I threw up in my mouth a little bit when I saw thisā¦.ugh. Iām fine with most of the changes but the trim going up to the headlights is awful. I feel sorry for anyone who buys that truck. Iāll park next to them on purpose to shame them for giving ford money to mess up such a nice looking front...
You spent all that time on the install but you need to upgrade your CB antenna. 2' isn't going to do much even with a SSB radio. You need a 4' antenna minimum to really start getting some good performance. I'd suggest a nice base load with a 40" plus steel whip. Difference will be day and night...
My update for this thread. Ford never did crap. I had to buy their paint pen kit and they didn't even cover that. I touched up the paint chips and it looked better after.
Here's the interesting part. The majority of the paint chips happened in the first 6 months of ownership. In the 18 months...
They never found anything wrong, coolant level has remained steady over the winter and havenāt had the smell in the cab again. Iāll be interested to see if I end up with any issues over the summer.
What kind of quotes are you guys getting from the dealership for transmission fluid change? Does it include the filter change? I mentioned it when I was getting my oil change and they said $700-800 if they do the filter.
Iāve not experienced any rubbing over bumps at full turn. I tested it in a parking lot over bumps as well and itās been clear so far. This is why I went 235/70 rather than 245/70.
Have it at the dealer today for coolant system pressure test. Iām out of bumper to bumper warranty and while Iāve brought this up to them and they even filled it up last time those details werenāt in their system which could be an issue. They said theyād do the pressure test free of charge which...
Sand mode basically disables the traction control thatās why Iāve used it multiple times in deep snow with good results. On ice or compact snow slippery mode is the better choice but when you need wheel spin sand mode tends to work the best.
I totally would have backed in if I had known how much snow we were going to get!! It was forecast for 2-4ā š Iāve had no problems backing out previously in the snow with these new tires but this was just too much snow.
Yeah, the Subaru system is definitely one of the best AWD ones out there and dedicated snow tires would help as well. My wifes Santa Fe has a pseudo rear diff lock option you can engage and I wish they had that on the maverick as it really makes a difference. I bet the Tremor would have much...
22ā Ecoboost. Had a coolant smell in cab couple of months ago, checked and coolant was low (below minimum when stopped or running) so filled it up. Now two months later itās below minimum line again and I can faintly smell it in the engine bay. Searched for an hour but can not find a leak or...
True, and here in the NW as the snow is extremely heavy with moisture and as soon as you pack it down under the tires it's like instant ice. There also was some freezing rain underneath so the driveway portion wasn't a very fair test. Once I got out on the road no problems at all and I got out...
Not at all - you should watch the whole video :) They did extremely well in the snow and the difference from the Pirellis was very noticeable. I've been very impressed with the Firestone Destination AT2's and they are quieter and lighter than many of the other all-terrain choices. These are also...
We got a bunch of snow last week and although I'd already given the new Firestone Destination AT2 235/70R17 tires some good snow testing this year I figured I'd give the Maverick the tough task of trying to escape my slick concrete driveway without shoveling it first :) It's escaped previously...
Funny you asked as I'm working on a video :) I've driven three times in them so far this year. First two times in 2-3 inches and it was like the snow wasn't even there with the tires. They are a huge step up from the Pirellis. Was really impressed. This week we got a foot of heavy NW snow and...
So if it just plugs into the 7 pin connector was there a reason it doesn't do a brake light as well? I really was hoping for something that would do brake light and reverse.
