There are always a variety of conditions from which people form their opinions. On whether or not you need snow tires to whether or not you truly need AWD/4WD.
Where we operate our vehicles isn't the same all over, nor are the vehicles, roads, temperatures..... But when you need something and...
Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the milder winter so far.
Who has already replaced their OE Continentals for tires a bit more compatible with New York conditions? If you haven't, what have been your impressions with the Conti's on your Maverick in the snow?
I planned on...
I basically agree with your statement.
That said, they surely could have spent a little more here and there to soften the ride just a touch, but they had always said that they wanted it to feel like a truck -- and that's how it feels.
Sure, they could have added better door speakers to give...
Mine moves around quite a bit in the wash too. Hasn't done anything which indicates potential damage yet, but I watch it each time.
I know from talking with a district manager at the local wash, they have dozens upon dozens of cameras there to document if vehicles have come in with damage...
Nice looking Maverick. It's kind of a shame Ford didn't do a little more to the Tremor pkg to give it more identity as you have done with your mods. The extra inch lift, larger tires, different exhaust outlet.... The bumper and decals from the factory do something to visually set it apart...
Looks pretty nice. I'd love to see if someone has painted the plastic trim on the bed rails to match prior to installing a cap. I think it would help blend the look a bit vs. the notable black division between body and cap.
Oh, I'd be pissed too! Did you ever pay a deposit towards that order? If so, and they went ahead and sold it without notifying you it came in, I'd say you'd have some sort of legal recourse. Depending upon the state's laws, perhaps for them to produce another vehicle matching your order, or...
Yes, the Azure color almost had me thinking of ordering a '24, but since they've become more available I think resale wouldn't have been what I'd have liked. I happy with mine though, even though I hadn't originally planned on ordering a white vehicle I'm glad I stuck with it.
Can't go wrong with the Destination AT2s. Got a couple inches here yesterday so it gave me my first chance to see if they performed as well one my Maverick as they did on my Ram. With what we had, light and fluffy w/ some slush and ice underneath. They were just as good as I expected. I...
Good to see when an article gets the gist of what the Maverick is/supposed to be correct. There's far too many online hack sites which point to what they call "problems" or flaws with the Maverick, but they aren't either addressing the matter from reality or the fact that it's not in...
I wouldn't be overly worried about the hood/fender gap until someone looked at it. Could just be the way the panel flexed upon impact. At least you're okay and the vehicle isn't severely damaged.
I worry about deer too. As someone else posted about NY deer.... Yeah, they're big, and I...
I'm on the south side of Sheridan Drive near parker, in the 14223. Last winter had a few weeks which were a challenge if you hadn't decent tread on your tires. The Christmas/weekend blizzard being a prime example.
For our conditions -- real winter conditions and potential for extreme...
For someone in a region that gets real winter conditions and doesn't have the funds to have multiple sets of tires, "all weather" tires make sense. Especially is winter traction is a big concern of yours. Not all of them are that expensive, and they typically also have very competitive mileage...
You can but a simple TPMS tool to reset them yourself on Amazon. A couple guys in the shop have bought them for when they don't want to get the shop tool. Otherwise, if you're paying someone to install the wheels/tires they should be resetting them before pulling out of the shop for you.
Great that you've been able to walk away from that. Sorry that you lost your Maverick though.
My wife had a similar hit in her Escape, basically bent the entire vehicle; but that same portion of the vehicle took the hit, and the door had to be ripped open, but she pretty much walked away with...
