  1. Thermal camera view of my Maverick's heated seats & steering wheel

    Mmmmm... for that instant diarrhea pants feeling! 😜 Lol, honestly want to love it, but when I get in my wifes car with heated seats that is always my thought. She turns the passenger seat on by default and like 5 minutes into the ride I'm thinking... "Did I loose control of my bowels? Ohh yeah...
  2. T-Bone accident at red light. Can it be fixed if so how much?

    ☹️, well I will now make sure my camera transfers cars the moment I pick it up. If not for your post, I likely would'nt have thought of it either.
  3. T-Bone accident at red light. Can it be fixed if so how much?

    Front and rear no less. I have one with front and rear on my current car. Hoping to find one with wireless magnetic rear cam when my Maverick comes. The ability to move the rear camera mount freely seems like it would be great for different hauling loads as depending on load & bed...
  4. T-Bone accident at red light. Can it be fixed if so how much?

    Sorry to hear this, it sucks, but it seems you are ok and that is good news! I highly recommend a dashcam for anyone on the road! You can get one for like $30 now and that is the cheapest added insurance available.
  5. 2nd oil change at 9782 miles, and some thoughts

    I think I paid about $15 for 5 quarts synthetic and $8 per filter. Stocked up for about 5 changes and I change about once a year (<5000 miles a year) For me it isn't about $$$, its about too many schmucks doing dumb things like cross threading, breaking covers/guards, etc. Time wise its a...
  6. Lower Octane Fuel

    OP, are you now sorry for asking? 😆 The subject you inquired about is related to a long line of questions that often spawn heated debate on the internet with no definitive answer. Good gas / bad gas stations fuel system cleaner / premium gass Fuel system cleaner X vs cleaner X Read the manual...
  7. Where are we at on adding additional seat cushioning / firmness

    I said that because I was thinking it narrows my 230lbs onto a still large but more focussed area 😆. The OP mentioned being smaller and having issue with the soft seat toward the back so I guess I was trying to relate, but in hindsight I could have left that detail out. I agree with dont walk...
  8. Where are we at on adding additional seat cushioning / firmness

    Just because I said athletically built doesn't mean I'm saying suffer forever or that you should think my body will adapt quicker or better. I have herniated discs and other issues that have made the science of seating very prominent in my life. I've also had fancy office chair ergonomics...
  9. Where are we at on adding additional seat cushioning / firmness

    No seat in any car has been comfortable for me. 6'5" 230lbs athletically built. I have found over the years that my body will adjust and adapt to the seat of my daily driver. Muscles not used to working while sitting in my old seat now learn to bear a little weight. Ones that were used to...
  10. The Continentals are Junk: Gotta Go. 3 flats 3,000 miles

    I hate having to swap tires out before they're worn. Hoping to drive mine down in summer months and keeping the wheels off my old car for the winter. Heck, I may just keep the whole old car vs selling for scrap value. Nothing like a car you give zero 🤬's about for bad weather and other...
  11. Dealer says “NO”. Why Not ? (I want full size vs small spare/wheel)

    Many cars now a days are built without room or planning of a spare or donut. Think because so many dont use them. Leaves more room for engineers to put other stuff. I get your concern with the donut, but its really only supposed to limp you to a service station, on side roads if necessary...
  12. Hood size too large

    Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to get something to help you there. There are lots of devices, wireless cameras or wireless parking sensors, that would be a cheap and easy parking aid. Many people shy away from DIY and aftermarket, but there is allot to be said for a $50 replacable device not...
  13. 2024 Maverick Clean Up Scheduling This Week (9/28/23) for Production Weeks 11/6 - 11/27

    Supposedly I'm the next Eco at my dealer and an XL. Scheduled on July 18th first thing in AM. Wondering if rollover XL hybrids are still eating up all the XL trim. My and my dealers original logic was that an early ECO XL order would be ok. However, I'm now wondering if rollovers will take all...
  14. Gonna need to visit the body shop again

    18 years ago I did this with the tail end of an adjustable wrench on my tailgate. Had no clue I was doing PDR. Not really hard... save yourself a couple hundo and add a tool to the toolbox in the process. Its no wonder everything is overly expensive now a days. We convince everyone that things...
  15. Can you unlock navigation with forscan if you have a maverick lariat?

    Agreed. What is the reason for wanting built in Nav? Since the dawn of NAV is just seemed a bad idea and always functioned / updated as a very sub par experience. Dedicated phone for the car has crossed my mine as a cubby option.
  16. What happens when you sell to CarMax

    Just baffles me a bit someone somewhere is eating the losses in these transactions. I guess I theory it could be less loss than a rental if you're in a bind. But as a thrifty person, I'm always curious about the scenario. I'm guessing that dealer didnt buy it back without margin of at least...
  17. Gonna need to visit the body shop again

    Or glass half full... You're now part way to stippling your car like a golf ball for even more aerodynamic MPG. 🤷‍♂️
  18. Maverick Raptor Style Grille w/Color-Matched FORD Lettering

    Ford should be paying you to drive around like that!
  19. Leveled vs Lowered Maverick Side by Side Comparison

    I'll bet there is a good crowd of people who would find this very functional. People with accessibility issues or older crowd who wants ease of entry. At the same time they want to keep the versatility of a truck for hauling. I could imagine another 20 years from now I'd ❤️ what this mod would...
