Has anyone tried making a bed rail system that includes a headache rack? It looks to me like it'd be a pretty good way to mount one permanently without having to rely on clamps or modifying the body. And that body looks like the kind of thing I really wouldn't want to try welding to, even with...

My point stands- what regulators or insurers are going to care? None of these systems are safety or emissions related. For all we know, the 2023 Mavericks will have hand crank windows as a cost saving option instead of power windows, and regulators won't blink an eye.

Guess you've never bought a used car where the power windows and AC don't work? Nobody cares about things like that. As long as it's not throwing a CEL, it's going to get registered just fine. Now, when the self- annointed "safety engineers" who've never driven in their lives make Copilot 360 a...

My Spanish is bad enough. Not even going to try Portugese. That having been said, this is basically the same speculation that we got from the "OMG Renegade Pickup". It's not going to come into the US, for the exact same reason we aren't getting Chevy Montanas/Tornadoes in the US. If they were...

Combination of things. Some dipshit crashing their POS Buick into my old Colorado on Christmas morning of 2020, me being tired of used cars that need too much of the driveline rebuilt, the Jeep I bought to replace the truck needing a lot more good money thrown after bad money to get it able to...

Yeah, this. If Chevy wanted the US compact truck market, it'd just do whatever it needs to import Tornadoes and that'd be the end of it. But for whatever reason they're still sinking costs on the same oversized pedestrian mashers that everyone else is.

See, what I'm wondering about is how complete "plug and play components" are. It's not hard to install loose chips if you've already taken the necessary steps- Apple used to sell a floppy drive kit for two Mac models that included new ROMs and a new floppy controller. Just yank out the old ones...

Riiiight. Let me guess, you've also got a Ford dealership to sell me on Liberty Island? (half joking) I want to verify before getting too excited.

What's your source for this "new model"?

Haters gonna hate, but green cars also tend to fade out. My mom's '68 Plymouth was a silvery green, and it got hit at least a dozen times by people who literally said they "just didn't see it." Don't buy a green car unless you want high chiropractor bills and to wind up in the insurance pool...

Slow down a second big fella. Those eyebolts may be stainless, but what kind of metal are they screwing into? If it's not painted or galvanized you could be setting yourself up for galvanic corrosion. Basically rust but caused by having dissimilar metals touching.

Can you get detailed measurements for that thing and post it in the FITS subforum? I smell another opportunity to make even more accessories. Edit: And my first thought on "orange is the new masculine color," was Hunter Orange.

Finally got up close with a Maverick- in a doctor's office parking lot, of all places. It looked like a dealership fleet vehicle- at least it was white and the guy driving it was in a dealership polo shirt. Had the spray- in bedliner. Kinda surprised that I could see straight over the top. It's...

Posting here so I don't hijack the thread in the FORSCAN subforum. Isn't the Maverick supposed to have AWD? But the warnings on the Mud/Ruts and Snow settings read like it's behaving more like a part- time 4x4 (all wheels rotating at the exact same speed) instead of an AWD or full- time 4x4...

See, I like the orange but I'm not sure it's enough for me to get an XLT instead of an XL. Be nice to be able to swap out the colors as desired.

Dunno if it's possible, but it sounds like another 3D printing project for the FITS customization subforum.

Just that, polling how many people got the 4k tow package and how many didn't. I'm curious because after looking at a bunch of window stickers for canceled orders, I've only seen one with the 4k package show up- and that was about 200 miles away.

Has anyone worked out the geometries of the bed cubbies? If you have, mind sharing to the group?

Looking at the configurator on Ford's website, and the full size spare is an option. From the price, my guess is that it's just for the tire and rim. So, if I was to get one with a donut spare, would I be able to just drive down to a tire store and pick up a full- sized spare and rim? Or would...

Having driven vehicles that would hard start or have starter wiring issues? It's about not having to worry about whether or not it's going to leave me stranded, or wasting a whole green light cranking. I get that we're talking new cars, but they won't be new forever.
