I wish I only had to pay 6.25% tax.
Where I live (Quebec) there is a 5% federal tax and a 9.5% provincial tax calculated on total of the truck price and federal tax.
It works out to 14.975%.
On a $50k truck the tax is very close to $7500.😡
When Ford announced the Maverick Lobo, I thought I'd be interesting to look at when I need something newer.
Last year my sister's car died and she needed something asap.
I stopped in the local Ford store to look for something used for her and in the showroom was a Lobo.
Then the little gears in...
2025 Lobo, 2084km (1288 miles).
The trailer hitch recall is the only issue.
It has been in storage since last November. It will be back on the road next week.
I see at least 1 a day on my commute.
I have seen 1 Tremor but haven't seen another Lobo.
The local dealer has 5 or 6 Mavericks sitting out front.
The XL starts at $38K in Canada.

Leveled and raised are also cool.
Have you spoken with your pharmacy about your "PMSL" issue? Perhaps they can recommend a good quality pantie liner. Lol

At the time, if I had ordered the truck, I would have ordered the optional wheels.
It took about a month for the wheels to grow on me. They really do have a cool factor. 😎
Some insurance companies own a recycle (scrap) yard or are involved with the recycle industry.
How much do you think they will make by selling the truck in pieces?
The shank of the stock bolts are splined. The splines bite into the knuckle. They have to be hammered to remove them.
Be sure to leave them a little loose so as not to pinch the strut when adjusting the upper camber bolts.
What did you use for deadener?
I also covered the outer sides of the plastic storage bin with 4mm foam.
I noticed a difference with every area I covered.
The "fog lights" are a misnomer. They are actually driving lights. They widen the light beam when driving with the low beams.
They work well on a narrow back road with minimal lighting.
They turn off when the high beams are in use.
I replaced a 2018 Fusion Titanium with my 2025 Lobo. I had many people comment on how quiet the Fusion was at highway speeds.
The Lobo is noticeably louder.
I went around the Maverick knocking on the body panels. The fenders, rear doors and tailgate almost ring when knocked. Knocking in the...
