Ok gents, Here is my latest update on fuel economy. this past weekend we took a drive up north so the wife could see the fall colors. Before we left we filled up the tank so I could get the #'s from just that road trip. Before we left my ODO was @ 1269.2 I put 11.947 gal in the tank and got...

See Above Rant.

Not that I need to justify this to anyone but myself and my wife, but here is the reason I purchased the plan that I did. My personal work commute it 80mi RT. I also am required to some driving in my personal vehicle for work (for which I am compensated). With my commute alone I have...

I would put my money on an all electric Maverick. The Maverick Lightning?!? Give me the big battery that the F150 has that can power my house in a power outage!!

I purchased a maintenance plan. It added about 2k to the total price, it’s a 5year 100k mile plan that covers all maintenance items, besides tires. I went with the 5k mile oil change interval. With all the oil changes and every maintenance interval item included I felt it was worth it. remember...

True, My dealer wanted to send mine to line-x and up-charge me $100. fortunately I had already reached out to Line-x for a quote. Plus not adding it to my financing was another savings.

Quote from Owners Manual: "For best overall vehicle and engine performance, premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The performance gained by using premium fuel is most noticeable in hot weather as well as other conditions, for example when towing a trailer. See...

Yes this is specific to the FX4. no other trim has the skid plates.

I can confirm there is no Loctite on the screws or bolts that I removed from the small skid plate to take the pictures. The smaller screws were screwing into little metal body clips and I don't think Loctite would do much good there. The two larger bolts on either end were fairly long. If this...

using this logic, lets see. I don't have my time from the last time I calculated MPG but I will use my current miles and time on the clock. I have traveled 1107 miles for a total time of 32:40. so the math would be 1107/32.6667. that would make my average speed 33.8877. I will also say that...

He's got it on auto-pilot.... set it and forget it right?!?!?

Ok, Just wanted to update my calculated MPG. I am almost to 1000 miles on the ODO. These are my calculated MPG based on how many miles driven and how much fuel I added. for reference the in-dash computer, witch has not been reset, is telling me I am getting 29.8 MPG. I am using 91 octane fuel...

Being in the A/V industry, The answer to this question is not universal. not every screen (even from one manufacture) is built in the same orientation. However for the most part you should be fine. but we have found a small percent of TV's are not viewable with polarized glasses on.

i wish I could tell youit’s an illusion, but no, it’s that close!

Here are the pictures I promised! Sorry for the wait. I had to lift the truck up to fit my fat a$$ under it! LOL as you can see there is a large panel on the front you need to remove to get to the filter. and a small plastic air scoop (transmission cooling?) in the middle you need to remove to...

Food For Thought: Utilizing this scenario, if you would have invested that $1200 in Ford stock when you purchased the vehicle your ROI would have way out paced that $3500 repair bill. stock price on 1-21-1992: $2.13/share $1200 @ 2.13/share = aprox. 562 shares Stock price on 12-30-1999...

Got my first fill up today. The truck had 400.6 on the ODO. 391 being miles I have put on it, and the 9mi that was on the car when I took possession (I have a sneaking feeling the salesman took her for a spin and was not gentle) I filled it up with 13.687 gallons of 91 octane. The math on that...

Some off road photos of my Boy Blue!

I like that look, Where did you get it done?

Ok Gents, I have taken delivery of my FX4 Maverick today, I can confirm you will need to remove a panel that runs the full width of the truck, and about 6-8” “deep” from the bumper to the main skid plate. The rest of the skid plate is a single piece that covers the rest of the engine bay. I will...
