Thanks for the correction, I was aware of Flint and BG, the St. Louis was a surprise. Not a Corvette person by any stretch.

"Building on the success" doesn't mean copying the design. The two engines are night and day different, grab a couple, put them on a engine stand and start pulling parts. While I certainly did not know Mr. Cole, I worked closely with Automotive Unclassifieds, believe me they do make mistakes:)...

The vehicle while not a sales success due to it's expensive to produce V8 engine, expensive woodwork and nickle plated bright work, it was mass produced at the Flint, Michigan assembly plant. I've seen one in person and it was certainly fighting above it's weight class although too expensive for...

Chevrolet V8 was in 1917-18 Corvette in 1953, Thunderbird in 1955, both 2 seaters Corvair, not VW copy, in fact not even a 4 cylinder

I have a Extang folding TriFecta on my current truck and love it. It's very durable, easy to open or remove altogether. I priced one for Ranger 5' box, since it's unavailable for Maverick at this point, $420.00

Sorry, can't help you there. My son had (3) different Dodge Dakotas, Blue, Silver and Black, all were sprayed with Black Line-x. Next time I'm across town, I'll stop and get a price and colors for Maverick.

Not just the compact trucks, my favorite trucks are the 67-72 C10 GM trucks and the dropped tailgate height is very low in a 2wd version. I've owned (4) and have loaded motorcycles in all of them very easily due to the low gate height. These were all sizes of bikes and upwards of 575lbs. I'm 6'...

I have a Line-x dealer who will work with you and is very critical on lay-out and over spray. If you indicate some problem spots of typical heavy wear, he will gladly address them with a few more passes, building up the material. While the factory warranty is fine, just how are problem areas or...

Thanks for the info.

What year Camry?

A couple observations, the last Hybrids I drove for any amount of time were the Prius and Camry, both displayed a less than smooth transition. This was 2016. While I'm totally unfamiliar w/ the Ford product, I'm hesitant due to my Toyota experience. When I took my Wife's Highlander in for...

I'm referring to the whole Hybrid system of IC engine, E-motor, battery, cooling system, and electronics to manage everything, not just the transmission. I've watched the video on the transmission and agree, it's a neat, clean unit.

I saw a CG Bronco Sport Badlands today, appeared to be a fresh delivery. I walked around it several times, trying to see what different amounts of shade and sun did to it. It wasn't a color I expected to consider initially although there's something about it that forces your attention. I think a...

I've driven two Toyota Hybrids and to tell the truth, I wasn't very impressed. I always could feel and hear the transition from electric to gas. Is the Escape Hybrid transition apparent also? I'm hung up between the Premium fuel required on the 2.0 and the complexity of the Hybrid. I don't drive...

I just received a very quick reply from "Rostra" concerning adding Cruise Control on the Maverick XL, The following is the reply; " We should have a cruise control system available for the 100A/XL equipment package Mavericks shortly after Ford begins delivery to customers." "Thank you for...

I'm still a mapper, have not carried a cel since I retired and don't own anything w/ Navigation. I enjoy taking road & motorcycle trips, mapping out the run beforehand. Even better yet, getting off the X-way and stopping for lunch and pulling out a map to see where I want to go and what roads...

I thought there were ext cab prototypes pictured on the forum. As far as choices w/ longer beds in the compact truck class, what are they? As I worked in experimental automotive engineering before retirement, I don't see a issue in shuffling bed and cab sizes. The unitized construction lends...

I sincerely hope Ford offers the ext cab Maverick in the future. The length added to the bed is a win-win for me. I have a hard time classifying the current Maverick as Compact truck as most of the original ones had 6' and even 7' bed models(Dakota, Ranger & S-10/S-15). Adding in a low dropped...

I'm with you, less is more.

I just spoke to my dealer who has talked with Ford and to their knowledge, cruise control is not planned as an accessory for XL.
