2025 Lariat Maverick 1 week old problems

[Daveinva]

This means my baby truck can go 686 miles before it needs fuel! incredible.

Unfortunately, that is NOT what that means. The Mav's mileage computer is dynamic, and projects your range based on your driving style. Stay in electric mode plenty around town? Your miles to empty will go down slowly. Run around on the highway? Your miles to empty will go down quickly.

Furthermore, this dynamic calculation is dramatically skewed when there is a lack of data, like in the first days after a new owner picks up their truck (or after you jumpstart the car and reset everything, or after a Ford OTA patch, etc.-- in any of these instances, the truck starts all over again "predicting" your expected mileage).

Bottom line? I was just as excited as the OP in the first weeks after I got my truck, when it seemed like I'd be driving for 700-800+ miles on a tank; alas, as soon as the truck settled in, the numbers became far more realistic, I'm now seeing about 500+ projected on my full tanks (but, it will go up over time as your engine breaks in-- your best average MPG is yet to come, although with winter coming, might need to wait until spring to see it).

That said-- you *can* get some pretty awesome MPG trips in (although, I'll note, this is a 4 mile commute that took me close to 20 minutes, i.e. EVERYBODY saves gas when creeping over maddening D.C. bridge traffic...)

When I picked up mine, at least 30 minute demo from my salesman on how everything worked. My previous new car purchase before the Maverick, I received the same sort of demo upon delivery from the Kia dealership I purchased from. What can I say? Sounds like crappy customer service to me.

it was. Don't like this dealer

That’s really too bad. My Brother-inLaw used to own a Ford dealership in Alliance, Ohio and I witnessed a salesman almost get canned on the spot for trying to deliver a new car in a hurry (i.e skipping the introduction) and the car had a few rain spots. When Walley was done. I’ll bet that rep never tried to deliver another car without exoplaining EVERYTHING, down to how the cigarette lighter worked.

You probably drove right past the Medford, Oregon Costco, just off i5.. I filled up there today, $3.37. Probably could have made it to Elk Grove, California and back on a tank. But Gavin Newsom thanks you.

Grrrrrr.......sure did. Ca. has the stupid voters to thank for voting for that what, dollar a gallon increase to gix potholes in the roads. Ca. already gets far more money than any other state to fix potholes but they don't get fixed. Why would they when their elected representatives no the ca. voters won't remember and then they can stick them for another increase in a couple of years to fix the same thIng!

At least that dollar is (supposed) to fix the roads Here in IL, they just passed a 45 cents/toll increase to help fund mass transit in the Chicago area. So the people who are NOT using mass transit are helping pay for it. Go figure!

What's a cigarette lighter? I haven't seen one of those in a vehicle in years!

Just your elected representative looking out for their own pocket books. Like as not none will get used for what it is supposed to be used for unless a citizens group fires up and starts razing cane with the media

The lighter part is an option you can buy but the female part is standard on all vehicles i have seen. They are called power points.

The TPS monitor is in the Dash Push the Button above the Drive Modes on the steering wheel and toggle through down to the TPS under Vehicle Maintenance IIRC.

Thanks, I'll check it out. My last jeep when i complained about not finding something in the owners manual they sent me a 360 manual that covered everything. Wish Ford would do that. Loved that little Trailhawk.

$3.98 for regular at Costco? WOW! I bet you're glad you bought a hybrid, In Florida regular gas at Costco is $2.56 today. (11/7/25)

Buy name brand gas and its closer to $5.00 or a little more out here. And many years ago when we were running samples of gas collected from the pump at random locations all over we found no diference in the gas itself but the additive packages added by differnt brands were very different. Most of the issues we found were at off brand gas stations and fuel delivered by independant truckers and that was because there was no control at what they had carried before loading up with gasoline.
