That is a scary thought, you are right they knew the pinto issues.
I still don't trust Ford entirely. Or any manufacturer, the whole lifetime fluid or 150,000 mi change for transmission fluid seems crazy. I know that there are people that swear that changing the auto trans fluid on the hybrid...
Those look great, I did not realize the mach e rims would fit the Maverick.
I currently have the xlt alloys on my Maverick. I want to put the steel wheels on for getting firewood, and also for winter to keep Alloy Wheels in good shape. Being in New England I am afraid that the salt on the roads...
That is what I am reading/ hearing.
I didn't realize I needed different lug nuts. I am ordering those online, I'll need center caps too.
It is the largest size that fits stock without rubbing I read.
I am going to be ordering the correct lug nuts. If these tires take too much mpg away I will just use them for winters and switch back to the alloys for spring- fall with a cheaper more fuel efficient tire being on the alloys
Does anyone have any center caps that they are willing to part with?
Thank you, I have a 2024 Maverick hybrid 2wd
I found a set of steel wheels with tires, and existing sensors in them.
My goal was to buy this new set of steel wheels 245/75/17 to replace my alloy wheels that were 225/75/17.
The steel wheels do not have the center cap, or lug nuts. I was hoping...
I found a set of 4 245 65 17 tires for $480.
They are on steel Maverick Wheels.
I have an XLT with alloy wheels 225/65 17.
My question is will I be able to just put these larger tires on steel wheels directly onto my truck? Should the studs, lug nuts and tpms sensors all be plug and play?
Today was a first.
I had a red box show up on screen about charging system fault. It only was up a second or two.
I plugged In my obd sensor and saw this code. If it comes back I will contact ford.
I posted on Reddit and someone said that it may be the heat exchanger.
Thank you! I am at 32k miles and I will buy the ford transmission fluid from dealer so that I can do a drain and refill. You are right, best not to risk the motors with wrong fluid!
It is entirely possible the key was not out when I was opening the door probably rushing. And opened while removing the key I thought I had the key out but I must have been mistaken. I have a 24, no recalls done.
XLT, so the key goes in ignition. I will have to mess with it to get it to happen...
How does it handle with the full weight?
When mine was approaching the limit it felt very sluggish in steering, and like it had body roll, the rear delayed compared to the front in steering.
I Had hundreds less lbs in there.
