  1. Giveaway: If you could add one feature to the Maverick, what would it be?

    Either a manual transmission or the ability to manually control the automatic. (Shift paddles or at least a button to select a gear.) Auto stop start delete. full sized seats! Why is the seat bottom so short? A longer bed. Just an extra cab.
  2. Got rid of auto stop-start for 17 bucks

    Spot on! I can’t stand all the electronics on my XL eco boost! I’m going to sell mine. Even the touch screen (radio) drives me nuts. I recently got a 2006 E-350 van. 415,000 miles on it. On its second engine and transmission. The thing purrs like a kitten. Hasn’t got a single leak or use any...
  3. New Release Test---Door Anti Kick Pad (Only Sample)

    Yaaa baby🤣
  4. New Release Test---Door Anti Kick Pad (Only Sample)

    This would be great! What material is this? I would like a thin carpet piece. Something that wouldn’t show the scuffs.
  5. šŸ”„ Just Swapped FoMoCo Muffler for MagnaFlow 12255 — UNBELIEVABLE Difference!

    As I start the uphill portion I add a little throttle to maintain the current speed. The trans is slow to react. When it does it’s too much. It only needs to drop 1 gear but instead it will drop 2 or 3. So there for I let off the throttle (slightly) because I’m going too fast up said hill. I...

  7. šŸ”„ Just Swapped FoMoCo Muffler for MagnaFlow 12255 — UNBELIEVABLE Difference!

    Off topic here. My’24 ecoboost shifts terribly! Normal mode is wildly inconsistent. Always in 2 or 3 gears too high. Twice I’ve floored it from about 30mph and literally counted out 4 seconds before it finally down shifted. Going up even a mild hill you have to give it a fair amount of throttle...
  8. Is This Mounted Too Low?

    This was my solution. I’m sure most won’t like it. I’ve never scraped it on anything. It’s quite solid. I used a 1. Inch long bolt with a lock washer and nut. It holds it tight. No flapping. I’d like to think it directs a little more air into the intercooler šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø. I couldn’t bring myself to...
  9. What's your "One" Pet Peeve

    I think I have an oddball truck (ā€˜24 XL eco boost 4K) the ā€œone touchā€ works when I put the window up but not down. It’s actually really sensitive. I rarely put my windows all the way down so maybe it does work then.šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø. I only have one option on the AWD, slippery. I thought all the AWD models...
  10. Broken active grille shutters on 2025 Ford Maverick

    Mine does too! There’s holes for a fin there on each. I just noticed the other day washing my truck. It’s been fairly cold here (PNW) lately and the ā€œshuttersā€ were almost closed. also curious why it the inter cooler has fins/ shutters? Isn’t a colder intake charge more efficient?
  11. Do you enjoy driving your Maverick?

    Thanks for saying that. I agree. Again some of my comments are about nearly all new vehicles (screens and transmission programming). I would have gotten a manual transmission if it were available. I’m a lifetime motorcyclist and drive large box trucks. No accidents in 20+ years. (Knock on...
  12. Do you enjoy driving your Maverick?

    Thanks! I’ll make some adjustments!
  13. Do you enjoy driving your Maverick?

    Thanks! I will start rooting around in therešŸ‘
  14. Do you enjoy driving your Maverick?

    I read the wiper ā€œprocedureā€. How dumb is thatšŸ™„. I did not know you could turn the sensitivity down on the ā€œpre collisionā€ system!!! Someone Send me a link! I actually almost crashed the first time it went off! It scared the living crap out of me! There was no reason for it and all of...
  15. Do you enjoy driving your Maverick?

    My bad. I did not. I did a ton of research. Read every article watched a lot of YouTube reviews. The worst of the reviews reluctantly said the interior was plasticky. Bed was small. Some minor quibbles. It’s an inexpensive vehicle. Some of my complaints are from living with it. Some I probably...
  16. Do you enjoy driving your Maverick?

    Hate it! Note; most of my complaints are cover most new cars but…. 1. Transmission programing. I can’t stand the constant up shift down shift. It has to make a couple gear down shift for a 2mph increase. Then immediately goes back to the highest gear possible (Normal mode). Sport mode is...
  17. It was fun while it lasted

    Nice truck! I deeply regret getting rid of my 05 titan. There are things I like about the mav but I like the old school trucks. NA engines rule!
  18. Why there is so much debate.

    Ok I’m jumping in on this! šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« 1. U.S. headlight laws are decades behind European standards. I don’t understand why we can’t adapt to better and safer standards 2. LED headlights seem brighter because there’s little refraction and no fluting on the lenses anymore. Just a smooth reflector and a...
  19. Tonneau Cover Debacle...

    lol! Not sure what the appeal of the role up covers are? Tri folds are so much easieršŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø I bought the cheapest one on Amazon. It installed quickly and easily. It’s almost water proof. (Maybe a very small trickle of water after washing). Simple to remove if needed. I call it the easy button.
  20. Hybrid Mileage improvement with 100% ethanol-free gas

    Ahhh yes, the great alcohol debate. The best studies have shown E10 a break even in emissions. Factor in the entire process from start to finish and most studies say it just costs us more money. (From farmers being subsidized to grow the corn. The making of the alcohol. Trucking the alcohol to...
