The Prinsu rack is all aluminum - the sides are laser cut and the crossbars are 10 series 80/20 style aluminum extrusions. I had my Subaru rack through three PA winters with road salt/brine and it was still corrosion free. Can definitely vouch for the quality, but yeah 900 bones is nothing to...
Very nice! 👌 I had a Prinsu rack on my Subaru that required drilling the roof - it took two applications of silicone around the holes for me to completely seal the holes. You're right though, bolt-on is superior if you can stomach the install.
Sweet rally setup on those bikes btw.
It's my understanding that the ACC and pre-collision assist work off the same sensor in the grill of the truck. If that's not dirty and/or otherwise not blocked, it would certainly seem that there could be an issue with the sensor. I would maybe seek a second professional opinion.
I get...
Removing the wheels would aid in attaining complete coverage, but if following the application instructions for this particular product, contaminating surfaces should be a non-issue. Rather than spray-on/wipe-off, this is wipe-on/wipe-off. It's meant to be sprayed on an applicator like a pad...
No 2-4 year old car with 60-100k miles is going to "hold its value", relative to any comparable age vehicle with average mileage (20-30k). Age, mileage, and condition are the factors that determine the value of a used vehicle. If one of those factors is outside the "normal" range on the...
Buying a fully optioned entry-level vehicle does not make it a luxury vehicle. Also, it's a wannabe truck, so some of the manufacturing costs will have gone into capacity and capability at the sacrifice of interior finish. At $39k-ish a loaded Lariat is still well below the price of an average...
You posted a picture of a scale model of a truck and trailer with a skidsteer loaded as an illustration for your post about towing capacity. So, who's credible?
Just because you and some others on the internet are comfortable exceeding the recommended towing capabilities of your Maverick...
If you don't think you can afford the truck, then how could you afford gambling on buying it and hoping to resell it at a profit? The market has changed vastly and there is no situation in which accepting delivery and trying to offload it will end with a net benefit for you. You're not missing...
No. Tying to fixed points is safe; like the tiedown loops in the bed, loops on the tailgate, onto the bedrail, etc. I'm assuming OP just had the slack from the strap tucked in the handle temporarily.
@Binjobbed technically your family was right! It definitely didn't fit! But that doesn't...
This philosophy might be a bit extreme, but I'm closer to this guy with my thinking than "will my Maverick be as collectible as a rare pony car guy". There are plenty of fantastic, desirable, collectible cars being made today - most of them are not American - and NONE of them are in the price...
Looks fun and kudos to you for posting a video on a forum that could only end up being armchair quarterbacked!
I'd echo the sentiments that, in general, a computer controlled AWD system is inferior to a mechanical one in these situations. Unfortunately, the computer needs data (ie. spinning...
Honestly, yes - it's more of an unpaved track than a "trail" per se, especially the switchback part, which is essentially a dirt road. It's also relatively flat (switchbacks aside), dry, and not technical, so clearance shouldn't be an issue. There is oodles of YouTube footage to give you an...
