  1. Please Get a Dash Cam

    I have been looking at both mangoal and fitcamx and have sent emails with pics and diagrams but can't get them to understand. I have adaptive cruise but not sure about lane keep assist?.????? I have the mirror plugged into overhead light console for power to auto dim and homelink. Don't know...
  2. Please explain why someone would pay so much for a air filter

    I will do what I can to save some money, but there are some things that are above my pay grade, or I am just not agile enough any more to do some of those things. But I will give it one heck of a try.
  3. Maverick Old Farts

    Every once in a great while someone will have the clove gum, blackjack--usually I see it at Christmas when they mail out all those catalogues from those companies that sell all the meats and cheeses and all that good stuff. Used to like the Look and Big Hunk but they are now a little rough on...
  4. ATTN: Ford's Annual Price Increase on ESPs (Extended Service Plans) Coming Soon - Lock in your Granger Warranty before Oct 1st!

    I thought as much, but it never hurts to be careful. Granger seems to be the more popular option.
  5. ATTN: Ford's Annual Price Increase on ESPs (Extended Service Plans) Coming Soon - Lock in your Granger Warranty before Oct 1st!

    Thanks! I was concerned it might be like those fly by night extended warranties promoted by all those rich celebs like ice, danica patrick and so on. I will check ut out. Seems comparable to those I have had on my Toyotas and Lexus.
  6. What Did You Love or Hate About Your Last Vehicle Before Maverick?

    Really enjoyed our 98 Taco, but it was getting up in years and my wife was getting tired of having to put a lot of pressure on the brakes to get it to stop. The door handles were getting hard to open and the interior opener finally broke. And a sensor has gone out making it hard to start--just...
  7. Please explain why someone would pay so much for a air filter

    Seems like the carmakers are going the route of the software developers--subscription based, so that you will be renting a car in perpetuity based on this item for $8 a month, this item for $7 a month and so on. And then because of the EULA you don't own it and after you are tired of the...
  8. What did your maverick replace?

    We bought the Maverick to replace our 98 Taco with 190K on it, regular cab, crank windows. Sits outside now, looking lonely. Need to sell it and get if off the insurance. Still runs good, but needs a little work.
  9. ATTN: Ford's Annual Price Increase on ESPs (Extended Service Plans) Coming Soon - Lock in your Granger Warranty before Oct 1st!

    I just purchased my Maverick in Jan and am not familiar with the Granger or even the Ford ESP. Is one preferred over the other for a reason or for price......................any info would be appreciated.
  10. Please explain why someone would pay so much for a air filter

    So true, the salesman I bought my Lexus from did not know that the vehicle had real leather seats in the front and faux leather in the back. I kept telling him it sure looks and smells like real leather and he said no. Finally, he had to ask another sales person and sure enough, I was right...
  11. Please explain why someone would pay so much for a air filter

    It seems like a lot of the dealers have a scam of the week in order to sell some low dollar item at a high dollar price. When I bought my Lexus, the only thing I got was an extended warranty and a windshield insurance policy. My regular insurance agent, who I no longer have did not like to...
  12. Please explain why someone would pay so much for a air filter

    Yeah, there should be something from the manufacturer instead of a podunk sales person. Though I can say here of late when I have bought a car, the salesperson was a little less pushy. When I bought my wife's Maverick (yes, it was for her) the sales lady went way out of her way to get us this...
  13. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    Finally got my cheap chinese retractable tonneau cover installed--had to have the son help me-still recovering from tka and can't do much with a bum knee. Had to take the side rails off to install support brackets, but it seems to be working ok and does look pretty good, considering I only paid...
  14. Please explain why someone would pay so much for a air filter

    I know that back in the day there was a so called break in period of about a 1000 miles, about not driving at a constant speed for too long--just vary your speed. I have asked many a dealer about new cars and some will say there is no break in period, because of the tighter tolerances of the...
  15. Please explain why someone would pay so much for a air filter

    Or the 295 dollar nitrogen for the tires, or the 10 dollar can of scotch guard treatment that costs 300 dollars
  16. Maverick Old Farts

    @TheShark Still buy those on occasion. One of my favorites-just like chick o stick. Have to avoid bit o honey though as they like to pull off my crowns and things like that.
  17. Please explain why someone would pay so much for a air filter

    Yeah, back in the day when we first moved back to Texas, the state inspection was mandatory and so many of the stations had a racket going on. From you need a muffler on a new car--especially at the sears service centers, or a new tire. One guy I knew did not get a safety sticker because they...
  18. Best truck song ever!

    Kind of partial to Phantom 309; Giddy up; Teddy Bear-Red Sovine.
  19. Maverick Old Farts

    Growing up in the grocery business I saw a lot of that stuff.
