  1. WHITE chicken pox marks on Paint, How to Remove?

    Have you tried a water spot remover? Worth a shot either way, as it’s a good product to have on hand if you like to do your own washes and waxes. I’ve used Chemical Guys with good luck. But my apologies, as I cannot decipher anything from the photos...
  2. 3D Printed Bin for the Bed Cubby

    Looks great! I was gonna say, better patent that before the design gets stolen and re-sold on this site by a vendor. Might be too late already!
  3. MPG Differences for Hybrid, warm to cold, WHY does your MPG drop?

    Agreed, and the heated steering wheel became the welcome bonus. I ordered it this way, but never actually tried a vehicle with one before getting the Mav, so I had no prior expectations.
  4. MPG Differences for Hybrid, warm to cold, WHY does your MPG drop?

    Tire construction is also a big deal, for those of us that swap seasonally for snow tires in winter. Summer time we can typically get 45-46mpg. Winter time drops to low 30’s. About half that is various aspects such as colder air temps causing ICE to run longer, including using cabin heat...
  5. Orange Fury Metallic now arriving at dealers (first photos)

    I’m quite fond of this new Orange Fury. I tend to like bold colors, and the cyber orange was too school bus for me. I’d of ordered this instead of black had it been available back then. I might be in the minority, but what else is new….
  6. Stranded 2025 hybrid AWD XLT! Shifted into Park, error messages, can't do *ANYTHING*

    While it might not be related or the exact same cause to these Christmas tree array of symptoms, I recall other forum members experiencing all these (nearly if not) the same symptoms. There was a whole rash of them all at once. I did not experience it, so my timeline may be off, but maybe a...
  7. Ford Unveils New Dealership Design and Sales & Service Experience

    Well, I’m glad food and beverage are listed first as priorities. Skinny Pop and granola bars are game changers for me! Who cares about product quality when crappy snacks are easier to get. Guess I better get a man bun going too. Cheap snacks are job one!
  8. How much weight in the bed for winter snow

    I run dedicated snow tires and no sand bags in our fwd hybrid. I had initially planned to use some sand bags, since I would normally do this on all previous rwd/4wd trucks, but found the Mav just didn’t need them.
  9. Garbage Jack Handle

    yes I am aware of that—thanks.
  10. Garbage Jack Handle

    I live in the Rust Belt, so anti-seize went on the lugs the very first time I took the tires off (which was within 800 miles of buying new). I also spread a bit around the center bore hole/flange and hub face to help prevent the wheels themselves from rusting in place.
  11. JD Powers says the Santa Cruz is the #1 "midsize" truck?

    I’m hoping ā€œMahkā€ will make a come back on his ā€œJD Powaā€ commercials. Far more useful than an actual JD Power review.
  12. Debris under the clear cover over the R/F headlight assembly on 2025 Lariat Hybrid AWD.

    It looks like plant seedlings/tree s3x trapped between your fender and headlight in the gap (not inside the headlight).
  13. What products and process do you prefer for washing your truck?

    I hand-wash ONLY anymore. I use the ā€œtwo-bucket method,ā€ or a modified version if it via a pressure washer, foam cannon, and bucket to rinse the wash mit (dirt trap is built for a bucket, and I bought at harbor freight). I do not go to a public car wash anymore due to issues (damage...
  14. Press clutch to start vehicle??? WTF?

    That’s one of those Manuel transmissions, as built in Mexico.
  15. travel trailers - my shortlist and what do you have?

    My .02 cents after owning a few campers, is that most are built like cr@p. If you only plan to own a short while, buy new or nearly new, if you can afford it. If you plan to own for the long haul, stick with ā€œhigher endā€ brands. You’ll pay more, but you get more. My short list is typically...
  16. 2025 Headlight mod?

    I think that looks great. Careful, a vendor might steal your idea and have something for sale in a week!
  17. Recently joined the Shadow Black club

    Very nice! Black is my favorite color choice for vehicles, despite it looking dirtier more easily. I ceramic’d my truck, so it’s very easy to wash.
  18. 2025 Headlight mod?

    While I’m not fond of the ā€œbullhornsā€ look for the ā€˜25, I’d need to keep my high beams. Having said that, the low beams of our ā€˜23 are absolutely fantastic. I have not driven or owned a ā€˜25, and I am curious if the headlights are as strong?
  19. Trying To Decide on Ceramic Coating for 2025 Mav-Need Advice Please

    Did they mention the brand of ceramic they would have used? I find their comment/requirement of such frequent washes to be odd. As for car washing in general, every method has pros and cons. All have risks and can do damage in various ways, including hand-washing. Did they mention what they...
  20. is there an easy way to empty out the hole in the center console?

    If there’s a positive here, you could just continue to collect money from your friend.
