  1. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    I agree it can be for some I think it is NUTS to go off road with ANY EV. If insurance company even see's a dent in the skid plate for huge battery they total vehicle if you say no they drop you. They are afraid of risk of fire and HUGE lawsuit. Seen it documented on youtube. So not for off...

    My new phone with Gemini AI says on average it cost 44 to 49 percent more to insure an equivalent EV to gas car. Google says 49 percent more . Gieco has insured me for quite a while being the lowest cost.
  4. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    In your case sure. Got a cheap lease. I am not against EV just like to look at the facts for the average person,. Sure if you can get the vehicle in either a lease for less or buy it then sure that makes a huge difference,. I go by average which usually cost more for EV like a chevy blazer...

  7. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    Long time argument . You ignore OTHER costs of an EV like initial cost of 10K more on average. Blazer Gas 37K, EV 46K start. Then another BIG one resale value. Again on average its much lower I cant remember the exact amount on average but its significant. Then insurance cost. Tire wear...
  8. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    Plug ins are not the answer. WHY? Cost,. Typically 5 grand more. Barely if ever make up that 5 k over a regular hybrid . Then if you do make it up still risk of battery failure over much less dollar regular hybrid battery. Not seeing any pluses. If going to gas station which I barley do as I...

  11. I took the Maverick owners survey

    I took the survey too. I just went on and on any where they let me write about the dead 12 volt battery issue . I said let the SOC be higher to get battery to charge up more. I said an AGM battery should ONLY be used no matter what year Mav. Why not let them know what is wrong.

  13. Help with Tire Decision!

    What ever you get don't buy All Weather tires since you wont see snow. Get All Season They will last longer. I myself wouldn't even look at a tire that has less than a 70K mile warranty for an All Season. Most All Weather don't get more than 60 if that . But of course are better in snow...

    My 2023 XLT hybrid has gone off a few times. Usually a parked car on a curved road . Once at night when I came upon stopped car no brake lights and i didn't see it. So I like the feature.

  16. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    There has been some price comparisons done by a few websites,.BUT it will vary as cost of electricity varies especially if you charge away from home.

  17. Deep Sleep FIX - Maverick Hybrid 12V battery - One Year Update

    There must be MORE of an issue than BMS set to 80 percent. If that was it why not set it to 100 percent? Must be a reason ford wont do that. . I had battery replaced and AC service bulletin done on my 2023 xlt hybrid August 1st 2025,. So far the battery is holding voltage as I have digital...
  18. IT’S BEEN FUN BUT TIME TO SELL!

    For EV cars lease is best. Not stuck with old EV with AWFUL resale value. Hope you already have 220 volt at home and ready to charge. .
  19. IT’S BEEN FUN BUT TIME TO SELL!

    So you didn't AD ANYTHING to your maverick like a bed cover or even quality floor mats? Like me I added elevate rails and hard bed cover , splash guards. plus more. So that would be the correct number assuming you added nothing . Good luck with Chevy EV.
