So I went into the Engineering Test mode on my 2020 Edge just to see if the access procedure was the same and if the tweak for fuel economy readings were there - yes to both, no problem. Then after that, I go to my iphone and my Ford Pass app is reporting malfunctions for anti-lock brakes...

So what the hell is 'twin scroll' anyway? I see Ford always saying that but there's never an explanation of what it is or how it's better. Thanks

I recently saw an industry report about anemic production due to the chip shortages across almost all car makers. It said Ford expects its North American production to be about 50% of where they'd like it to be based on demand. The industry has already lost $110 billion due to the pandemic and...

Wow -- I'm kind of astounded by almost everyone saying the on board computers gives optimistic mpg numbers, sometimes wildly so. My 2013 Edge had 105,000 miles on it and I checked the gas mileage manually every single time I filled up. The computer and the actual calculation are very very...

It's leather and fabric in first/biz, all leather in premium economy and economy. :p As you can see, in economy we've even copied the orange accents like the Maverick uses :LOL:

Really? That's what I was expecting. But on my back underneath I couldn't see any sign of bolt-on and did see welding where the back of the hitch meets the rear crossmember. All I can say is that is was very hard to see too much because it's concealed by shields but maybe what I thought was a...

Thanks for that info, great to know this -- so just to confirm, the Ford Homelink system is entirely self-contained in the little unit with three buttons in the visor and there are no additional parts to the system located somewhere else in the car/truck? Also, I checked with the Ford parts...

It surprised me but actually I wasn't too thrilled about it because if you don't have a hitch and want to add a factory hitch later, weld-on vs. bolt-on makes it much more difficult.

Yes and I didn't mention before but the Bronco Sport Outer Banks model also has the same exact Michelins as the Maverick. Makes sense - they're both built in the same place and the Sport and the Maverick are really the same vehicle with different body configurations.

Yes -- and Ford does not put any insulation on the underside of the hood on either the Maverick or Bronco Sport. My Edge has it and now I'm curious and need to look at new Edge's, Explorers, etc to see if they still have insulation under the hood or not. I have noticed that Ford has now...

Thanks for the kind words. Some people have mentioned engine noise which I did not address. I did not find the 2.0 engine to be too noisy, even under full throttle acceleration. It was about the same as the 2.0 Escape Titanium. As for the road noise, it is possible some of that is related to...

Thanks for that info! I didn't realize stability control was federally required. A quick Google search and I learned it's been required since 2011 - for ten years. I do think manufacturers should list these safety features, required or not. How many consumers are aware of this? Probably not...

Thanks but I'm not so sure about that - at least using Ford parts. I checked with the Ford parts dept and the visor for the Maverick is around $200!! and does not include the Homelink because it's not offered on the Maverick. I asked and it does not appear the Maverick uses a visor common to...

It's pushing 230AM here at the underground lair and I'm currently enjoying another "mojo", so forgive me if I inevitably overlook something. Obviously, I consider this a rough draft :p So here's my story -- I "reserved" a Maverick on the Ford website back in early June. As part of that process...

I agree with you but let's keep in mind they aren't sending the Mavericks here from Mexico on a ship. The chips it needs, maybe.

And good luck just waltzing over to Toyota and hopping into a new truck. My local Toyota dealer, which seems typical of most, has literally ZERO new vehicle inventory. The same shortages that are hitting all manufacturers are not something Toyota is immune to. Of course when they do have...

This is also the letter I received today and it is different from the letter others have posted. Changes include: -- no mention of waiting "stinks". -- "there's already one with your name on it", has been added. -- "will be delivered next year" is new language not in the other letter. For...
