Had put money down on an incoming unit with a delivery date, sold my driver. Delivery got moved back a month, I understand how things change these days. When it finally came in 6 weeks later, I scheduled a time to purchase early on a Saturday, everything was good to go! Showed up found the salesman he said we had to grab something quick then he had a problem, couldn’t sell it, it was recalled figured it would be April before it could be sold. Not Happy!
That stinks, gas tank recall? I received a letter that mine had the recall but it's ok to drive as long as there is no fuel odor. Haven't noticed any in 6k miles so far so I'm good there for now!
I might be wrong but all the instances of the smelly catalytic converter were remote starts via the app. Maybe just stick to the key fob?
We picked up our truck yesterday…we absolutely LOVE it so far. My question for you Minnesotans is have any of you experienced the burning smell and glowing hot catalytic converter? We haven’t remote started it yet but I’m nervous about that since the high temperatures are going to be in the single digits next week and we will want to remote start it. Thanks!!
Congratulations! Happy to hear you love the Maverick just as much as we do. Enjoy the new ride.

QUOTE from Vicious007:
Also it seem weird to me to remote start a hybrid. I guess I have it easy to park in a garage "non-heated" but I feel like I will just get it when its cold, the ICE engine will start up and off I go on electric power etc.....

SORRY, I’ve never owned a hybrid before and it’s below zero for days on end here in Bemidji and we only have a one car garage
Yeah, remote start for me isn't about the engine. It's about putting my kid in ice cold car seat in a sub zero car that won't get warm till after we get to daycare.
?Here are the specs and price from Granger.
That is going to be a very tough find - the wheel on the right was the optional FX4 wheel - meaning someone paid extra for them (the standard FX4 is the blackout wheel). I doubt they are going to trade down to the standard xlt wheel when they chose the upgraded option. GL though, never know!My Velocity Blue hybrid Maverick has been shipped. Should have it in about three weeks. Reading the forums I find that the XLT wheels are very popular. I’m posting this to the Minnesota group first before going to a wider audience. I would like to swap with someone who has or will have 17” FX4 wheels (see the photo, mine are on the left, yours are on the right). Must be perfect and include tpms sensors, no road rash or filth please. I’m taking mine off immediately and replacing with Enkei wheels and Michelins, so my wheels will be almost new. If I don’t get any takers, the XLT wheels will be my winter wheels, so I’m willing to wait for someone who’s delivery is later, up to the end of October (we all know what can happen after that).
yeah I was just up there last weekend! -22F!
