Even though I shouldn't be surprised as we know prices are crazy, but looking at their data I was still shocked. The last time we bought a truck was in 2009, the ultimate time to buy, and that graph confirms it. We didn't even really want a truck, but fuel prices had temporarily spiked and...
I have browsed youtube and online reviews, and haven't seen any comparison of FWD vs AWD Ecoboost acceleration times, brake boosted and regular launch.
Anyone have seen any or have a FWD model and would like to do a test? I'm also curious how the torque steer is on FWD models. I'm leaning...
Pretty extensive, goes over just about everything, got rated EPA fuel economy, likes the ride quality, good visibility, good seat comfort, and at 9:50 he tests the acceleration and is pleased with it for a hybrid, mild torque steer with the FWD, recommends the XLT as the "sweet spot" trim in his...
I haven't been able to find the specifications for the weights of the three tonneau options from Ford, the soft folding, hard trifold, and hard rollup.
Likewise, anyone know the weight of the spray in bed-liner or bed mat?
I'm considering changing my original hybrid plan due to the basically...

Toyota is now openly admitting to lowering their acceptable quality standards for parts on their vehicles, due to supply shortages to keep the production lines going. Previously rejected "scratch and dent" parts will now be used on brand-new vehicles as part of corporate policy.
In short...
So I don't have a Maverick yet, but those amber bulbs reflecting off the front blinkers or orange/amber even when off bothers me aesthetically. Figured I'd share this should be an option to fix that issue.
1) LED Option:
2) Chrome bulb option:
The proper size are the first ones, as...
Alex on Autos has just completed his FULL review (before was just a preview) of the Santa Cruz. He makes comparisons to the Maverick in the review on ride and noise etc. and a FULL Maverick review should also be released soon.
Daily Motor finally reviewed the audio system that is standard on all trims, and as expected it scores poorly with a "D" (on A, B, C, D, F) scale compared to the average new vehicle available today. However, as its in a base model XL FWD model, and for vehicles in its price range it received a...
The timestamp youtube videos should start at the offroad portion, same course, and verdict seems to be that both could really use more offroad worthy tires, even the FX4 package as they struggled about the same.

I did a search and was surprised to find that with all the grumbling about the controversial choice of orange interior accents, that no one has mentioned simply plastidipping them. On many surfaces it would maintain the same rubberized type of surface since its a rubberized coating, but just...
