Ford can remove the Auto Start/Stop at the factory?

[Dallas Maverick]

I saw this on a F-150 window sticker I was looking at. $50 to remove the Auto Start/stop.

Any ideas?

Because of the chip shortage, they started optionally allowing auto-start stop to be removed on some vehicles (starting w/ F-150). A few months later, auto start-stop removal is mandatory in order to get most vehicles scheduled.
It is a $50 credit for the removal.

Ford has not offered the auto-start stop removal for Maverick. They probably won't (and if they did, it would obviously only apply to EcoBoost).

They did just update the 22 Maverick order guide yesterday, "wi-fi hotspot removal" is now required on all Mavericks.

Man, that's rough....
Where can I find a copy of the latest maverick order guide?

I'm not sure if it has been updated online. I work @ a dealership, so I can look at the order guides directly from Ford/check WBDO myself.

These aren't available publicly.

Somewhat related to this topic...still waiting on the truck so I haven't seen an owner's manual...can auto stop-start be temporarily disabled by dashboard controls?

Yeah, there's a button in the console. Which I forget to hit half the time.

Not that big a deal. If it stops just apply a bit of pressure to the steering wheel and it starts right up again.

OP has a hybrid. The auto stop/start for hybrids is completely different than EB.

Best news I've heard all week. One less way for Ford to collect data on you, because what this means is no built in LTE radio.

In addition to what canon said, you can put it in sport mode which auto disables it

I think it will still have lte lol otherwise you can’t use fordpass. Hotspot is not the same thing.

Meh, too bad. Still don't see the point of the app, other than a way for Ford to collect data on you to sell to the highest bidder.

What data are they collecting on you that they don't already have? The app is quite useful.

The LTE allows them to know the location of your vehicle 24/7. Need I say more?
