I put down $50 to reserve a spot for a Slate purchase. Lots of good communication from the Slate people. However, the Slate could not be flat towed behind a motorhome. Too, more and more RV parks are restricting EV charging. So, forget about putting a Slate on a trailer behind your motorhome...

Wife's 2006 Porsche Carrera was the first year of no dip sticks for that brand.

I own a building that contains a national brand collision company. In a conversation with the manager, I was told that insurance companies are totaling cars with minimal damage!

Used my F-350 crew cab long bed to take my pontoon boat off the lake yesterday as the water level was dropping like a rock. No way could I use the all wheel drive Maverick as the ramp ended and I would have exposed the little truck to potential water damage. No way would the Maverick pull my...

At 85, I've had well over 100 cars pass through my garage. My '26 Lariat is a perfect daily driver and can be flat towed behind the motorhome. My concern really covers the entire auto industry and that's the dependence on software and computer chips. I own a commercial building housing a...

As a retired writer of things automotive, I recognize this piece as a space filler. No direct owner quotes nor any sales figures. Not worth the band width to link to it!

I used real aluminum pop rivets after the plastic rivets started to pull out..

Just dawned on me that my idea of "vintage" is the 1950's and 1960's. Probably era's long before most posters here were born!

I would seek advice from a shop that regularly installs flat towing equipment. There is a certain added value with that equipment when you go to sell it.

I'm using the Blue Ox base plate and tow bar on my 2026. Had an RVi3 that I.m using, but the RVi4 upgrades are better.

I had a Lincoln Navigator and put a 1949 Lincoln script emblem on the tailgate. Spent an hour plus getting the pin holes lined up perfectly.

There are only two choices for vintage wheel treatment and I doubt either are available for a Maverick. Red steel wheels with baby moon hubcaps would be my choice for a black truck. the other real deal would be Moon spun aluminum screw on discs and would look killer. Wheel offset is such that...

I have a different take. Somebody posted a thread about towing a pontoon boat with a Maverick. I question the possibility of water damage (especially in salt water) with the low ball height. Something to think about. PS..I use jacked up F-350 to launch my pontoon boat.

2026 Lariat hybrid with Blue Ox flat tow set up for 2026 Thor Palazzo

I bought a manual for my 2026 for $60. Worth it.
