Each time when I have to adjust the clock of the truck (e.g. for day light saving time change), the clock goes crazy. Last time (6 month ago), it took me several attempts and it finally worked. This time I have tried it at least 20 times and it still doesn't work. I even tried to reset the...
My hybrid XLT has almost 18k miles and everything has been so far more or less great. One of the small hiccups is the rough idle of my gas engine. I thought after the software update to fix the catalytic converter overheating issue, the update also took care of the rough idle. But it is not the...
Was wondering how useful the inside cabin power plug is in case there is any emergency. I don't have a generator and was wondering what the best purpose for this feature of the truck would be in case there is a major power outage.
Good morning fellas,
My Hybrid Maverick is now around 15 month and 17k miles old (was built end of November 2021). Things have been great so far. I had it for oil change and tire rotation around 7k miles and I also had the trailer brake service bulletin and software update (for overheating the...
We usually use our family car for driving our baby from A to Z but sometimes my wife takes the family car and I am alone with the baby. In case we need drive somewhere, I just bought a baby car seat to install it in my Maverick. I am sort of hesitant to place the car seat at the usual location...
I thought maybe everyone can list few reasons why you think the Maverick is the best truck in the world. I start with my points. BTW, I promise I don't work for Ford and get paid by them, I just love my Truck:
- Is damn good looking
- The low bed makes it so easy to load and unload things
-...
I have my Hybrid XLT since December and have put over 9000 miles on it. I love my truck. I payed out of the door around 28k. Now I am offered 30.5 k for my used truck. I really love the Maverick but this is a tempting offer. I am thinking to sell the Maverick and order a new one right away. In...
It seems that the max payload includes fuel and passengers. My question is, how much max can you put on your truck bed with one driver and half tank of gas? I know is simple math but asking from the practical point of view. Thank you in advance!
I have been using the OEM all weather mats for several month now. I liked the look of it at the beginning. But after several month of use, even when you keep them as clean as you can, they look "old and dirty". I keep my truck very clean and can't stand this "dirty" look of these mats. I just...
I am looking for a set of decent all weather/summer tires with white letters for my XLT Hybrid. I think tires with white letters look really great on the Maverick, even with the relativity small XLT wheels. I don't want to paint the stock tires, I think with these specific tires, it wouldn't...
I remember few month ago Ford announced that they will start build cars/trucks without some of the essential microships until the chip shortage is over. Once they have enough chips, the dealerships will add the missing chips to the vehicles. Is this still the case for the newly build Mavericks?
As I took delivery of my Maverick in December last year, the gas mileage was great. With the first tank I almost got 600 miles and moving forward I was averaging always 40mpg+. I had done all the software updates 2 or 3 weeks ago and noticed that the city mpg had gone down significantly but my...
I had recently all my modules updated. In one session they updated the PCM for the rough idle issue and in the second session they updated the trailer brake module. After the second update, my brake feel completely weird. First thing I noticed was as I first time turned the key to turn on the...
Yesterday I arrived home and drove on my driveway uphill, stopped the truck and put in P. The truck rolled back a little bit and stopped(I know I should have put the parking brake on before that...). I turned it off but noticed I wanted to drive a little more forward. Turned it back on and put...
I wanted write a short report about few new toys/things I installed this weekend. Will add later some pictures.
1. Rear under seat safe: Pretty easy installation. There are 4 self tapping bolts, you place the unit in the designated position and tighten the bolts, that is it. If I had to do it...
I opened the hood this morning and noticed that one specific part of the engine is super dirty (see pictures below). The dirt is limited only to the section marked in the picture, other parts of the engine look like brand new. My neighbor thought that it was painted but I could remove part of it...
Have you checked the Maverick market recently? I am not talking about cars.com or other online site's new cars section. Normally those are fake prices and as soon as you get there they welcome you with their markups and BS add ons. I am talking about the used market. Those prices are a better...
Any experience with scanners for the maverick? which is the best? I want it for general purposes to see what is going on with my truck without the forscan.
Is there an increased risk of fire with hybrids during accidents? I have seen several cases with hybrid vehicles where the cars caught immediately fire during an accident and I doubt it would have been the same with a regular gas car.
In all the Videos I have seen so far, it looks always so simple to change the position of the cables of the tailgate. I have tried it now few times to change the position of those cables to have the tailgate in the angled position but somehow I haven't managed to unhook the cables from the...
