Well the bumper cover, grill, and headlights ought to be worth a fortune to anyone that hates the new front end on the 25s.

The last couple of weeks I was daily driving a different route that was all backroads, mostly 45 to 55 mph with some short 30-35 zones mixed in and virtually no stopping. My awd ecoboost was reporting 33.5 mpg on that drive, compared to the 24 I usually get in the city. And that is with a...

You need to take a deposit before you do any work.

I don't think it's a question of how many do you build before you start selling them but how long after the production line is up and running do you start selling them and what do you do with the factory during that time. Once you have the assembly line up and running, you don't want to build...

There have certainly been members who have bought Mavs that became available instead of waiting for their order. It would just depend on the individual dealer or the customer being proactive. I had a similar lucky Maverick buy a few months ago. By old truck failed inspection on a Tuesday and...

What's with the little circular indent on the corner under the headlight? There is no way that's the final look.

I think the author is confused. Those colors became fleet only on just the XL trim level this year. Why would Ford make a change to paint colors this late in the model year? I can still go to the Ford website and build an XLT in those colors but the article says they are not available now.

Well they get in the backseat of the Mav and then the backseat of the Taco and ask why the bigger truck is smaller on the inside. People who dismiss the Mav don't understand this and might come into a video like that expecting the Taco to be better in every way when the video shows it only...

And you are sure that Ford has not value engineered the fuel pump for the expected duty cycle like they have every other part on the truck and you've measured the fuel pump temperature to confirm that it doesn't get hot?

I saw you ignoring good advice. Simply offering up another viewpoint for anyone else to consider. The gas tank is part of a complex system in every modern vehicle and the fuel pump uses fuel for cooling in every vehicle. The vehicle does its best to protect you from yourself and survive to...

Overfilling the gas tank is bad for the EVAP system. The fuel tank is bigger than where the gas pump shuts off for a reason. Running the tank all the way down to empty is bad for the life of the fuel pump. The pump uses the fuel for cooling. Less fuel, less cooling. It's your truck so do...

Got it installed! This is the TracRac TracOne with 5.5" cut off the height and 10" cut off the crossbars. Height is set to match a roof rack that's not installed. Got it for about $300 open box off Amazon. The roof rack was $220. It flexes pretty bad so I am going to try to stiffen it up...

Yeah, I got the plastic trim off. There are three bolt heads along the length of the bed and I guarantee that is what is holding up your rail and not the plastic supports. I could see where they just folded in half where I clamped down mine. There's no bolt head near the cab so that's the...

If you mean the raised part around the outside, I tried that with an extra strip of rubber on the lower section of the plastic, because there's about an extra half inch of the base that sticks into the truck bed if you don't. But I tried moving it further in as well without any real change...

I'm in the process of installing a different model of Tracrac that doesn't have the rails. I've learned it's impossible to properly torque the clamps holding it without crushing the plastic which has a large void under it. With the rails you have spreading out the load I guess you're able to...

No, it isn't. Read the sticker on the driver's door frame. It tells you right there where it gives the payload rating that it includes occupants and cargo.

His transmission didn't wear out because of lack of maintenance but his RDU did:

Funny story about front plates. Back when I was in high school my state did not require front plates, but they do now. My dad's '89 Toyota pickup I was driving did have a front plate on it anyway, most cars did. Was on the way to school on a winter day with some snow on the ground and some...

I'm really impressed that they figured out a way to make me hate the front end of it even more than I did before.

You get 2 anchor points near the cab that are up near the rails, two near the tailgate that are a few inches above the bed floor, and two on the tailgate. You are missing the D-rings in the floor near the cab and another pair of anchors near the tailgate that are up higher. You get pretty...
