What most folks do not realize about Texas heat is that even if you buy a Maverick without the LUX package, you still get a HEATED STEERING WHEEL - problem is that it is the wrong time of the year LOL.So its 100°F in west Texas today. I had to hit walmart and Sam's for some food provisions. I keep a bath towel folded on the back seat drivers side. Anyhoo when I went to Sam's club, I set the perishables on my back seat on the bath towel for the ride home. When I hit walmart a found a nice folding flat milk crate type of thing made from hard plastic for $14. I put my perishables in that and set it on the back seat. The non perishable items went in the bed net under the bed cover. I also have a smaller light grey bathroom towel I keep folded on the center console lid and cover up my steering wheel when I park in the sun otherwise the steering wheel gets blindingly hot. The plus is 2 of these will fit sideways in the bed if you have the 2x6 put down in the bed slot.
Yup unfortunately it's TRUE !!
We live in the mountains of TN so we do get some cold days during the winter. That heated steering wheel is amazing; never had one on our previous vehicles. The wife prefers the heated seats but give me that steering wheel any day.
Just opposite on my end. My wife loves the heated steering wheel and I like it, but like the bun warmers even better. What part of the beautiful state of TN are you in? Go to the Smokies often and it is gorgeous country.
We live in the Cumberland Mtns on the Plateau. About two hours away to the west from Gatlinburg and their entry to the Smoky Mtns. Moved here 13 years ago from Upstate NY, where we had the Adirondacks and the Catskills. Similar look in many ways but TN is a much, much better state for a lot of reasons. This year the tourists in the Smokies and the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville run are huge. We go over there a number of times during the summer and Fall for a few days at a time; it is great fun but the crowds are something until all the kids are back in school.
Sounds like you may be near Crossville. We visited there and Clarkrange last year. Visited Rugby on the way home. Lots to appreciate with that little English pattern town. Loved it. As soon as I get my Maverick (18 months and waiting), I plan on putting that 40 mpg to work and visiting Knoxville and the smokies. I am in west-central Ohio.
