I couldn't find the build date, but I know that it was delivered to my dealer in Austin, TX a couple of days before Christmas, 2024.

I read the post by Jhmcclos about his recall message disappearing from the ford site, so I went back see my recall info. Sure enough, my recall notice evaporated from the ford site and the ford app, too. Strange. I already have a service appointment at Autonation Ford in Littleton, CO for...

My 25 Hybrid Lariat AWD averages 43-44 mpg (as calculated by the car). I'll be hitting 20k in the coming weeks. I drive the speed limit and don't speed to or from red lights like the originator of this strand stated. I'm delighted by the range and by the mpgs I get with my Lariat. Being an...

My 25 Lariat Hybrid AWD was listed as needing the recall. I scheduled the service online and from what I'm reading, it's okay to get it done on hybrids. Who knows... maybe the dealer will call today and say, Oops! We need to postpone your service. I'll know by the end of next week. I've...

My 25 Lariat Hybrid was on the list for needing this recall. I went to the dealer site and made an appointment to get it fixed. Then I got an email from Carfax that let me know that the fix is not yet available. Guess I'll be getting a call from the dealer apologizing for the delay. Don't...

I bought these for my wife's Subaru: https://a.co/d/02KDC5ER When she broke one of them with an ice scraper, she wanted a replacement immediately. So, I tried them on my Maverick and love them too. They adjust independent of the mirror that they are mounted on. They don't need readjustment...

My 25 Maverick Lariat Hybrid was on the recall list when I checked my Ford app. The message stated: POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE UPDATE. It took a couple of minutes to schedule an appointment with the dealership online. Hope it's a quick update.

Just because Ford builds a little spot to put stuff in, doesn't mean it's a good idea to put stuff there. My hoarder friend has stuff behind her couch, in back of every chair, under her beds. If you enjoy ancient history (the 80's), watch George Carlin's stand-up routine on "stuff."

I like the stealth look.

I bought the Ryobi pistol grip inflator at least 5+ years ago for inflating bike tires. Then I bought a new hose on Amazon that had a Presta and Schrader head on it for quick, simple attachments to my bicycle and my car. The new hose fit perfectly on the pump. It is one of the most useful...

Love this post. I thought I was the only one left who doesn't drink foo foo coffee. I'll take my cone drip, dark roast, 30-w every morning. No synthetic of synthetic blends for me. Now... back to car talk.

The one time I didn't put on Michelin Defenders on one of our two cars, I immediately regretted it. The decrease in ride quality and increase in noise were noticeable. That's what I'll put on my Maverick and my Subaru next time around.

I had a lexus rx 300 about 15 years ago that I put 245k on. Awesome car. When I asked my mechanic if it was advisable to change the oil and filter every 3K even though I was using Mobil 1 full syn, he said, Yes, because the top end runs hot and you get some foam build up. What he showed me...

I drive a 25 lariat hybrid with 13k on it, fill up at Costco most of the time, and dump in a bottle of techron in the tank every 5k. The Costco fuel (I've read) is top tier, but it's only 85 octane. My trucklet runs fine. but I drive like an old man and probably wouldn't notice if it lagged a...

How about a pool noodle or pipe insulation??

However you fix it... the sooner the better. The chip I took care of immediately has held for over a year. The chip that I ignored for several weeks traveled fast and soon became beyond repair. I think I paid a glass place about 100.00 for the chip that I acted on quickly. Sounds like a...

I got rid of a beautiful, cush Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie that I bought to drive on Houston's freeways, safely (up high/ great visibility) during rush hour every day. I never really hauled with it. Loved that truck! My ego sunk a little when we parted, but the minor depression was fleeting. Now I...

An Egg McMuffin at McDs? That's my kind of top tier fuel. Add a large, black coffee and cruise!

Has anyone used a Fumoto oil drain valve on a 2025 Maverick Lariat Hybrid AWD?
