You shouldn't be. The grabbing brakes was addressed just short of two years ago on the hybrids for '22. Shuddering, I believe, was addressed in one of the software updates as well. It had to do with switching between ICE and EV. If these started after a software update you may want to have that...
I had the same issue and ultimately couldn't justify ~15-18% of the whole truck's cost just for a cap.
Years ago when I looked at caps anything over $1,500 from any manufacturer was well into commercial. A cap for a Mazda I was looking at was something around $750, matched paint. Awhile after...
I am not talking about hybrid v EB behavior, I am well aware of those reasons. I am talking about EBs with ACC being able to maintain speeds while going down a hill versus EBs without ACC being unable to do so. There shouldn't be a behavior difference between the regular CC system and the ACC...
My brother and I make the same drive, the EB is nowhere near my hybrid in economy.
Now, maybe at 78+ MPH that changes and the hybrid's efficiency falls off, while the EB doesn't fall off as much. We don't have any way of testing that ourselves as anything above 75 is ticket territory.
Stop picking on the Santa Cruz, it's not its fault it was born ugly. We shouldn't stare.....
Based off my time with a Ridgeline, it shouldn't exist as a product and simply does because people will buy the Honda name, no matter what it is slapped on. It is not surprising people shopping the...
That's interesting. Why would Ford have a difference in this behavior between the two systems? We have, and had, much older vehicles that maintain their cruise speed down hills.
Depending on a couple of conditions I can maintain 40(+/-) MPG at freeway speeds across a 1 hour trip I make on a regular basis. My brother's EB sits at about 27 MPG.
🤨
Those speeds are killing your fuel economy. Who knows what an EB is going to do if you can kill a hybrid like that.
That logic also kills me! It doesn't matter if we go 50 miles in one trip or over 8 trips. 50 miles is 50 miles.
In our case we have 2 or 3 miles between each of the stores we shop at when we are in town. We can cruise in almost entirely EV between each stop. With the ice coming on to maintain...
At this point Ford is just MaveRick Rolling us with recalls and the like.
Every time I open my mailbox:

I know you really like this truck.
But it let you down.
It needs another service.

Is the 48" not too long? The DIY directions from Ford call for 30" hangers. I have the 36" kit from @Realtruck pulled up right now and I was thinking of a need to cut it down.
The hybrid and EB Maverick's have widely different downhill behavior. With my hybrid I can set a speed with cruise and it will keep that speed up and down our steep hills. It feels like I could throw it out of a plane and it would maintain the set cruise speed, some how.
My brother's EB does...
'22.
~46,00 miles.
24 months ownership.
870 recalls, tsb, csp, and warranty repairs. I have had more problems with this truck than all my cars combined, including my classics.
Zero plans of getting rid of it.
I am having no issues.
Quick note: RainX and other repellents can cause automatic wipe systems to stop functioning properly - if the vehicle is equipped with them.
This would be my guess as well.
It isn't just about usage but about exposure time. The blades are rubber and/or silicon and...
I find it absolutely wild how much more expensive the Ridgeline is to the Maverick. I have owned more than a few Honda's in my life and the Ridgeline is a disappointment. It is also worth pointing out that the Ridgeline is more in line with the Ranger when looking at cost.
While the Ridgeline...
My wife averages a solid 37-38 MPG at 70+ MPH. I average about 40 MPG on the same trip and under the same conditions. I use cruise control, she does not.
In town I can regularly break 100 MPG, she drives it right at the rated 42 MPG.
Try putting it in slippery mode, it will glide very easily...
They are the only company that went after the market/segment that the Maverick sits in. That market being a compact and low(ish) cost vehicle/truck that has utility to it.
When you can walk onto a lot and easily drop $60,000-$100,000 on an oversized and lifted pavement princess (with American...
They should be able to track it down with having a code that specifies which system(s) are having the issue.
All new Ford's come with 5 year/60,000 mile Roadside Assistance. You only needed to call the number in your owner's manual, on their website or found via the FordPass ap.
