I just sold my Mityvac - it was great when I had my VW Sportwagen - suck the oil out, top-side cartridge filter change; no reason to lift or crawl under the vehicle (although I usually did the tire rotation too). Euro vehicles seem setup better for this. After doing one oil change on my Mav...

This. OP - if your OEM brakes are able to lock up your wheels (and they are), you won't get a reduced stopping distance by "upgrading" your brakes. You are limited by your tire grip. If you truly want shorter stopping distances, you should run a high performance and/or wider tire. In reality...

Conveniently comes in a 6qt low plastic bag and meets the specific Ford spec for Maverick hybrids. And always a good price at WallyWorld.

Your wife/GF will not appreciate losing the warmth of an incandescent - that's my hint.

here's your color, but it has BAP https://www.kengarffwestvalleyford.com/inventory/new-2025-ford-maverick-lariat-awd-crew-cab-pickup-3fttw8s30srb68323/ https://www.windowsticker.forddirect.com/windowsticker.pdf?vin=3FTTW8S30SRB68323

If you care about price - which you kinda do, but not so much so that you are considering a non-Lariat trim (and your current Rav is an XSE)... I'd use cars.com and visor.vin and look for a truck on the lot that meets your needs and negotiate. You'll get a better price than ordering and not...

"Cali" That's where "Frisco" is located, right?

That's nuts. My insurance is less than $60/mo for my Mav. Had a claim when it was a month old for $15k+ after uninsured driver rear-ended me, also. I'm blown away by auto insurance costs for lower cost of living areas in the US.

Yup. My mom's insurance was quite high. Being old will do that.

nah, someone will definitely fix and sell that thing - and it'll be over $20k

Cheap trailer that will depreciate like a brick - but that's par for the course, so just enjoy your time with it.

an A/C button that was a true on/off switch No humidity sensor to override my desire for the A/C to stay OFF!!!

Oh, and I checked too - My Maverick and our Sienna are both worth more than a few months ago. It's almost like skyrocketing gas prices have made hybrids more valuable and inflation is rearing up again :facepalm:

If we're going to get pedantic about it - and I'm about to - I think you're double-counting by using depreciation, inflation, and current day replacement cost. If you're replacing a used vehicle, on which you've paid depreciation on - the equivalent would be the same, used vehicle at whatever...

Tempting fate.

Its a hybrid! EV x I4 = V4 it maths ;)

Noise = more power. Air temp doesn't matter. Actual HP doesn't matter. MOAR NOISE = MOAR POWA!!! /end of today's school lesson in [meta]physics

Hybrid? I'll have sold it and moved on long before needed brake work. I don't buy that 2-3 year fluid replacement is required either - not humid enough here.

Unless there are specifics of the newer AWD hybrid that you really want, I'd keep your current truck. The cost to upgrade will likely never be paid off in gas savings, even with today's high prices. The price differential could be used for some nice upgrades to your current truck and/or camper...

China has 500-year plans. The US changes its plan every 4 years. Look who is focusing on oil and gas for short term profits and who is planning on a fossil fuel free future.
