    Ouch.
  2. 🎁[Mabett Giveaway]What’s the Best Mabett Accessory You’ve Ever Bought? 👀

    I agree. Like most Mabett accessories, they look like they "belong" on the truck.
  3. Curious to see what the herd thinks of this roll bar

    Zowie.. Just what everyone needs.. Dual hydro cooled 50 caliber chain guns. Where's the pic of the trailer carrying the ammo? :wink:
  4. Curious to see what the herd thinks of this roll bar

    So that was you, being a Brat..er that is a Brat!
  5. 🎁[Mabett Giveaway]What’s the Best Mabett Accessory You’ve Ever Bought? 👀

    I have most of the accessories that Mabett sells, and have no complaints. Favorite Product - Mabett Fender Flares Why - They fit well, improve the looks, were easy to install and actually protect the fenders. 2025 Maverick XL Hybrid AWD 4K Tow
  6. Maverick Hybrid as Booster Vehicle?

    @Maggie5618 Good idea on getting a jump pack. While you can get away with jumping another vehicle, and it usually should not be a problem, IMHO it isn't worth the risk, as for instance, if the failure in the other vehicle is a dead short. You could end up with two dead vehicles. Much safer...
  7. Ford CEO Jim Farley’s Right To Repair Comment

    Sounds like a new episode of Road Warrior...
  8. Ford CEO Jim Farley’s Right To Repair Comment

    Considering the problems with the monitoring software and people reporting their cars yelling at them to keep their eyes on the road when they already are, I'm sure that will work out just fine... Or not.
  9. Ford CEO Jim Farley’s Right To Repair Comment

    There are some people who would go for that, but a LARGE number who would be challenged if they had to check their oil or add air to tires, that would likely avoid the DIY repairs. The "simple" car is in conflict with all of the automated requirements that make a car "safe" enough to drive in...
  10. SOLVED! Issue after disabling auto start stop on 2026

    Well, it looks like I'm no longer the only one who couldn't hear the "beeps" as there are no longer any beeps to hear...:wink: I do have trouble hearing very high frequencies, so in this case, it would be a plus. No hear = No problem...
  11. SOLVED! Issue after disabling auto start stop on 2026

    I could not hear anything that sounded at all like a "beep". You seemed to be coughing several times fhough, and there was typical engine sounds..
  12. Members who seem to disappear

    Several have. Geezer isn't a problem. The real item of concern is the dreaded "Elder Brain"..
  13. Blind spot information icon on

    The blind spot sensors are on both ends of the rear bumper, not on the mirrors on my vehicle. I've got them on my XL as it came with Copilot as an option. If you had mud over the sensors, it will eliminate blind spot detection from operating. I think the sensors you have on the mirrors might be...
  14. Members who seem to disappear

    On an open forum, everything is everyone's business. If you don't want replies, don't post. You'll just be added to the list of those that disappear, or maybe not..
  15. Maverick was developed with Ford's Dynamic Driving Simulator which compresses months of testing to a single day

    Ford may honor warranty claims for wind noise if it is linked to a specific defect in parts, but like most manufacturers, being able to hear wind noise isn't a typical warranty item, and that is often explicitly excluded in the fine print. In any case, wind noise would not provide a rationale...
  16. Maverick was developed with Ford's Dynamic Driving Simulator which compresses months of testing to a single day

    Highly unlikely. The problem with Artificial Intelligence is that although it is artificial, it is NOT intelligent. Don't count on AI coming up with creative solutions, because it doesn't do that. If enough of the engineering staff noted that square wheels had advantages, the AI design would...
  17. Maverick was developed with Ford's Dynamic Driving Simulator which compresses months of testing to a single day

    The simulator is used in the design phase to address issues and refine components to get the design right, rather than building a potential design and finding out it doesn't work as intended. Pretty cool stuff. It isn't a replacement or test facility for operational software, nor does it...
  18. Consumer pays for SSMs and TSBs?

    No idea what you were told, and by whom. I'm sure it's all sour grapes at this point. Batteries not lasting / going dead is far from unique to Ford. With all of the electronics additions, a lot more demand has been added to the 12 volt system and charge profiles were reduced to favor...
  19. Ford CEO Jim Farley’s Right To Repair Comment

    How about a "new" '56 Ford F100 for $20K with new everything. That was my example, not a Japanese econobox, but among those you mentioned there were some Taurus SHO models could be worth a look for those who like sedans.
  20. Any overweight Maverick owners?

    Wow - That's amazing. Some people weigh less than 135 pounds! I've lost some weight but I somehow manage to find it again. :wink: After 4 years and 8 months you answered your own question, the Mav is comfortable. That impressed me on the test drive, as did everything but the shift mechanism...
