I did my first oil change as soon as I drove it home....But I did drive 4,087 miles on the way home.

I was really hoping you were going to prove me wrong in my own state of Texas. Rats, I was right...

I think that when you have to file on your own insurance they do not pay out for diminished value. Hopefully someone will prove me wrong.

I have made a diminished value claim before. FYI there are companies that provide expert values for a diminished value claim. They can help you through the process. For example these folks: https://tigerdv.com/index.html

Getting garden mulch. I was surprised when we asked for 1/2 a Cubic yard and we got over 3/4 yard.

This is my 9th pickup and it is sitting next to my 8th pickup that is a 23 F150. The F150 is my first with a 6 cylinder and my Maverick is my first 4 cylinder.

Interesting...I bought a Maverick for my wife because it is a small pickup. The mid-sized ones were too big.

I agree with the OP that a salesperson should either know the answer or look it up if they don't or just say I don't know. It is frustrating to get uninformed answers that have a 50-50 chance of being right. I learned about 45 years ago that car salesperson in general knows very little about...

I think the Honda Ridgeline is starting to look better as they update it. It is looking more like a scaled up Maverick.

I am old enough to have learned a few things. First look at any car forum and you will go away thinking that it is the worse car ever based on the vocal few on the forums. Next Confirmation Biased Thinking is alive and well in the auto industry. For example my in-laws in the 80s bought a...

My wife has made it clear that all our cars and trucks need to be 4WD or AWD. We don't need it often but when we do it is great to have it. When we are on vacation - we look for the back roads. FYI the FX4 EB did great in the blizzards we went through in Canada and the US (Tennessee was the...

Things to think about.... All the stuff you take camping can end up weighing a lot. Clothes, food, bikes, toys, cooking stuff, generator, lawn chairs etc. All this ends up growing over time. What distance you plan to travel, are you making short trips vs long trips? Look at the terrain...

My bed extender is the F150 in dark blue. Kind of expensive but worth it.

Hate it when I overthink a solution to a problem....I have been an engineer too long.... Get a large round magnet and attach it in the bottom center of the soft cover. make a coil of copper wire that is a little larger than the diameter of the magnet. Mount the coil of wire to the bed of the...

I have the hard rollup cover and it does not vibrate with the air flow.

Mine took a gallon when I refilled mine.

I used one in Conroe for my F150 - Texan Hitch & Truck Accessories. They did a good job. If you buy a BAK you can look up dealers near you on their website and also find out which ones are preferred and will double your warranty.

26.5 mpg since new 1 month and 5,000 miles ago.

I put in neutral and leave the antenna on when going through the car wash. For all the haters out there - yes it has whirling brushes made out of course sandpaper and I don't care.

Bak Revolver X4s is what I got. I have had the tri-fold and the hard rollup and I much prefer the hard rollup. It is easy to roll up and get out of the way and does not block the rear window. The hard rollup keep our stuff fairly dry and secure from folks that take things that don't belong to...
