Our FX4 with the 4K towing rides nice. It was delivered with about 40 psi I lowered it to 34 and noticed a slight difference in the ride and an improvement in the winter driving. We also found a stretch of highway that had perpendicular lines in it that gave the Maverick fits. I changed...

When I get to the point where I need to get rid of used oil I usually have 10-20 gallons of it. Most places will only take 5 gallons max. I have found that Advanced Auto near me will take all I have if their tank has room. I have only seen their tank near full once. They also take used oil...

In the "messier" times of year I do. I have the unlimited plan at the local car wash and for me it is simple to just run it through the car wash.

I purchased 3 cars from out of state. Two from Granger and a Subaru in NJ. I live in Texas. You can take your Maverick to any Ford dealer, in your country, for warranty repairs. In fact, most dealers will want your warranty business even if you did not buy the car from them. The service...

It is easy to tell which responses fall into which of the three groups (Way to add a third group Scott). Simplified: Group 1: Likes car washes Group 2: Hates car washes Group 3: Why wash a car

I have run our Maverick through the car wash with brushes and it has been fine in my opinion. In car wash opinions, especially ones with brushes spinning about, there are two groups of folks. Group 1. Folks like me, I just don't care if the paint is getting micro scratches. I would rather run...

The seat was comfortable for the 13 day trip. I have had some cars that I would not say that about and some that were better. No complaints from me. FYI, I am 6'7" and 310lbs - so I am I guess average sized. My wife is 5'2" (I don't even want to guess her weight that never goes well in a...

I got the Iowa transfer title from Granger the day after we finished the trip. I got the Maverick inspected. Took all the paperwork including my insurance to the county tax office (Montgomery for me) and told the lady I have no idea what to do. She had me fill out a form and pay the taxes...

FYI, My mileage ranged from 26 mpg to 34 mpg on the trip. 26 mpg is when going over 70, which I think is great. 34 was driving across Canada where the speed limits were 62 and under. For diving in Canada it is nice to be able to change the digital speed readout to KPH.

The issue is many fold. Ford is using the deep sleep mode is to save enough energy in your battery to allow you to start your Maverick when the parasitic losses would otherwise leave you with a dead battery. That is a good thing. With the increasing electronics and technologies on cars these...

Granger had my recall done before I picked it up.

No it was Jan 7th. I think this was the last day of their seasonal lights and fireworks. I found if I take lots of pics during fireworks, I might get lucky and get a good one. Thanks.

The Corning Glass Museum was not on our list of places to go but I noticed we were driving right by there so we decided to make a stop. Honestly I thought we would spend 10 minutes there and be done. However, we found it to be really fascinating and after a few hours we ran out of time. We did...

We were on the Canada side. The fireworks picture was from our balcony at the Crown Plaza. I was surprised that the rates are relatively low in the winter. I do like going places during the off season to get lower rates and no lines.

You are right. Thanks. I fixed the wording to add province.

Thanks, fixed

I really wanted to but with limited time I had to decide Ford F150 plant or Niagara Falls. I went with making my wife happy and she promised that we can come back to Michigan. The truck has been washed twice since we have been home.

We flew from Houston Texas to Des Moines Iowa and picked up our new Maverick at Granger Ford. This is my second truck to buy from them the other is a F150. Everything went well and as expected. Granger has the process streamlined and there are no surprises. They do not try to add in stuff you...

Sadly not for FX4.

You are correct, except it is fairly easy to define by looking at the friction formulas. Friction force (think acceleration traction) = Friction Coefficient (determined by tire type in this video) X Normal force (the weight of the car acting on the driven tires) For determining the the...
