  1. Totally Bonehead Move

    Man, how am I supposed to fake my death of driving off a cliff if the truck stops when I jump out? I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you kids and that meddling Ford!
  2. New Tacoma (2024+ 4th gen) revealed in leaked patent images 📸

    Eh, the only one that looks really sharp to me is the Colorado out of the refreshes but I tend to notice with me most of the time, pics just don't do a vehicle justice. When I first saw the renders for the big refresh on the mustangs with the European styling I was meh but then I saw it in...
  3. Raspberry Pi computer inside our Mavericks

    I was actually thinking about this the other day looking at the screen. I wonder how hard it would be to tap the screen with a pi and the systems of the truck and get tinkering with a android automotive build for it. I haven't played with android in quite a while since tinkering with phones...
  4. Getting my Maverick on Monday

    I was actually wrong about cp360, the dealer never put it in for my order, I thought he did but when we reviewed the build sheet vs the truck, I saw it was never entered. Sucks I really did want it but I can live without it though. I also had a hybrid order in, same thing as this for option...
  5. New Electronic License Plates?

    Most likely installing a power source and programming the license identification is what the dealer would do unless it is battery powered. Tapping the OBD2 system beyond the only OBD2 port in a vehicle is more complex then just plugging a universal connector in. That would be something at the...
  6. New Electronic License Plates?

    It's the extra stuff that adds additional costs like gps transponder, tracking, etc. Added complexity increases cost to produce, increases power consumption, internal parts, etc Most likely it is not OBD2 since that requires running wires and adds to the cost of customer installing, most...
  7. New Electronic License Plates?

    While the idea of a digital license plate is actually a good idea for things like parking validation, stolen vehicle, etc is a good idea. The advertising, clock, alerts, etc are all beyond stupid when everyone has a phone that gets alerts or has a clock on it. Advertising is so the company...
  8. Philly Region Roll Call?

    I'm originally a Philly boy but I live down in lower Delaware at the beaches now. Heading up to Jim thorpe area this weekend though. I know there is at least four down here including my carbonized gray one, there was the guy who picked up the alto blue that got delivered the same day as mine...
  9. Maverick Ecoboost or Santa Cruz ? (If we don't get our Maverick Hybrid)

    The Ecoboost does have a turbo https://www.ford.com/powertrains/ecoboost/ The maverick is my third Ford vehicle and my second with an Ecoboost. Ecoboost are tried and true powerplants at this point which is why I chose the eb over hybrid because I know the tech, can work on them and I would...
  10. Android Auto "COOLWALK" split screen (public stable release) working on my base XL Maverick!

    Google has done staged rollouts for years, it's all server side so you might get it today or you could get it in a few days. You can test all you want in house and with a beta test but until it is fully public, it is quite possible to find a crucial bug once it starts rolling out to more users...
  11. Why Buy a Maverick?

    For me, I'm getting rid of a 12 f150. I just don't need that big of a truck anymore that is a pain to park. Since I have a Colorado for a work truck, I've gotten used to making the smaller bed work, it just takes some organization plus driving a smaller truck daily is easy to do. For a...
  12. Getting my Maverick on Monday

    Long time lurker here, first time poster. Got the call on Monday that my Maverick came in and I completely wasn't expecting it till at least April. I didn't even know it was coming yet since the dealer put the wrong email in and the only time I checked with Ford support was to see if my order...
