And to that point I know plenty of guys that don't consider the Maverick a proper man's truck...lol These are men over the age of 40. I figure if you were 25 or under maybe you would think that... I have an Infiniti G35 coupe with a 6 speed and sport package I might be selling and actually...

Exactly, last Halloween my wife made up T-shirts for us where I was the grammar police and she was the fun police but she put "no fun police" on her shirt. So before we even got to the party I had to solidify my role by telling her the correct term is 'fun police' as you're not policing no fun...

Yes it is possible they could care less although I would argue the vast, vast majority of the time they're expressing a lack of concern. The phrase "I could care less" implies they care. Whereas the phrase "I couldn't care less" implies they care absolutely not at all....

I'm sorry but I was the grammar police for Halloween last year. I think you mean "we knew the quality of ford, and COULDN'T care less"....

It's weird I see the Santa Cruz as actually more stylish and theoretically better looking but it doesn't appeal to me. The Maverick is more of a box but I like the simplicity of it

Or, as I was going to say, makes you wonder what they cheap out on that you can't see

Probably one of those things where once you get used to it one way the other way ( shift searching) becomes more noticeable

I'm leaning towards the XLT hybrid AWD. I'd like a power drivers seat but never really desired dual zone climate control. Wife has it in her car and I use it occasionally but the Maverick has a much smaller cabin.

I agree tires are more important. Braking and turning are important but getting moving in the first place matters as well. So an AWD maverick with some weight in the back won't handle snow better than a FWD with the same tires?

What bill of goods? AWD also gets the power down better. I get it regarding tires but AWD with decent m+s can do as well as fwd with winter tires . A chunk of the savings not getting AWD is spent getting separate rims and tires. Then you have to store them. Also in the case of the Maverick you...

My mechanic friend claims the EB fords have thin cylinder walls

That's why I'm leaning towards a 2025 hybrid AWD. I know it won't have the power of the 2.0 bit the handling and ride will be better than the fwd.

Chevy is GM so you should change it to "A GM or Dodge ".....

I'll take your word on that but that doesn't make it ok

I get that but that's also a little bit of an excuse. Even a cheap vehicle that they're making money on should have a battery that functions. I don't know I confess I haven't had an American car in a long time just Japanese and German so maybe that's part of it?

I would argue that you are correct in your situation and also overall in regard to their poor quality work but everyone's commute is different. I live near pretty much every brand of car dealer you can name and I have the luxury of being able to drop my car off there early in the morning while...

I also think it makes it a lot more difficult to meet emissions standards. But yes most people don't want them these days. One of my cars is a manual and it is a lot more fun to drive but I would not want to drive it and stop and go traffic on a daily basis

Who missed your point? I largely agree but voice to text is LESS distracting but not zero. Lighting a cigarette is distracting, changing radio stations, talking to the person next to you ( remember your point that the conversation itself is the distraction?) so a bubble of silence?

How do you really feel about it? I'm glad they put a bigger screen in but didn't need to be that big and getting rid of manual HVAC controls is a negative

So no Google maps? We should probably remove all the radios as well.
