I know this isn't really taxing my '25 Lariat Hybrid with the tow package, but a couple days ago I got a load of heavy pressure-treated lumber at the local lumberyard for a home project. Obviously the 8' lumber wouldn't fit in the bed, but it was a piece of cake to raise the tailgate a bit and...

Only consider a genuine Ford extended warranty, if you decide to get one. Too many horror stories of 3rd party "extended warranty" companies that have so many restrictions and pre-approvals, that actually cover very little, or are a huge pain to get reimbursements from. A genuine Ford...

No issues at all and didn't notice anything different. Lights started working normally once I started the truck. I think my console display got reset (I typically keep up my current trip statistics on the driver console), but that sometimes happens anyway even if the truck hasn't been sitting...

Recently got back from a ~10 day trip, with my '25 Lariat Hybrid sitting in my garage the whole time. The only indication I had when I started it back up was the interior lights didn't come on when I opened the door due to a battery saver kicking in. But it started just fine and no issues...

I got this bed liner as a give-away, and don't like it as much as my original drop-in liner mat, so I'm offering this to anyone who could use it. Since I got it at no cost to myself, I'm not asking any money for it other than you come to my house to pick it up. Located in the Cedar Rapids, IA...

Have you tried polarized sunglasses to see if that reduces the glare for you?

Bright green reflective safety vest. The last thing you want is to be on the side of a busy road in clothes that don't stand out.

Is there a way in the Hybrid to physically disconnect the hybrid high voltage battery? It's easy enough to disconnect the 12V battery at its terminals, but I don't know if there's a way to physically disconnect the HV battery as well (at least without a bunch of disassembly)?

It was a backwards facing infant seat with a locked in base and the seat itself could easily be removed from the base without unbuckling anything.

Had a coworker ask a couple days ago if he and his wife could try fitting their new infant's car seat into the back seats of my Maverick. I, of course, obliged, and they were extremely thrilled that the car seat fit in the back passenger seat with plenty of room for the front seat passenger...

True definition of a vehicle sacrificing itself to keep the occupant(s) safe!

In the last couple days, my Android Auto has stopped showing my vehicle icon on the navigation map when I'm using Google Maps. The map still tracks my location, just my vehicle icon is not present. But if I shift into park after my commute to work is done, the vehicle icon then sometimes shows...

Some auto insurance policies will cover windshield chip repairs as a no-cost no-reported-claim benefit of the coverage. They would probably rather pay out a rock chip repair than a whole new windshield if it gets to that point if the chip repair wasn't done in a timely manner.

Agreed that the Mavericks are just a cover over a torx bit. Very easy and no real chance of doing any windshield damage. I changed my '25 Lariat's RVM last spring, and it was very easy.

Have a '25 Lariat hybrid with SIBL. But the surface is rough and is hard to slide things on it. Would love to have a bed mat that helps things slide easier getting in and out. Would use it for homeowner type activities such as hauling mulch, yard equipment, various crap stuff to the dump, etc.

I believe the hybrid HV battery on the Maverick is liquid cooled from a separate coolant reservoir/loop under the hood. So there shouldn't be a need to have air cooling for it.

Here 'ya go!

I've put seasonal wreaths on both of our cars for many years, and haven't had to evict any squatters so far!

Put a small wreath on the front grille of my '25 Mav and now have a festive holiday border around the front camera view!

In my '25 Lariat Hybrid, I usually listen to mp3 off of a thumb drive with a lot of mp3s on it (~1000). I'll occasionally (maybe 5% of the time) have it go back to radio when I start up the truck, which can be a pain as my mp3s are quieter than the radio, and if it goes to radio, I get blasted...
