I do old school 3000 to 3500 tops, no matter what.

I prolly shoulda also said I have the habit of setting the parking brake in all parked situations, so for me, doesn't matter dial or not. It is "get in-shut door-start engine-release brake/press disable button-put in gear". Ya know, "Get your motor runnin; Head out on the highway; Lookin' for...

Auto stop is a government "we gotta save gas' requirement, and the autostop disable is a "this is stupid" remedy.

Our habit on our eco boost has become: get in-close door-start engine-press disable button. It is now routine.

Back in the 1980's my father-in-law put two stacks like this but not as big on his 1972 Chevy 1/2 ton PLUS a set of 5 functioning roof lights (like in pic) AND non functioning air horns on the cab PLUS monstrous rear mud flaps with stainless bottoms that, whenever there was a slight load in the...

Comes from this guy, given me by a close friend over 40 years ago ....

Well, how about that! Thought that looked like some of the Bay Area homes on hills! My mother was born and raised in Coos Bay except for a few years in Pennsylvania where my Dad was from. I was born in Pennsylvania in 1948 but when I was about 18 months old they moved back to the Bay Area, and...

As soon as I saw the picture I wondered ... Oregon? Then say OrCoaster! Where? I grew up in Coos Bay!

Yea, back when cars were far narrower and garages were rare! This is the main reason we went with the Maverick; it fits in our garage. When we retired in 2016 and moved to be near our youngest grandkids the house plan we chose offered a three or two stall garage at the same cost. Did the three...

Wife and I really don't think of our Maverick as a "pickup" in the "truck" sense, but as a comfortable four door that happens to have a bed instead of a trunk or suv type area that means being able to carry larger loads than either a car or suv if needed and was designed to do so. And the idea...

I also do not tailgate under normal driving conditions. Of course, this means having to deal with people who will take advantage of this and make you brake because they want that spot in front of you instead of the long empty space behind you. If I can I will not stay in the same lane as a dump...

Wife and I both 75. 2022 White FWD Ecoboost XLT with hitch and floor mats and decal on lower body. Had it a bit over a year, and only 5800 on it.

I agree. Our XLT doors all close with a subtle, solid sound. No issues whatsoever. I was actually surprised.

Will probably never use Auto Hold. I can just imagine being stopped, taking my foot off the brake, and for some reason the system fails and I smack the car in front of me because I also hate the engine auto stop/start and disable it. Stopped? Engine stays running and I keep my foot on the...

I have a sink in my garage with a small hot water heater connected to it, and a hose on the bib and a wand on the hose. I wash my cars in the driveway with it, and in the winter if salt has been used they get a wash off underneath before pulling them in.

Hmmmmm!!! A good thought!

As with any of our vehicles any more, Ziebart undercoat. For our Mav, a ceramic coating also. Take them in yearly also for the required maintenance to keep up the warranty.

I looked for a used trailer but could not find one that would have worked, beside the standard wire mesh ones. Besides, I like this one because being small I can park it in the front of the our third garage stall and we can still get by it, and I designed it to take the sides off and fold the...

Pretty solid trailer for light use, I think. A few pointers!!! 1. The provided instructions on mine were not that well done. You need to do some thinking between the lines. 2. REALLY IMPORTANT!!! Tighten all of the frame bolts slowly as you make sure the frame is square by measuring several...
