Today is the 2 year anniversary mark of taking delivery of my 2022 Lariat. Currently at 32,403 miles, and I detailed the crap out of it for the occasion. I try to keep it pretty spotless, thanks to Blake at Long McArthur Aftermarket, she got a good start with a ceramic coating at...
So, after taking suggestions from folks about strong car mount cubby solutions, I settled on a solution I was happy with using a LISEN magsafe car mount attached to an Akro HD cubby mount. Everything was cool until I put the phone in a dbrand ghost case I got some weird warning about the...
I can't tell you how many car phone magnet solutions that I have returned for not being a solid solution or not having a strong enough magnet. Combine that with the fact that I want the solution to be in the Maverick cubby hole next to the display, and I have just been pulling my hair out...
I can't recall anyone mentioning this before, but my Hybrid has a total lack of recall of what state the HVAC was in when I shut it off, and decides on it's own what to turn on when I start the truck back up.
Example: I might have left things with the heat off and heated seats on level 1 and...
I think today was my first time driving my 22 Mav in the blowing snow. It wasn't sticking to anything, but apparently it stuck to the ACC sensor on the front grill enough to cause it to disable itself.
I got this message "Adaptive Cruise Not Available Sensor Blocked See Manual".
Was just a...
Turn off autoupdates!
I have confirmed with Ford Customer Relations that the rear camera view delay feature has been deleted as of build 22251! Ford deleted it as a safety issue because of people using it while driving and having accidents.
Also changed was the display background resets to...
So today I noticed that after reverse, and then drive I was no longer seeing a preview of the rear while driving off. I went to the features menus, then rear camera and the option for rear view camera delay is no longer showing in the options. Can anyone with a Lariat check this out on their...
I got to thinking about how expensive the LED lighting is for the Maverick to replace, and I'm thinking why am I bothering to run LED daytime running lights on my 2022 hybrid? They're not required by law in my state, and they are expensive to replace.
To those who imply they save lives, I'm...
So, I used to be a software developer, full disclosure the last time I developed an app for iOS was iOS 6, but I've developed for many platforms before that and after that.
I bring that up because I pay attention to conditions for reproduction via testing.
I've reached the conclusion that iOS...
I attempted to get CSP 22B39 scheduled (among other things) with my local Ford dealer. He stated that the parts for the CSP are on back order with no indication on when they will arrive? Anyone else with this issue? Especially in the Philly region?
Hey, just a shout out to the guy I see in Chester County, PA quite a bit (or maybe it could be a fleet of them) in the ServPro wrapped Maverick. I managed to capture him on my dashcam recently. I just got around to editing for upload. Not much too it as I didn't try to catch up to him...
I have a 22, but I don't recall seeing anyone mention the 23's having the rear plate centered. Maybe this guy did a custom job. I may have to pull the video off of my dash cam. Can anyone explain how or why? I love the charm of the rear plate being off kilter to the right.
Yes, I'm sure...
I have tried so many cell phone mounts which don't work or are not powerful enough to work for holding in place with a magnet when the iphone is in a case of any medium amount of thickness. All the ones that I have tried can't handle the weight.
Please post pictures and links to your favorites.
So, I've decided that my garage is too dark, and I don't want to go crazy hiring an electrician, but I remembered how Big Ass Fans makes a really bright garage light. Or so they *used* to. They are currently marked unavailable.
Anyone want to share a solution for garage lighting that they...
I had the pickup at the dealer to have recall and other things done, and they claim that since they can't repro the grabby brakes issue, Ford will not let them perform TSB 22-2493. How did you folks get this addressed with your dealer, or were you able to repo on demand? I only get this...
My Mav Hybrid has been needing the Sync 3 Update for a while, but it will not perform the update over my wifi. Despite my 200MB wifi wireless download speed on my 1 GB wired network.
I asked the dealer to do it, and they said that the charge would be $179. I said nevermind. Are other...
What is up with the fact that sometimes after hitting push button start on my Lariat, it doesn't say "Ready to Drive", but it says "Accessories Fully Active"? If you're not looking out for it, you are trying to change the dial from Park to Drive and it won't budge. I have to press the start...
I've seen this happen a couple of times now, so I don't think I'm imagining things. I think I can reproduce the scenario as well.
Go on a typical drive
Come back to your house, leave the engine on.
Put the car in park
Observe the mileage MPG numbers
open driver's door.
Get out of the pickup...
