  1. Ford Rewards Visa is back

    In MASS it is illegal to charge more to use a credit card with an exception... if it is the company processing the card transaction, not the dealer that is charging the fee, that is legal. Another thing that is strange with that law... You can offer a discount for cash, just can't charge...
  2. Maverick cab size works for me!

    buddy of mine has a 25 GMC Canyon. You need a ladder to get into the dam thing. I'm in my late 70's and I had to pull my self up using the handle on the door frame before he added the steps. Using his truck and trailer we got 9.1 MPG going snowmobiling. Using mine (much lighter...
  3. Help me decide if I really still want a Maverick Tremor or Hybrid

    Drive often long distance. Have done 1000 miles in a day from central MA to W. SC, twice as well as trips to northern Maine to do snowmobiling and yes, my ass does start to feel uncomfortable on these long drives. Escape was similar. Would like the seat a little softer. But that is me...
  4. Getting rid of SiriusXM

    Am paying $6.06 for Sirius... Don't use locally as I have one FM station I like. But on the road I use Sirius... 80's on 8. lol
  5. 2025 AWD Hybrid Lariat (Non-Trailer Tow) first tow...

    I tow a 16' 90" wide, 90" high snowmobile trailer with my 4k ice Lariat... Frontage is a little over the 40 recommended, I figure weight with the 2 sleds is around 3500 lbs... Mileage is, I am guessing, in the 13's (truck shows mid 12's) as that is what I got towing home when purchased with my...
  6. How long should I let it idle?

    Not my 1st turbo (had both a Subaru and a Australian Mercury Capri). Can't remember on the Subaru whether they recommended the idle, but the Capri did say to let it idle before shutting down if you were pushing it. Pain in the ass when you are on the highway and stop for gas. No such...
  7. 2026 Hybrid Tailgate...

    I had the dealer remove its advertisement sticker before I left their lot. Did add Echoboost to the lower left to offset the AWD on the lower right on my 24.
  8. Finally got the Maverick cleaned up after all the Snow and Cold Weather!!

    looks good, but way to early in the season to get into that much cleaning. An occasion drive thru car wash when it is hard to distinguish that the lower panels are blue and maybe dumping the sand off the rubber mats is as far as I go in the winter. Hoping for an additional 2 months of winter...
  9. 25 Hybrid AWD Lariat Driver's Door Rattle

    Have it checked out by the dealer. Years ago, my father's ford wagon had a similar situation. The dealer found a set of keys in the bottom of the door. Some how got in there during the build. lol
  10. New Nokian Tires

    With that tread pattern they appear to be unidirectional tires. Have a similar pattern on my current snowtires that are Nexen. If Discount tire is similar to my local tire chain (Town Fair Tire) here in New England, they will sell the other 3 as used. Have bought several used tires from...
  11. Auto Start / Stop mandate repealed!

    never though of that, though the only warning about letting the turbo cool before shutting off on my little Mercury Capri convertible (a Mazda built Ford import from Australia) was after highway driving. No city warning and that is where the stop start is used predominantly.
  12. WOW Jump boxes

    Have similar unit (looks the same) and carry it in my snowmobile for jumpstarting. With a 4 stroke snowmobile, if battery is low you are shit out of luck. Never carried till I needed, now do.. Buddy I was with had and we used it every morning (except the 1st) on a 7 day back pack trip up...
  13. Electric Maverick article

    full electric will not work for me, though is interesting. I'm waiting on Ford Mav for 28 as should be a full update, not cosmetic plus as the 25 was. PHEV Ecoboost AWD is what I am interested in. Still would be able to pull my snowmobile trailer on ICE with mostly electric usage when...
  14. Auto Start / Stop mandate repealed!

    agree, no clue why people hate. May be putting a little addl stress on the starter, but have never lost a starter. ICE Mav here and it works fine. Most of the time I don't even realize it has shut down till I look down at the tack. Instant start when I hit the gas.
