Got lucky and rode the covid wave. I’ve had a car payment forever as I go through rides. Since 2020 bought and sold 5 trucks and cars for profit and paid for the maverick in full. Thought about a loan to buy 100 rides and retire. My luck I would have been stuck with 99 of them in the back yard!
I got burned on my last (2). They eventually gave me a credit but what a pita to install just to fine out quality control must have had a day off when they were made.
Bak made me cut up into little pieces and send multiple photographs with a tape measure to prove it didn’t fit just to get the...
OP I feel for ya man. I didn’t like dealers for years now with underskilled labor and in todays world has gone downhill.
I do my own maintenance and repairs but if I was unable?
A. Find out and seek a qualified dealer mechanic and wait for an opening for warranty work, including recalls.
B...
Not all true. Most radar and speedometer are or can be spot on.
Let’s start with tires. Ford and Toyota with many* not all there vehicles undersize tires intentionally to skew the cafe numbers and make everyone think they get better mileage. On my F150 tires I called the tire manufacturer asking...
Yes, glycol and fuel are easily detected by sight and smell for someone that's turned a wrench for decades and mine had nothing excessive.
I dumped a 22 Honda for fuel dilution and know very well what it is.
I don’t use torque news. Sounds like cnn for cars
I use real life check via hand calc and once I have it dialed it, it’s useless to hand calc as dash meter is spot on(within a teeth or 2)
My ford dash meter is within a tenth or 2 on all my fords (6) since 2016. Ford however undersizes the tires by having the manufacturer skew the numbers and typically are up to 1/2” smaller diameter( gives them better epa numbers to maintain the cafe rating) Two fixes,
1. Forscan to adjust the...
Changed mine at 4k today and don’t need a lab to tell me if it’s good or bad. Old oil looked good.
I did have a good chuckle though. Not sure if it’s an FX4 thing but the skid plate is larger and thicker than a 5th gen 4Runner:ROFLMAO:
From what I've read, early Mavericks had the cover. Only reason they all don't have them is 2 fold, supply chain issues compounded by manufacture going oh, we don't need this let's save money.
Same goes for the eye glasses holder in the headliner, digital temperature display knobs etc
You sure about this? EV is not ready for prime time and we all know what happens when one hurry’s to get stuff done. Turns into a big cluster fu*k
Sure, EV sounds great but who’s going to cough the infrastructure out of their azz to charge ‘‘em all?
Ever been in Chicago hoods? Sometimes you’re...
Honda let me walk for the same reason few years ago. What they fail to realize is the bullet proof reputation went way south after new management took over manufacturing years back. The junk they pump out is no where what it used to be
Available on Amazon, you'll thank me later. Best design allows drainage and never moves. I live in Chicago and no ones ever taken it! Been using this one in multiple trucks for years now
