My issue is that there is no reason for it to die.

The Maverick not being manual is the only thing I don't like about the truck. I've driven manuals my whole life and had to get rid of my old small Mazda manual truck bc the maintenance was taking too much of my time. I almost bought a fun hatch or wrx or something, but I just really wanted to...

Don't be ashamed, we have speed limits that high here in Texas. Mine seems totally stable even at higher speeds.

That's cool and all, but where is my Maverick ST at?!

Id prefer the full EV, as it would most likely have the most performance.

People need to decouple EV's and gas stations. The most likely reality is that you will be charging at home, while you are sleeping, and not at a charging station waiting obscene amounts of time. There are very few people that charging time will be more than an anecdotal issue. Range anxiety is...

I just drove ~1400 miles this weekend in total and averaged around 28 MPG. However, I was consistently going 85-90 for most of the highway driving, so I am happy!

Agreed, I'd actually much prefer if the tailgate had nothing at all. I am not a fan of the huge tailgate lettering all manufacturers have seemed to adopt.

I KNOW a DCT or even regular automatic can shift faster than I can, but it still isn't the same driving experience IMO. Also, there is a pretty good video online that highlights how manual cars have been geared to be slower than their automatic counterparts. I am going to have a hard time giving...

Lets be honest, if it isn't manual, it's not worth shifting. I'd do anything for a manual maverick.

"RAPTOR LINER" by UPOL is a great DIY bed liner. I have used it several times and it is probably what I'll use when I make dividers for my Maverick when it comes in.

A 1/4" steel cable (for example) has a working load limit of 1400 lbs, and that's at a 5x Safety Factor. The weak point in the system is most likely the mounting points or the cable crimp. Cable can only be loaded in tension. When you rigid mount like this remember the saying "Force follows...

Well, I know I don't need a pair. I know people that weigh more than 217 lbs and I'd let them stand or sit on the tailgate. I find it interesting you don't seem to mention the loading and unloading of the motorcycle as the reason, when that scenario has more loading. Not only the weight of the...

The tailgate sees "SOME" of the weight when the bike is loaded, but not much, and will see the most loading when you are unloading and loading the bike dues to your ramp setup. Looking at your pictures I doubt the tailgate is going to bounce around when your bikes are loaded since your rear tire...

What is the point of this? Are the cables not rated to take that load? If so, why would you go to a rigid mount instead of just replacing the cables? I can only imagine you are doing this for loading and unloading purposes, since that's the only time the tailgate would see any amount of weight...

I understand that. We used a local guy for a long time, but moved to SCS for those very reasons.

Looks Great! I use SendCutSend all the time at work. They are fantastic. You can get carbon fiber cut through them now and the quality is excellent.
