  1. Towing a 1500lb camper trailer with hybrid?

    When drag has a far greater impact than weight. Besides, a lightweight high profile trailer is not going to be easily controlled.
  2. Hybrid Maverick towing observations [*Hybrid talk only*]

    Not exactly. 4K is only available on AWD which has a completely different rear suspension.
  3. Towing a 1500lb camper trailer with hybrid?

    Remember, the hybrid not only has a weight limitation, but also a frontal area of 20 sq ft as well. This pretty well limits it to tent trailers.
  4. Dead Hybrid (round 2) Clarification

    It’s not aluminum. It’s tinned copper.
  5. Foggy Rear Window Issue?

    In many years of owning trucks of almost all manufacturers, I’ve never used a rear window defogger. Like mentioned, make sure the hvac is not on recirc.
  6. Paint total crap on the Maverick

    I’m glad you’ve had good luck, but it is a known defect. Toyota recalled 10 years of super white on most vehicles except Tacoma...
  7. Paint total crap on the Maverick

    Good luck with Toyota paint. Google search Toyota super white. There are many Tacoma owners with the paint flaking off. My 2019 Tacoma tailgate had to be repainted when brand new because there was so much debris under the paint.
  8. *******HYBRID DEAD BATTERY REPAIR- CABLE LUG REPLACEMENT**********

    I would imagine an aluminum wire would probably start breaking strands. It is nowhere as durable as copper.
  9. *******HYBRID DEAD BATTERY REPAIR- CABLE LUG REPLACEMENT**********

    Pretty sure the wire is tinned copper and not aluminum.
  10. Confused on status of build

    I contacted the dealership who looked it up and supplied me the vin and production date.
  11. I test drove 4 vehicles yesterday...

    A small entry level vehicle for 2 6’+ people and a growing teen? I would look at least mid size. The Honda may cost a bit more than a Mav, but will you be dealing with all the shortcomings? Also, in 5 years which will be worth more?
  12. New Maverick Recall: 2.5 Hybrid Engine Fire Hazard [Updated w/ Safety Recall Notice to Dealers]

    Not all GDI engines have this issue. Toyota has direct and port injection to clean valves.
  13. 📸 Spotted: Mystery New Maverick Model With High Clearance Off-Road Bumper and Tires

    Those look like hoses. There are hose clamps and a coupling.
  14. Dealer recommendations near Las Vegas

    That’s what I figured. My dealings with Team have all been positive.
  15. Dealer recommendations near Las Vegas

    You sure it was Ford Country? They are in Henderson and owned by Goudin. Team Ford is up north, owned by Freindly Ford.
  16. Answered, thank you! - Help me understand if the Maverick can tow a 1,707 pound trailer.

    Nobody has mentioned the non 4K towing package 20 sq ft frontal limit which pretty much eliminates a normal travel trailer. A pop up would be much better.
  17. Non-lockable gas tank why?

    I don’t know why anyone thinks a locking gas cap will prevent anything. A thief will find it much quicker and more convenient just to pop a hole in your plastic gas tank and let it drain into a pan.
  18. 65mpg

    My point exactly. The OP shows an unrealistic short travel of 65mpg, so I’d share mine. Post back when he gets 65mpg over a tank full, or even 100 miles. Anyone can claim great mpg for a short trip.
  19. 65mpg

    Here’s my Tacoma.
  20. TSB 22-2124 -- 2.5L Hybrid idle surge fix (software update)

    They are not warped and burned. It has been shown these come that way.
