"Full-sized" trucks, from at my youth, are now smaller than a Maverick, Colorado, etc..., from current times. Trucks have gotten big.

Logical assessment. If my $28k Maverick can do what I need it to do, why in the world why would I spend an addition $30K+ for a larger truck the next time? Sixty thousand or more on a truck that isn't utilitarian for most people is a waste IMO.

If I were doing it again and was set on a WRX, it would be the auto as the 6 speeds (or 5 in the early years) seemed way too weak. Doing nothing to the car it is still temperamental let alone once you start fooling with them.

Talking to the service manager before the fact never hurts. You might be able to strike up a rapport! My last three vehicles have all been turbo charged but the second from last actually needed an engine. I tuned the vehicle and struck up a rapport with the service manager and flat out told...

When you are younger, you think you know a lot more than you do. Even though Ford had a number of vehicles I wanted, I had an awful taste in my mouth from my SHO which left me seeing things perhaps in a false sense of reality. As you get older, you see things a bit more clearly.

Every machine eventually requires some sort of repair but what I place a great deal of emphasis on is whether or not the company will stand by said product. Even the great Japanese manufacturers are having issues like the engine problem with the new turbo'd engine in some of its trucks. Oddly...

Things happen. Good or bad, it all leaves a lasting impression. Twenty-five years ago I bought the worst car I ever owned which was a '96 SHO. To this day I have a stack of receipts as thick as a phone book and believe me, I called Ford many a time. At one point I flat out said I, if the vehicle...

The driving assists are a wonderful addition to the vehicle.

My vehicle arrived at the dealership on a Saturday and the prep was done before the end of the day. The website showed X amount (including mine) in stock. Monday morning they called. You might get a call on Monday.

Does the website say it is in transit?

The mobile service has come to my home twice for the recalls dealing with the brake light and it couldn't have been easier. As a matter of fact, my local dealer seemed to push this service over bringing the truck into the dealer for the same work.

On my prior Japanese vehicle, the C.A.P. was a convenient way to install a tune and monitor said vehicle. Being that it worked on seven model years, there was zero updating or anything beyond it being ready right out of the box. Plug it in and you are ready to go in a very short time. The before...

Hello. I've been wanting to discuss this topic since I bought my Maverick so now is a fitting time for a freshman post. Perhaps two months ago I bought the calibrator/tune from Livernois. I went through the process of collecting the stock info and uploading it and then a few days later...
