  1. Post YOUR Maverick TRUCKING!

    24 xlt hybrid FWD no type package. Maybe 1000lbs on the trailer and 800lbs in the bed. We ran 350 miles and the truck handled like a dream
  2. Flexbed 2x6 dividers - What are these holes for?

    Be careful in there, noob. If you have a bolt bouncing around in the hole then you will wreck the paint and start a rust spot. Therfore, I wouldn't go bolting something down just for the fun of it, but if you need to yo, need to.
  3. What’s the ONE piece of advice you’d give to a new Maverick owner?

    I was told by the Ford Service Desk guy that the oil monitor is a time based monitoring system and doesn't actually look at the oil health.
  4. Article: My Name Is Sal Gusmano, and I Break Ford Vehicles for a Living (at Michigan Proving Grounds)

    I think an important distinction here is that Sal and gang test a vehicle to its determined limits, not to THE limit. Someone sets up a serious of tests based on a myriad of variables (maybe Sal?) Then someone takes the target vehicle through said test. Some of the comments here make it sound...
  5. Why Does 11.7V seem to be magic number?

    In small scale solar applications using AGM storage batteries we were told (by the battery mfg) that 11.7/11.8 VDC is the low voltage cutoff. this was hard coded into off the shelf solar charge controllers. maybe your knowledge is based around old lead acid batteries? I haven't had to think...
  6. DIY Modem Replacement?

    Thanks @BlueSpec1 ! I've wondered where the modem is in case I want to disable it
  7. Tonneau covers for Maverick XLT - tri-fold or retractable recommendations?

    I have had the Rough Country trifold hard cover for a few months and am very pleased with it. I chose that one for price and because I can fold all sections up when needed. Also, a buddy has one and liked it so it was a safe bet for me.
  8. Dream Maverick, Let’s build it.

    I'm a simple creature. I just want my 24' in a plug in hybrid w/ 50 mile electric range and FWD. I like the 24 over the 25 mainly because of the smaller infotainment screen and more physical buttons.
  9. Adding external charger to hybrid battery.

    You should do that! I would totally watch that video and day dream!
  10. Remote start not working out of nowhere

    I tried it when it was locked. I tried it when it was unlocked. I tried it in a box. I tried when I locked it last night. I tried it when I didn't lock it last night. I tried so many things but I didn't think there would be any other combination of commands when the button has instructions...
  11. Remote start not working out of nowhere

    Well, this turned out to be an ID10t problem. I wasn't using the proper key combination on the fob. The guys at the service desk were pro cool about it. Seriously though, the remote shows the remote start button has to be pressed twice, having to press the lock button (exactly once) right...
  12. Remote start not working out of nowhere

    Cool. I kind of wondered about that scenario but couldn't connect all the dots, Thanks. I'll update here what I find out.
  13. Remote start not working out of nowhere

    This is curious to me. I don't use the app so I don't see the deep sleep messages. Recently my mav (hybrid 24 19kmiles) no longer turned on the dome light when the door is opened and remote start wouldn't work. I took it in last week to the Ford dealer. The dealer stated the 12v battery was...
  14. over 80 mpg???

    I've been playing with hyper mileing for short distances and have achieved 70-90mpg. I expect this comes out one of two ways. - if you are generally going down the whole time then you are just coasting a lot - if on relatively flat ground then I think you are just front loading energy off your...
  15. State of the used Maverick market - anybody out there keeping track?

    I haven't read through all of the replies here but I recently bought a used maverick. I bought used so as to not pay the - drive it off the lot the first time tax- and saved around 8k on a 24 xlt-lux with 15k miles on it. I have never bought a new car and this was 6x more expensive than any...
