  1. Which 4K Tows Best -- EcoBoost AWD or Hybrid AWD

    They do the same. Arguably the hybrid has slightly better braking with the regen and the same size brakes but nothing to write home about. If you have to pass people at 110mph then maybe the EcoBoost. End of the day both of them will safely tow and stop 4000lbs.
  2. Recall (Campaign 26E04) issued July 2026 - Powertrain Control Module - Software update needed.

    Mine specifically says to schedule with my dealership and software is not available yet.
  3. Recall (Campaign 26E04) issued July 2026 - Powertrain Control Module - Software update needed.

    25 Hybrid. I have it too, but it's not something I'll worry about.
  4. 6 hour rule when Flat towing for 2025-26 AWD Hybrids & 15 min. wait before starting the engine

    There was a transmission design change, as well as the addition of AWD in some cases for 2025+. Yes it still seems odd to me, but it could be to allow for proper module wake up, shut down, reset, recalibration, etc.
  5. Let’s talk Dash Cams

    I have a Wolfbox G900 Tri-Pro. It works very well, I have it hardwired into the fuse panel and it's left running on time lapse mode 24/7.
  6. 2026 Hybrid - Driving in Econ Mode

    I honestly couldn't find anywhere where it says to change it at all with info direct from Toyota for the hybrid. I did find an unverified source that said 30-60,000 miles for severe. Probably the same 100,000miles.
  7. 2026 Hybrid - Driving in Econ Mode

    For reference sake Toyota recommends 100,000km (60,000miles) for severe and 160,000km (100,000miles) for regular use on their E-CVT. That being said they don't tow or haul as much generally but their lower regular duty interval is nice to see. I do feel like 50,000km (35,000miles) is slightly...
  8. 2026 Hybrid - Driving in Econ Mode

    The Hybrid Transmission fluid is only good for 50,000km (35,000miles) as per the severe service interval provided by my dealership.
  9. 2026 Hybrid - Driving in Econ Mode

    I have 50,000km on my truck now. I stopped using Eco as I found no real benefit on my commute. My new record was achieved on normal mode. 4.44L/100km.
  10. Cut key and fob,save 100's,$$

    Yes, you must have the two original keys to do it without the dealer.
  11. 2023 2.0 Ecoboost Transmission complete Failure at 83k miles - No Help from Ford 9k to fix

    I honestly don't believe that there is ever a time when conditions aren't severe. The vehicle would need to be in climate controlled garage with HEPA filtration running on rollers at 30mph for 11 miles then shut off for it not to be severe.
  12. Missing features of my 26 Lariat HB

    Yes they would, maybe in the next refresh Ford can use an OLED screen so anything black is off and doesn't produce light while still retaining mandated buttons.
  13. 2023 2.0 Ecoboost Transmission complete Failure at 83k miles - No Help from Ford 9k to fix

    Fluids need changed. Even the Hybrid has a 50,000km transmission fluid change interval if you tow. These aren't two speed Ford-O-Matics. The fluid is used as a coolant, lubricant and hydraulic. There are dozens of clutches that need to slip for user comfort each one contaminates the fluid. I'm...
  14. Hard downshifting at lower speeds

    Just put paddles on it. It's not a very hard modification.
  15. Cold vs Warm MPG difference — how big was yours?

    14.5km/L in the winter on Michelin X-Ice Snow. It got cold enough a couple times the hybrid system wouldn't kick on at all to protect the batteries. 20.5km/L in the summer Factory Continental TX
  16. Some form of automatic braking is annoying me

    Hybrids/EB Lariats are brake by wire too! The pedal has a hydraulic backup but doesn't do anything under normal conditions.
  17. LED reverse light bulb for the 2026 Ford Maverick XLT? I’ve tried lights from F15EDs and LAZFIT but none have same base and none work.

    Gotcha I wasn't 100% sure, the reverse and box lights don't need Canbus or resistors they aren't monitored by the BCM. *Edit* *I may be wrong and it was only the box lights that are 921 I swear I put them in the reverse lights too, I'll double check.* My reverse lights are 921 equivalent (I'm...
  18. LED reverse light bulb for the 2026 Ford Maverick XLT? I’ve tried lights from F15EDs and LAZFIT but none have same base and none work.

    @HeyBales Did you put white bulbs in the red brake light housings? Is so, don't do that. The bulb colour must match the plastic colour generally.
  19. The Steeda Maverick has finally arrived!

    That would be fairly easy with V-band clamps. Just need to make each muffler a standard length and a couple vbands, the hardest part would be lifting it up each time. For R&D that's a pretty good idea.
  20. eBay Front Lip (3 Piece Air Designs Style)

    Patience is a virtue for sure. Just surprised the 25 XL's got a lip first!
