Well dang then, sign me up for 1 of those, Would be a great addon fo a vacation to Portland, already got the skidplates if the hoodlum "Antifa" scum want to riot, we need a citizen brigade of lifted trucks with bullbars to shove/transport/herd the rioters away.

Toyota probably won't be developing any new models for a couple years now, the F35A V6 in Tundra, Highlander is the beginning of a shit storm, an official recall is inevitable it's spun main bearings & Toyota is still claiming "machining debris" but the engine replacements are now going out to...

I did not know the 2025 FWD is also using the HF55 hybrid transmission. I would then think that the 2025 FWD would get slightly worse mileage than 2024 simply for the HF55 being a bit heavier from its increased electrical power capacity over HF45. But all else equal, there is no question IMO...

1 inch = 2.54 cm

I went with Krown too, 1st time doing it. $170 Finding undercoating places south of Kentucky-Indiana border is rare, I got it done in Northern Indiana. I did it because my recent 1st trip to Upstate New York I saw newish vehicles with chunks of car missing that I had no idea was possible -...

Japanese & Korean cultures have a lot of emphasis on building their brand over the long term, not taking short-cuts. Mainland Chinese culture has been permanently destroyed by the Cultural Revolution famine era, where even storing food because of severe endemic shortages would get you...

Modern Engines, gearboxes, transmissions, absolutely 100% DO have a break-in period, per "Motor Oil Geek" backed up by 00s of 000s of oil change samples, a properly maintained modern vehicle will have 90% of (piston-ring break in) metal wear during the 1st 10,000 miles. Modern PCU & ECU...

Yeahhhhh Im almost gonna Google "4T80e transmission" to verify, but "sealed transmission" does not mean what it logically sounds like - "sealed transmissions" are not really sealed, they have an ATF fluid fill plug, they just dont have a fluid drain plug but calling them a "drainplug-less...

Wow thats some really good informative, where are you getting HVB temperature data, is this the Forscan app paired with whatever bluetooth OBD2 driver Forscan uses? I think I get HVB SOC on Bluedriver app, uses a bluetooth OBD2 dongle, its not supposed to work on hybrids, refused to connect to...

The challenge wirh electric power delivery & capacity is that they are not linerar. E vs will be fine for the majority of people who do commutes to and from work, but you start hauling a load, and range starts dropping like a rock with temperatures. Double the battery capacity might almost...

When you gonna bring out the full on Mad Max Maverick? How about Mad Max wheelhub spikes to tear up the biker gang coming after you. And a rear sport bar with a turret-mounted M240 chain-fed automatic rifle, gotta do that too. What about expanded plate-steel guarding on the windshield &...

Grand Cherokees have always been unibody is anyone scared of a bull bar on a 1st gen Grand Cherokee the ones that regularly drive Moab Utah? In any case I think a bull bar ahould protect from 90% of crash damage - stripmall parking lots at under 30mph. I would like a bullbar with basic outline...

I have XL which has no ACC and does have emergency braking using the camera. Unless the higher trims with ACC are tying in the LIDAR transciever in the grill into the emergency braking controller loop, then the brush guard is doing zero zilch nada to the Maverick emergency braking system. It is...

The US now does have lithium mines, see Navada Stock ticker name LAC I believe is one.

There is no "leaving it idling" for hybrids, with the key on & not driving the hybrid traction battery will be charging the 12VDC battery which will be running AC or whatever if its on. Only when the traction battery is fully depleted from charging the 12VDC battery running the AC & music or...

Dude no, thats exactly what my 2025 hybrid awd was getting January new, 30mpg on the highway I posted here freaking out, 2500 miles the mpg started getting way better by 3000 miles I was getting 50 & 60 mpg around town. PCU runs a richer fuel-air mix until piston rings are fully broken in, this...

This is normal it happens to ALL Maverick hybrids before they are fully broken in, until you get the engine broken in, that is what you get 30-33mpg 1200 miles it could say 25mpg and its breakin period running rich, Dont even look at mpg until absolute earliest 2000 miles its always gonna be...

Per "Engineering Explained" lecture on pil viscosity, you can safely (won't damage but will change mpg or wear rate) go UP with the 1st # to a grade below the 2nd #, &/or DOWN on the 2nd # to a grade above the 1st # (which 0W-5 does not exist but oh well) So you can safely go to 5W-40 from...

I thought the headlamps & running lights in Mavericks are LED modules they should last 10 years if they dont they are expensive to replace. Or were Mavs using halogen bulbs for 2022-2024 models?

Dude what model is that with recovery hooks, can those be ordered & bolted onto Hybrid XL? Should be the same unibody chassis unless an extra crossmember was bolted to standard unibody for recovery hooks?
