  1. EPA uses E0 gas for testing

    Maybe this is a state by state thing but I can buy zero ethanol fuel here in Georgia just to address a couple rules for thee and not for me comments. Additionally worth mentioning I think that it is probably easier to just have 1 fuel type and you're basically guaranteed to only need one fuel...
  2. Roll N Lock retractable bed cover installed

    Just going by pictures alone I think the retrax looks much larger.
  3. What a screwed-up system!

    I thought I was a young guy but apparently everyone here is 2 years old. Do you guys have zero memory of any auto regulation? Do you think we just magically made up some arbitrary rules one day after Ralph Nader wrote a fiction novel? Corvair safety? Takata airbags? VW cheating Diesel...
  4. Thinking of dropping CP360 CoPilot

    Sadly Lariat does not get you ACC, that was like the one feature I really wanted but I can't justify getting the Lariat Lux package.
  5. Thinking of dropping CP360 CoPilot

    And really I don't have a beef with someone that says hey I don't really drive on the highway often so blindspot monitoring/lane assist isn't as useful for me. I have a beef with someone saying its a rip off and what a waste of money and it does nothing etc (especially when it comes to...
  6. Thinking of dropping CP360 CoPilot

    I can't fathom a world in which we are trying to save $500 on features that may drastically change your life. I could mention a few other things on here that I've seen being regarded as "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" whilst we complain about big brother...
  7. Any other Subaru Owners That Are Interested in the Maverick?

    My 2 cents: If you have a suitable car now, just wait for something more capable to get released. With all the interest in the Maverick including in the aftermarket I think it would be wise to wait and see if a Tremor/Rattler or whatever comes out. The FX4 Mav is surprisingly pretty capable but...
  8. Mobile HAM radio installed - Writeup & DIY

    I could cry When I got my first car I installed a really great stereo as a teenager does. Imagine my surprise when it is actually pretty easy EXCEPT FOR THE FREAKIN FIREWALL. I thought they couldn't use grommets for some safety/regulation reasoning but it turns out that nope, carmakers just...
  9. Market adjustment kept me from buying

    Yes? Hence my confusion because taxes/destination are all known quantities and have little to nothing to do with the dealer. Also let's be honest "almost $10k" is including $4,000 in options at least with the fx4 package/ecoboost. Personally yeah I agree with the general premise that the MSRP...
  10. Factory cruise control enabled on XL with Forscan and Escape steering wheel

    Aftermarket cruise? Not my favorite idea. If I had any confidence that cruise could be enabled via Forscan and knew more about it I would've considered the XL honestly. XLT wasn't terribly motivating to me but XL vs Lariat is a lot tougher to decide when you've got essentially factory cruise. I...
  11. Market adjustment kept me from buying

    I'm super confused, is it market adjustment or is it out the door cost? You mentioned that its a huge markup with destination and taxes but those things aren't markups.
  12. Finance or Lease your Maverick?

    A few things for people that might pass by this post: 1) Financing isn't a bad thing, work out the math for how much return you could get from investing in an index fund for a short period of time vs how much the financing costs you, spoiler alert: when debt is cheap you should always finance...
  13. Dumbest review of the day from Motorious.com

    Just super out of touch unfortunately and they probably wanted to get an edgy headline to get people interested. 90% of the review is just "oops I didn't know that" This isn't what cancelling is lol.
  14. Pro Power Onboard Generator Like Feature Being Considered as Future Ford Maverick Function

    That's interesting, if they manage to do more than 25 miles I might be interested in a PHEV. I think the prius/rav4 prime are the best freaking vehicles on the road but they cost way too much for the relatively paltry range. Looking forward to seeing how the lightning shakes things up as it'll...
  15. MRT Hood Struts installed

    Another thread another endless stream of debating the morality of the product lol! Less than $200? Convenient to the point where i can forget about it? Sounds fine to me As jer above says, it is an inelastic price but let's also be real and point out that a somewhat limited run item isn't...
  16. Added some color to gray Maverick w/ orange grill accent bar, Ford emblem and tailgate letters

    I like that a lot more than the body matched ones to be honest
  17. Anyone used a bed tent before?

    One of my first thoughts was just adding a V to the back of a camper to give you some feetroom but I ended up pursuing another route.
  18. 2023 Maverick ordering begins August 16, 2022; production begins October 24, 2022

    I agree, if I were a sales guy I would be way more on top of it. That said my salesman was a retiree who sells cars in his spare time. I try to be more lenient with folks even though I'd act differently myself, I can understand old school guys doing old school stuff.
  19. Anyone used a bed tent before?

    My initial interest was just a quick portable camp, I have a very nice tent already that I can setup in about 5-7 minutes or so but then I need to clear out a campsite for it to sit on which can take about 30 minutes and then get everything pulled out of my trunk and my backseat and then get...
  20. 2023 Maverick ordering begins August 16, 2022; production begins October 24, 2022

    I get where you're coming from and I'm definitely not arguing that it is really hard work to sell a hot ticket item especially when it is just an order that will sit there for months. I was mainly referring to the allocation system getting a lot of people really angry about how "the man" is...
