Adding to my confusion and thus frustration, it turns out that we can't connect either phone via Bluetooth while the truck is moving. We had to pull off the road for the passenger to make the phone connect. I get why but I still hate this purposely implemented logic declination. (Can't have...

I appreciate the input guys. I hadn't found a way to do this and I was hoping that someone invented an outside-the-box method that I hadn't thought. If you read this and have an idea, please share. For now, my solution will be to have my wife put the audio book on my phone so that I can do it...

I just scheduled my recall for the trailer module the other day. My local dealer is 1 month out. No mobile service either. So I got that going for me. I do my own oil changes and I agree, change the oil; change the filter.

My intent seems to have gotten lost. I can play music, use Waze, etc just fine from my phone without issue. It does all of the things. When my wife is with me and we are going on a road trip, she likes to play audio books for us to enjoy. They are on her phone only. I want to use my phone...

I'm certain that this has been asked/answered but search is failing me so I'm asking it outright. Had an argument with the wife over this and it would be nice to find a working solution. I like to use my Pixel 8 for maps (Waze) and my wife would like to play audio from her Pixel 8. We found...

Nope. They sold out. I'll be getting a set for me and my son who also has a Maverick. Great idea.

Year : 2024 When I purchased it it was still under a recall notice and couldn't be released to me. It was March 2024 when I tool possession. Hybrid or EcoBoost: Hybred. Current mileage: I keep a spreadsheet with my mileage. @15518 miles, I average 42.03 miles per gallon. Biggest issue so...

In my post on hybred vs ecoboost, I stated that I don't like to spend a big ole bunch of money on what I consider a tool to get me to and from places. I need reliability over all else. I did fork out extra money for some creature comforts and even optional safety packages but the total cost...

For me, a car is just a tool to accomplish what I need to do. It's not a status symbol or a show piece. I don't need to race from one light to the next. If it can get me to and from work, to the store, take me on a vacation and run my errands reliably, then I want to spend as little cash as I...

There are several simple things that can affect MPG. 1) Outside temperature. If I lived in the Southern US, my mileage would be higher if all other conditions remained the same. 2) City V Hwy. I get shit mileage on the highway but my commute is more city which gives better mileage with a...

I don't buy new vehicles very often and my auto mechanics education is old school but... I like to get the first oil change after about 1,000 miles. The idea is that the break in miles produce the most metal bits and by changing the oil early removes most of those bits. If I'm right, I spent...

I looked at getting the Fumoto brand in the past. My concern with that style and others like it is that in the winter, it is not out of the relhm of possibilities that you'll run over the top of an ice chuck dropped by the car in front of you and then possibly break off the fitting which could...

I keep a spreadsheet of my mileage and I hit the one year mark. Here are the highlights from the spreadsheet. Note: I live in lower michigan where we get down to -50 and as high as 110 although both are very short lived extremes every year. I've filled the tank 23 times in one year. I...

I'm sad to report that I locked myself out twice this weekend.

100% agree.

I live in lower Michigan with a 2024 XLT Hybrid. I keep track of milage when I get fuel. During the summer with temps in the upper 90's I got up to 46 mpg. We just finished a cold streak with temps in the minus teens and my milage went down to about 35 mpg. So far, my milage is much better...

Yeah. I see that many of us have the same issue. I mean, many of us didn't consider the actual physical locking/unlocking button/switch/lever. Honestly, I locked myself out within minutes of bringing it home. I had left my phone in the truck along with the key and the door was locked...

You know. I'm looking at the illustration in post #2 of the door handle and it took me a while to figure out what you're showing me. I had it in my head that it was the electric buttons right there. Several of you even provided additional hints like posting about the "Lever" and I still...

Thank you for the insite on my issue. Note that I did a search and clearly did not search the right criteria so I thank you for showing me. I am finding this forum to be a great place of information on all kinds of things.

Two non-sequiturs. 1) I too was in the signal corp. 31C 2) Thank you for the write-up. I may do this mod.
