  1. Restraint Indicator Lamp Warning message via Ford Pass app

    Well, I guess you could say I don't use the app much, but last night I noticed that in the Ford Pass app that there was the following message: "restraint indicator lamp warning - the restraint control module has detected a fault with the second row driver side seat belt sensor" (Mar2023)...
  2. With hybrids and EVs, will "passing down"/restoring cars become a thing of the past?

    Just thinking out loud here and pulling in a bit of American nostalgia and Americana, but who thinks that with the rise of hybrids and EVs and given the current issue of a finite lifespan for batteries, do we think that most hybrids and EVs will become impractical to "rebuild" and restore like...
  3. Tire rotation pattern

    Question: the manual shows or at least seems to indicate that the rotation pattern is to cross-rotate the rear tires to the front and move the front to back. I ran across a video from Test Driven TV and they just rotated front-to-back/back-to-front on same side. I went with the manual when I...
  4. TPMS vs gauge pressure - are yours in sync?

    Quick question, I finally got around to checking tire pressure with a gauge and the difference was 7-8 pounds higher with a gauge than what the TPMS was showing. Like others I found my pressure with a gauge to be 43-45 pounds while the TPMS was showing 37-39. This is the first vehicle I've had...
  5. Updated: First tank MPG results - 36.4 MPG with trip high of 48.4

    So, just refilled my Maverick for the first time. Drove 460.3 miles and filled up with 12.697 gallons (no top-off after gas pump clicked off). Works out to a computed mileage of 36.3 while the computer said 36.4. Driving was in Memphis area, which is relatively flat. I would estimate 50%...
  6. Window sticker has "NB", not "NA" - why????

    I was notified today (5/5) via Ford email that my Maverick Lariat Hybrid is built. The window sticker has "NB" as the destination other threads and google searches say "NA" (North America) is the norm. "What's up with that?" Oddly enough, it seems this has shown up on other Ford makes and the...
  7. Order tracker stuck in loop?

    I was able to view my Mav order that is now in production and download the window sticker yesterday but today when I enter the info it just comes back to the entry page with the order number and VIN wiped out. Tried a different browser with the same result and even a private browser window -...
  8. Sooo, which is my order date?

    So I originally placed my order on 8/17 for a hybrid XLT with stuff, then revised my order on 9/15 to a Lariat with stuff. I think my order date is still considered to be 8/17 but know some changes - depending on timing - can bump the order date to whenever the last change was made - but I...
  9. Mobile phone charging speed? Normal, fast or super fast?

    So I've got a Samsung S21. My previous phone was an S10 and before that I had an S7. Each had a bump up in charging speed, from the normal rate for a USB/microUSB(or whatever) to a USB/USB-C (fast charging) to my latest phone with it's "super fast" charging when using the 25W wall charger...
  10. Constraint list(s)?????

    Is there a central thread tracking the various constaints?
  11. Scheduling impact of order change?

    I placed my original order for a Mav hybrid XLT on 8/17, but then revised it on 9/15 to a Lariat w/Lux pkg to get a few features that I wanted (primarily push button start and adaptive cruise control) for the long-term since I plan to keep this thing for at least a decade. Now that hybrids are...
  12. My reliability gamble - returning to Ford

    So, guys, I've been partial to Fords in earlier years. I inherited a '76 Maverick from my parents when I was 16, then bought an '86 Tempo new, inherited/"bought for a dollar" an '86 Taurus from my parents and had a '96 Windstar before ending up with a new 2006 Ridgeline whose untimely end in Jan...
  13. Does this Maverick count?

    So does this one count? Starting my driving in '80 with this '76 version and drove it until I bought my first car, a new '86 Tempo 2-door with 5-spd manual in May 1986. Summers in Memphis with no A/C weren't the most enjoyable drives. Vinyl seats. No P/S. Straight 6 cyl. Probably 3-spd trans...
