  1. Check engine light came on -- what to do?

    Flashing or not flashing? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong in about 30 seconds.... but..... I believe a solid light is not urgent. You can check up on it when convenient Flashing is urgent and you should check on it right away.

    You've said you were "done here" a couple of times. Yet here you are. Again. You lied.

    Why do you lie to everyone?.
  4. Sure, everyone know that hybrids excel at city driving

    No matter your speed, coasting or "gliding" with engine off is key to super high mpg. But above 60 mph is not really worth the effort.
  5. 6 hour rule when Flat towing for 2025-26 AWD Hybrids & 15 min. wait before starting the engine

    It's for sure odd, and sounds like an afterthought, a workaround for something they screwed up on. But hard data is hard to find.

    Show how you use your scale please. BTW when my FWD towed 3200 I put it on a truck scale once. Almost exactly the same weight was on each axle. Tows like a dream. With properly adjusted brakes, hardly know it's back there (if I shut off the MPG screens!). Rear end is light when you are empty...

    I use a Tekonsha P3 proportional brake controller. All hardwired. Kind of the gold standard. They have been selling the same unit for 20 years. I 3D printed a holder for it to go in the center tray in front of the dial shifter. Wires are run under the center console. Under the orange, black, or...
  8. Hybrid Maverick Assists Camping

    @Surly Old Bill Take the van camping. It's worth it. Parallel batteries give same voltage and double amp-hours. Series batteries give same amp-hours and double the voltage. Sounds like you know this and just made a typo or is your Transit really using 24 volts?

    Unknown what was actually wrong. Like he said it could have been a $2 contactor, diode, or sensor. The battery "kit"'can only be replaced as a whole. Like your microwave oven, "no user serviceable parts inside". And with rare exceptions, no dealer serviceable parts inside either. Unlikely the...

    Ford published what you should do with a factory equipped vehicle. Any factory equipped vehicle should not tow more than 2k without a trailer brake controller. This is a safety factor and a legal requirement in most (but not all) states. Done right, your vehicle will not explode. Slight extra...

    Burger King, you're very interested in what I have to say even though you've said you were done here. Twice.

    On some level yes. It is officially downrated to 2k due to lack of factory installed brake controller. The physical strength of the hitch is 100% the same as the 4k truck. Bet ya $1000 I am correct because it is the first thing I investigated when I bought my 2022. Ask any competent vehicle...

    You are inventing stuff. Please stop or you will be voted off the island. Crawl under your truck sometime and look around. You might learn something. Then again...

    Nope. If you use Tow/Haul mode battery runs cooler than any other mode. ScanGaugeIII proves it. See above.

    @Chops said: "What is suffering most on the OP’s Truck being stressed beyond its capabilities?" 1) eCVT - does not have the upgraded transmission fluid cooler of the 4K package. 1A) I monitor mine closely to 1 degree resolution and the eCVT in a 2022 never gets above 155°F on a 99°F day towing...

    Summary: Hitch capacity and truck capacity do not have to be the same. And are often different.
  17. 1 year, 130k mile review from a heavy hauler

    I'm with you. Burger King is not.
  18. 1 year, 130k mile review from a heavy hauler

    Hitch, the hitch wouldn't break til 8k. But something else might!

    Ford does not put Class 1 or Class 2 hitches on any Maverick You have been fooled. Tricked. Misled. Or got bad information. Now thanks to MTC you know the truth. I would call Curt an authority on hitches. This does not consider what the vehicle can or should do. And "up to" means not all will.

    Some people cite documents that contain typos or misleading information. Hybrid compression ratio in the "manual" is also misleading. Ford does not care Some people crawl under their trucks and look around. All trucks 2022-2024 used the same bolts in the same bolt holes to attach the same...
