You don't want to buy an unsolicited Cray from my buddy Tony?

""Ford CEO Says Transportation Secretary Had ‘Basic Misunderstandings’ in Letter - Exchange shows how politically sensitive the question of Chinese automakers breaking into the U.S. has become" "Ford Motor Chief Executive Jim Farley strongly rejected claims from Transportation Secretary Sean...

I am hoping the bed dimensions match the Maverick. So many of us have Maverick sized tonneau covers, bed rails, ladder racks, etc... It would be a shame if they changed the bed dimensions by an inch or two, requiring aftermarket companies to design, produce, and then sell all this stuff just...

The same concept has been done by some of us with our tiny little Maverick Hybrids and we see the same "sips gas and only turns on the ICE occasionally" scenario. We made our own ProPower Onboard by installing 2,000W inverters attached to our 12v batteries under the back seat. Check out...

Do you have a hybrid? Your Maverick could do one-pedal, if you try hard enough. I have a 2025 hybrid and I am one-pedal for probably 75% of my driving. I only brake when absolutely necessary and otherwise just use the gas to control things.

Yikes. I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do to gain access. But being on fire and then having an axe to the side of my face would be unpleasant. ;)

If I am unconscious or "out of it", then my door handles working (from the inside) don't matter. From the interior occupant perspective. The first responders certainly have these types of glass breakers/seatbelt cutters (I've seen them clipped to many police officer's vests), so I am not...

Not that I am justifying Tesla here, but this is why everyone should have an emergency glass breaker/seat belt cutter in their glovebox. Preferably multiple, keeping one in the drivers door pocket as well. Or strapped to a sun visor.

Ask forgiveness rather than permission. ;)

Not just EVs. The Maverick (I know, I know, I am a broken record who just keeps yelling MAVERICK), moved to an AGM battery after there WERE some drain and deep sleep issues. It seems to have solved all the complaints. There are many ways to skin a cat. Another is to hack a bit and up the...

:) That is the hope. My hope is whatever there is (if there even is anything), it is covered under the HV battery warranty mandated by the feds (not by Ford).

I would hope it is somehow lumped in with the EV battery warranty, which if I recall, will be federally required to be at least 8 years or 100k miles? I think in CA it is 10 years and 150k miles. But I doubt it will happen. :(

You are going to hate this place for the next few months. I mean that in the nicest way possible. If it is anything like the Maverick announcement in Summer of 2021, 98% of the posts and comments on here are going to be wild speculation and people pulling crap out of thin air. For probably...

You asked a question and I provided a possible and completely valid answer. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it any less of an option. You do realize that nobody here can answer your questions with certainty (yet), right? This is a vehicle built on a totally new platform and not...

Memory that does not need a power supply to keep its data is called non-volatile memory. When you turn off your device, this type of memory saves the information safely until you turn the power back on. This tech has been around since the 1960's.

Replied. Let me know if you have any other questions! They are a well oiled machine over there when it comes to out of state sales, so there is probably no scenario with an out of state buyer they have not seen before.

Do it. 100%. I have done the drive back to Seattle from Salina twice with my Maverick(s). They will pick you up from the airport, drive you to the dealership, and take care of you. For me, one time I did all the paperwork once I was there, the other time I did all the financing a day or two...

Right, but any USB adapter (shoved in a round cigarette lighter port for example) would internally buck or boost from the source voltage to the ~5V. Same way a 120v outlet in the truck would buck down to ~5v (and convert to DC from AC) via the charging block plugged into the 120V. So 48v with...

No offense taken at all. I have a really suspicious nature in general, so I would be saying "source?" if I were you. My wife hates it. In this case, it is one of those "The source sometimes reveals things to certain people, but won't ever publicly say anything about it until SOMEONE ELSE...

Yep. Welcome to the next 6-12 months here on the forum. But like I said, no worries if folks don't believe me. I am confident in my source and will be proven right soon. I'm not posting secrets unprompted, but will reply to others who bring things up if I know something about it. ;) It is...
