  1. Rear ended Maverick hit so badly it flips.

    I'd like to say I'm surprised to see such a horrendous crash, but people are too pre-occupied and some, just plainly stupid and irresponsible to be allowed on the public roadways. Sure, I say this, but after having been rear-ended, almost run into too many times to count, and recently watch two...
  2. 2025 Maverick Reveal & Order Banks Open on August 1st!

    Of course, those models which they can profit from the most are escalated for production the fastest. If that's true, that's quite sad.
  3. Dealer Doesn't perform Scheduled Maintennace?!

    An earlier poster is correct, the "Works" package, and pretty much any service in the shop often garners a multi-point inspection when tires and brakes are checked. Every Ford dealership I have worked at has performed them with virtually every visit to the shop at no additional charge. It's...
  4. Dealer claim they put the standard spray in bed???

    It's more than obvious, they're full of S***! That's a factory applied spray-in liner -- no question! And $150 for wheel locks? Does that include free lifetime replacement of the key if they or another shop fail to place it back in the vehicle when they service your vehicle? I'd also like to...
  5. New 2025 Spied Tremor pics

    Still, WTF with that updated fascia. Inspiration from the current F150 should have been beneficial.
  6. New chrome wheels and tires installed

    Always nice to see someone choose a wheel option other than black or bronze. Chrome wheels against a black truck always looks sharp!
  7. Aftermarket Axles: Show your interest!

    I constantly say, for all the "real world" testing they claim to have done to products prior to release it seems there's more than a few things which tend to fail that one reasonably expects to have been caught during the "testing" period. A great example of this being the cold climate issues...
  8. Aftermarket Axles: Show your interest!

    Great job reaching out to vendors to address these issues. For those with lifts, larger tires, and actually take their Mavericks off road, where these components are taxed beyond daily driver usage, these options could be a potential saver in the way of downtime and repeated expense.
  9. CEO Jim Farley says Americans need to fall ‘back in love’ with smaller cars

    Then the manufacturers need to stop producing larger and larger vehicles. How often does a new model grow almost into, if not into, the next class for the next generation? If they want to talk weight, thank government crash mandates, not size of vehicle. After all, it's often been cited that...
  10. Word of Warning for the Charlotte, NC Area

    And this BS is why people hate dealerships. It's why they get referred to as "Stealerships." Sure, some are honest and consistent, but others are total rip-off artists. And don't get me wrong -- most are rip-off artists, it's probably just not that obvious they're doing it, but they probably...
  11. 13.2" screen SYNC 4 upgrade (so long, cubby!)

    I hate to say it, but as glitchy as my radio has been, and with the issues I've seen in the shop, which for some reason seem to come more in waves than steadily, I have to say I'll pass.
  12. Ecoboost battery died

    I don't know who manufactures Motorcraft batteries, it's certainly not direct out of a Ford factory, and that said, Interstate might be made to a different standard since it's their name and reputation on their product, not a contract to lowest bidder.
  13. Ecoboost battery died

    But that was its age when my Maverick came in. I never changed the battery while I owned it.
  14. 2025 Maverick Lariat Facelift Refresh (Possibly Lobo) Spied in Black

    I don't care what they come out with, with that front end the answer is the same, nope!
  15. Ecoboost battery died

    I too have typically had good luck with OE batteries, and replaced few in my lifetime, often trading in the vehicle before I ever replaced one. The battery in our Cherokee bought it after five years, the Ram I traded in for my Maverick was seven and still original. Not wanting to undergo the...
  16. Ecoboost battery died

    This is interesting information. So why is it so many people are having problems w/ AGM batteries with vehicles that are being operated daily?
  17. Ecoboost battery died

    As I mentioned elsewhere, AGM batteries don't impress me. They've been failing prematurely since day one. It is not just a Ford issue either. However, I will go on the record to say I have seen a number of regular wet batteries fail in a year's time, too. These have not been the OE batteries...
  18. John Deere Green 2024 Tremor Maverick with MRT side exhaust

    JD green pops on the black. Now imagine how those accents could also look on the Eruption Green!
  19. Last Ford I buy

    But the AGM batteries are the ones we're replacing most often. I don't know what it is about them or the vehicles they're in, but they're not holding up, in my opinion. I recall when the Continental first started rolling out. We had several of them with dead batteries. In fact, one of our...
  20. Last Ford I buy

    It's funny you mention the battery. We've seen more than a few issues, but scouring the net and used vehicle service histories I find there's a lot of vehicle from multiple manufacturers that have had batteries replaced within only a couple years. I don't know specifically what that cause is...
