103, that extra bed length would put me over the top.

I'm not talking Low Rider type of lowering. I'm talking dropping it to make it easy to enter, load, handle & ride better, usually 1-2". I think this will work well on the Maverick. Just what is a truck suppose to look like? If it has a bed, it's a truck IMO. We have several Contractors in town...

For me the lowering of the Maverick would put icing on the cake. It makes it easier to load the back or lean over the side to put something in the box. It may actually benefit the MPG, be easier to get into and just plain looks Kool. As I'm in Michigan, I have to watch just how low I go...

I believe it depends on if you purchase the FWD or AWD. The AWD should not be a issue as it uses normal coil springs at the rear, if you don't get too crazy, I'm sure the aftermarket will be able to produce something, perhaps even Ford. The FWD will be different as it uses Force Vectoring rear...

I'm with you regarding Tacomas, my 09 was the worse truck I've owned. Lots of issues and the driving position is terrible. I'm a (5) time Toyaota owner so it's not that I don't like the brand. My 04 Tundra was 10 times the vehicle.

It they do have D.I. the benefits of running Premium fuel makes more sense. The increased power is a plus and from what I understand keeps the intake valves cleaner. I guess if you're leasing or trade vehicles every 2-3 years and don't enjoy or need the extra power than stick w/ the regular...

I feel the same way although recently learned Rastra is going to tool up with a CC for the XL

(3) time Subaru owner, with over 160K on them, they're over rated in my eyes.

From my research and understanding, the 2.5 is a real solid engine that has stood the test of time. I believe it's listed by Wards as one of the ten best. Due to it's proven long term durability over time I'm guessing it's less expensive to build and operate than the 3 cylinder turbo and makes...

I have to ask, what's the issue w/ manual mirrors?

I've also had mixed results w/ Weathertech in my 09 Tacoma, 10 Highlander and 17 Outback. My wife just purchased a new 22 Outback and it has the optional factory weather mats, I like them better, they fit great and they're a whole lot easier to clean.

I started driving on bias belted Nylon tires and RWD in the late 1960's. I still drive a RWD truck although with radial tires and have no issues in the Winter weather. I prefer RWD over FWD as I'd rather lose traction in the rear oppose to the front where the steering takes place. This is in...

Thanks for the info.

Have you priced shipping a vehicle lately? The cost would eat up most of the savings.

Thanks although a bit too far. 21 hour drive for me.

How did you get such a low price? That seems about $1100 below sticker. I'm guessing you ordered a bare bones, XL Hybrid.

While there is a "cooling off period" law, I don't believe it applies to vehicle purchases. I understand this is due to the lost value on returning a now "used " vehicle.

I use one of the old steel milk crates when loading a motorcycle. Its placed next to the ramp, allowing me to get a step up in making that final push into the bed. I like the steel ones for this as they don't slide around on concrete like a plastic item.

Seems to be a great color in person although I like the use of machined surfaces and black to enhance it.

The Winter and Summer driving on a Hybrid would seem to me to be lower in MPG due to running A/C or requiring heat. I'd be interested in the yearly average mpg on the Maverick. While the 2.0 would be also be affected seasonally, I doubt it would be as much.
