My question would be if that is the case, do we expect or should we plan for regular replacements every X amount of miles?

Seems dependent on how much power is being used....below 20% on the guage, maybe a little bit of vibration, but get it up to 30-50% or more and it is a pretty noticeable thing. I'll have to crawl under the thing this weekend and take a look.

I've started to notice that my 2022 with 58k seems to have a vibration when the accelerator is used. I don't feel any vibration through the steering wheel, so I don't think it's tire-related. It doesn't vibrate when coasting. I need to "test" and see if it's happening only when the engine is...

Still have my '22 Maverick Lariat. It's got about 57k miles on it and it has a few minor annoyances with a faint buzzing sound when not using the gas pedal and a body panel or two that wants to make a noise here and there. The liner along the upper part of the driver's door has a couple of...

I got 46.5k out of my OEM set. Replaced them with some BF Goodrich Advantage Control tires from Costco a couple months back.

Replaced my original OEM battery with an Everstart AGM H4 battery today. Thanks to "Dad" for the instructions. I didn't have to remove any of the plastic around the battery. I was able to maneuver the battery hold-down piece back into place with a paint stirring stick and a telescoping...

Yep, Heybales, I would have other uses for it and have considered buying one in the past for my mower battery that sits through the winter. Edited to add: Picked up an AGM battery to replace the original OEM one. Voltage reads 12.6. Order a charger and "top it off" or install as-is? Unless...

So I need to replace the battery in my Maverick. Should I buy a charger ($60 on Amazon for a NOCO 5A) before installing or just check the voltage to make sure it's sufficient and install? What voltage might call for charging it before installing?

Just found that last night, catrikejoe. I may go with that or I may just use some heavy-duty rachet straps in another setup I found. Don't think the winch is worth the trouble given I'd only use it a few times a year.

I thought the current draw might be the issue/limitation.

Well, had my second instance of DSM occur after the Mav sat over the weekend from about 2 on Friday until 6:30am on Monday after about 1500 miles since the last instance, so I suppose it's time to shop for an AGM battery. Anything unusual about a battery swap on a Maverick compared to an ICE...

I'm investigating adding a small winch to the bed of my maverick, probably attaching a divider at the cab end of the bed. I'm needing something like that to get deer into the bed of the truck. I've had a bulging disk for twenty-plus years but have never had any serious issues with it, but I'm...

As an additional note to my original post, I've regularly gotten the "remote features disabled" since I got my Maverick back in June 2022. Since I've only ever used the remote features a few times, it's never been an issue, just a very minor annoyance to get the message since I regularly drive...

Yeah, HeyBales, I've gotten the remote features disabled message before on multiple occasions and it's never been anything but a curiosity for me because my Maverick is a daily commuter and rarely sits for more than a few days at a time unless we're out-of-town. This was different. When I tried...

Is this particular to the Maverick or is it an issue with other Ford hybrids? Hybrids have been around a while now, so if it's particular to the Maverick I gotta wonder if it's something with trying to get the price point down. I had a Honda Ridgeline for just over 13 1/2 years and 215k+ miles...

I haven't been here as frequently as I used to be. Is the general consensus that an AGM battery will help and/or resolve the issue? Is this a sign of wear on the OEM battery and an "end of life" kind of thing for it? I'll search here some more for sure if it happens again.

Had my 2022 Lariat go into "deep sleep" mode yesterday afternoon at about 48,700 miles and 2 years and 5 months of ownership. Drove it in the morning on a couple of short 10-minute trips, parked it around noon and it was in DSM at 1:15pm. Had to jump-start it to get it going. Four other short...

Well, I asked ChatGPT what to do about it and it gave me some ideas. 😀 I was able to take a long zip tie and "feel" around and located the paper. Now I've just got to find the right tool to move the paper up enough to be able to pull it out. I'll update with results after I try a few things.

Revised original post to clarify the paper was behind the passenger-side visor.

Well, as the title states, today I was driving and had a Costco certificate sitting between the passenger-side sun visor and the roof when the piece of paper falls out of it's place and onto the dash and slides away between the windshield and dash. Had I not seen it happen while I was driving I...
