  1. Why is winter *highway* mpg so low?

    Cold air is denser, this requires more fuel to be injected to keep the correct 14:1 air/fuel ratio. Cold air is denser, this means slightly more drag on your brick shaped truck. You're running the cabin heater and the only heat source is the engine, so you'll have the engine running just to...
  2. Hybrid skid plate (for easier oil changes)?

    I used metal snips to make the hole by the drain plug big enough to drain oil through. Then I located the oil filter and cut a door into the felt liner underneath it. The door is hinged at the front by not cutting that side and it binds against the other edges to keep itself shut. I run amsoil...
  3. Your Other Rides!?

    I'm kinda boring, the Grey 2021 Sienna Hybrid is my vehicle on paper. But I normally drive the 🌶 Maverick titled in my wife's name. The red frontier is her old truck that was replaced with the Maverick. It's now my son's truck and he loves it. This is what I prefer to spend time driving Or...
  4. All I want is a dash cubby "drawer" that fits

    Did you remove the rubber cubby liner insert that comes with all but the XL? I bought from this seller, though he doesn't seem to be selling what at bought, which is the drawer shown, but with a slot for coins, and a fits mount on the front with inserts that a phone mount attaches to...
  5. What's on your Maverick keys / keychain?

    Maverick key, hybrid sienna key, night eyez screw driver/can opener, key organizer
  6. Hybrid highway driving mode...

    While the traction battery is rarely engaged in propelling on the interstate, the electric motors are both always in use to give the transmission its gear ratios. They can be spinning at different rates, or electrically locked to directly turn the transmission at engine speed.
  7. Dial Shifter Love / Hate or ehh ? Original poll

    It gets the job done, but I hate it and consider it a safety defect because it forces me to look inside the vehicle while making a three point turn, usually while trying to beat or avoid oncoming traffic, when my eyes should be 100% outside of the vehicle. It's like having a cordless hole...
  8. Yakima roof rack (for kayaks) installed on Maverick

    Not the person you asked, but I've had no problems with a bed extender and 14 foot kayak or two. This was our 4th of July family outing, the orange boat is 14, Yellow is twelve, Both are 14 footers. Not everyone will be as comfortable doing this, I've done it for years without a comment from...
  9. What are you trading in / selling for your Maverick??

    2015 Frontier, bought it used so I could sell it to my son when my Maverick came in. He loves his truck, I love mine!
  10. In what ways has your Maverick EXCEEDED expectations?

    For me the fordpass app was a much bigger plus than I expected. I can start my truck from a mile or two away while exercising and return to find it nice and cool. Even unlock the doors while changing shoes and storing gear. I like the blue fabric seats, even the orange accents aren't bad like I...
  11. 3rd production shift being added for Maverick assembly at Hermosillo plant in July!

    Ford cut off fleet sales orders a few months ago, this could very well be the answer to allowing fleet sales again, but probably only EB. It's actually good for consumers though because if dealers start getting piles of EB stock orders on their lots, the markups will have to go away and possibly...
  12. Yakima roof rack (for kayaks) installed on Maverick

    I've always thought Ford missed the boat by not offering roof rails like the escape or baby bronco.
  13. Factor roof rails for the Maverick?

    I see the lack of factory roof rails as a glaring mistake by Ford. I wonder if baby bronco rails could be added
  14. Ford dominance is amazing

    One magazine suggested a grand Caravan based pickup truck for dodge, it would be a roughly ridgeline sized. It would also have a great tow rating and payload. Probably won't happen
  15. How would you transport a 14' kayak or long pieces of lumber on a maverick?

    Ford has shown a clamp on roof rack in their accessories. I would expect a roof rail from a baby bronco to fit the roof of the maverick, possibly with some modifications. Either way, Yakima and Thule will be coming out with options for sure
  16. Maverick Drive Modes

    My grand Caravan has an eco mode button. It seems to change the transmission shifting, most notably when pulling out of our side street onto the busy main road, it causes us to peel out very often.
  17. Maverick vs sedan?

    I had three Rangers and currently drive a frontier, my last vehicle was a Focus. For me it bridges that truck vs car split. It's a car with a small bed, which is what my commute needs, and my other activities demand. I kayak and mountain bike in summer and cross country ski in the winter, a FWD...
