  1. Police Edition Maverick spotted (Charlottesville PD)

    Well for the same reason they don't use Escapes or Bronco Sports. ⁹
  2. Are the headlights too bright?

    My 24 Lariat gets the same flashing at least once every night trip. I turned off the auto high beam option and only use my highbeams on vacant roads. I give a quick flash in those cases which usually satisfies them, and I'm ready for those who leave there brights on.

  12. ECO Mode ON/OFF experiment (with data) - Highway driving

  14. Scratched Interior Plastic
