Thanks, That is the answer I was looking for and the engineering I had hoped for.

What I'm more concerned about is everyday perils of driving with a set of batteries exposed to splash and road salted slush, etc.

One of the hard learned lessons from the Hellene was that EV batteries can catch fire after being flooded. When Milton approached, the media warned owners of EVs to take their vehicles to parking garages or other places where they would not be exposed to flood water. This was important because...

I took my Maverick to the dealership to have the latest Sync 3 update installed after receiving a notice in the mail. Afterwards, I noticed my cellphone was not linked. Okay, no problem, went to the bluetooth page and re-linked it. Got a curious message that the pairing had failed and no serial...

Waiting for my 2024 Lariat, I have been looking at bed covers. The hard tri-folds looked attractive, but one thing bothered me. When you need the maximum bed space, the cover lifts up blocking the rear window. This leaves the driver only the side view mirrors to look out for traffic. Trucks can...

I am a firm believer in catch cans for direct injected engines. So, when My 2024 hybrid Maverick came, I planned on installing one with minimum miles on the odometer. Looking at the plumbing, I was uncertain how to hook it up. Noted that the hose connectors are the one time use kind. I went to...

Water vapor from combustion products getting past the rings is the source. As the engine sits overnight, it is subject to radiational cooling and its temperature can fall below the dew point. When this happens, the vapor condenses into a liquid. The old saying "water and oil don't mix" isn't...

Interesting, I also have a Hybrid Lariat in Terrain with a build week of 10/30/23. I live in New Port Richey. We also have a Ford Cafe in Wesley Chapel for potential meetups.

I inherited a 2016 Lincoln hybrid and gave it to my wife. She was no longer working and would often ride with me in my car. After sitting for a week or so, the 12 volt battery would be discharged. After this happened twice, I inquired at the Lincoln dealer and they replied this was a frequent...

Just received my build schedule for week of 10/30 for a MY24 Lariat Hybrid no other options. Placed the order on July 17.
