  1. Traded Maverick for VW Atlas Cross Sport

    MUCH more luxurious, in the SEL Premium trim I got. Much more legroom front and back. Slightly more towing capacity. Yep, the 2024's had infotainment issues. I got a 2025, no issues. Got a huge discount, time will tell if it's reliable.
  2. Traded Maverick for VW Atlas Cross Sport

    It was fun while I had it, zero issues, just wanted something else. Got a VW Atlas Cross Sport.
  3. Oil Change DIY - any negatives regarding warranty?

    There is no need to keep or scan receipts. Just update the Ford website with what you did.
  4. Poor low beam road lighting performance on the Maverick

    No issues with the low beams in my Lariat.
  5. 1st Battery Saver Mode since AGM Install

    AGM doesn't fix parasitic draw...
  6. Anyone ever have issues getting warranty service at dealers they didn't buy from?

    Still unclear whether this anecdote is a denial to honor a warranty.
  7. Anyone ever have issues getting warranty service at dealers they didn't buy from?

    They can no more opt out of extended warranty repairs than they can opt out of normal warranty repairs. Why would they want to? Ford is paying them to do the work.
  8. Battery desulphation

    Absolutely no need to disconnect the battery.
  9. Oil Analysis Companies

    If you don't like them telling you the truth, that your oil lasts much longer than you think it does, why bother testing the oil at all? Just change it a whatever more frequent interval that you make up because it makes you feel better.
  10. Anyone ever have issues getting warranty service at dealers they didn't buy from?

    i have never been treated any differently obtaining service regardless of where I purchased the car. Service departments are separate from the sales department.
  11. 87 Octane in an EcoBoost with GPF

    Totally wrong. O2 sensors keep mixture lean regardless of octane. 87 octane does not result in rich mixture and unburned fuel.
  12. 2025 Ecoboost with a GPF

    GPF might be more reliable than DPF's, as the soot load is a fraction. However DPF problems are not EXTREMELY rare, they are very common. I have several diesel tractors with DPF's and some are trouble free and some are one CEL after another. Limp mode. Ask owners of pickup trucks how trouble...
  13. Oil change recommendation both Ford and consumer

    The manual does not say to change every 5,000 miles except in frequent dust/sand. That picture is 'when to expect the oil life monitor to tell you to change under these conditions', which you conveniently cropped out of the picture.
  14. Oil change recommendation both Ford and consumer

    He said flat towing...no effect on oil life. The oil life monitor is not inaccurate. Either change it when the monitor tells you to, which is Ford's recommendation. Or change according to some made up more frequent internet advice interval for 'peace of mind'.
  15. Future of Maverick after Escape discontinued?

    Cancelling the Escape/Corsair has nothing to do with the Bronco Sport/Maverick. The 1st 2 sales are dwindling while the latter 2 are strong. The fact that platforms are shared is irrelevant. The Escape is very long in the tooth and uncompetitive with the CR-V, RAV4 and CX-5/CX-50.
  16. Store key fob in faraday bag to prevent theft?

    This method of stealing cars is very uncommon and very overhyped.
  17. Upgrade 2K Tow Package to 4K Tow Package?

    Definitely cheaper and easier to trade. The 4K tow package is a bargain for what's included.
  18. Changing Dial Shifter?

    This has never been discussed before.
