I installed the app on my ipad. So now I have an android and and apple both connected to my truck. Neither work. I get a message that says I need to enable remote connectivity as shown in this picture. When I follow the instructions in my truck and enable connectivity, I get a spinning wheel...

My Ford pass app is a mess too. On Android. It shows location and washer fluid level, nothing else. I deleted and reinstalled app. No change. Called Ford tech support, they said my modem is bad in the truck and to take to dealer. Sigh. I have a few recalls to get done so I’ll have them look...

I ain’t gonna flame you. I understand the caution. I have 20k on my truck and I decided to not change the tranny oil today. I’m doing an oil change but I’ll wait until the next time around to change it. I’ll pick up some Mercon ULV in the meantime when it becomes available. Bob

I went to my ford dealer today to buy some Mercon ULV transmission fluid for my hybrid truck. They said there is a national back-order and could not sell me any. I asked what they do when someone comes in for a transmission fluid change. They told me they are using an after market ULV fluid. I...

Alright, hold on here. If you bought my truck from me (2025 XLT with 20k miles on it. Only one dealership oil change) you would see only one oil change since I bought it. I bet at least half of the car owners out there either do their own work, or take it somewhere besides the dealer. I avoid...

I guess I’m surprised people do so little regular maintenance to their property. House, car, whatever. It’s just crazy. This is first grade stuff. Check the oil, check filters. I don’t usually flame people but I’m still having a hard time that people blame the dealer for their own lack of basic...

Excuse me. Are you incapable of checking your own cabin filter? Why are you blaming someone else for your poor attentiveness? . I’m sorry but…. You might want to look at the oil once in a while too BTW. Bob

You can call it a ‘warranty’ item but I think the term is ‘customer satisfaction program’ or something like that. AFAIK it’s all years prior to 2025 and they will replace free of charge even if your warranty has expired. They are acknowledging that they installed a defective part and are...

Thanks for the photo. Boy it sure looks like something is rubbing on there. My 25’ looks like new. Bob

Well totally fake but a nice AI picture anyway. Looks like you have about 25,000 pounds of tongue weight

Two things: Since we’re talking about commercial vehicles, specifically DOT; I have wondered from the beginning of this thread how the OP dealt with weigh stations since he was in commerse. I wondered especially if the Mav was not legal in towing the trailer, how did he manage with weigh...

You know they will replace your bad axles for free even if out of warranty, right? Bob

Not to worry, he finally got banned, thankfully. I dunno, when a person threatens physical harm against someone (over a trailer hitch of all things!) It’s time to send her packing. Bob

My truck has not connected to the app in a long time. I sort of gave up trying but I should look into it again. o you have to have the internet subscription for the truck to make it work?

Pre- 2025 Mavericks have chronic problems with parasitic drain on the battery. Endless threads about it. It won’t kill your tuck but it is very annoying and Ford can’t fix it. Pre 2025 have chronic issues with front axle failure. Ford will fix and replace them for free if they fail. Otherwise...

25 hybrid XLT owner here. 19k miles on my truck. Zero issues. 35MPG real world driving overall. Summer and winter. I live in a cold climate and vehicles take a hit in cold weather (all vehicles do). Never drove a taco so can’t compare. Absolutely love my truck for what I need it for. I haul a...

I never thought bout the grill(e) on my Mav til today. I love those old songs, man! Makes me want to smoke a joint and open a Pabst.

Andy, I’m a retired electrical worker so I have a bias for electrial needs. What I said between the lines is MOST people want to use the inverter power for things like a TV, cooler, heater, coffee pot etc. It’s too small for any of those things. 300 watts is just on the bottom end of usable...

Okay so you are talking about 120 volt AC power. It’s a 300 watt inverter. That is not much. Most every usual appliance will consume more than 300 watts. A coffee pot is like 700 watts give or take. Most people report that they can charge cordless tool batteries, charge a phone, an other small...

Edited: It looks good. We need a sticky for this. Bob
