Sure, everyone has different expectations and driving styles. I would rather not drive a truck at all but as a homeowner it became necessary. A winding road or highway ramp is wasted without a good handling vehicle. I have three motorcycles and three cars with good suspension and sticky tires...

I would really like to have paddle shifters so I can preselect a gear before pulling out to pass or merge on the highway. I had a second gen lightly modified Veloster turbo, paddle shifting wasn't perfect, but it was far better than the hit or miss Maverick mapping. Paddle shifters in my turbo...

What solution did you use?

I do, I will be 68 in February but still push my vehicles to the point of sliding if I can see thru the corner and will not risk anyone's safety.

I bet they do not. Most street cars I see have wide tires levered on to narrow rims. Few understand that effect on sidewall roll and flex. Then ask them about negative camber or control arm bushing flex.

Very difficult to go from my modified cars to the Maverick, trying to make it handle and grip as well as is reasonably possible.

Yes Yamaha SHO, I have raced MX and road raced motorcycles, with cars both Autox and HPDE Time Attack. SHO Ford with the Yamaha tuned intake?

Having competed in autocross and HPD Time Attack I recognized that a 7 inch rim is far too narrow for optimal handling. Of course, it is fine for almost all reading this forum but there could be a few that want handling over appearance or off-road capability. Rather than appearance or the...

I thought there may be a few, and I know it would be very few as this is a truck forum, who would benefit from my experience. There are a few of us who value performance over appearance, but of course there will always be the sarcastic replies.

Looks like they direct and smooth airflow but still force it into a smaller cross section. I don't want to start a 5 page debate here. I would suggest that any who doubt this very old and basic principle just do a google search for fluid/aerodynamics. Engineers understand this very well but even...

Perilli P zero tires and Konig rims. I have no photos as I do not make these changed for appearance. I spend far more time driving my vehicles than looking at them, so performance is by far the most important consideration.

I should start by stating my goals. I am not a truck person; I have 3 cars all on Koni suspension and 200 tread wear tires. No desire to go off road, want my maverick to be as car like as possible. Removed the factory 7inch rims and went with lightweight 18x8.5 with 280 tread wear 235's. Saved...

As in a constant cross section? Not scoop or funnel shaped internally?

Not saying the S&B is bad overall, just that it could be better. I suspect the designers knew that far more prospective buyers would be impressed with the scoop, and having no idea of the physics would buy the product, can't blame them there, business depends on sales and if the remaining system...

Basic physics, If air is pushed thru a diminishing cross section its velocity must increase, when velocity increases pressure drops, the last thing we want is to feed the airbox with low pressure air. I know this is not intuitive but as a retired professional mechanic, motorcycle and auto racer...

I have a 2024 Maverick with the JB4, map 3 with 94 octane Sunoco, AFE intake and aftermarket 18" rims and tires which have saved just over 5 lbs. per corner. Data logged peak boost at 19.2. I have a water meth kit waiting for installation but have no idea when I might get time. Overall satisfied...

OK, been waiting for someone to address this issue. The S&B looks so well designed with the exception of the apparent scoop. Is that scoop only there for convenient mounting? Is there a constant cross section divider, A scoop type air intake is basically never a good idea. If no internal wall to...
