  1. What's your "One" Pet Peeve

    My peeve is that large black box above the rear-view mirror causing the mirror to be low enough to cause a large blind spot, & before anyone responds there is no configuration & the mirror cannot be pushed up far enough to change this, if the stalk that holds it to the windshield was about 1-1/2...
  2. New 25 % tariff on mavericks on 02/25 [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS; INFRACTIONS GIVEN]

    That's like preparing for a hurricane when the leading edge hits your house! Not a real good move.
  3. New 25 % tariff on mavericks on 02/25 [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS; INFRACTIONS GIVEN]

    That's what I thought, a casino, people walk in hand you their money & leave, how can that fail!!!!
  4. What else can I improve on my Mav?? Over 315whp already!

    I think that not being a V8 from back in the day is an advantage, cost thousands just to get to one horsepower per cubic inch if possible at all, & now in stock form 2 horsepower per cubic inch is amazing, & using 1/3 of the fuel is just a bonus!
  5. Beer of the Day Thread

    One of my favorites when I can get it is Bofferding, it's a Luxembourg beer comes in a number of variations, I've tried the Lager Pils, Brune & Christmas, all very good, lots of flavor & very smooth.
  6. Using Factory Hitch as a Recovery Point

    I know a few people who like to use a 20 foot chain with 15 feet of slack, bumpers, radiators & grills destroyed before they learned.
  7. 2025 wheel weight and wheel and tire weight (factory)

    Not sure if this is any help, my 22XLT with stock tires are 48lbs, & the steelies with same tire are 51 lbs, tps & wheel weights included.
  8. Replacing my tires

    You will probably be fine with AWD for the first season, but by the second season you may want to replace the tires with something better, the tires that come with the Maverick only have 8/32 tread, I put a pair of Continental I think LX25 on the front of mine for winter, they have a very...
  9. Is the Maverick’s Telematics Data Reported to Law Enforcement?

    The main problem is you were from out of state, are you going to travel back to fight it, they know most won't. It's best to pay the fine, if you fail to do that, don't travel to Virginia again. I have personally removed fuse 11 a few months into ownership, makes me feel a bit better about privacy.
  10. $40K- the new norm?

    Definitions in the dictionary do become obsolete sometimes & have to be revised, the state registration says it's a truck, it's a truck! The Maverick doesn't HAVE to be a 40K truck, it just depends how many gadgets you think you need. My 22 XLT was $23,700, I can build a 25 XL model for $29,110...
  11. Top End cleaner to prevent carbon buildup on valve stems.

    I bought some of this with the intension of using every 5000 miles or so, but I am concerned is there any sensor that could be damaged by using this or & I wouldn't want to spray it into a hot turbo.
  12. PSA- Don't overload your truck like this Ridgeline

    I think this is a photoshop pic, the truck isn't really squatting with that much in it.
  13. Front bumper question - crash / collision protection?

    I really liked those big bumpers, you push around alot of stuff with a car, & not damage it. My old cars a 73 & a 75 have those, lots of chrome to polish! With those bumpers a vehicle could take a minor hit without damage, today's vehicles you hit a shopping cart & it's $5000 to fix!
  14. Wipers- dislike and fix. One of my pet peeves.

    I went from a 22" to a 24" on the drivers side, it works.
  15. Wipers- dislike and fix. One of my pet peeves.

    I did 2 things, I had the same complaint, I put a 1 inch shorter blade on the passenger side & then used a 'wiper puller' to loosen & reposition them so they are below the hood at rest. looks better & 'camera' still works.
  16. What are your "Bold Predictiond" for 2025 in the Maverick (or general automotive) world?

    Ford will slow production before #1, #2 maybe one maker will, #3 a possibility & #4 "The Road Warrior"
  17. Good bye mini duty

    Maybe we could install some of those old "back off" mudflaps :LOL:
  18. Ford Dealership Installed my Hitch Incorrectly

    That's the problem, most often the rear tires are in the water, or right at the edge & therefore no traction.
  19. Christmas Showdown: What's Your Pick? 🎄🍰

    Grinch & Cake!
  20. Ford Dealership Installed my Hitch Incorrectly

    Not necessarily, may not be as good as a 4 wheel drive, but it beats a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, I've seen some spectacular fails with that setup.
