Meeting with the Regional Rep was informative. He addressed all of the above and several other gripes which turned out to be user issues (for the most part).
One that is not a user information problem is "Rattles in the dash" (fixed for 2024 built after Jan 30). It is sourced to the tweeter grills. Easy user fix, two options. 1. Pop off the grill apply foam tape or a couple of small dabs of silicone rubber to the dash side . 2. Using a credit card or similar plastic tool, press a couple of small pieces of foam rubber into the gap between cover and the dash. May need to experiment with placement a few times but it works. No more rattles.

For Aufgeblassen, drop your left hand onto the plastic cover (shelf) attached to the left side of your seat. As you exit, put your weight onto your left hand, lift your derriere, and pivot out of the vehicle. It actually works better, and is easier, than doing a one-handed pull up, to pull your arse off the seat. Try it.

He acknowledged the universal Eco-mode complaint and said he believes they may be an update coming for that. I'll believe it when I see it.

Tailgates are not (car-wash) waterproof. This is not just a Maverick problem. All pickups/all brands have tailgate leaks regardless of factory or aftermarket covers, hard or soft. If its a deal breaker for you buy a van.. problem solved.

Brake Grab? This was chiefly a '22 problem. We have several 23's and 24's in our fleet. None have ever exhibited this issue. Stop griping and get the update. Easy fix.

What is update for brake grab?

Does anyone else have a problem with the driver seat creaking? It makes a lot of noise. Ford took it out, cleaned it up, greased it, but it's back creaking again with every bump in the road. Doesn't feel safe to me. Anyone else? 2024 Lariat hybrid.
