You are correct! I do not used the Maverick as a truck. It’s great that this one vehicle can be a hauler, off-roader, commuter, sports truck, cruiser, work truck, etc.
My particular use may justify AAA to deal with a flat :teehee:
I used to desire a conventional spare, then I realized only 30 minutes of my entire life was on one of those tires. I want my correct wheel back ASAP! The compact should weigh less per hybrid thinking. At least Ford hasn’t put a can of fix-a-flat in to replace the tire as my daughter’s “loaded”...
Since all the owners here have not had this issue and are offering good possibilities…looks like a job for a ford dealer as Andy @SafetyGuy suggests. (and subsequent results for the

My future 1st wife bought a new 1980 Toyota pickup too. It came pre-rusted around the bed. Ran it over a railroad crossing and the suspension lost pieces. It continued to run until it wouldn’t pass inspection a few years later. Their rust issues also made it to a segment of 60 Minutes at the...

And another thing… just charge me $4 for a gallon of gas…...
Maybe there’s a sweet spot with the temperature. Another Caribbean amphibian here but highs are between 88f and 92f year round (seasons, I miss seasons).
My Atkinson with Hybrid has given me almost 12k of 45.2mpg. Tires at 36psi.
