If a car de If a dealer told me anything, I'd generally believe it was a straight up lie, designed to squeeze more money out of my pocket.

I like this. My GF did get gap insurance, but we plan to cancel it just as soon as the first payment comes up, and she mostly, if not completely pays it off. On the extended warranty thing, she went for the lower one there, but also cancelable.... and I told her, just ask my ace mechanic friends...

Okay, so without reading back over this entire thread, I think we have you all beat !!! Somebody mentioned a $4k mark up ? Ha ! That dealership must not have had any balls ! When my GF ordered her XLT, we were quoted $23 (+ $3k in tax, license, and CA reg) So they called us yesterday to say they...

Well, as a matter of fact, my GF's Maverick is in, and we are supposed to go down and see it today,. Not sure if she is actually going to pick it up, or maybe just put a deposit on it ? She still needs to sell her current car... but its not a problem for her to get the Mav now, and sell her...

Nice :) I like it. They finally fixed that hideous front head light situation. Made no since that all the other Ford trucks had the cool, tough looking C shaped headlights, and the Ranger was stuck somewhere in the early 2000's... Still, I'd probably never own one. I need either a cool little...

No school bus yellow for me. I wish the Cactus grey were a little darker. Area 51 is pretty nice. The Chile Pepper Red is nice. All the rest are played out and very boring to me. If it were me, I'd get one of those boring colors that so many others love... Maybe white, and immediately put a...

That's just about what my GF gets in her Kia Soul as well. She can't wait for her Hybrid Maverick to replace it too 🙂

Hmmm. To me, it seems like Area 51 being a more subtle, laid back kind of color, would be more of an older persons color (if their is such a thing) while LOUD crazy, bright colors like the blue car I posted would be more for young people ? And since I have young peoples taste most of the time...

What's the matter with baby blue ?

I used to hate tan. I thought it was an "old persons color". Now I think its not too bad. Wait.... maybe because I'm getting old !? :O But then I still like loud crazy colors too :)

I'm looking the Kicker Keys (the 4ch + the mono unit) for size, efficiency, ease of install, built in DSP with auto tune... Although you can never get Ford to tell you it will be okay (for liability reasons) I'm very confident it will be. I'm thinking an efficient little 10" sub, maybe with a...

I had a ridiculous 1/4" plate steel safe bolted into the bed of my Chevy S10 (under a fiberglass bedcover. Used a huge padlock, with a lock guard, and a crazy piano style hinge :) Thing probably weighed 80 lbs. It was definitely never breached :) lol

Looks great :) What I'm most envious of, is that your Maverick has an actual alternator ! I'm kind of stuck in a hard place right now, as I'll never own another all gas (ICE) vehicle, but the stock inverters in all the Hybrids and all electrics I've seen, are borderline strong enough for a nice...

I'm 57 yo. Been playing with loud stereos... working in loud refineries and shooting very loud firearms, not always with hearing protection for 40 years. Assumed I had to have some hearing loss. Went and had my hearing professionally checked a few years ago, and to everyone's surprise, my...

Ha :) lol Come on, it could be worse... I mean, white ! :) lol

Mine ! But it's not available on the Maverick. Funny thing about my truck styling... I do try to keep it clean, but IMPO, it almost looks like its supposed to have some mud on it :) lol Oh, and if the Maverick were going to be mine, I would definitely have to get a custom color matching badge...

Here's something you might not have considered. In a Hybrid vehicle, probably 1/3rd of the time your out driving it, the ICE is not even running. So let's say you put 300K miles on it, the motor was only working 200K miles of that. For this same reason, hybrids typically have longer intervals...

Amazing the damage a large animal can cause to a vehicle ! Recently, I saw a video of a new Honda Civic that was totaled hitting a person :( The driver was not at fault though. Speaking of which, their were "6 fatal" hit and runs in Sacramento in one week, last week ! The last one two blocks...

If I have to plug it in, I want to completely fill it that way. I wouldn't have bought my Prius if it needed to be plugged in. I am anxious for an all electric vehicle with great range though. And what would be coolest of all, would be to have enough solar power to charge it myself 😉👍

25 amps sounds really weak. Surely it can make more cranking amps... I think it would have to to turn the motor over, especially if cold. Now your making me wonder what the amps are in my 12v Prius battery ?
