Okay. I don't have any issues other than hard braking.

Good to hear. I passed 60,000 miles and was told at my last oil change that I'll need new tires soon but I'm not seeing it in the tread. The wear has been even and though I'll get tires before winter, I think there's at least 20,000 more miles in them (Michelin Defender 2). I'm up north, so not...

My Maverick is 1 inch longer than my Buick Regals I had before. That's crazy.

This. Plus, do this calculation. If you figure the vehicle will last 200,000 miles, purchase cost of $30k would be 15cpm. 300,000 miles would be 10cpm. 15000 miles is $2250 miles of depreciation on a mileage basis. You are only truly saving maybe $1250 in value of the vehicle. Two years less...

I have Michelin Defender 2. 18in on the Lariat. Best price I see installed is just over $1,000. I don't know if I want to go cheap on tires. I'm at 62,000 miles on the originals with pretty nice tread wear. Getting new ones before winter. Probably next oil change.

I helped a friend move about ten miles on entirely flat ground. Between my trailer and all of his stuff in one trip, I know I was over 2000 pounds towing AND over for payload in the truck. Just ran in L, slow acceleration, and very controlled, very slow and judicious braking. No following close...

I rented a Lexus that had what would be a 10 inch tablet in the middle and it was a pain to operate while driving. Such a waste of space. That and it was impossible to use for navigator through android auto as it didn't want to use the full screen.

I see them all the time now. That make sense.

Drunk driving should be charged as attempted manslaughter. Just because he hit a car instead of a person doesn't make the deadliness of their actions any less. They just got lucky.

No. If it's Android Auto, it wants to run audio through Bluetooth. With it plugged in and using Android auto it will keep turning it back on. The data cable is for charging and displaying the navigation screen and any apps. Since the truck has no computer running the screen to use the phones...

Mine cools so quickly that I rarely run it on LO for much longer than a few minutes when I first get in

22 Lariat with Michelins. To 62k and still going strong. Great even wear but will replace before winter.

22 Lariat Hybrid. 62k miles. Love it so far. Lifetime over 40mpg. Only real complaint is that it sounds like I have a warped rotor that's going to need replaced earlier than it should.

Tire retreading would become a huge business. Already is for commercial trucks, but for cars it would take off.

This entire discussion and tax plan is ridiculous. The federal government, and state governments, already have an existing way to levy tax on use. If they goal is to get people to drive more efficient vehicles, it would behoove them to favor higher-efficient vehicles in taxes. Decide how much...

I originally planned on a 2022 Velocity Blue. But when I went to the dealership to actually make my real reservation, I swapped to an Area 51. I had a very bright blue Hyundai and though I liked it, I didn't like how it 'dulled' whenever it was dirty. Figured the Velocity Blue would do the...

Yes, it locks out at a certain speed. Not sure what exactly because I swear it changes. But anything over 10mph it's probably not going to let you enter text UNLESS you were already in the text field before that. But as stated, your phone still works for it. And the voice to text feature works...

Because your statement about the auto-start-stop is entirely false. The hybrid doesn't have a starter to 'spin up' the engine every time to needs to run. The two motors are in the transmissions. When it runs, it can engage the engine to begin turning with the rotation of the transmission and...

Yep. Can't have the hitch just sitting in the unused bed. People gotta know this truck is used as a truck so let's put an obnoxious 3 ball hitch in the receiver and leave it there until it rusts solid into it.

F-50. I like the Maverick name, but it could've been a better name option. Especially a previously unused one by the same manufacturer. But that's just me. Canyonero would've been a nice juxtaposition.
