I didn't realize how much heavier an EV is. You can see how much bigger the tires are on a TESLA. I don't know how much they weigh. I was surprised to learn that the new VW "micro bus" EV weighs on at SIX-THOUSAND-POUNDS !!! How much does a Mav hybrid weigh?

I traded in my 2022 VW GTI for a Maverick LOBO because I needed a truck that could tow at least 2000 pounds. The LOBO has the 7 speed trans with paddle shifters similar to the GTI. It drives similar to the GTI but not as precise in the throttle application or handling, after all it is about...

302 bored & stroked to 331, BRODIX aluminum heads, B303 roller cam, roller rockers, WC 5-speed, 3.70 gears posi, Edelbrock carb, intake & water pump, MSD ignition. Lowered floors 2-1/4" so I didn't have to look OVER the windshield.

Better add a little more vodka to that V8

Trouble is the engine is transverse mounted so the only V8 I can think of is the Cadillac NORTHSTAR. 300 hp right out of the box. Adapting the transaxle would be an interesting project. In the 80's & 90's it was a popular swap for a Pontiac FIERO. Apologies to the died-in-the-wool Ford guys...

Could you feature a TESLA that sounds like a HARLEY?..........NO !

I traded in my 2022 VW GTI for the Maverick LOBO. My wife had a 2022 Transit Connect that was our towing and haul vehicle. We needed to tow the dune buggy on occasion. But she didn't like the power of the gutless and noisy normally aspirated 2.0 so last year we decided to get rid of it in...

I agree with Glen, there is no wrong choice, only preferences. In my case, I only needed to tow 2000 pounds and when I read about the LOBO I was hooked. This is my first 2.0 EB and it has the 7-speed with paddle shifters. Love it! First fill up yesterday it got a tick over 27 MPG in a mix of...

I can understand putting fake noise in an electric car but not a gas burner. I mean if you want fake noise why not make it sound like a top fuel dragster or an F ONE or Indy car. That would blow someone's mind at a stop light BTW is it possible to upload a video here?

I think it looks pretty cool. I like the added safety feature of the bright running lights. Thanks for posting.

I have named almost all of the vehicles I have owned. Only special cars/trucks get names. So when we got the Maverick I wanted to name it "BRET" after James Garner's character in the MAVERICK TV series. But I lost the naming contest for our Maverick Lobo to my wife's top choice. "BUDDY'S...

Just about ready to fill mine up for the first time. I think I'll be somewhere around 25+ mpg.

Lowering my LOBO is defiantly on my wish list. I think the Good Win set with their sway bar is the way to go. Nice job!

Sorry OleFordGuy, I tried but I can't figure how to add a video to the post.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to the install info. Mike

Thanks to all who replied. Special thanks to Todd, who listed previous posts on the subject. Good information. Thanx

Any issues with the mud flaps you installed? Who makes them and where can I get them?

Has anyone noticed a performance or MPG improvement using the 91/93 octane gas in their stock 2.0 EB?

When I built my COBRA I installed an AGM battery. After 10 rears I sold the COBRA and replaced the AGM battery with a new one for the new owner. The "old" AGM battery I gave to my brother and he used it for another 8 years. BION! The nice thing about the AGM technology is that it doesn't have...

Does MABETT have mud flaps for the '25 Maverick LOBO? There are several available but which ones for '25 LOBO. Already had to send one set back. Thanks for the info, I'll be ordering the dash bin protector as soon as it's available.
