He says my Maverick is a perfect geezer ride for me because if I don’t put the park break on or put the transmission in park before shutting the engine off, it will do it for me. He also says it tries to keep me in my lane when driving. I agree with him. I like all the tech now days.

My son is in college and drives the 2024 Escape S-Line Plus we bought him. It has the same tech I have, and more. His ride is really loaded compared to mine.

We both enjoy all the tech, heated seats, heated steering wheel and heated side mirrors. He has dual zone automatic climate control where I have single zone automatic climate control. Both of our vehicles are AWD too, which is nice. I wish my cruise control was as elaborate as his. Paces traffic, does speed limit sign stuff, and actually drives if you let it. Does a good job too.

🙂👍
Sounds like you need to trade for a Lariat!

Does His Escape have the 2.0 EB like Your Maverick or the 1.5 EB 3 cylinder?

Your son is 100% right! A fully loaded Lariat, with all the safety features is exactly what us old geezers need. We want a truck that is small enough to park, and drive, has good visibility, and does most of the driving! I'm 85, and the ACC cruise control is the greatest thing on the interstate highways.

This makes me wonder at what age someone becomes a "geezer". I have an idea it's kind of like how "old" is always older than the person applying it to someone else!

I am a geezer, too. I have the Lariat and love the ACC, but no lane centering for me! I fight those things all the time. I drive too close to the right side of the road and it tries to force me to the middle. I can't overcome 59 years of driving and I would rather drive myself!

I would imagine, it would be up to personal interpretation of the word and it's relationship to a particular age.
Anything stated is going to have a incredible amount of conflicting opinions.
A can of worms best left sealed.

I guess it depends on how old one feels. We used to try to talk my dad to move into a retirement community. He said he did not want to be around old farts. Me, I am just an old fart.

Yeah I think geezership is relative. If you go to the pubs and clubs of the youngest crowd, you are a geezer at 30, if you go to the locals bar, you are probably still the kid until you're 50.
