  1. The Leer 180XL Mid-Rise Truck Cap Camper is here! I like it. Alot.

    What I have found is the tailgate leaks as there is a small gap between the gate and the side of the truck. Usually only an issue when I park on an incline with the bed on the high end.
  2. Northern Lights - Post Your Photos 🔭

    Friday we had clouds and rain, but the clouds thinned enough that a 30 sec exposure showed some glow. I included a picture of the sun showing the sunspots that were the cause of the auroras. When the clouds finally cleared on Saturday night I was able to get some deep space photography done.
  3. Hot Wheels Ford Maverick Pickup (Coming Soon!)

    As a lifelong collector as well (my dad bought my first Matcbox car for me a few months before I was born in '66) I have a fair size collection and still occasionally buy one when it piqued my interest. I saw this Lotus last week and bought it just because it looked so close to the Hot Pepper...
  4. Help with tracking into

    My truck sat at that yard for a little over a week. I learned to watch the tracker, I knew something was up as I was watching it multiple times a day. Any time you see the date change on the status (no other info changed), the truck has moved. I saw the date change, but no new info and I...
  5. 840 Miles • 1 Tank Fuel • Hybrid Maverick

    I will not get that mileage until I retire or have an extended period where I do not drive to work - 66 miles each way with a majority of it being hills and 65 - 70 MPH. I average about 40 mpg when it is warm. These cold mornings are killing my mileage (~35 mpg). I also know my cap is bringing...
  6. Anyone else looking for a Hybrid Energy Monitor?

    I would love a window like what you show. My largest complaint (not a huge one) is that I have no idea when the battery is charged enough to drive more than a short distance before it switches back to ICE. Yes the EV coach will show how much power you have to draw on, but that only works once...
  7. Have you named her yet?

    In Central & Southwest Virginia there are many families with the Merica last name, but it is pronounced "Murky".
  8. Fuel Efficiency - Best Practices for Hybrid

    The only frustration I get is trying to figure out when the battery has been charged enough to run in electric only mode for a distance. I prefer slippery mode as you do not get the rapid slow down in Eco mode, but it also slows the charging rate down. I use the center console screen to watch...
  9. Have you named her yet?

    I am thinking Picante since she is a spicy red and from Mexico!
  10. Tailgate Lock

    I got the factory tailgate lock and the dealer installed it, incorrectly the first time. It put a big scratch on the bed where it rubbed while opening and closing the tailgate. I went back to the dealer and had them fix it. After a talk with the maintenance manager I had them buy some touch up...
  11. Factory tint on which windows?

    There is a little tint on the front sides, but not much. I added 35% tint to all the windows. This is not only providing some additional darkness to the windows, but also provides UV and IR blockage. In VA you need a waiver for the front side and windshield tint, but since I have had skin...
  12. New Maverick Recall - pinched fuel tank joint (affects 271 units, production dates January 19-26, 2024)

    My truck sat on the lot for almost 2 weeks before shipping. I think mine was the waiting for the turn signal recall, but since it had never officially been labeled "Built" it was not a recall. I guess it was just a calling :unsure:?
  13. New Maverick Recall - pinched fuel tank joint (affects 271 units, production dates January 19-26, 2024)

    Updated with official NHTSA recall bulletin: Saw this story on a recall for 2024s. A pinched fuel tank joint. Seems to be a pretty small recall and most likely Hybrids, but the article wasn't sure. https://www.carscoops.com/2024/03/ford-maverick-trucks-recalled-over-fuel-tank-leak/ Ford is...
  14. Simple yellow tint for front turn signal light

    Does it change the brightness of the blinker?
  15. 24 Hybrid XL + co pilot 360 price?

    While I agree with all the people here about Granger/Flood for the Ford ESP, will your truck stay stateside or will it be shipped abroad? The Ford plan is only good in North America.
  16. Any 2024 Maverick issues?

    2800 Problem free miles with my Hybrid Lariat. Next month will be my first long trip for the Eclipse. ARE Shell goes on Friday!
  17. Hybrid question

    I was experiencing something similar. My drive to work is the most variable MPG. It is a 66 mile drive with mostly freeway. My MPG has ranged from 34 to 38 so far (have had mine for 6 weeks). The temperature has definitely been the largest part of the difference, but I have also seen differences...
  18. 2023 Maverick XLT Ecoboost Overlanding / Camping Build

    Does the bed extend out, or do you sleep curled up?
  19. HOT PEPPER RED Maverick Photos Thread

    Have you already lowered it?
  20. Wow. Was it a custom paint job or new color

    Depending on the lighting conditions, Hot Pepper Red can be any color from a Bright Burnt Orange to a Deep Red. One of the reasons I love this color!
