I sold my maverick at 19k miles. As far as any improvements... I felt better about the vehicle. Really only difference, and that is not measurable. When it was new, Say 3 miles-> 3,000 miles I would have occasion rough shifting when towing or when starting up a hill. Very rare. One instance and...

It's a big problem for people who ice fish, you don't buckle up when you drive on lake, and you could be listening to that ding for 15 minutes... Gets old quick. Or if your moving cars around driveway... Plenty of examples where I have done the same thing, get rid of ding immediately on my vehicle.

My PTU n rear diff definitely needed the change. Low n very dirty. Thankfully The transmission fluid looked good, but, for about $40 dollars to swap it out I don't have a problem doing it early. Fluid was dark red, compared to light red new. On the legendary paper towel soak, it looked just...

Thanks for adding insight to the post. Hope more people can get the job done at home n save $$$$.

I had 6 quarts drain. I added 6 quarts and 200 mL, ( to make up for the catch residue in pan, and for the tubing from transmission to funnel not all going to make it in.) So I used 6.2 bottles. ( Probably more technical would be 6 quarts n 100mL to be proper. I have not done the drain plug...

Minnesota rust belt, I mean Minnesota rust box clapped out truck driver here... My 15xxx Maverick has 2 winters under it's belt. With "do your own car wash" washes every 2-3 weeks, the only alarming/dumb rust is on my exhaust, and on the drive chain going from rear diff to front of vehicle has...

I changed my Maverick oil at 488 miles, 1500, and then normal 5k changes. Oils cheap, engines aren't. First change had bright alien green oil. Some say break in oils that shouldn't have been removed early. some say coolant/gas leak during break in. I say both... But, break in oil on the shelf of...

Hello, My tips are very crude. 1. Go to rock auto, ( cheapest I found 3 months ago) Type "2022/2021 Ford escape 2.0 AWD" Search for ptu fluid and rear diff fluid. ***Power Transfer Unit (PTU) fluid (All Wheel Drive): Motorcraft® SAE 75W-140 Synthetic Rear Axle Lubricant XY-75W140-QL*** 1...

When you drain the transmission, you only get half. A flush is 99%, a drain is about 50%. Correct me if I'm wrong. But yes, I did a drain. Feel free to make a post showing how to do torque converter. I merely wanted to tell people how to do a drain on maverick as there is no info on the matter...

Hardest part is paying for the liquid gold Ford puts in those quart jugs. Otherwise it seems to be a relatively easy vehicle to work on. If I owned a lift it would be a dream. Unfortunately, I don't... So it's a lot of wiggling for me.

Hi sir, Well, I was in a garage, which is about as level as it will get and did it all without removing my wheel. No need to level if I didn't jack it up in first place... I was giving the run down in case someone wanted the true down n dirty. I did measure just a tad over 6 quarts coming out. I...

I appreciate the feedback. My thoughts are this is my first new vehicle, and I plan to baby it as much as I can. If your vehicles can make it, then I feel good about my chances. Just wanted to post information on a forum so others knew the outline for the job. I will delete my posts once I see...

Well, I changed it at 15k instead of 30k because I did the ptu and diff at 13k instead of 30k n found both to be of poor quality. Both the PTU and Diff were black, and diff had a good amount of metal. I understand break in is normal, and I do not want that to stay floating in my fluids longer...

I have just done my Ford Maverick 22 2.0 AWD transmission fluid drain at 15xxxmiles. I did my rear "diff" and front ptu at 13k. I HIGHLY recommend people doing the ptu and diff immediately. Both on my truck were low on fluid. (0.7qt vs 0.9-1qt to fill) and the rear diff drain bolt had a thick...

Thanks Buschur, I hope you continue to have success with the maverick and your parts! Look forward to hearing about the (larger turbo)... when the world will let you have one. :- )

Congratulations on the Maverick success. I look forward to throwing your parts on my truck. Towing will be my excuse.

Thank you for the Maverick support. I have been wanting to order the radiator, exhaust, catch can, and yes, turbo/downpipe eventually. Wanting to do it all at once so it can get tuned right. Awesome to get 30mpg, be able to tow a boat, and not have a underpowered take off on freeways. I love my...

6,000 miles on the Maverick now, time will tell if it blows up before everyone else who has been waiting on oil changes. I treated this motor like a boat motor in some respect. Being gentle on it. Light accelerations, then medium accelerations. Some light pulls (3,500rpm area) up to speed and...

This isn't a jab to any particular person, it's a forum full of opinions and here's mine. Even with the "4k" tow package ford missed the biggest thing.... Braking power. You should not tow more then what your tow vehicle weighs, otherwise the thing that is being towed will push you around...
