  2. Hybrid Battery Seemed to Stop Working on Drive Home Today

    With a dedicated cooling system, it’s interesting the hybrid battery has such a low tolerance for heat. I often drive in temps ranging upwards to 110* and have yet to undergo a such a shutdown.
  3. Rival skid plate installation question

    The rear nut plates have retainers to hold them in position. However when I attempted to use the bolts to secure the front portion of the plate in position, the holes drilled by Rival did not line with holes drilled by Ford in the chassis. After marking the spots on the plate where slightly...

  7. So this just happened

    The only thing worst than a dirunk cop is a dishonest cop. Combine the two and we all suffer.
  8. So this just happened

    Have endured two family members killed and 1 injured due to DUI drivers in separate incidents. In one case the local police ā€˜failed’ to perform a blood test due to the driver’s injuries. The fact he was also a local police officer was a factor in the lack of prosecution. Fortunately we were...

  11. 2025 Maverick Hybrid engine braking?

    A good question. In my manual transmission truck, I normally downshift when approaching a stop, but the brake lights do not activate. I usually let the 4-way flashers flash once if a tailgater is present. With the Hybrid and in a similar situation, using the ā€˜L’ for regenerative braking...

  15. Ticketed: UNSAFE TOWING DEVICE

    Once had a cop neighbor who openly boasted about writing tickets so as to have almost an entire day in court. As the day was counted as overtime since he normally was scheduled for night duty, his OT made a payment on his bass boat. Karma caught up with him as he was busted for DUI in another...
  16. Ticketed: UNSAFE TOWING DEVICE

    The last time I helped an elderly couple with a flat tire, the highway patrol stopped long enough to run my plate and then departed the scene. I was left to continue changing the front left tire next to 90 mph traffic without the officer using his lights to move traffic over a lane. A...

    Would consider such a product as I will carry a canoe on a set of bed racks and can foresee a Scout dropping it on the roof while loading/unloading.
