Yeah, I have that enabled but it doesn't work all the time. There's another security setting that disables usb file access if the phone hasn't been unlocked within an hour. That sounds plausible because I would usually have checked the phone when I picked it up but not always. So we'll see if...

Sometimes I have to unlock the phone for the Android auto to work. Most of the time I don't.

The market will figure out what the price of the Maverick should be. It was clearly too low the first couple of years. If it's too high now, they will stop selling and get marked down. They would rather have to mark them down than leave money on the table selling them too low and not having...

This isn't accurate. The vehicle goes through different stages of turning things off. The interior lights will stop working before it goes into battery saver mode which disables the telematics. On an ecoboost, the first thing to go is the auto stop/start. Most people say that it's based on...

Well I joined the battery maintainer club and have been leaving it hooked up whenever I am home. Today I went to get in after having it sit for 8 days and still got no lights or screens when I opened the door. GRRRR. Yes, it's hooked up correctly with the negative not directly to the battery...

It had 50 more hp than it needed so subtracting 12 isn't really an issue.

Getting the tiny amounts of data needed to get the status of the truck or pass on a command to start it is something you can do like a text message over the cell network. It'll wager it's much cheaper for Ford to have that very limited cell service that is never going to move any real data...

When I went looking for a pickup 13 years ago, I was sure I wanted a regular cab with an 8' bed like what I had learned to drive in. I couldn't find an 8' bed S10 or Ranger so I settled for an extended cab and 6' bed. I learned pretty quickly the 6' bed could do pretty much whatever an 8' bed...

Yes. And it's apparently gotten worse because I drove it for a half hour 9 hours ago and the lights didn't come on just now. That's ridiculous.

If my ecoboost sits for four days the lights will not come on either. It's not just the hybrids. I've never gotten a deep sleep notification though.

I make it a habit to put away any carts I come anywhere near and tidy up the corral. Leave the parking lot better than I found it. Create some good parking lot karma and seeing how lazy people are drives me nuts. But it's also as if people go out of their way to fill the corral with as few...

If my ecoboost sits for more than 3-4 days, when you open the door to get in the interior lights don't turn on. Only the infotainment screen turns on for about a second before turning back off. I'm assuming this is about protecting the battery. I understand not turning all the screens on, but...

2001 S10 extended cab. I miss the 6' bed and being able to just throw 12' boards in the back without a care. The bed was also easier to reach into with the sides being a little lower. But the ride to and from the lumberyard sure is a lot better in the Mav.

Get a second opinion. Sometimes dealerships want to throw thousands of your dollars at a problem they don't understand.

Except that the Maverick XL with aftermarket seat covers also fits that arbitrary list and I'm pretty sure you could get some pretty sweet seats for less than $8k if that was really all you cared about. Is it "complaining" to point that out? There are also not black and white answers to...

There are no mounting points on the front wall of the bed. The only thing I'm aware of that won't involve drilling into the truck would be a front molle panel. https://www.jcroffroad.com/product/MVFMP-1G.html

Baltic Birch ply is fun to deal with. Even with a 6' bed you still have to angle it. The yard I go to will give you one free cut per sheet, so yeah I usually have them cut it in half or whatever else works for what I need. Full 5'x5' sheets suck to move around by yourself anyway.

No, your logic is flawed. Most of the cars on the roads don't even have any of this technology. You would have to look only at the cars that have those features and compare their accident rates to those without them. Like this However, the fact is that traffic fatalities per capita were...

The reason why you turn it the wrong way is because you are used to the PRNDL display on the dash where the letters stay in the same place and you move the indicator to the correct letter. On the dial shifter it's the opposite. Your brain is constantly being given a display that is the...

I've done it before going down the highway during the transition from day to night when I was much younger and had rarely ever been driving during that time period. This was before DRLs so there was no light coming from my car at all. I was just cruising along and could see the taillights in...
