When Ford first announced the new Maverick, I knew right away it was a vehicle I wanted. A pickup truck starting at or below $22k is unheard of now days, much less one capable of getting MPG’s in the 40’s. After multiple attempts in early 2022 to buy one at MSRP, I located a friend-of-a-friend...
Looks very similar, but definitely not the product. I am assuming the manufacturer is now gone or the product itself was discontinued. It wasn't something I think many people would buy based upon the way it looked, but its a fantastic product. I wish I could remember the name just to ease my...
I don't know if you watch Street olOutlaws, but I've been to a couple of events and I follow the show pretty regularly and I was really shocked this season when those guys showed up with the all-wheel drive f-150s and was pretty much putting everybody on the trailer. So I think an all-wheel...
I am not sure if this product exists anymore, but I cant find it or remember the name. Years ago (around 1998) I bought and used a car detailing cloth. It was designed to be used dry on the exterior of the vehicle the days following a wash to remove pollen and light dust. The cloth was fairly...
Wow. Modern day GMC Cyclone. Well done. People don't realize you don't just buy parts and make this happen, you have to think about every single thing every step of the way. Great job, looks awesome.
You will not find those hypergrams in 17" if you want the Mavs 5x108 bolt pattern. I went down that road a few weeks ago contacting every single wheel dealer on the first two pages of google, searching ebay, and finally emailing Konig. It's long discontinued and sold out. You can get them in 18"...
Ive been through every wheel available for the maverick that meets the load requirements and I sure have never seen one that weighs 11 lbs. Please tell.
I was just about to mention this. Seems my hybrid won't shut up if the key inside. It's incredibly annoying. I bought the XL model because I wanted to be a bottom of the barrel truck. Looks like I should have bought just the X model.
I was wondering why 60's seemed high on these trucks. Make sense now. I could get 2.1s in a fwd focus on factory tires so I was thinking you guys should be able to beat 1.9xxx.
Rotational mass. I'm not going to argue with you as you probably know more than me, but even at 10lbs, yeah it's pretty significant. Lightweight wheel companies often tout the 1lb=20lb rule so that's where I got it from. It gets even more tricky when you figure that added tire weight is even...
Thanks for the reply and also for detailed driving data, which helps for sure. I think its justified to be happy with your setup for sure. Some compromise was made, but it was the right kind of compromise.
I don't think people understand how important tire/wheel weight is on a vehicle like the...
