  1. MPG towing a Harley

    I just towed my ā€˜01 Triumph ST on my flatbed trailer for 550 miles w my Eco. Both trailer and bike weigh less than your setup. I lost about 5 mpg from normal. Maybe that helps you a bit. But, definitely not the same setup that you will have. Chuck
  2. Quick option for a bed mat!

    Carpet…everyone usually has some spare or old piece in the basement. I have one that I cut to perfectly fit. I use it when moving something I (or the wife) doesn’t want scratched. I have the Ford spray in bedliner and it’s pretty rough.
  3. Any spray for easier removal of dead bugs for long road trip?

    I use this stuff every wash, and if I am taking a trip I give the whole front end an extra spray when dry just after the pre-trip wash. Nice that it doesn’t turn the black plastic white, and so far no haze on the headlights either. It’s pretty cheap too (like me). Easy to use and works great...
  4. Virginia 2024 XLT wheels and tires for sale , 4000 actual miles. TPMS sensors and lug nuts. 600.00

    Hi Bill…I’m an hour or so North of you in Orange County and am very interested in all 4. Do you have a tire depth gauge to measure the remaining tread? I’m on the road for a few days but would like to drive down and have a look later this week if they are still available.
  5. What bolts to buy for cargo in bed? - tired of buying the wrong ones

    These…from Amazon. I have Ford’s spray in liner and had to clean out the hole.
  6. The backup camera recall(fix) any issues, I have one

    They came to the house and did it in 45 minutes. Sweet! Find another dealer…
  7. Noise when a pot hole or speed bump are encountered from right rear wheel well

    Hmmm…Unfortunately I just had a flat tire and had to use the ā€œdonutā€ spare. Since I was in a hurry I really didn’t notice the spare positioning. Good news…the tire was easily plugged and I’m back on the road w 4 round tires. But if some kind soul here could take a pic of the spare in it’s...
  8. How many miles did you get from your OEM factory tires?

    45,000 miles in 2 years with between 6/32ā€ and 7/32ā€ left on the OEM Conti’s. I am starting to research replacements…. The Conti’s treated me Ok, but I’d like a tire with a bit longer tread life and a little better winter grip. I do lots of highway driving so noise is a issue too…although the...
  9. why do the rear speakers sound so tinny

    I replaced them with better speakers from Crutchfield. A bit better, but not really worth it in my opinion. Upgrading the fronts afterwards made a huge difference.
  10. Touchscreen going black while driving

    ā€˜24 XL did it twice over 35k miles. Both times I was on long highway runs just listening to tunes. Both times it reset itself and all was fine. Since getting the rear camera software fix done it’s been fine over about 10k more miles…. Did you get that update done?
  11. New Maverick Owner - Buzzing noise when accelerating

    I too hear the ā€œsewing machineā€ noise…especially when cold. 48k miles and still sounds the same! It’s a known quirk discussed on this site…time for a search. Ford did not include the soundproofing pieces between the engine compartment and the doors on the ā€˜24 XL’s (and maybe other versions I...

    Awesome!!

  14. Recall for Backup Cam…Mobile Service?

    Hi All, I’ve finally decided to get the Backup Camera Recall done on my ā€˜04 XL. The dealer said they can do this with their mobile service. That’s great, but I haven’t heard of anyone having this recall done using the mobile service. I’ve only heard of this getting done at the dealer. Has...
  15. HELP with opinions: SEE pictures. Painting a BUG Deflector to match yes or no??

    I like the black one on my white truck…kinda goes w the black trim everywhere else on the Mav.
  16. Four Minor Complaints with My 2024

    Yup…I have the same problem. I usually just hit the window defrost button and let that run for a few minutes. I do lots of long highway driving and it gets pretty annoying. Lots of theories on this site, but so far no fixes. Does it in manual and auto modes…Brrrr!
  17. Keep 23 maverick another yr. or order a 26. Differential cost. Warranty etc

    9k miles? It’s barely broken in! If it’s been trouble free, why waste the money…unless you’ve got plenty of it. If that’s the case then why buy a Maverick and not something much nicer? I’m kinda a cheapie, so I’m hoping for well over 100k. My other vehicle (6 cyl Dodge Journey) with almost...
  18. Continental ProContact tires mileage?

    40k miles w between 5 and 6/32 … Lots of highways…
  19. Uncomfortable Seats / Speakers awful (XL model)

    I had a Lincoln MKZ that I wanted to love, but the seat wouldn’t let me drive more than an hour without causing thigh and hip pain. Traded that in on my Maverick and very happy now. Everyone is built different….sounds like adding a spacer or two is the first and cheapest step. Maybe try that...
