I had a 2001 Avalanche and kept it for 11 years. I thought about finding a used one and getting it if I got hit with tariffs. That didn't happen, so I have my Mav. I used my mid-gate a couple of times a year. I loaded up the bed with stuff when we traveled and dropped the seat and put my Lab...
I would be careful about the seal that goes across the bottom of the bed. If water does get in, make sure it won't stop it from draining. I had a GMC Step-side with a vinyl cover with a 1/4" gap on each side at the front where it leaked a small amount. An Avalanche which leaked a small amount...
It's all about the allocations your dealer has. I ordered mine from a small hometown dealer on 8/23 and got a build date mid December for 1/6. I received it on 2/5. I also added a tri-fold bed cover which probably delayed it a bit. It was in production for 2 weeks, part of which was...
I got this jumper/tire inflator -

I also have a 4-year old Schumacher SJ1330 that I like, but it is a bit too large to fit under the rear seat. I also don't like the way it charges using an extension cord plugged into it.
I ordered a Lariat the same color on August 23rd and received it on 2/5! It was supposed to be built on 1/6, but got pushed up to 1/2. I have a name for it picked out, but it is a bit political, so let's just call it Envy! It came with the 4k tow, moonroof, and bed cover.
I already had...
I picked up my 2025 Maverick Lariat with 4k towing and a moonroof for my wife. I messed up and got a folding bed cover, which delayed it for about a week. I had to explain to the sales manager about the $300 pro backup and how it was not on my truck, therefore I was not going to pay for it...
Go straight to Console Vault. I have installed one in the console of 2 different vehicles with no problems. They are pretty easy to install. I will be adding one to my Mav when it gets here.
I have problems in my RAV when the seat is up too far. I hate to say it, but I think it is that 75 part that is the issue. I have a 72 problem, myself, with bad knees and hips. High door sills are hard on us golden oldies. I hope I don't have the issue when my Mav gets here, but I will deal...
My Lariat Mav went into production yesterday, and I just downloaded my window sticker. It also shows a $400 increase. There is no pro trailer feature listed on it, but I don't know if it is something that shows up there. I guess I will know in a month or so.
We can all talk about adjusting our headlights and even do it, but most people will never do it. With state inspections ending, or having ended, and most of those never adjusting them either, headlights will remain aimed high and to the left, blinding other drivers. Oncoming lights bother me...
Well, this post is probably going to get tagged.
I predict the auto industry will be crashing hard, because of pricing being too high for consumers to afford new vehicles. Used vehicles will continue to be overpriced and unaffordable. If tariffs go into effect, American companies will pass...
