Yeah, we watch lots of his videos and he does a good job of explaining things. His discussion of how the Atkinson cycle engine works and pairs with the traction battery was a good one, but I think he claims the TM only runs when the system needs more torque and the "occasional" times there is...

I was thinking of making up something like this that I could hook on to a rear tie-down and use it to climb up into the bed. I had a heavy load on the tailgate that was blocking access and I needed to get up and horse it around. Something like this that I could keep in the cubby might come in...

It sure beats the hell out of getting keyed!

Pathetic it is! I keep my battery tender plugged in and sitting next to where I park my Mav. Lifting the little cover and plugging in is second nature now. When my battery finally dies I'll go the AGM route, if I have not traded in for a Fathom by then.

Here is my hack. I didn't want to deal with taking the truck to the dealer for diagnostics and battery replacement so I just put in a charging port and plug in when I am not going to drive for a few days. Got the idea from others on the forum.

Ford really missed the bar (pun intended) on the temperature ranges. They could have made the first bar visible at ~120 degrees or so - the temp at which the computer will shut off the ICE and let a hybrid run on battery. The first bar @ 100 seems useless, as it is not really even warm enough...

If you like his acting you might want to check out "Green Room". One of the only times I can think of where he played a bad guy. Green Room had another Star Trek connection - it was one of the last movies that Anton Yelchin (Checkov in the reboot) made.

One pedal driving (OPD) seemed more accurate than "one foot driving" (no offense intended @Chops), as most of us with automatic transmissions only use one foot to drive, but still use two pedals.

We have OPD in our Chevy Bolt - I use it occasionally, but it's not really my favorite way to drive. Where some disparage "creep", where you take your foot off the brake and you can slowly maneuver, I prefer it when parking. It's similar to driving with auto hold on in the maverick. If I only...

That's one hell of a long sentence!

My fob wears a tin hat :crackup:

That's pretty good mileage! My FWD hybrid didn't see any tanks above the 40's till I got over 5K miles or so.

John, do a search of the forum and you can find several threads on this subject. To summarize what I think I know and have read, yes the shield is a pain in the ass to remove/install. I did my first one while my trick was still dripping wet from a rain shower and got extra soaked messing with...

If I want to stay married I have to make sure I always leave the seat down.

She was giddy about not having to jump in the back seat anymore!

I love our EV because I'm lazy. I don't need to crawl under it to change the oil, and I don't need to freeze my ass off in the winter pumping gas. That said, we are lucky enough to being able to plug in at home. If we had to charge 100% elsewhere, at least at places that weren't walking...

I thought my Mav would be the last vehicle I bought (for me to drive) unless it got totaled (and I didn't). If there was an electric version or even a PHEV I would have bought one in lieu of the hybrid. We recentrly bought a Chevy Bolt for my wife and I would drive it 99% of the time if she...

I just had my highest mileage tank. Computer said I had 15 miles left till empty. Of those miles, 50 were pulling my 4x8 trailer with a couch and loveseat, and 50 were with ~700 lbs of electronics in the bed.

What tailgate letters did you use? I have not gotten any yet, but when I do I'll use the ones that spell "MAVERICK"
