I'm in San Diego. It used to be that Mav Spotting was a driving pastime — "Hey look, there's a Maverick." Now if I drive anywhere in town, it's a rare trip that I don't see one, or two or more.

I'm considering AOOA caliper covers for my ’25. Have you had any experience with these? About $240 on Amazon. Fitment issues? Here's a mockup: Regarding the aesthetics: ◻ Really nice ◻ Too much (it's just a truck) ◻ Give the money to a charity

Since you asked: • The front yellow/orange reflective details were purchased at Amazon. The grilltop stripe, in roll form, is here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQ74GZJW It's .4 inch and is a perfect fit. Adhesive is so-so, and I supplemented the tape with some 3M "77"spray adhesive, with good...

2025 Ford Maverick XLT hybrid, 15 months since purchase. I was told not to fall in love with anything that can't love you back, so this is a beautiful friendship.

A wise man once told me, "Never fall in love with anything that can't love you back." I think in this case you can make an exception.

I like to keep the hand sanitizer close, but even with a gopher field's worth of cubbies, it's not easy to find just the right place. Our friends at Walmart have an Equate brand 12 oz. refillable dispenser that fits PERFECTLY in the small, square spot in the bottom door shelf. Stays snug...

Short answer, yes things like this are available for the Maverick. Opinion: For me, the ideal version of this does not exist. Take a look at the existing faux-vent decoration on the Maverick. It's sleek and flush against the body of the truck. All existing replacements look like a fat wart on...

Open Splice Junction Box, on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=open+splice+junction+box

I put those holes to use, in conjunction with M8 x 150mm L-Shaped Right Angle Bolt Screws, to create a hold-down for a 2x6 piece of lumber. The project intent was a DIY bike rack. Works great. The designers at Ford put a "floor" under those holes so the bolts don't drop down into the mechanical...

Not my cuppa, but you do you.

I bought these at Amazon and they fit perfectly. Just add some ratchet straps and a cargo net and you're good to go.

The article’s main claim is right: EPA issued a temporary emergency waiver allowing nationwide E15 sales starting May 1, 2026. It is also fair that E15 is a 15% ethanol blend and may slightly reduce fuel economy versus E10, but the piece oversimplifies the seasonal rules and treats the “diluting...

The Maverick bed bike rack is the perennial DIY project. Here's my entry: Only one piece of 2x6 pine. Using two M8 x 150mm L-Shaped Right Angle Bolts. These fit exactly into the provided hole in the bed. I'm happy to say the engineers at Ford provided a surface under the hole so the bolt...

Video Summary: Six Ford Sync system settings that can drain a parked vehicle’s battery: Wi‑Fi hotspot: The built‑in hotspot stays active even when parked, using 85–120 mA continuously. Disable hotspot broadcasting when not needed. FordPass / connected vehicle mode: The telematics module...

Today is Valentine's Day, February 14, and also the first anniversary of my hybrid XLT's blend date. You could say today is its birthday. My wife, who amicably tolerates my truck obsession, got my truck a birthday card for Valentine's Day. She also got me a card for Valentine's Day. She's a keeper.

That is not a trivial question. There's serious anger in this town over the recently imposed parking fees at the zoo and all of Balboa Park. It's a pretty big deal. As a zoo member, I get comp'd in for parking in the zoo lot. It's a perk of membership.

It was a good day to hike the mesas and canyons at the San Diego Zoo. Blue sky, sunny w/ high clouds, today's high: 72°F. As a retired guy with an annual membership, it's a regular workout. January typically sees an ebb in visitors, so zoo maintenance is more active. The plants and animals are...

My daughter has a Nissan Rogue, which uses a CVT transmission. I'd never heard of (or given much thought to) a continuously variable transmission system, but it grabbed my attention when her transmission went down. That was an expensive fix for her. Fast-forward to my researching the Ford...
