  1. Maverick vs 2024 Tacoma comparison review | When Full Size is TOO MUCH

    I got a nicely equipped 4x4 2023 F-150 with the 3.5 ecoboost for $50k that gets 21 around town and 23 on the highway. My brother has a 24 Taco and I know they’re good trucks but they’re overpriced. Compare the taco to an F-150? Toyota is punching up above its weight class with that MSRP and...
  2. Ford recalls 456K vehicles due to loss of drive power (undetected low battery issue); includes 2022-2023 Maverick Ecoboost & Hybrid

    Software updates won't fix a low grade battery or a corroded connection but it will help the BCM to cope with it until it's out of warranty or completely toast, whichever is first. I think it's about parameters that control charging rate and tolerances. This one singular recall would have...
  3. Maverick destroys sales of Santa Cruz and every other compact-midsize pickup in Q1 2024

    Mavericks are priced well and combine adequate safety, comfort and capability. They're also configurable to please many. The sales numbers may not hold up once it has close competition, but for now it's only real obstacles will be it's upwardly creeping sticker price or greedy dealers...
  4. Here's where i find myself, what would you do?

    My opinion here…. It’s unlikely you’ll find the configuration you’re seeking. That color is great and I regret not getting scheduled for a ‘23 because of it. Stay put with your ‘23 and find an aftermarket sunroof. Let the ‘24 you ordered go. Wait till July to see what the ‘25 refresh brings...
  5. 245/60R18 Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT tires installed

    Sweet. Thank you for posting this. I’ve been curious about the impact on mpg adding decent tires would have. Looks amazing and you’ll have plenty of grip anytime you need it.
  6. 12 Volt Battery Drain Solved on Hybrid Maverick .

    I have a ‘23 F-150 with the Ecoboost engine and I have the same clicking. My assumption is it knows I’m in proximity because of my keyfob. No idea what’s “waking up” when I get near but it’s definitely a repeatable situation.
  7. Painted (plasti-dip) stock XL rims

    That’s a nice setup. What size tire did you choose?
  8. Painted (plasti-dip) stock XL rims

    Looks great Richard. Was that matte black plastidip? I have a set of those caps ready for mine. Just shipped but it’s still south of the border. hybrid xl cp360 hitch.
  9. 20 days in production

    Build start date was 3/5, build finished 3/25. Any thoughts on why it took 20 days? XL Hybrid cg hitch Cp360 My guess is it was actually assembled in a day but somehow it missed the last scanner on the assembly line and it took three weeks for someone to question why it was still in the...
  10. First Hybrid Oil Change Question

    I may be entirely wrong about this but I heard a theory the factory oil is spec’d for the task of break-in. I did my first oil change a year ago with my F-150 and the oil definitely didn’t seem like subsequent used oil. It’s also a thing that a lot of engine noise goes away after that first...
  11. Help! This can’t be good right? "Charging system Service now"

    Oh yes. There are certainly more bits and pieces to be found along the path of the belt and on the under-engine shields. Oh yea, the belt may have been affected as well when it popped off a pulley. keep us posted. 🙈
  12. Save the Dash Cubby!

    Fair enough. It’s definitely inspired many creative people and I appreciate them. 👍🏼
  13. Save the Dash Cubby!

    Clearly not beloved, Lol. A cubby has it's place for sure but this one has always struck me to have been an afterthought. As in, Mgr: "The bean counters say we can't use the 10" tft in this gen of the maverick. We have to use that feeble 8" so we're going to have to reconfigure the top part...
  14. 200,000 miles on my Hybrid

    This is encouraging. My take on the mav hybrid powertrain is that it's basically a tweaked 3rd or 4th gen toyota 2.5l powertrain. Ford licensed Toyota engine+ecvt tech from about 2005 till just a few years ago. I have a feeling these mav's and escapes will go hundreds of thousands miles...
  15. Should i change 22 xl eco to 24 xl hybrid

    I'm curious about this. I ORIGINALLY had a COVP's order for an XLT Hybrid back in September of '22 but in October of '22 changed it to an XL Hybrid. I wonder if my private offer will be 2,750 or 3,400. My mav is showing 'in production' since last week and I expect to have it by beginning of May.
  16. Prioritizing 23-year orders is hogwash

    Yea you would be one of the last of the two year carry-overs. The bright side is that unless your dealer really messed up you should have a multi-thousand dollar transitional private offer available to use to reduce your sticker price. It’s transferable to a different maverick from the one...
  17. 2000 Watt Removable Inverter Installation

    I’ve been wondering about this. The Prius will let you run the a/c and just run the engine a couple minutes a few times an hour. Small people can actually camp in one. (Not me for sure). But… a teardrop camper could be powered this way. Basically the ICE engine becomes a smooth quiet...
  18. 24 Hybrid XL + co pilot 360 price?

    Same here. XL Hybrid, cp360, hitch. 27,660 - farm bureau$500 and - rollover private offer $2750. $24,410 barring any surprises. All I need or want.
