Welcome... The forums scared me about rust, but not seen any problems on mine 7 months in.

Bought an XLT for a (ordered in 21, delivered in 23) XLT friend and a Lariat for me. Drove hers for about a month before she flipped it. The Lariat is maybe a bit quieter, but it is also that the frequencies of sounds are different. The extra dampening (acoustic glass and probably some foam in...

Tire Rack has a close out sale on Sparco all terrain ($175 for the 18”) which is light. Ford’s wheels are pretty light. The Lariat’s 18’s are a real PINTA to clean.

That is not normal. Try a reset and see if there are any updates for your Maverick over WiFi. Also, try ensuring your phone is not locked when you plug it in. If I unlock my phone after plugging it in, the system sometimes acts as you describe. Something is wrong with Sync3audio quality. Wired...

Handling ... its no sports car, but its no truck. As much as people wax poetic about the first gen VW GTI, it feels like a long-wheelbase version of that car. It's no first gen Focus SVT (which still sets the standard for FWD handling IMHO. That thing could be coaxed into controllable oversteer...

I ordered two Mavericks, one for a friend who was down on her luck and needed reliable transportation for her and her children. I also ordered my Lariat. I signed the deal for both of them and paid the deposit back in November of 2021. She was quick to get back on her feet and we decided it was...

Completely agree. Tell me you bought something with a CCS port without telling me you bought something with a CCS port. Ford's adoption of the NACS (Tesla Supercharger) port is an absolute game changer for Ford. Makes the Lightning A LOT more desirable. The CyberTruck will do 1MW charging. If...

I agree and burn plenty of hydrocarbons where it makes sense to do so. On a carbon basis, with our local energy mix, our planet's most efficient EV does about 144 MPGe. At work, with 198 folks and 6 crew we are more than 144 MPGe doing 8/10ths the speed of sound across the ocean. Can't do that...

Why the collective freak out about headlights...

None. Bought the Maverick based on the history of this drivetrain on the Escape and Fusion going back to 2005. The Mazda/Ford engine is low stress. Should be as bulletproof as the old 2.3L Ranger. But then, things have started breaking on the Maverick (on the forums) which should NOT be...

What if you had the freedom to choose how much you paid for gas? 10KWH roughly takes me as far as a gallon of gas does in a Maverick Hybrid. So with this rough measure, my choices are: At a Gas Station $3.40 At home during the afternoon $1.40 (also what we get charged at the airport / work) At...

Yep. The EV part of the Hybrid Maverick is the best part. More of that! Get rid of the rest.

That makes zero sense. Should the ecoboosts take off their turbochargers and try to fit a Solex 1bbl carb on their trucks? When an EV is powered by fossil fuels it becomes a much more highly efficient fossil-fuel-powered vehicle. The only difference is the form that the energy takes. An...

Buy tires at Tesla? They're just tires. Tire Rack has everything Tesla has. Almost all installers know not to jack the car up using the battery. Just ask if unsure. As for the radar, there is a lot of internet hype that is not correct. The sensors are still there, but they do not poke through...

Voice command "turn on wipers" or "turn wipers to medium" etc ... this is not hard. Sometimes it can be funny. "my balls are sweating" used to turn on the air conditioner. Just bought a Maverick and I really like it, but having to push buttons is such a drag. Having to use the brake and try to...

Not sure what you mean? The power meter? We can't really see the electrical status. I usually keep the EV?Hybrid coah screen up with the little power bar display. Mine will run in EV mode at 70 if the grade is level to slightly down-hill and not asking too much of climate control.

Mike, Got the harness quickly, thank you. Works great. Then I decided to mod it. Noticed it is wired to the hot battery bus. Is it better to use the switched power? I am going to add a 12v to 5v to USB female for a dashcam, so I cut the harness apart and moved the outer-most pin to switched...

We made the same mistake when I ordered mine. Took a screen shot of this forum and sent it to the dealer. He kept re-running the order until we got it right.

A lot less to the Ranger STX. "a list that includes 17-inch silver-painted aluminum wheels, LED reflector headlamps, halogen fog lamps, a dampened tailgate, and premium cloth-covered bucket front seats."

On the F150 and most other Ford products I am familiar with the STX Package is "machined aluminum wheels with flash gray painted pockets, body color bumpers, front fascia, and grille surround and nostrils with black mesh insert, halogen fog lamps, privacy glass, rear window defroster, and STX...
