of driving tends to build up fuel in the oil, as someone mentioned in this forum, due to the engine isn't really getting up to operating temperature. It's one thing to someone...
  3. Jump starter...

    I've got the Gooloo GT4000S jump starter couple of weeks ego: https://www.amazon.com/GOOLOO-GT4000S-Starter-Engines-Portable/dp/B0CCJCP9ZK It's for backup purposes, in case my EB 2.0 decides not to start one day. While it had not done that yet, it's a cheap insurance against when it may do...
  4. Carfax account....

    Yes, I've got the recall notification for My2023 Lariat from Carfax, but this is not about the recall. That actually reminded me to an email, never acted on it, about the free Carfax account from the Dealer. Did you guys/gals get the same from your dealers? Being curious about the content of...
  5. MPG change....

    AFAIK, frequent, short trips, break-in period will cause a drop in the mileage and so does colder weather. I've seen that earlier in the year, where it would be around 15 - 17 MPG. In warm weather, that changed to 18 - 19 MPG. Here's December and this is the MPG for My2023 EB 2.0: That's...
  6. Cabin camera

    There's a camera in the inside of the cabin, over the mirror: I have some ideas, but not certain about it. What is the purpose of this camera? Thx....
  7. Battery charging, desulfation...

    I've been at the local Ford dealer twice, with some issues with the A.S.S. that had been shut off by the system due to weak battery. The service rep stated that they've updated the software for the charging system, but would not give details. The second time with he same issue, they just charged...
  8. Trick question...

    How does the instrument panel goes from this: To this: Curious about the answer, thx...
  9. Battery Monitoring System, BMS, settings in ForeScan...

    The BMS controls, among other things, the battery charge level. Is there any settings in ForeScan to adjust this charge level? Thx...
  10. EB 2.0 battery replacement...

    The EB 2.0 Maverick has one battery only, BAGM48H6760. The model number indicates both the group size (48/H6) and the CCA (760). Did anyone replace this battery with the same, or different battery? I'd appreciate some feedback on this subject. Thx...
  11. Scratch touchup paint...

    I've some minor scratches on my Maverick passenger door, no clue how it happened: I haven't done any touch up on vehicles, although I've done some on walls, wood and appliance finishes. Which touch up paint would work best for this minor, but annoying scratches? Pen...
  12. SYNC® 3 Navigation Map update...

    With new and/or somewhat new audio update(s) going on, I've checked in the Maverick, but no updates available. Checking at Ford website for updates also didn't show available updates via the VIN. On the bottom of the page with states this: I've looked up the updates for my Lariat at...
  13. Auto Shutoff/Start doesn't work...

    As the title indicates, auto off/on does not work when the truck is stopped at the light, the display shows that it is disabled: When the traffic starts to move the icon in red circle disappears and comes back, when we stop at the next traffic light without shutting off the engine. The...
  14. Replacing OEM struts and shocks...

    There's nothing wrong with the struts and shocks, just don't like the ride, it bounces too much for my taste. My old F150 with Monroe gas charged shocks had a smoother ride and sticked to the road better. I am not looking for lowering/raising the truck, just trying to get a better ride. Did...
  15. Short trips with EB 2.0...

    My driving habits haven't changed, mostly do short trips, roughly 4k miles per year, where the engine does not reach operating temperature most of the times. This is especially prevalent in the winter time. The EB 2.0 DFI system does build up fuel in the engine oil in this case, that can show up...
  16. Compare Maverick fuel consumption to my old F150...

    It's been six month with my Lariat EB 2.0 AWD and noticed similarity to my previous '98 F150 STX, 4.2L V6, at least as far as fuel goes. In both cases, a full tank of super unleaded lasts, or lasted about 3 - 4 week, or for about 270 - 280 miles. Obviously, filling up shows the difference, 15...
  17. TicTac holder...

    From the get go, I believed that the console tray had special place for TicTac, like this: By now, I do know that they were designed for cell phones, but it is definitely a good place for TicTac if you'd want to...
  18. Question about Ford telemetry...

    This thread sheds some light on the usefulness of the Ford telemetry: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/ford-maverick-parking-brake-issue.35284/ In summary, the @Senior Master Ford Guy troubleshot a parking brake issue and provided a resolution, right on money, based on the...
  19. Hot fenders, but not the hood...

    I came home yesterday and somewhat accidentally touched the fender on the driver side and it was hot. Walking in the front and touched the hood and it was just warm, but the fender on the passenger side was hot too. Not as hot that you'd need to remove your hand, but the temperature difference...
  20. Keypad and FOB unlock....

    The keypad, FOB and intelligent access (handles) and the physical key can unlock the truck; that's stating the obvious.... In either case, for my Lariat the FOB is required to actually start the truck. If I lock the FOB in the truck via the keypad and open it via the same, isn't the risk of...
