She is still a little gun shy of it but is getting used to it. And because she is so short she still has to use a booster cushion--even after raising the seat as high as it will go. She is only 4-11.
My little taco has been a super truck--20-25 mpg depending. But there were too many things starting to act up on it (still mechanically sound), so I decided it was time for a new truck. And the Maverick Hybrid seemed the only way to go. I will keep you in mind on that tie down after I get my...
