Thanks! Indeed, the camera button is there.

Thanks! I will check.

Is there a way to activate the rear view camera while driving to check stuff on a trailer being towed? Jeep and GM have this feature but it looks like the Maverick doesn't.

My single axle, 838 pound aluminum trailer came in. I've fabricated some hardware for tiedowns and now have towed my 3000 pound Kubota BX23S tractor over 50 miles. Bottom line is at roughly 3900 pounds, my 2.5l hybrid 4K tow Maverick had no problem towing the combo from zero to 60mph on...

Will do. Thanks.

Thanks. Long story on my end but my 5ft x 12ft (bed) aluminum trailer with a 5200# single axle with electric brakes will arrive in about 2-3 weeks. I'll be doing a core dump on my experiences with on-board Trailer Brake Controller + trailer + 2900# tractor. I estimate the trailer at 750# so...

Thanks for the information. I have a 2025 Lariat hybrid with 4K tow and plan to tow a trailer+tractor = 3800 lbs for relatively short distances (<50 miles one way). My question is, did you use the on-board trailer brake controller, or has anyone in the thread used the TBC with loads near the 4K...

This tread is close to my issue so... I have a 2025 Lariat Hybrid. The large center screen that displays controls for audio, HVAC and so on. FRUSTRATING. My issue for this thread is the voodoo radio source control, or lack of. I have an iPhone and, via bluetooth, CarPlay will load automatically...

A clarification to what I just wrote. My intent was to describe a practical definition of mild and plug-in hybrids. Transitioning from mild to plug-in technically relates to how much energy is required from the battery. Lower demands (mild) don't require plug-in. There is also parallel and...

The term mild hybrid is used to describe a hybrid powertrain system that does not plug in to an external electrical power source. Plug-in hybrid is as the name implies. The term "mild" implies a lower level of propulsion assist from a smaller battery than exists in plug-in hybrid (more reliance...

My point in starting this thread was to 1) question if I'm missing something and 2) to emphasize the "nobody watching the store" idea. As for Ford trying to avoid a distraction,..., NAW. Every OEM puts larger and larger center screens in every year as a marketing gizmo. Talk about distracting...

The feedback in this thread indicates my situation is normal. It is valuable to me to get the details. The reported numbers in similar condition basically fall right on top of my numbers. Being new to mild hybrids (current tech), it's become clear how "in-focus" the battery is. Related, there is...

Regarding what grade of fuel, I always use regular which is 87 R+M/2. Engine combustion development was my career at Chrysler. The energy content in all grades of gasoline, assuming constant percent ethanol, is constant. Spark retard from knock sensing is almost never active at part throttle...

Thanks. Yes I do use the EOC mode driving coach, but I drive that way anyway. I will definitely keep up with the FE tracking and reports.

" AWD is 40/34 city/hwy combined 37 ". Thanks for this update. Your 29.8 mpg is exactly what I'm seeing prior to 2/25/25 in Michigan. Note that I haven't reset the long-term averaging since I started driving the truck (beginning of January).

Thanks to everyone. Your feedback reflects exactly what I'm seeing. As I mentioned, since I got the truck it's been very cold in Michigan. I'm anxious to see a similar behavior based on your feedback.

Thanks for your reply. Frustrating and humorous at the same time on my end. I spend 32 years at Chrysler; 27 in powertrain and 5 in marketing. As far as I can tell, Ford suffers from the same "no one is watching the store" behavior. That they apparently missed a basic function like this is -...

Unlike the non-hybrid Lariat I previously had, I'm frustrated that with my new 2025 hybrid I keep having to re-initiate the dash screen views every time I drive the truck. I have to re-select the Fuel Economy "card" and re-add the ECO mode setting. Is there a way that, once my preferences are...

I had a 2023 non-hybrid 2.0L Lariat AWD and averaged just under 30 mpg. I traded that one in and got my new 2025 Lariat AWD 2.5L hybrid around 1/1/25. I now have 1800 miles on it. Admittedly, it has been very cold in Michigan where I live but the fuel economy is unimpressive. I'm new to the...
