I would like some clarification. Can the XLT Hybrid use Ford Pass to remote start? Or is it the Lux model? I would love to schedule remote starts when my Maverick arrives.

As was said, Ford Pass and its remote lock/unlock/start features are all standard across all Ford models, no charge.

There is not a scheduling feature in the app, though I believe I have read that it can be setup through amazon alexa/google automation functionality.

The XLT Lux and Lariat have key fob remote start as well.

Paul actually there is a scheduling feature in the Ford Pass App that allows you to schedule the start time (again, this is available for all trim packages as it is through the app). You have to go to Vehicle -> Scheduled Start. It's one over from the home screen and next to vehicle status on the right. You can set up scheduled start from there.

Just purchased a Lariat Maverick. It has ford pass remote start. Can I upgrade the key fob that would have remote start button?

I used the remote start several times yesterday. The second time, I could not start the truck remotely because I got the HillAssist Problem warning. Just a glitch I suspect, but could not remotely start the truck until I cleared the warning in the FordPass app.

I wish it would start within a few seconds rather than up to 30 seconds.
AND, given it is an app, I assume it works via app to tower to Maverick and back.
Or, does it link directly to your Maverick like a FOB?

Interesting you have a lot more options in your FordPass. I only have status and safety&security.

It's over the internet which is how you can use it from anywhere with an internet connection, even far away from the vehicle. The request has to go from your phone to Ford's data center (likely in Dearborn), then out to the vehicle via AT&T LTE.

Ford Pass remote start works perfectly on my XLT with Lux, but the key fob remote start is hit or miss. Probably works less than half the time, and when it does, you have to be very close to truck. Any suggestions regarding the key fob remote start?

I know this sounds crazy but when I put the remote under my chin and remote start I get a lot more distance from the vehicle. Other than that I have no suggestions.
