I have this problem too and don't want to make slamming the seat back a long-term habit so maybe I'll add some washers next time I need to do this. Thanks for the idea!
I don't think the Maverick ride is quite as smooth or quiet as the Tucson, but it's close enough. The Tucson felt more powerful, but its mpg was actually kinda bad (and the Tucson forums are full of complaints about the mpg, so I don't think it was my driving style). Having physical controls on...
Originally my search started a few years ago, before the release of the Maverick.
At that time I looked at the Tacoma, Ranger (had owned one before), Colorado, and Ridgeline. I liked the Ridgeline the most, but the only ones in stock were top of the line and the local dealers were very proud of...
Ok, so I just checked, and it has the following mode sequence
Normal
Tow/Haul
Slippery
Eco
Sport
I'll need to clear all the 'Ok' presses out of the way some time to check, but my guess is what's happening is that the first tap highlights the current mode (Normal), and then taps 2, 3, and 4...
Good question: I'll have to check (I have Normal, Tow/Haul, Sport, and Eco, though maybe not in that order). Early on I figured out that if I tap mode once, pause a sec, and then tap it three times it lands in Eco. My starting routine is:
Buckle seatbelt
Foot on brake
Tap Engine start/stop
Tap...
I ordered an EB 2022 Lariat Lux with 360 on the last day possible (late Jan 22) having waited too long and missed the last day to order a Hybrid 2022.
When Ford cancelled our 2022 orders I talked to my dealership and asked if they could switch me to a Hybrid for my 2023 order. Later I got a...
I will miss adaptive cruise control: I never thought of it before, but had it on my spouse's prior car and found I really like it. I did originally order a 22 Hybrid Lariat with CoPilot 360, which had it, but when Ford split 360 into two parts for 23 my dealer didn't include the second part on...
Fifth truck, third Ford, second Ford truck, second hybrid, and replaces a Colorado that was too tall for my shot knees.
The Maverick is what I was looking for when I settled for the Colorado, but at that time every manufacturer had apparently abandoned the compact truck market. After fourteen...
I had a 2017 Escape that made a creaking sound when turning right at neighborhood speeds, and then creaked again when straightening back out after completing the right-hand turn. The dealership made it go away a few times by retightening the seat mount (the seat bolts?) but within a few hundred...
I reserved an EB on the last day we could (1/27/2022) after spending several months trying to buy one off a lot. My last email from Ford was on 8/18/2022. I worked with my dealer to renew for 2023, and asked if we could change to a Hybrid. I never got any more emails from Ford, so I assumed my...
