To answer your question, OP, you can run it on the highway/freeway for several minutes to get it to temp. You can also drive it around town in tow/haul or sport mode and it wall always run the engine when it's not standing still. And, being that it's cold out now, at least where I live, you...

I think you'll be fine. @The Real Maverick tows a trailer larger than yours with his Hybrid and I tow one larger than his with mine. It's slow going with a larger trailer, but doable. I would of course rather have a fullsize truck for towing, but I'm not moving my camper all the time and when...

Makes me wonder if the previous owner had a setup with solar panels on top of a tonneau cover. I've seen that done before by someone on this forum.

Looks like someone had a solar setup they were using out of their truck. That's the charge controller and the cables that would connect to a solar panel or two.

Small update. I installed the velcro strips for the Softopper along the plastic portion of my tailgate, so I could secure the rear of the top. I had the same experience as @MavFab . They installed easily and it worked great... for a while. I can't say how long they lasted since I don't remember...

I believe the factory tint on the rear windows is around 20%. If you go much darker than that on the front, you'll probably have to roll your windows down at night to see anything if you're worried about seeing something without lights, like a pedestrian, animal, etc. I went with 20% on my...

Changed mine myself at 5k. Put a larger capacity filter on that I found from one of the threads on this forum. Yeah, the first change is important and should be done sooner than the regular change interval, but I agree that it's not as dire as engines from yesteryear. I own a couple of 70s...

Sounds like you're agreeing with me.

As a hybrid owner, unless you want the best mpg between the two, just go for an ecoboost. I don't see any reason to get a hybrid unless you want better mpg, which is what I personally wanted. The ecoboost has more configurations and capabilities. That's really the long and short of it. Once you...

This is the extent of my Maverick "off roading", so far. Keep the quotations in mind. My Maverick is my DD, so I keep it on road for that task. I was curious how it'd handle the type of terrain in those pics in case I had to make an unexpected "detour". I save more challenging or fun...

Mine only does that when it's moist out, like in the morning after a rain. Just do one fairly hard stop to engage the actual brake pads (make the brake coach go into the white instead of just the green) and the pads will wipe the moisture off the rotors. I do that right after getting in for my...

I don't know if they've changed anything in the material or not over the last few years, but I've noticed the Softopper on my Mav is a lot more pliable in the cold weather than my other one. I don't roll up the rear window on my Bronco when it's freezing out as it feels very stiff and I'm...

Got mine specifically for my dogs. I have a dog bed in the... bed... all the time. I don't like the aesthetic of the Softopper on trucks. I think they look dumb, because they don't cover the entire bed rail and line up flush with the side of the cab. That goes for all of the Softoppers made for...

First mod(s) was window tint and paint protection film. Added at the same time.

I went back and forth between these two rusty hunks as a daily and/or off road toy. '77 F100 and '78 Bronco. Gonna try to keep this one a little less rusty and beat up.

1) Model Year - '23 2) Month/Year of delivery - 10/23 2) # of problem free miles - 415 Only had it a couple of weeks, but no issues yet. Took about a half day to get used to how the hybrid functions (regen, ecvt) compared to a pure gas engine and traditional automatic trans. Significantly...

I've been tracking progress on my own, but my dealer called me the other day saying to expect it within the next couple weeks. I originally ordered one in November 2021 which got "rolled over". Didn't absolutely need the Maverick, so I haven't minded the wait. I wasn't going to order a '24 if...

Booyah! So funny. It's nice to see the hybrid towing some stuff. Mine's supposed to be made in a couple weeks (week of 9/25). 🤞 It will be replacing my F100 as far as towing and hauling goes and then I'll be able to tinker with my F100 without having to worry about having it in one piece, so I...
