  1. Creating "dog mode"

    I totally get this - I like to take my dog on adventures all over town (hiking, swimming, picnics, wineries, pet shops, etc.)... and would love to be able to make a quick stop at the grocery store on the way home. Even here in Seattle the summers get too hot to let anyone just sit in the car...
  2. No 240W USB C? (Recommended USB C for Android Auto?)

    I'm going with this: the 240w cable is meant for HIGH SPEED DATA TRANSFER (like for an external hard drive)... and the phone might severely overheat if it tried to accept 240w of charging, so the phone might have a safety restriction against using a cable with that type of thruput. Cable is...
  3. Under hood fire recall - anyone done fix yet?

    I bought my 22 XLT used while still under the 'fire' recall. The dealer wouldn't sell it without an OK from Ford... it took a few months, but they "fixed it". never told me what they did. Rumor here is that they drilled some holes in the oil pan to let engine fluids leak out so there's less...
  4. Engineering Explained buys a Maverick and explains why the Maverick rocks

    I was neck & neck against an F150 Lightning at the ferry terminal yesterday... didn't really have a chance to "hit it", though. LOL. Probably was for the best.
  5. Engineering Explained buys a Maverick and explains why the Maverick rocks

    As an engineer myself (I work with gas turbines)... I didn't learn anything about the Maverick's actual engineering from that video. Neat that his 2.0 is faster off the line than the 6.2 F150, though. Really cool. Not something I care about, remotely... but cool. Curious if the 2.0 ecoboost...
  6. Extended Flat Towing

    They're discussing recreational towing, like behind a motorhome. This is available for the Hybrid only. This was the big reason we chose the Maverick - as a toad for our motorhome.
  7. Tow hooks

    Are you talking about equipment to flat tow? Only the hybrid is flat-towable...you can get a baseplate installed that will have front tow hook attachments. See this thread: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/does-anyone-know-which-is-the-best-base-plate-for-flat-towing.39715/
  8. I’m dreaming of Ford offering a six speed manual with my 2.0 eco-boost Maverick…

    Sign me up for the manual transmission. I miss the control i had with the stick. Although the one speed eCVT hybrid is growing on me.
  9. Harbor freight tailgate step ladder...

    I went with a piece of gym equipment... but I use it to help my big dog climb into the back seat. :) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP6S3BT7
  10. Goodbye 2022 Hybrid, hello 2023 Hybrid

    I'd like to thank whoever traded in or sold their Chili Pepper Red '22 hybrid XLT with 45k miles on it... I just bought it!! Ford dealer in Marysville, WA had it on their lot. I've only had it a week... and most of my driving has been very tame, due to my 7month old puppy riding in the back...
  11. New Gal!

    Hi All! I'm Tina. Live in the Seattle area - already noticed there's a PNW group here (whoohoo!). I'm a mechanical engineer with 30yr exp in gas turbine power generation (yes, that means I'm in my 50's)... but pay others to change the oil on my cars. LOL. Bought a new-to-me 2022 Hybrid XLT...
