  1. Installed Gator soft tri fold cover

    It's been working out great for me! Any idea what's the best product to use on it to help protect from sun damage and keep it looking nice and black for a long time?
  2. Observations From A New Maverick And First-Time Hybrid Owner

    I'm with you, My complaints are minimal. The biggest gripe is that it won't stay in ECO mode and always reverts to normal. 1000 miles in and despite the really cold weather (excess ICE use for heat) I'm still getting 35mpg- Hand calculated.
  3. Pre-colission assist and automatic emergengy braking - how does it work?

    @codavis2 , @B_kiz Ford description also claims it can prevent a maverick from hitting a pedestrian. Has it ever beeped at you for that? I'd really like to experience how it works. I think experiencing it in action would make me feel much safer if my teen drivers ever use the Mav.
  4. Pre-colission assist and automatic emergengy braking - how does it work?

    I have the ford copilot. Trying to figure out how precolission assost and AEB works. Is it something I've got to turn on, or an always on feature? I'm curious how it functions. Any idea how i could test it out in a safe way (without risking damaging my truck?) I've pulled up real close to...
  5. Getting poor gas mileage (Hybird)

    He's only driven 120 miles so far. In 2 weeks. That means it's likely short trips. And he mentions it's SINGLE DIGIT COLD....which means the engine needs to warm up on every short trip. You should be happy that you're even getting that much..... Give it at least a full tank. Then hand-calculate...
  6. Hybrid first tank 34 MPG in Chicagoland

    I'd love to hear from someone in Maine experiencing the -20 degree cold right now. The ICE would probably be running nonstop to keep the heat going.
  7. Hybrid first tank 34 MPG in Chicagoland

    EXACTLY what I thought! My other cars have always switched to "--- miles left" once I got under 30.
  8. Hybrid first tank 34 MPG in Chicagoland

    Using the heater in ARIZONA???????? I thought it was always 125 degrees there? 😂 Any word on if the A/C will cause a similar drop in mileage?
  9. Hybrid first tank 34 MPG in Chicagoland

    It took me a couple weeks, but I finally managed to nearly empty my first tank of gas. Hand-calculated 34 mpg, mostly city-ish...suburban....driving. This was in spite of me forgetting to switch to ECO 90% of the time (Why can't the Mav stay in the last drive mode?), excessive running of the ICE...
  10. MPG with primarily 'in city/town' driving?

    Hybrid owner here. I'm only halfway through my first tank, but averaging around the 38-40mpg rate. It's been really cold in Chicagoland lately, so I think the additional ICE use to help with heat has been taking a slight toll on mileage. It looks like the warmer climate owners are getting better...
  11. My Maverick Needs a Replacement Gas Tank

    The rental was part of the Ford bulletin. You might still be entitled to it. I'd ask the dealer.
  12. My Maverick Needs a Replacement Gas Tank

    This recall really sucks. I hope those affected take advantage of the free rental car. It surprises me that Ford would even offer that, as it is a HUUUUGE expense, and since the vehicles weren't officially "purchased" yet....it might have given them enough legal loophole to skimp out. My Kia...
  13. Suprise review! How the Maverick holds up to a T-Bone accident! Edited with phitos of other car

    Glad you are both OK. Wonder if you can stick the other guy's insurance with a +$15,000 dealer markup replacement cost. 😂
  14. Worst Hybrid MPG to date? Video review/fill-up and more flex bed use

    Are you using ECO mode? The default is always Normal, and it must be changed EVERY DANG TIME you start the car. They need to fix this!
  15. Hybrid MPG Inconsistencies

    I bet this is exactly the case. OP should keep monitoring, but it should get better with the warm temps. I'd bet the ICE runs much more often to warm up the car during the winter.
  16. Smelling coolant

    Another person with a similar problem said the smell was kinda like "rotten eggs". Same for you?
  17. Smelling coolant

    Hybrid or Ecoboost? Quite a few Hybrid owners mentioning problems with remote start via FordPass. When I pick up mine next week, I think i'm gonna hold off using the remote start feature.......
  18. Finally averaged 21mpg

    If I was a bazillionaire, I'd love nothing more than to purchase a Shelby F-150 and drive the truck to the limit of it's capabilities. Nothing better than driving a big-ass truck. But as a Dad of three with one in college and two more approaching it, the Hybrid Mav is the closest I'm gonna get...
