That's super cool, you got me with the headline....my real dream build would be something you can actually buy from Ford. I think my real dream build would be a Maverick with the Ranger 2.3 engine and transmission in AWD FX4. That would be spectacular and doable.

Yes, I just saw that and I missed that part. See, I made a mistake thinking you had the Maverick. My apologies I was wrong there. As to my original statement was that the OP was talking about a high compression turbocharged engine not a hybrid is correct not as you said.

At least I can read and if I'm wrong I'll admit it.

YOU are incorrect sir. My statement is about a HIGH COMPRESSION + TURBOCHARGED engine. Those are two conditions together, High compression AND turbocharged, not just high compression. Try re-reading it or maybe feed it in chatgpt for help. " Yours is hybrid, 87 is what you use. The poster...

Yours is hybrid, 87 is what you use. The poster is asking about high compression turbocharged direct injected ecooboost motors not your hybrid one.

Premium is best on ecoboost. Period. The manual says it....for high heat or towing use premium. Regular fuel in a high compression, direct injected turbo engine is never the "best." In other markets like Europe or australia, they recommend 95RON fuel which is closer to 91 octane then 87...

Yes, I missed the moulding part... not sure about that. As to removing the cement yes it ruins the bar but that was the cost of doing business to remove the cement. The construction company paid and referred me to the detailer that removed the cement and they told me they had done this many...

yes, it's safe way to try. I once had a Tacoma that was parked next to a cement pour and it splattered cement on it. They used claybar to remove the cement splatter too. I would use a real clay bar for paint removal, not the cloth though

Yes, but the "fix" is not really a fix. Turning the system completely off, including fresh air every single trip I make is not a fix. Yes if you remember to turn off the fan all the way before shutting it down, then when you start the car the next morning, the AC will not come on because the...

Yes, confirmed, crazy thing, but true. I wish Ford would fix that. It is very annoying to have the AC off, and have it come on every time, especially in the 2025+ models where there no physical controls or off buttons like the Ford Ranger. I tested a new Ranger and it works differently as...

I am shopping XL and XLT trims and finding the seat cushion to be very thin and only toward the rear of the seat. The front half of the driver's cusihon feels like it is 3/8" foam. What is weird is that both the XL and XLT seats are the same but for some reason the XLT seats feel slightly...

It is different between the hybrid and the EB. I had the EB and yes, I changed the 5w-30 blend at 1000 miles after break-in to 5w-30 full synthetic and would change it every 5K miles or 1 year after that regardless of the onboard oil monitor. These Ecoboost engines put oil through a lot...

I have owned two Subaru wagons and really missed when they discontinued them. I really like the Maverick but it's a little forced because it is the only game in town. Every other truck is gigantic. The platform itself is amazing. The interior is incredibly useful and the small bed, I ended...

Sorry yours does it too.. Yes that's exactly what happens and even warm it has become indecisive in shifting. They tried resetting the transmission and it did seem to improve a little but unfortunately I use my maverick mostly for short trips to the hardware store 2 minutes away and work 15...

Sad sold... still love the chassis, how it drives, size, looks but really disliked the all digital automatic interface with auto headlights, auto ac etc. Disliked it but was dealing with it. Then about 2 months after buying, it started to become a little indecisive in shifting. Then when...

I sold mine today. That's what I did today. :confused:

They look great! I did a similar thing with my tires. The first week I took the Pirelli Scorpions that came with my FX4 EcoBoost and replaced them with the exact OE Tremor tires, the slightly larger Wildpeaks. They also look amazing but after some time, I think I regret it. While the Hybrid...

I bought that cover brand new a few months ago and it did not include those? It looks like it's a safety device in case it comes off? Did someone buy the Ford cover like and and DID NOT get those also.

The guys that programmed all tech stuff on the Maverick were not thinking about Batteries in the real world...they were were programming on the assumption of a new battery in ideal condtions. So you have modems on 24.7 listening for bluetooth, for on air updates, your headlights come on...

Eventually that battery has to be recharged by regeneration or the engine which does consume power when the battery needs it. It is still using resources. Also I have the same concerns on ecoboost where the AC is needlessly coming on when I don't want it and using extra fuel and the engine...
