These engines are noisy while cold and warming up, but are pretty quiet after warming up. I went to the Ford Dealer and looked at a 2025 and found with the hood closed and cold they are very quiet. However, I asked them if they would open the hood so I could see what has changed and found if...

Well the drivetrain platform in the Maverick has plenty of history in other Ford vehicles and the only issue you might think is preventing reaching 200k and beyond is the head gasket. But that issue has also been addressed with a new block design starting in 2020 (some 2019s have the fix too but...

Yes a trickle charger will hold the battery voltage high enough that it will not sense low battery and go into deep sleep. Yes this is not specific to Ford but to all connected cars using a lead acid 12v battery. Always connected means always using lots of power for which a 12v battery cannot...

Yes the cellular modems are big power users. As such the modem will turn off after less than a day of car being parked and you will no longer be able to access it remotely through the modem.

Monthly cost for While your phone is connected it's using your cell phone data plan. When your phone is not connected to the truck then it uses the onboard modem. Yes it has a SIM card but the monthly cost on the SIM card is not much and is based on data usage. What Ford and other manufacturers...

What are you talking about about🤔 sounds like pretty good reason you haven't heard anything yet and never will🤣👎

The head units is a computer running software. The button is attached to one of the computer input pins and software performs the function of shutting the unit down when it gets the proper interrupt signal (high or low) from the button. The functionality would need to be in the SW to execute a...

Before you post facts you should take the time to make sure they are correct and not just wishful thinking on your part based on your political preference. Sad people like you trying to post fear and disgust on your fellow citizens due to your political ideology. Even sadder you wish to bring...

Yes, while impressive for a one time trat I would not suggest doing this very much with the hybrid. The CVT transmission will fall apart long before 100k miles of you try to do this regularly. The normal 8 speed transmission of the Maverick non-hybrid will hold up better but really at 4k pounds...

That's not how the specific for Maverick cubby hole phone holders work. The phone isn't in the cubby hole it sits out side and to the right of Sync3 three at an angle for the driver and the USB cable is fed by the USB ports below. Android Auto and Car Play are so limited in functionality it's...

Yes the cubby hole looked stupid until I got a Maverick cubby hole specific phone mount for in it and all of a sudden it became such a great feature 👍 sorry for all those who will never benefit from the early Maverick smaller Sync3 systems.

The nature of printing books is that there is a significant delay before the next revision gets printed. You book may not have these doesn't mean the next guys doesn't. In any case you download a PDF of the latest version from ford.com👍

Yes most times it does but when it ends up with a solution that requires your life to be in danger if you continue to drive the vehicle while you wait for an OEM solution to something that may not actually be the issue, it's far to better to make sure the problem is properly diagnosed.

If you don't have a meter then go to AutoZone and let them read the code for you so you can know what the issue is. Or else take it to Ford and have them do it for you. As long as the check engine light is not flashing on and off but is on steady, it's not a serious problem but should be...

So yourself a favor and actually take the vehicle in to Ford so they can do the diagnosis. It's OK give them the details as you have done here, but reaching conclusion based on your arm chair quarterbacking is leaving open the possibility of a gross error in your judgement. This is based on your...
