  1. Option regrets?

    I ordered a base XL with a hitch and inverter. Wish now I had added the CP360 for the remote mirrors. The 2024 has cruise control, so you won't have to add that.
  2. SSM posted for Hybrid Maverick brake problem: Brakes Grab During Light Braking When Applied At OrBelow 6.2 Mph (10 Km/h) -- 10/21/22

    After 25,000 miles in my XL hybrid Maverick, I have learned to shift to neutral in the rare occurence that I actually have to come to a full and complete stop, open the drivers door and engage my shoe sole with the dirt. Usually, I interpret the acronym STOP to be Slow, Then Onward Proceed...

  4. Tested: Slippery Mode is best for highest MPG (in Hybrid Maverick)

    Which mode is best for 80 mph on the interstate into a headwind pulling a trailer. 16 mpg displayed.
  5. ForScan mod - enable all drive modes: eco, sport, mud and snow (confirmed working)

    It works OK, when FMC did the recall for overheating CAT, they wiped it off. Put it back in and it still works. Slippery mode is probably just as good for snow/ice.
  6. Video: Summer Heat Hybrid MPG Loss Explained

    Head vs. tail wind are the big variables for me, driving 150 miles per day. Low temps do affect mileage adversely, but so far I seem to get better mileage in the hotter weather ~43 mpg highway . A/C doesn't seem to affect fuel economy.
  7. Answered, thank you! - Help me understand if the Maverick can tow a 1,707 pound trailer.

    I bought a timpte 720 car trailer 150 miles from home and drug it back with my hybrid xl. It got the trailer home. I got 42 mpg on the way over to get it and 12 mpg on the trip home in tow/haul mode. Wished for a trailer brake controller a couple of times on the trip back. Just me and the...

    Which mode are you using? You may not want “econo” mode in extreme heat.
  9. Hybrid in hot weather

    I just reach up and touch the a/c lines going into the battery compartment from under the vehicle. One of them should be cold, cold...
  10. Hybrid in hot weather

    Make sure your traction battery is being air-conditioned. I had to clean the a/c filter on our old escapes's battery last week when it was acting that way. Nice that the Mav has electric a/c rather than belt drive.
  11. Man, I want to love it…..

    For me, it was an F-450 Platinum or the Maverick. Love the maverick for my commuter. Thinking about taking it to Alaska behind the Valencia.
  12. How do you classify the size of a Pickup?

    Compared to my medium duty freightliner, it is a light-duty truck. Medium-duty trucks generally weigh between 14,000 and 26,000 pounds, while heavy-duty trucks weigh between 26,001 and 33,000 pounds. Wonder how long it will be until somebody builds out a dually mav with overloads?

  14. Prioritized List of Upgrades for XL Mav

    Forscan cable, cruise control buttons, ford tonneau cover, lane keeping turn signal stalk, cheap seat covers. What color?
  15. Anyone having issues with the soft tonneau cover?

    Is the tonneau tight as a drum? Try spreading the rails farther apart and forcing the edge of the cover over into the velcro to make the cover taut.

    I told them that I ordered genuine ford parts and installed them myself.
