LOL well I do want to lock it when I leave it...there is thatOr
or, I could key my key fob in a lockbox in the truck, use my door press buttons to open the Maverick and press the button to start and go. I’ll always know where my fob is and I don’t have to put the key in. Win-win?
That's why lock it with the keypad. The keypad knows if you use it to lock the truck with the key inside and will only unlock with the keypad.LOL well I do want to lock it when I leave it...there is that
Still waiting on delivery here, but I just know that having to reset to eco mode each time I start the truck is gonna get old real fast. I bought the Maverick primarily because I wanted to max the MPG. It's disappointing that Ford didn't figure out what a PITA resetting modes at each start up was gonna be for some buyers.
Well having had a 2008 Prius and a 2012 Prius and a 2017 Ioniq all I can say about eco mode is it sucks! I have never driven a Maverick so it may be much different, in my 08 the car drove well..fast forward and Toyota is trying to squeeze a few more mpg out of the car and now it defaults to eco…yuck! Drove like a dog. I had to put the car in sport mode just to keep up, maybe Fords settings are better, and maybe you guys that want that can use Forscan to make that change. Here‘s hoping we all get what we want! Lol At this point I would almost take a bright pink Maverick just to have one! haha
I wonder if there is an aftermarket opportunity for a hydraulic finger to push the eco button that is activated by oil pressure every time you start the engine?
Having had a Prius, this Eco mode is much better. The big difference I have noticed is that when you take your foot off the gas the car definitely slows down much faster than when in normal. The regen must be much stronger in eco mode.
No doubt winter tires help tremendously. As far as better than awd with all seasons don't think so. I had a fwd VW Passat with dedicated new snow tires on rims. Much better but not as good as my Acura AWD RDX with all season tires. Maybe depends on the vehicle.
I don't mind that I have to select default mode. I had to in my previous car. I figure it takes just a few seconds longer than pushing the button on the keyfob to get the key sticking out and insert and start the Maverick than it does to press Mode 4 times, press brake off button and select a R or D. Afterall your hand has to go in the vicinity anyway. I timed it at about 7 seconds. I would rather spend the time doing it than have to ad on an external oil line and a finger. And Yes, I know now days it's easy to get the finger.
The parking brake will go off if you push on the gas. The truck will move with some hesitation and the park brake will go off. I choose NOT to have that be forced off but instead turn it off with my finger (I did that with my Volt so used to it). "BRAKE" is lit up at bottom of speedometer if on. I have never noticed it turning off if I put it in gear.
500 Miles in, 0 optioned XLT. The truck is everything I expected and more, From all the YouTube content there is nothing I have been disappointed about. It just keeps getting better and better every day. Since there isnt much to whine about ill just talk about my few gripes. The sound system is ABSOLUTLEY TERRIBLE. however nothing $150.00 worth of speakers cant fix. Iv owned only base models my whole life and this is by far the worst. Not having defrost for the mirrors or rear windows is a minor inconvenience. And lastly I wish there was a better display for the hybrid system and the battery charge with the non sync 3 system. I have never test driven any new car I've owned, and this is the only one that exceeded my expectations.
