  1. Lobo Review: Delivered Production Model

    "Where is the V8". Really? I could see maybe sticking a 2.7L EB V6 in it. But we all know that'll never happen either...
  2. This post is not about tariffs...

    The simple answer is that nobody knows what will happen. Literally NOBODY.
  3. Best all around "readily available" oil for the 2.0 Ecoboost?

    Just use full synthetic oil that meets the required specifications. Because it was cheaper than anything else here, I recently bought O'Reilly Auto Parts full synthetic oil for mine, and have always used Wix filters. Brand of oil does not matter, as long as it meets specs and you change it at...
  4. Taking a moment - Hail damage on 3 week old 2024 Maverick Lariat

    So hail isn't an "act of god"? Sounds like the company is saying the owner caused the hail, and it's his fault. I seriously doubt if denying coverage like this is even legal. I'd like to see how that policy reads.
  5. Rear License Plate Issues?

    You can use it anywhere. I used it on the rear. Just drill a few holes in new locations, then use the self tapping screws to attach the bracket. The plate mounts to the bracket with 4 machine scews. All the hardware is stainless steel. It is absolutely perfect for the Maverick!
  6. Rear License Plate Issues?

    This bracket is what you need. Worked great for me. BGGTMO License Plate Bracket Holder
  7. Update: Auto tariffs suspended 1-month

    Yeah you did. There has been a 2.5% tariff on importing Japanese cars to the U.S. (25% on trucks), just about forever. You didn't even notice it. Because a tariff won't appear on an invoice. It's built into the MSRP.
  8. Update: Auto tariffs suspended 1-month

    Under Sleepy Joe, the Dow dropped 25% between 1-1-22 and 9-30-22. How come nobody was in a panic then?
  9. Update: Auto tariffs suspended 1-month

    The manufacturer or importer sets the MSRP, which will include the tariff. Tariff is paid when the vehicle or its parts cross the border(s). It is not up the dealer to collect the tariff from anybody.
  10. Losing traction on ice slush

    Is it AWD? If so turning off the traction control will probably help. But yes, the stock tires are only good for 70° dry weather.
  11. Has anyone tried to order a new maverick and has been told that will be 25% more due to the tariffs?

    They can't tell you anything. Nobody knows. And nobody is going to pay 25% more for a Maverick. If you do, you are nuts! You'll be looking at a $50K vehicle (or close to it). No way.
  12. Update: Auto tariffs suspended 1-month

    All I was trying to say is that you won't see a line-item called "Tarrif" on a new vehicle window sticker or invoice. It does not work that way. Japanese cars have been subjected to US tarrifs forever. Have you ever seen that on a window sticker? I have not. And it better not show up as a "tax"...
  13. Update: Auto tariffs suspended 1-month

    But tariffs are never applied that way, far as I know. There have been tariffs on thousands of products coming into the U.S, for years. You'll never see it listed as a "tax" on a sales invoice. It's appliied at the border, and it is up to the importerto pay it. If, and how, the importer get the...
  14. Update: Auto tariffs suspended 1-month

    They are rat-bastards, the tarrif hasn't happened yet, and it is not a tax! Stay away from that dealer, they are liars.
  15. Update: Auto tariffs suspended 1-month

    It isn't a "tax". The manufacturer, not the dealer, not the state, not the government decides on price increases due to tarrifs or any other reason. How the tarrif will affect the price the manufacturer decides to charge you, is up to them. Some manufactuers will not change prices immediately...
  16. My fender indent blinker light / turn signal custom DIY mod.

    Those are the best looking ones I've seen! What holds the lens to the housing? I see some drilled holes in the housing. Did you drill and tap holes in the lens for some screws? Also, how do you keep the space behind the lens from filling with water?
  17. 25 Hybrid with valve train tick

    The fuel injectors sound a lot like ticking valves. Very noisy... lots of EFI engines have this noise.
  18. Looking for braided brake lines

    Disagree. I bought off-the-shelf Russell Performance braided SS lines for my Cobra, and they are DOT-approved. They do not show any SS lines for the Maverick, but you could always check.
  19. FORScan 2.3.65 Released. Supports 2025 Maverick

    You can change many factory settings. For example, I used it to make the "stop-start" system default to "off". Removed all the seat belt warning screens and chimes too.
