A lot, and I mean a lot of those 2nd gen prius had headgasket failures so they aren't immune to engine issues

My 2020 base GT was around 36k Msrp (32otd), a new one is approaching 50k. There are heavy discounts right now bringing them down to around 40k, but its just too much money for a vehicle most people aren't going to use as their primary vehicle. The styling is also a bit polarizing so im not...

They need cooling when they're being worked hard, thats why the Tremor has one. Its the reason the Tremor has a 4x4 lock button and the FX4 does not. I mean it probably 99% of use cases an FX4 isn't going to hit temperature protection on the PTU, but the fluid will certainly take more of a...

Oh I dont disagree at all

It would be an issue if the hybrid saw a life on track, but thats about it. I remember the old Taurus SHO with the Yamaha 3.0 and 3.2. With how those were driven you definitely had to check valve clearance and shim as needed every 60k or so. With modern oils especially I wouldn't sweat it.

Yeah I totally gotcha. I figured people who get use out of a bigger truck probably aren't going to act disrespectful to a Mav owner since they know the pain of filling it up 😂 Thats crazy theres so much theft where you live though.

But you clearly have a need for a truck of that size with toys to pull, so theres no need to justify yourself. That counts as work in my book. If I owned anything I had to tow, I probably wouldn't have picked the mav. Especially not the Tremor which is just about worthless for towing 😂

I think some members of "the real truck club" actually get angry and jealous that the Maverick can do a lot of what they use their truck for. Its an unwelcome challenge to their manhood, I guess. I like big trucks, I just dont need or want to pay for one. A normal "big" truck owner can...

I know the employee pricing for all was kind of a smokescreen for the msrp increase, but wow thats wild. 47k otd? I personally would just decide whats more important, eating the cost of the trip, or eating the 2k. Sometimes the principle is more important.

I'm torn on this, because on one hand obviously the tailgate assist is better 99% of the time. But on the other, its satisfying having to drop it yourself for some reason....

I agree after watching it, especially the bit about how his friend with a Wrangler couldn't get up these regular dirt roads lol

It's always fun reading the comments of videos like this, people get so mad for some reason that the "escape with a bed" isn't completely useless.

How come your coolant reservoir looks completely empty?

In my experience going to the dealer and waiting actually takes longer than just doing it myself about 90% of the time, and that even includes disposal of the old oil. But I live fairly close to an auto parts store, so that's not entirely fair. Tire rotations are a different story, but id only...

Even if it doesn't directly sense oil temp, it definitely infers it based on cylinder head temp. Time and mileage are definitely the two main factors, but there are certainly others.

Depends on the gun. My glock? 500rds at the earliest, if im bored. The python gets cleaned every time though. Have to keep it shiny. Just like our trucks, different engines, different usage, and different owners. You really can trust the oil life interval on the truck though. It knows all...

No, if its outfitting 3.4v even after trying to charge it that means some sort of internal failure. New battery and youll be back to normal.

I'm a fluid film guy. Even if you have to reapply every fall, it doesn't take too long and it works very well.

The Tremor is cooler, the Hybrid is more practical. While I don't think the Tremor is some off road beast, it's far more capable than it would seem on paper. Much more capable than most people would ever need. Really rocky/boulder filled trails are your main enemy, but there are very few brand...

I just got my autostop eliminator installed the other day. I think it's asinine that from the factory it doesn't remember your last setting by default for each drive cycle. $100 almost feels like scam territory to not have to press a button anymore, but at least the wiring harness was high...
