  1. 12V Phantom Power Drain

    8 months after FINALY receiving my FORD MAVERICK Hybrid XLT, it DIED. Had to have it (dragged-no tether) Towed to the dealer. One whole week later they told me it was just a defective battery. That's OK, I can understand a freak, one in a billion goofed up car battery. Two days ago, or 3 months...
  2. Dealer Wont Replace Airbags Under Recall!

    My Rep. stated parts are on order, 2 month wait is anticipated.
  3. Officially in the 12s with modified Maverick XLT EcoBoost AWD

    CHEESE & CRACKERS !. Really fast modified street cars might do 11s. I had to manhandle my 1200 cc Suzuki Bandit to break 12s.
  4. SSM posted for Hybrid Maverick brake problem: Brakes Grab During Light Braking When Applied At OrBelow 6.2 Mph (10 Km/h) -- 10/21/22

    I thought it was the "RE-generation system" releasing unexpectedly, that forces the Driver to focus more on the brakes. ie: Pull up to a stop light and stop, without taking any pressure off the brake pedal, the truck begins rolling forward. Is it a "BRAKE GRABBING" issue ? It does seem to become...
  5. Project Annie: Lowered AWD + Stereo System Upgrades

    Amazing what a few inches will do. That fender gap is almost repulsive when ya compare the before and after. Lower just looks better on ANYTHIN !
  6. Buschur's Maverick off to the races, [email protected] mph 1/4 mile!

    Thats just wrong. A kid I grew up with, put a solid lift cam in his 1970 Chevelle, with a 396 automatic, and we were all stoked. That #, 13.56 was permanently etched in my brain. He would now blow the doors off my 65 Goat. I have owned over 40 cars & bikes. I really can't find anything to...
  7. IIHS front collision avoidance testing results posted for 2022 Maverick

    A Truck Driver friend of mine lost a little control of his own bodily functions while driving his semi thru a curve on the freeway and an empty, black plastic trash bag, blew across in front of him. If the load would have SH--TED, robotics would be to blame for taking lives. Arnold tried to warn us.
  8. First Oil Change on Hybrid Maverick XLT -- my notes / tips

    No one has EVER proven an engine failure due to lack of REGULAR oil changes. Did the bearing get destroyed (spin) by NOT changing the oil regularly ? Or by letting the crank case run low ? Caked up oil is caused by paraffin based oil. That build up is heated, crusty, wax. Oil never breaks down...
  9. Just got a PM from this person saying they are with Ford: Possible Scam?

    DUDE ,,, DO NOT BUY THE "END OF EARTH INSURANCE " !!!
  10. Buyers Remorse?

    God Bless America ! Where Our greatest right, is our right to Bitch. I just returned from my Doctor, He says I only have 20 years to live..... MY silly little bitch is that, TOO MUCH new technology is over-kill. I have owned well over 40 Cars, Trucks & Motorcycles. I have operated Airplanes...
  11. Cutting corners

    I learned to work on front ends, suspensions, brakes etc. in my teens. I still remember vividly being taught how to release tapered ends from Ball Joints and Tie Rod ends. I was taught to use a FIVE POUND MAUL AND SWING AT THAT CASTING AS HARD AS YOU COULD, AS MANY times as it took to break...
  12. Driving your Maverick Fast

    Same problem, Look down at the speedo, OHH SHOOOT,,, 85 ???
  13. Gotta get used to the size!

    The size thing is an ego trip till ya drove 40 tons Down town San Francisco. I wish the Maverick was half the size.
  14. So... 9000 miles and... hit by a FedEx semi

    I GUARANTEE, the Truck Driver knew, that little car would not get by !
  15. So... 9000 miles and... hit by a FedEx semi

    I am biased, but it Sounds to me like you tried to force the 40 ton vehicle off the road, with you 2 ton truck, rather than lifting the throttlefor a few seconds. A Semi weighs as much as 21 Mavericks. I drove semi's around San Francisco Bay Area for 25 years. People (unconsiously) "HATE" to...
  16. I test drove 4 vehicles yesterday...

    My 6 Foot FIVE neighbor says he would be fine making a several hour trip in the back of my Maverick. Let's do a ROAD TRIP WALLE. I want to share my Music library with a TRUE ARTIST.
  17. Eibach Lowering Springs Kit for Maverick, Finally Installed!

    So Joe, How Low DID you Go ? Is that 2" front and rear ? I think the STANCE is almost perfect. I want to do the same only maybe leave half to one inch in the rear, make the bed rails look flat as the Earth.
  18. 15.79 in 1/4 mile for Hybrid Maverick. My Daughter's first time racing won FWD class! And still gettin 45 mpg!!!

    Not sure which is prettier. I have driven 40 ton Semi's, Forklifts, Rat Rods, 1200 cc Suzuki Bandit @ high 11s. My new Maverick gets up on the freeway without worry of becoming a Mack Truck Hood ornament. Someday, Somewhere, someone will build a 6 second Maverick. I am stoked with what I got...
  19. What is the slot used for just below the Traction buttons? My dog dropped some debris in it.

    A special CREDIT CARD. By 2025 when you exceed the speed limit, Or violate ANY law, A chip in the instrument cluster automatically charges the card. No more foul language ? That's what we get for defunding the po po.
