  1. Tire replacement time is approaching.

    I have 35,000 miles on my Defender 2's on my 2024 Maverick and they are going strong with lots of tread left and still grip well. I put them on my Camry hybrid as well and have over 30,000 miles on these with no complaints.
  2. New tires and rims: 17" Method 502 wheels with Michelin Defender 2 tires (235/65x17)

    I just hit 14k miles into my Defenders and have no noticeable difference in mpg. Now that summer is over I get around 41 to 42mpg average. I am about 60/40 highway/local roads. During the summer I was between 32 and 35mpg due to the heat and the hybrid system not working much over 95 degrees.
  3. New tires and rims: 17" Method 502 wheels with Michelin Defender 2 tires (235/65x17)

    I am over 10k miles on Defender 2's on my Maverick hybrid. They are significantly better than the Conti's. My wife is also over 10k miles on Defender 2's in her Camry hybrid. There is no significant MPG difference that I have noticed.
  4. Best Fuel economy on a hybrid

    I agree with all of your points. Additionally having L on with colder temperatures will cause engine braking when the battery is fully charged/heated. Use it with caution but it can be helpful if you need it to slow down the vehicle faster and get the best regen possible.
  5. Best Fuel economy on a hybrid

    I live in Phoenix. When it is over 105F or so the battery will not charge due to the heat so I get lower fuel economy during the extreme heat. It works in the morning when it is cooler but not during the peak heat of the day during the summer. So if it is below 50F or above 105F I see lower...
  6. You’ve gotta know when to fold ’em

    I recently had an issue with my 22 XLT Hybrid with 27,000 miles where it would violently shake at 50%+ power between 35-70mph. When the issue really showed itself I traded it in the next day for a 24 XLT Hybrid. I drive up to 100 miles a day when I go to the office so I needed a reliable...
  7. Headliner Issues after Side Airbag Recall Replacement

    Zero issues. Took from 7am to 4pm at my dealer. They said they worked on 12 Mavericks at the same time that day with 1 Tech per car.
  8. MORE AIR BAG RECALL ISSUES!

    I will say that my experience with the airbag recall went well and there were no complications. Had an appointment and it was done that day. In at 7am and done at 4pm. They told me that they had 12 Mavericks being done all at the same time that day with 1 Tech per car. My dad set an...
  9. Where did you hide your Airtag, Smart Tag, etc in your Maverick?

    You would have to verify this works but what about the auxillary 12v connection point in the bed or behind the Cubby area of the bed.
  10. Best Looking Hybrid over 40MPG????

    Depends on what "Truck stuff" I have to do. Haul a few bags of chicken feed - yes. Haul 25 bags of mulch - Maverick takes that win.
  11. Best Looking Hybrid over 40MPG????

    My wife has a Camry Hybrid that gets over 50mpg. I like the styling of both the Maverick and her Camry.
  12. A little tint goes a long way... 15% all the way around.

    I tinked all 5 windows (not the Windshield) and it cost me $150. They also came to my house to do it and were done in 1 hour. Legal limit here is 30% front and anything rear.
  13. Cheap solution for lack of rear A/C

    I live in Phoenix and my rear passengers have never had an issue with it being overly hot. I did tint my truck with 30% front and 5% (limo tint) rear. It made a huge difference in the temperature of the truck.
  14. Backup Camera frozen on display...after shifting to drive

    I also had this message. I had a wireless android auto device plugged in and uplugged it and the screen came back to normal. I reattached the device and the frozen camera image came back. After I restarted the truck the camera operation and android auto device worked as expected.
  15. Hybrid Floor Mats recommendation?

    As a followup to them being cheaper on Ebay direct from Smartliner. Smartliner Ford Maverick Hybrid Mats
  16. Hey all, New to the forum, question on tinted windows

    Privacy Glass has the tint in the Window. You can see through but it is darker. After tinting: 30% front - 5% rear on top of factory privacy glass (Legal in AZ)
  17. Hybrid Maverick owners with no issues / problems -- please speak up

    4800 miles and a few quirks but no issues. Quirk #1 - Electric mode doesn't come on over 110F. That is due to my climate though and most won't even see this. Quirk #2 - The brakes take some time to get used to.
  18. Found the ambient high temperature limits of the hybrid's electric motor/battery

    I believe it is shut off over 110F so it is mostly just engine. I did have a short electric only opportunity but it is very brief. I'm also "only" at 33MPG right now with driving in this heat.
  19. XLT Hybrid not going full Electric in 114F heat (Phoenix, AZ)

    I noticed this week that my fuel economy was a lot lower (Close to 31 mpg for 200 miles) and that when it was the heat of the day near 114 that full electric mode didn't turn on even with the cabin being cool. Has anyone else with extremely high temperatures noticed this behavior as well. When...
  20. Hybrid in hot weather

    I did legal limit tint on my truck. Limo in the back and 35% up front. It really does help reduce the heat.
