I will say, for the naysayers in this thread, that if I had hooked this trailer, gotten into the truck and it had promptly exploded like I had made enemies of the mafia, some part of me would have been greatly amused for a few microseconds.

That certainly does look like it, but I thought that perhaps it didn't have foot steps on the corners, maybe I mis-remembered. Either way, thank you!

Out of curiosity I switched one of my gauges to Trans temp, which is an Xgauge (so not standard ODB-II, but Ford specific), and it seems to come up to temp slowly, and level out at 70c towing, or 65c not towing, so *IF* this is the correct sensor, I maintain that the eCVT is without need of a...

Ehh, CB radios are a tad differently sized than GMRS. This is DIN-size, and full depth, so I doubt a cup-holder mount would secure it. In the Prius I mounted my President McKinley on the passenger side of the center console, and then was constantly unable to see the screen without taking my...

I should have noted, I run exclusively 87, and don't hesitate to fill with 85 in the areas it is available. I did test premium once (did I ever go back to that thread? I can't remember now), but the results were nil, and I've found that the Maverick just doesn't want to load the engine below...

ICE. A leak which also stopped by itself without intervention other than keeping the overflow bottle topped off. 🤷‍♂️

It shouldn't be, especially since the thing is eschewing the use of the battery as much as it does. And I maintain the problem that they replaced the entire battery for, was a much simpler, much stupider problem. The motors did reach the 90c range, though. 🔥 I am still uncertain that the...

Class I receivers are 1-1/4”, not 2”. Ford’s document is incorrect.

I had exactly one instance where the message came up on the dashboard of “trailer sway”, and it ironically was not the pictured trailer, but extreme winds with my normal 7x14 trailers, so I don’t know if it is activating much. I definitely felt more in control than with an 18’ RV that weighed...

Well, Ford forgot to put an RDU in this one, so I haven’t changed it yet. 😉

I have not received results from the latest change yet, but the one previous at 99k was still excellent. And yes, the OLM has to get reset about every 5-6k miles with the towing.

Priced, and built, to the same design as the F-150 fake hybrid. Ehh, I'll pass. I'm a hybrid snob. 🤓

I thought you meant the other hybrid components tied to the engine, such as the motors and planetary gearset. Those are what I was commenting on. My current issues aside, I honestly don't have enough data to determine whether a high-drain, high-amperage automotive grade pack will last the life...

I'm just imagining front and rear duallys on a train car now.

I doubt it. My Prius was still driveable-ish, even after the SECOND cylinder lost compression from the head gasket failing at 396k. Once the engine properly failed, I popped the back seat, hooked a 300v adjustable bench supply to the battery, charged it up, and was able to move it around quite...

The trailer is the cargo. The triple was a new trailer going from manufacturer to dealer, and my regular crop are the same, but highway-able, due to typically only weighing 2,200-2,500 lbs, and being shorter (so less wind sway).

The reason I treat safety with derision is that it's false safety. Oh, the people in this two car collision survived without serious injury? I am not against that. No one should be, that is a good thing. I am against the statistics. And ever since the federal government stuck it's nose in...

I think you have some bad math there, even accounting for your rule. Are you conflating GVWR and GCWR? 1,600 lbs is over 100% of the vehicle capacity, so I'll assume you're towing a small trailer. Rule of thumb is 10-15% tongue weight, and there is no rule of thumb for an upper limit, but I...

My complaints are almost all software, and the rest are bad interface, and bad styling (such as the filled in footsie tunnel). The hardware is sound, as my tl;dr and conclusion cited. (y)

Not the same heavy stuff as the Maverick, that triple would've been too much, but my now regular 7x14/7x16 cargo trailers? Did it with the Prius. https://imgur.com/gallery/trucks-are-optional-WJSKook Heaviest load was definitely the pickup at the end, but that was familiar back roads at 35...
