Considering a Maverick EB, used or maybe new, what to look out for

Here is the reason to buy a Mav:

Everything else is just noise.
Oh pick a Lariat.
:’p

Watch for rear glass

Watch for rear glass

If you zoom in no stump is fully above the bed top. I can stop hard if need be.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about the truck, not the eco boost engine.

What happened to your old Escape ? Down for the count ?

Oh it’s still here, it’s my golf cart, not street safe anymore.
Serious frame rust over the right rear shock tower.
I needed to replace the inner and outer tie rods, front ends getting too loose.
I bought the parts, $150

My honest wrench saw the frame rusting out and did not start the job. I got a refund on the parts.

I’ll scrap it for about $300 when I can get to it.

Ford had a reinforcement fix a long time ago but I’ve got too much rust. Nothing to bolt up to.

That's what happened to my 2005. But I'm not complaining too much because it took me 340K miles. What was a little disheartening was that I had to throw a lot of parts at it over time to keep it running. 3 Alt, 1 starter, trans rebuild at 140K and much more. It seemed like it was in the shop way too often. Should have bought a Toyota Highlander.

My 2004 Escape’ AWD Platinum, OoooooOoo~
Had it seven years. As my back up bad weather beater.
Bought with 192,000 miles on the clock for $1,000 cash today 229,000
One coil pack,
One brake job,
Wipers,
A battery,
Tires,
Two motor mounts.
That’s it, cheapest POS I’ve ever owned.
I’ll miss it.
