On which EcoBoost engine? The 22-24 direct-injectedI engines take a different filter than the 25-up ones.

You can't fill directly from the container. There is an ant-siphon valve in there. Use the provided adapter. It should be in the jack bag or under the rear seat. This has been standard on Fords for 13 years now.

That truck has dried fuel in the vapor line and the pressure release valve, most probably due to topping it up after the first click-off. That's now a $400 repair. Like the manual states, don't do that.

Take a look on the sidewall at the expected life number. All of the factory tires say 600 or 650, meaning 60k or 65k respectively. Those numbers are federally mandated and tested, so if you can't get at least close to that then it's on you and not the tires. Lots of drivers can handily exceed it.

Two years ago, I bought a $20 Home Depot 6x8 outdoor carpet, cut it to fit and cut a piece for the tailgate and bolted it on with 4 body washers. It works really well and looks classy. If it gets dirty, I just pull it out and either shake it out or pressure wash it.

So the previous owner drove it very aggressively. You might want to tone it down and get your transmission fluid changed to try to recover from its very hard previous life. You're welcome.

Are you accounting for the switch to summer fuel that gets you about 10% better mileage than winter fuel?

Every other truck has become far too large to do their job today. The Maverick is bigger than my first Ranger, and almost exactly the same size as an 72 F150. You can't even park the other trucks at a mall or Costco without using 4 spots. All the others also only get 10 to 20mpg, while my...

People who drive like jerks tend to slag the factory tires, so ignore the morons. All of the factory tires will get 60k miles if you drive properly. 100k tires cost mileage with thicker tread. With the excepton of the Tremor, the factory tires are all very good for mileage. Aftermarket with...

Understood, thankyou. Ford promised a fix would be available in 2Q26. Is this still in the pipeline, or are we not going to get the real fix now that they've discovered yet another module with poor software sucking the battery down? Is the ABS fix and yet another ACCM fix going to be it?

Everyone I'm aware of seems to be able to routinely exceed the rated mileage, so its got to be something that you're doing. A truck is not a Ferrari and this one has a c/d of 0.63 and a lot more frontal area than a Ferrari, or a bit less than the other monster trucks. Just remember that...

Ford has funny ideas about what a fully charged battery is. They mark 80% as 100%, and it never gets anywhere near 100% ever. That's why EFL batteries are only lasting 1 year and AGM only 2 years instead of the expected 5 to 8 years. If you don't believe it, disconnect the battery after a...

The brakes took more effort, but the Hybrid drivetrain just shrugged it off.

And *A LOT* more expensive.

1" or 25mm spacers come with their own grade 10 lugs in secondary mounting holes, and the existing lugs do not need to be cut to fit. Just bolt them on. I had to add them on the rear with my 2" flares or it looked weird, but didn't need them on the front. Be aware that in some jurisdictions...

The 25-up wheels used a different TPMS frequency, so you'll need new ones if you swap to a 22-24 wheel. Bigger rims cost more, and the bigger tires for those rims cost a lot more for unknown reasons like ripping you off, etc. As you know, the bigger rims mean that you have less sidewall, that...

The battery is not fine. How are you determining that it is fine?

If your dome light does not come on when you open the door, then your battery is in deep sleep mode and is very close to critical failure.

Its probably worth about one mpg in underbody aerodynamic improvement, along with quite a bit cleaner engine compartment. Is there any vehicle made today that does not have an underbody aerodynamic shield? Yes its a small pain at oilchange time, so buy better oil that lasts a little longer.

I currently have a 23 Hybrid, and would get another in a heartbeat. Realistically it gets double the mileage and is much smoother driving. The low-stress engine will easily go 500k and the transmission 8-10x as long as the EcoBoost. Even the weak C/V joints will go a lot further due to the...
