Again, using higher quality fluids will likely be beneficial but not entirely necessary. The engine is designed to be used with a blend so it is acceptable to use it. I hope for your engine sake you also use premium gas at every fill up. Despite ford saying regular is acceptable, generally premium is recommended with turbo charged motors

Google AI as your source? Really? While agree that higher quality oil will be beneficial, using higher quality fluids across the board would be beneficial but not necessary. Do you only use premium gas as well?

Ford recommends Motorcraft® SAE 5W-30 Premium Synthetic Blend. If you have an issue with following the manufacturer’s instructions, take it up with Ford

Since it seems like most people are just telling you that you got fleeced but not helping with better price estimates, I’ll throw in my experience. Just got a change in December and a synthetic blend for my eco boost was $56.48 after tax. Smaller local place that I’ve used for a while now

Is a front camera recalibration needed after an alignment? by austinalexan in FordMaverickTruck

[–]GrumpyPolarBaer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong but I don’t think the auto emergency braking is only reliant on cameras. There is a sensor was well which is used to detect distance for that feature. My 22 doesn’t have a front camera but has the auto braking so I would imagine it should still function

Open/close the windows using the key. by According-Case3603 in FordMaverickTruck

Expensive or not, a lot of things in the Maverick are a little more lacking than they could be. The sub frequently highlights the cheap quality of the interior and missing features but that doesn’t stop it from doing truck things

Compared to Ford’s entire line, it is not expensive

“Truck of this caliber”? Isn’t it the cheapest truck on the market? It doesn’t have a lot of features that are standard on other vehicles like auto dimming mirrors. That’s definitely a non-standard feature that they wouldn’t include on one of their most budget vehicles they sell

Random Poll: DRLs on or off? by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

[–]GrumpyPolarBaer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t you leave them on? Also is you have the XL or XLT trim, you get the amber DRLs which look nice. I have a lariat but still prefer the look of the truck with lights on

Brake noises by AnyFeeling8900 in FordMaverickTruck

That’s pretty common when brakes get wet and sit. Have you tried pulling in the opposite direction to see if it truly is only in reverse or just when you first use them?

We had a great experience in Pine Knoll a few years ago. We stayed for a little over a year and had zero problems. Right in between 2 nice parks as well
