Only if you want legit OEM. If the motors have feedback lines and you're willing to be a little janky with just a momentary rocker switch installed somewhere discreet, hooking that up to an arduino and writing a little routine to save and set a position is no big deal. If no one has done it, I...
Wife randomly decided a few days that she didn't want to take her Expedition somewhere and decided to drive my Mav. I then used it a few hours later and of course the seats and mirrors had been adjusted. nbd, I just adjusted everything back. But she drove it again yesterday. I think she's...
Every time I read about a CV Axle failure on here, it was for a Hybrid. @Mavtremor24 I'm really interested to know if you are stock or modified. Tremor's have largely escaped this. There have been few posts where Tremor owners reported early CV axle failures but I chalked those off to...
Please report it to the NHTSA. Ford will never recall over this if enough people don't report it and the NHTSA doesn't investigate. Without an NHTSA investigation, at best we get a TSB for a bandaid fix that just gets the axles to last a bit longer until warranty periods lapse.
- $3k trade in allowance on the 2004 Ranger.
- $3k cash rebate from ford for MY2024 Mavs.
so you can call it $37K if you like. I prefer $31K because that’s what actually came out of my pocket.
Parks Ford of Gainesville, FL. Was the one local to me that has all those MY24s on the lot. Wager most are still there as this was less than a month ago. That’s not where I bought though. I purchased at Duval Ford of Jacksonville.
MY25's aren't going to discount that heavily. The difference between a MY25 and a MY26 is not that substantial. The difference between a MY24 and an MY24 is more considerable (design refresh, sync 4). MY24s will be where the deep discounts are.
Do netbooks run legit Windows? I thought they ran Windows for ARM and FORscan wouldn't run on that. Too late for me but that's a dirt cheap option for someone else with the same question. If that's possible, that's a perfect solution.
Anyone have any suggestions on a cheap computer that would essentially be relegated to just making FORscan mods? I have some interest in changing a few things but all of my computers are Mac and I'm not going to buy a laptop just to run FORscan on it. Has anyone gotten it running on a Raspberry...
Email the head of service or the dealership GM. Tell them they either do the alignment or you take your service business elsewhere, for this and everything else you have done by the dealer. If you get all your service done at the same dealer, they will sometimes step in to keep the business...
The Mav seems to be canibalizing the body on frame light truck market. Look at the sales numbers for the Ranger versus the Mav. Both are overpriced for what they are but that is the market. Anyone looking for a Ranger is more likely to compromise into a Mav or splurge into an F150 purely because...
The answer is if it's all you got, then you make do. Otherwise, I would not. My back seat is for my kids on quick trips around town. Longer trips in excess of an hour, we take the land yacht
The discounts are already there for some dealers (some have not yet come to Jesus). I got out the door for $31K on a '24 Maverick Lariat Tremor that had an MSRP of $40K. With MY26 order books opening soon, lots of MY24s and MY25's still on the lot (which was due to a 6-month stop sale due to a...
Just because rules of thumb are old, does not mean they are wrong but I would agree that there's no magic to a 4-year loan (imo) other than it's pretty obvious that the longer you are servicing debt, the longer you are undermining your ability to build wealth. I think the specific 4-year number...
That is true. In fact, in most casses they have a legally enforceable, fiduciary duty to maximize profits and return to shareholders.
it’s still sad to see so many people making poor decisions instead of just buying what they can comfortably afford. If people did that, prices would magically...
I think we’d have to agree to disagree on that. I suppose technically this is true, but that doesn’t make it smart.
i agree with everything else though. Mavs are unlikely to see high repo numbers because they are priced right at the upper end of what the average household earning the median...
I never said I gleaned it from this data but let’s do some basic math.
The most recent official figure of median household income from the US Census Bureau is for 2023 and that number was $80,610. That was a few years ago though and people tend to get raises year over year so let’s be generous...
