  1. Red triangle with an “!” In the middle

    I think you can get the DTC's to show on the dash if you know the trick. Been a few years since I did it. You still will need look up what PC9027 means.
  2. Full pallet of solar panels 1,056 lbs

    I've had 1300 lbs in the bed several times actually. No issues except the headlamps need to be adjusted down if driving at night. Easy to do with one screw per side. In my case I drive loaded so often I leave my adjustment several degrees down full time, and drive with high beams full time on...
  3. Engine RPM at 70 mph for Hybrid

    It is not. LOL! 😂 There is only artificial noise when the engine is off. Kind of like a air conditioner hum. Hard to describe.
  4. Interstate driving with a 2024 Maverick Hybrid?

    "I ain't scared, Brakes are good, tires fair..." Hot Rod Lincoln
  5. HYBRID 12V Battery Mystery SOLVED

    Probably, almost certainly, yes. Hybrids are known to start perfectly; then not at all. There's usually no "hard to start" or "slow to start" conditions. The High Voltage 220 volt battery actually starts the engine. The lower voltage 12v battery only runs the computer and the relays to start...
  6. Surging when stopped. Anyone else?

    Try this to see if yours is "normal" or not. Typically the "surging" happens when you have a full battery and a cold engine. Do this: Drive the last mile or so before parking for the night in EV only. Use EV coach to help. Next day on a cold engine, startup and drive away in electric mode...
  7. How the eCVT in the Hybrid works

    It works very well, thank you very much.
  8. Symbol of a red triangle with an “!” In the middle of the triangle

    This is on the infotainment screen. So not engine or powertrain related. Probably means Taylor Swift just dropped a new album! But seriously this isn't serious and may not even set any codes on the OBDII. Is your CD jammed and won't eject? 😄 Also could mean a software update is available.
  9. More Math Mayhem

    I'm finding there are three data sets: short - medium - long. Short: your distance to empty calculation is only using about 150 miles of data. Medium: your MPG indicator with bar graph in the "star" menu... same menu that holds EV coach. This calculation only holds 5000 miles of data. Long...
  10. HYBRID 12V Battery Mystery SOLVED

    Gusstimate is 1:2 ratio. Run headlamps (or parking lamps) 1 hour for every 2 hours you run without. In other words, run them at least 50% of the time.
  11. Hybrid MPG gauge too high by 5.6%

    Above ground tanks seen in Alaska. And anywhere they are too lazy to dig. I think in the city they bury for lack of space. Temperature control is probably low on the priority list.
  12. Tested 87, 91 & 93 Octane.

    Yes. Subway has not had crab meat since about 2001.
  13. Gas deals?⛽️

    This thread was 2022.
  14. Ford: Here's How Long We Torture Test Our Trucks Before We Hand You the Keys

    Do you know what a bell-shaped-curve is? Basically, for every accidental "lemon" out there comes a really good one. For example, mine rattles like hell, but I get 54 mpg every day of the week. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  15. Ford Issues Do-Not-Drive Advisory for Certain 2021-2026 Maverick; Owners Urged to Contact Dealerships Immediately (June 1, 2026)

    4,653 vehicles. across 5 years and two platforms. A) that's a pretty specific number. B) how do they know that is the number C) how do they know which ones? It's as if they know it's only the days "Bob" was covering extra shifts for "Jose" over 5 years, and "Bob" did it wrong.
