  1. 1/4 Mile 93 vs 87 Lobo

    It should, mine with 91 octane no ethanol ran a 14.61 at the track.
  2. Can Ford turn the current Maverick into a next gen Ford Flex ?

    It just looks like a Maverick with a very good fitting cap.
  3. What does it take to get 300whp?

    One exception might be GMs TH400, I had a well built 455 with about 450 hp & added 200hp NOS to that, moving a 5000lb car & never had an issue with it.
  4. woo hoo hoo 20000 miles not one issue with it!!!

    I've got 19900 miles with no issues, I'm almost there.
  5. Giveaway: If you could add one feature to the Maverick, what would it be?

    Bench seat, supercab with a 6 foot box.
  6. Eureka!

    I suppose, it is tough to find a matchbook today!:crackup:
  7. OEM tires didn't last

    Part of the problem is the tires new only had 8/32 of tread, where most tires have either 10/32 or 12/32.
  8. Introducing the 1970 Maverick Grabber

    And don't forget the "zippy" big 6 engine that was anything but, you had a choice of a 170, a 200 or 250 engine sizes, the first 2 couldn't pull themselves of a discarded piece of bubblegum:crackup:
  9. Proposed federal yearly fee for Hybrids

    Unfortunately, people here are not that smart. Truck guys ask if my little truck gets around 20 mpg, I say no, it's almost always over 30, then I get but, but ,but ....
  10. Proposed federal yearly fee for Hybrids

    Definitely here in Wisconsin, & I am being conservative on that 25 number.
  11. Proposed federal yearly fee for Hybrids

    It's already happening in the BB Bill:sick: Charging these owners extra is a cash grab by the states, take notice when you drive down the road, for every 1 hybrid & 1 EV, that's a total of 2, there are at least 25 full size 4 wheel drive pickups, many with lifts & larger tires that are more...
  12. Do you think Ranchero would have been a better Name than Maverick since Maverick was a car before?

    It definitely should have been Ranchero! Maybe someone can start stamping out tailgates with Ranchero on them :unsure:
  13. Would You Buy Your Maverick Again?

    I sure would, best vehicle purchase I ever made. Was even thinking about getting a spare one earlier to beat the tar---- I mean price increase, but thought it's better to leave that money for retirement & only replace my Maverick if needed like a crash & then insurance covers most of it anyway...
  14. Barely avoided some Maverick on Maverick violence this morning...

    I feel the same way, these roundabouts can get you through quicker than stopping, the problem is they are all different, 1,2, & 3 lanes sometimes, sometimes you have to be in the right lane to go straight, sometimes you have to be in the left lane to go straight, one spot I go through has 3 in...
  15. Post a Picture of your Maverick and Hot Rod or Muscle Car if you have one.

    My Maverick is my "muscle car", well it's the quickest of all the vehicles I own. I hear a few people mention Road America, I live about 20 minutes south of that track.
  16. S&B intake installed. What a difference

    This intake looks well designed most likely will increase performance, just not big performance, I took the restrictive looking elbow off that is connected to the stock filter box & intake above the radiator, & to me it 'felt' a little more snappy, so when I went to the dragstrip I made runs &...
  17. Old school Waxing

    I prefer this kind of wax product myself, it's a little more labor, but I use an electric buffer, I have tried many of those easy spray ones & they are easier to apply & can leave a nice shine, but they often leave streaks that are very hard to remove & after a couple car washes or rains they...
  18. Ecoboost minus the turbo?

    back in the 80's I used to believe in that saying "there's no replacement for displacement", but that's no longer true, 125hp per liter in mild stock form 150hp easily achievable, & while using less than half the fuel!
  19. Ecoboost minus the turbo?

    I'm guessing the OP was asking if the turbo was like the engine blower in a Mad Max Movie. :unsure:
  20. Does anyone know the expected life for screens in vehicles?

    Right now might be a good time to buy an extra one & have it on hand if you know what I mean. I am sure they are not made in the US.
