FWIW, I think the undercarriage cover (aka skid pad) is useful despite the fact that you will spend 5-8 extra minutes each time to...
My expectation was met, don't take me wrong. But still, why some cars (mainly Toyota and Honda-made) can give you that smooth effortless door closer but for American-made cars you just have to slam it? Some cars like the German ones do need more force to close the doors, but then because the...
Ok, I get it, this is a cheap vehicle, not a Lexus, so don't expect a smooth door-closing experience. On the other hand, I feel there is something we can do to improve the door-closing experience. One thing I feel is that the door can add some sound damping and weight. I am not sure what the 2nd...
So I was watching Donut videos on YouTube about using relay attacks to steal cars with keyless push-button for starting. I wonder if they physical keys in Maverick XLT or below actually will make this method useless (cause you need a key to start). Thoughts?
Hey @14mustangNJ: is it easy to install the Perimeter Plus Add-on yourself or it's something better to leave to the dealer to handle? Also, what's a faraday bag/box?
Lastly, how do you install the front/rear dash cam? Did you do the constant power wiring or you just hired someone to do it for...
@MakingDoForNow AKA James:
"The interest rate is not as important as is the time the money is borrowed"
can you elaborate on this one? I recon what you mean is that you should do business as usual and not wait till the interest drops. Right?
So were you able to make some more money from your trade? I am thinking the same thing. I I am thinking of going to the dealer and changing my 24 order to a Lariat. If I can somehow make my 23 XLT a net positive of a few thousand dollars, that will make the additional cost of a Lariat...
Ok, I just want to understand it better and get my math right.
so let's use this as an example: https://www.carvana.com/vehicle/2811805
It has only 838 miles so we can say it's practically new. MSRP + TTL for a base XLT would be around $24,900 MSRP+$1600 Destination 2000 TTL = $28,500, and if...
I've seen almost 100 near-new Mavericks being available on the Carvana website. Many of them have less than 1,000 miles. Of course, they are above the MSRP but not by a whole lot. So my question is why did the seller let go of these trucks at such low mileage? I don't see if they are making a...
800 miles per tank?!! How?!!!
The reason I am asking is to find out more about the techniques in achieving better gas milage. It seems the key to that is 1- try to do more electric driving and 2- slow acceleration and easier braking, any other tips?
I see most commonly a full tank will get you about 560 miles on a Hybrid, which is not bad at all. But 600 miles per tank is a very nice rounded number to have.
If you can routinely get that, what's your trick of driving (are you hypermiling)?
Hmmm, so I get your point and your lack of confidence in Ford's commitment to long-term reliability is pretty universal in here. I think people who bought Honda Ridgelines and Toyota Tacoma / Tundras generally don't worry about their trucks as much. Even though those trucks may still have...
Understand. I think for driving long periods of time on freeways or highways this function helps reduce driver fatigue which will help reduce accidents.
