Thanks! I almost posted the picture of myself with the dog that adopted me two weeks ago. However, I was afraid I might come in second if the two of us were compared!!
It appears I made a bad ASSumption. Tremor EBs have a beefed-up CV axle. Seems there is confusion on the Lobo and the other EB models. I cannot confirm with complete certainty; anyone else have yea or nay info.?????
I do believe it is nay for regular EB cannot speak to lobo.
Gets some quotes from Carvana, Kelly Blue Book, etc - and print out the highest quote you can get. Use that number for your OTD calculations. If they refuse - you can walk away. At least a little until they chase you

That was a good deal, I thought I did good. Went from a 22 eco AWD Lariat lux 40K miles to a new 24 Hybrid lariat equipped identical other than different engine $8300.
My first Maverick was a Tremor in Avalanche Gray and it was quite easy to keep clean but the Eruption Green is not. I convince myself it doesn't look that bad until I wash it and then I'm like oh yeah that is awful!
That's one of the things I like about Space White, it's easy to keep clean.
My '25 is Oxford White (aka Brilliant White), and when it starts getting dirty, it resembles Space White (a little duller than OW); so it ALWAYS looks clean...just a different color!
Contrary to what would seem intuitive, white doesn't show dirt as bad as dark colors do. My '22 Cyber Orange didn't show dirt much either.
As mentioned in a past post, I sold my CG Lariat. I really loved the truck but decided it made financial sense to upgrade. My thoughts after 30k miles on the CG vs 1700 on the RR XLT.
Color.
I like both colors. The CG was more sedate, and the RR is flashier. Keeping them looking clean is two different worlds!!!! I have about 3/4 of a mile of gravel to get to paved roads. I could go months with the CG and only noted the dust on the black side trim. Also did not notice bugs as quickly. Could go two months without washing and it still looked good. RR not so much. Dust and bugs show quickly. I have my own well with hard water; RR must be quickly hand dried before ugly water spots show up.
Pros for 2022.
1. Controls much easier to use without distracting from driving. Controls on the screen in the 25 suck. I am just trying to get Alexa figured out on the RR so I can at least give some verbal commands.
2. Much Quieter both at initial startup and on the road. Could be both the acoustic windshield on the Lariat and the Michelin vs Continental tires. Startup noise per other threads is due to engine and exhaust system changes for emission control. Quiets down after gear is engaged. Road noise is more tires than windshield or differences in insulation, it seems to me.
3. Gas mileage. MSRP sticker says a difference of 1 mpg. So far, I am seeing about 2.5 mpg less with the 25 with same driving habits. My usual 500 miles per tank is no longer. 22 did not have AWD.
4. Paint was good on the 22. Only had one small chip when I sold it. Jury still out on the 25. With the metallic and clear coat on the RR, do I forgo clay bar, etc. for a while???
5. Tach scale was usable. 25 Tach is totally worthless.
Pros for 2025.
1. New warranty.
2. New heavier axles.
3. Synch 4 and radio is beyond just better!!
4. Larger screen is good.
5. New engine with some port injection.
6. Tailgate lock
General Comments.
2025 tailgate has the one cable longer than the other cable problem. This horse was beaten severely in 22. The cables on my 22 were good. Four production cycles and now I see the problem. Not a big deal, but disappointing that something this simple is still showing up.
Overall, I am happy with the switch, but mostly because I got the new one for 4500 dollars more than what I got for the 22. If the difference would have been 7 or 8k, I would still have the 22 and would still be happy. Both are nice trucks with some bang for the buck, IMHO.
Note I put the text before the pictures. This is because I remember that we all bought Playboy for the stories, not the pictures!!
RR would probably look better in the pictures if in full sun, but photography was never one of talents. After this post, I will now be changing my forum name from CG All the Way to RR All the Way................
