Yes, while I like some modern improvements, I would also be interested in one of those 80's Japanese small pickups (Toyota, Nissan, Mazda) with manual transmission, air conditioning, cruise control and every thing else kept minimal. Only upgrading to modern crash safety standards. I had an old...

Sure, but the claim/question was that all modern cars can be tracked without an App. I was trying to better understand that comment. To understand what technology is there already without the owner/driver using their phone or navigation system. Not to be obstinate, but all our vehicles at home...

Why not ignore the question if it makes ZERO sense to you? Are there not different usage patterns for different owners? I thought I asked a fairly simple question, looking to explore the possibility of removal before purchasing the truck. The bed could be used for other things, and it is more...

Do all modern cars have an always on cellular connection? I thought this was still a work in progress for most vehicles, that it would not become prevalent until there was more 5G/internet-of-things/driver-assist features. Where the customer paid for a data service. But I have not been keeping...

I usually put my phone in airplane mode when going on a road trip. As I don't want to be disturbed or worry about the battery. But my vehicle is old without a bluetooth stereo, charging ports, etc. Still it is one thing to be knowingly tracked through a smarthphone versus the vehicle. There is...

So this should be called the Ford Tracking and Snooping service. Even though it does seem helpful, the tracking is a bit concerning. If Ford would integrate this data with google, apple, facebook, gasbuddy, expedia, hotels.com, ... then I will be set as I drive around. :ROFLMAO: On a serous...

A fun idea and good marketing. Hopefully Ford or the aftermarket will do more like this. https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2021/11/02/all-electric-f-100-eluminator-concept.html

So it does appear that both the 12V and HV battery need sufficient charge for the vehicle to start. Though it also seems the 12V is more likely to go flat due for most owners to its small size and chemistry. I have just started to watch this series called "How do hybrids work" from the same...

I think this energy reservoir is a great way the think about the hybrid. It really highlights why they perform so well in city driving. And can help alleviate concerns about discharge during storage. In that most will not care if those stored electrons were lost if the battery sat unused for...

Did I understand your comment correctly, that the hybrid maverick's gasoline engine is started solely from the 12V battery? I got the impression from that video posted elsewhere here showing a Prius drivetrain from Professor John D. Kelly (WeberAuto channel), that the same generator/alternator...

Is the hybrid battery's lifetime affected by sitting unused for weeks at a time. For instance if the engine were not started for 4 weeks, 8 weeks, or even 12 weeks straight will that lack of charge shorten its life over the years? What if that pattern were periodically repeated? I read through...

Lots of helpful responses :rolleyes:. I just mentioned fast food as an example, as it came to mind as I was typing and added to hopefully avoid responses asking why? The main reason is for carpooling along with kids going to school, after school activities, etc. With multiple people in a...

haha, Yes I doubt anyone has tried modifying the interior of their new Maverick yet. I was hoping that someone had previous experience fixing something around the console in a different Ford vehicle that had a similar setup. I imagine that there is a single cable (hopefully separate...

Glad you asked about this. I noticed there was no space to hold a garage remote control overhead near the sunglass holder. I wonder why Ford did not include such a small cubby space for this overhead, so that all one needed to do wash reach up a push. :mad: I wonder if it will be difficult to...

Interesting responses. I keep vehicles for 10 years or more. I hesitate to even consider a new truck in 2021 with all supply chain shortages, but the hybrid Maverick will fit my lifestyle better and save enough gasoline to justify buying it now instead of later. I have not tried to order yet...

Has anyone looked into removing the forward portion of the center console? The section that sits in front of the arm rest. This would require relocating the gear selector and the array of drive control buttons, but presumably there should be empty space below this section of lower console?? I am...

@Bodageta I am reading through the sticky thread in Ordering, Pricing, ... subforum: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/📄-official-2022-maverick-product-packaging-guide-colors-trims-features-options-packages-codes.794/ and noticed that the XLT grill is described as having a gray...

Like you I initially wished they were a few shades lighter. But after watching a number of videos to see the different body color/trim/wheel/engine combinations, I am okay with them. I like that brake dust will not show. I also like the steel wheels, their simple utilitarian appearance without...
