  1. Poll, Hybrid owners with NO problems

    1) 2022 XLT Hybrid 2) January 6th, 2022 3) 13,000 trouble-free miles! I've had all available recalls performed, and had the dealer do the grabby-brake TSB (helped a smidge, but not enough). A perfectly fine around-town and road-tripping vehicle!

    Pacific Northwest Mavericks

    I had the airbag recall done, and didn't notice anything different when I got the truck back. Kendall Ford in Eugene told me they wanted keep the truck a couple of days to make sure they did the job correctly. A decent experience, all told! You should post pictures of your fancy hot-rod truck!

    Pacific Northwest Mavericks

    A grand hello from Eugene!
  4. Maverick reliability

    A year and a half! Hybrid shows a lifetime 43 MPG, real world is 41. Disappointed with the brake TSB not having any effect, and I also had the airbag recall attended to. Dealer called me when parts were available for both. It is a great vehicle, fun to drive (except when creeping to a...
  5. Dealer claims that Ford will not let them perform TSB 22-2493 unless they can reproduce

    FWIW, 22-2493 didn't do anything to fix the grabby brakes. I have found that using 'Normal' driving mode lessens the grabbiness, but it its still an issue. Very certain that the root of the issue is the handoff from regenerative braking to friction braking. @Ford Motor Company , you listening?
  6. A pleasant surprise and something positive

    It's one of the best features of the truck, honestly! Reacts very much like I would in similar situations. And, well, automatic headlights overall! I can ignore that dial entirely!
  7. Need some positive hybrid reports

    Took possession in January 2022 of my Hybrid XLT! A few long road trips with a couple oil changes along the way. It's mostly an in-town errand runner with 45mpg overall. Tried the grabby-brake TSB done, but that didn't seem to help. Aside from that, very happy with my purchase! Shout out to...
  8. Hybrid Owners: Have you had any issues that lead to warranty repairs?

    Recalls, yes. TSB for the brakes, yes, but I bet that becomes a recall, soon. Everything else, I've been very happy with this truck!
  9. Two thirds of truck owners don't tow, one third truck owners don't haul

    Fantastic for hauling stuff to dump/recycling/compost.
  10. Finally got it! Initial 4-hour drive home in Maverick XLT Hybrid review

    Sweet! Another Oregon hybrid! I've had mine since late January '22, and I am very pleased. Most of my driving is in Eugene, and off on secondary roads: I hit 40+mpg for most of my driving. You mileage will get better as the truck learns about you. Enjoy!
  11. It's not school bus yellow. IT'S NOT SCHOOL BUS YELLOW!!!

    I need to pose my truck like this! Great photos!
  12. SSM posted for Hybrid Maverick brake problem: Brakes Grab During Light Braking When Applied At OrBelow 6.2 Mph (10 Km/h) -- 10/21/22

    Yah, dealer told me "it's just how Mavericks work..." Le sigh. Will get this patch applied as soon as available!
  13. A Surprising And Enlightening Experience From First Maverick Road Trip

    Nice photos, and that looks like a fun trip! My experience shows a dramatic drop in MPG when you are pushing into 75-80 mph. The truck is a brick, after all! That being said, the hybrid truck is quite happy to keep up with the faster traffic, and still get 30+ MPG.
  14. Dirt Roads With Maverick Hybrid?

    Earlier this year, I took a long road trip that took in some improved dirt roads, and the Hybrid on stock Continentals handled just fine: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/eugene-to-escalante-and-back-back-roads-and-dirt-roads-a-hybrid-truck-trip.12322/ I've also been on forest...
  15. How long before full trust in a road trip?

    I took my hybrid on 2800+ mile roadtrip in the spring when the truck was only 1500 miles old. I didn't run into any problems on the whole trip, except disappointing mileage trying to do 80 mph into a heavy headwind across parts of Nevada. Enjoy your trip! But keep your cellphone charged?
  16. First check engine light, hybrid xlt

    I had some coolant smells in the cab after some driving in the hills: this was still in the 'break-in' period. Took it in to the dealer and they took a close look, didn't find anything. 2K more miles, and it hasn't happened since! Hopefully, it's a break-in glitch, and all is good!
  17. Eugene to Escalante and Back: Back Roads and Dirt Roads, A Hybrid Truck Trip

    Hey Captain, I don't have the truck hooked up to any services, if that is what you are asking. As for my phone plan, T-Mobile had me covered in most places, but when I got off the major roads, any signal evaporated. Plan accordingly!
  18. Eugene to Escalante and Back: Back Roads and Dirt Roads, A Hybrid Truck Trip

    Sorry for the late reply! Certainly, if you stay on the marked roads, you should be fine. Go slow, and understand it's not an all-terrain! Take water, food, and fuel, and travel with friends!
  19. Don't ruin it for the old guys!

    Almost five turns of the Dragon! I am still amazed with the back-up camera, and the auto-headlights!

    Top looks really nice! Does the color look like it matches when you are up close? Thank you for posting!
