  1. How much should the battery lose when parked?

    I should have clarified: I think it was in deep sleep because the dome & dash lights didn't come on when I opened the door; I didn't check the app. Even after a 30-min drive to the dealer, they reported the battery was low on charge. I don't recall any other battery saver actions.
  2. How much should the battery lose when parked?

    Can't answer your question, but I may have the cure. My battery kept draining due to my low-use and short drives, and the truck kept going into deep sleep in the garage. I disabled every communication/telemetry option I could from the driver's seat (menu options only, I pulled no fuses), and...
  3. Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

    Sorry, in my world RFP meant Request For Proposals. Is that your meaning? Are you seeing RFPs requiring human replies?
  4. USB flash drive - sorting files

    I'm not in the truck, but you can list songs by albums. You have to pull up the usb as a source, and the initial sort will list all songs. Somewhere on the right is an "album" label with a return arrow. Hit that and the album list will come up. Hit the album you want and all those songs will...
  5. Does the Maverick User manual address how to charge the 12 volt battery on an EB

    I had the same question, and decided to buy a new NOCO Genius. My old Battery Tender claimed it worked on AGM batteries, but it had no switch, so had to automatically detect the type (or not). I could not confirm it lowered the full-charge level for an AGM, as it's supposed to, so decided to...
  6. Tire size.

    Yes. 235/65 R17s came as a factory option on the "Machine-faced gray" wheels on my '24 Eco AWD.
  7. AWD and tire replacement

    I would only replace the two tires on the same axle. The AWD drives the front wheels mostly, just driving the rears at startup when slippery, so a small front/rear mismatch shouldn't hurt the system.
  8. Installing Auto Start/Stop adapter in 10 minutes with no pry tools

    Thank you for the great write-up, but your 10 minutes took me around 4 hours (my usual repair multiplier). I started out following your instructions, but scratched my by-no-means-gym arm on the inner console hardware, and had to stop to stem the bleeding. I also lost one of the bolts as it...
  9. Space White Metallic vs Desert Sand

    Desert Sand (or Terrain) for me - matches the dirt on our road.
  10. Braking when in reverse

    Front wheels hanging over the tailgate?
  11. 12V "Cigarette Lighter" power stays on after turning off my 2025 Maverick Lariat

    I was concerned about the on-time and also needed 2 outlets, so bought an adapter with 2 cables and an on/off switch ("Gelrhonr 12 v 1 to 2 Cigarette Lighter Splitter," $9 at Amazon). Works great.
  12. Does the Maverick User manual address how to charge the 12 volt battery on an EB

    I had a Battery Tender, and although the specs say it will work with AGM batteries, it has no special settings/switches, so I'm suspicious. AGMs don't like to be forced to full charge (I believe), so I think the charger needs to be set for that. I ended up buying a NOCO Genius to be safe. It has...
  13. How to check tire pressure?

    On my '24, I can toggle down with the steering wheel switch and get the pressure display on the screen in front of the driver. I forget if you have to enable that screen from the menu, but it's super easy.
  14. Fuel mileage drop....cold weather?

    Also, the ethanol mix in gas can significantly affect milage (up to ~10%). That can change with seasons as part of the refinery mix.
  15. Battery Maintainer - Where did you put the plug?

    I dropped mine down behind the grill and though the tow hook opening, where I velcro the 12v plug. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/where-to-route-battery-tender-wires-to-grill.53165/#post-909938
  16. Parking Lot Commandos: Door Dings

    I can park at the outer edge of an empty lot and there will still be a car too close to me when I return.
  17. No more Falken Tires made in the USA

    Yep. Just checked the Wildpeaks on my '24 Ecoboost AWD (FX4, but with the machined gray wheels, came with Wildpeaks). They were made in Thailand.
  18. What Apple CarPlay wireless devices are you using successfully?

    I have a LoboAir, which recently became annoyingly intermittent. Following Youtube advice, I tried a new cable, and everything was good again. Many of these cheap devices come with even cheaper USB cables - that may be as important as the brand you choose.
  19. Color choice question, Desert Sand

    I have a '24 XLT Eco 4K towing AWD in Terrain. Like the color, hides our dirt road dust perfectly.
  20. Current Nissan Frontier Owner, Future Maverick Owner (?)

    We had an '05 Frontier, King Cab, V6 (NISMO) for 18 years, and bought a '24 Ecoboost AWD, XLT, FX4. I added the machined-face gray wheels ($795) because I disliked the black FX4s, and they came with slightly upsized Falken Wildpeaks, which are really worth it. The Frontier was a great truck with...
