Makes me glad I got an Ecoboost. You're so right. It delivers its power very smoothly with the transmission always in the right gear. It rarely bogs or clunks into gear. Nothing like my last Tacoma. That thing was a dog! I couldn't stand to drive it long distance. Plus, the narrow cab and...
I'm right there with you on the Maxzina rain guards. I had the same issue. I did everything step by step. It would hit, then roll back down. Thankfully, I just did one and nothing more. Everything else was untouched. A friend of mine who's also my coworker gifted them to me since he...
I'm fully aware of the Escape Hybrid from the mid-2000s. I'm saying the popularity of Hybrids has excelled within the last few years. I mentioned Ford because they offer more than one compared to back then. Now, you have the Maverick Hybrid, Escape Hybrid (until it's discontinued) and F-150...
I'm not saying they weren't popular 15 years ago. I meant that in recent years, they've caught on even more. Every year, I see more and more RAV4 hybrids, CR-V hybrids, Camry hybrids, Hyundai Tuscon Hybrids, you name it. There was a point where there was not a whole lot to go around. It was...
I just read the article from Motortrend regarding this. It was a long time coming. I rarely ever see Lightnings. They're overpriced and the range is abysmal. Plus, there's a lot of EV skepticism in the automotive world right now, especially regarding full-size trucks. Most of it is stemmed...
You're gonna love it! It'll be just as comfortable as the Edge. It makes for a great daily commuter. It's actually the most comfortable vehicle I've ever had. Not to mention you'll have an actual bed at your disposal again, be it a small one. Since you got Eruption Green, you will not miss...
I wouldn't worry about it. The Maverick and Bronco Sport are here to stay since they've been such massive hits. More so the Maverick than the Bronco Sport. As mentioned, those two share the same platform and components from the Escape which is the reason for their existence in the first...
Right now, I'm just over 27. I'm the same as you. Almost two years with only 12,000 miles and some change, I never mash it, I keep right but go with the flow of traffic and mainly drive to and from work with not much else. I just filled my tank exactly one week ago and I only burnt a quarter...
I did this myself last year. It's totally worth it. Not only does it give off a ton of light at night for safety, it just makes it look nicer. It makes the truck look as it should, fresh and modern. Those yellow hue incandescent bulbs make the truck look ten years older. Yuck!
I did the...
I'll have to see it in person. It still reminds me of Cyber Orange but with more orange. You definitely don't have to worry about losing it in a parking lot, that's for sure! But, it's a bit much. I feel like that'll get old.
I prefer the spray-in. I think it's fine. It's served me very well. It's in great shape other than a scuff on the passenger side. But, the floor is completely mint thanks to the bed mat I transferred from my first one.
The drop-ins aren't as sturdy. They scratch and gouge more easily and...
I had a feeling the Maverick would win. A couple of days ago, I read the article regarding the contenders and the Maverick was toward the top of this list. So, I figured, it'll probably win. I mean, what's not to like? It's still somewhat affordable (not as much as it used to be) fuel...
I guess opinions vary. Our Bronco Sport was superb for what it was. I thought it was smooth for a three banger, had plenty of power with a well tuned transmission and got great fuel economy. Once on a road trip from Florida to Connecticut and back, it averaged 34-35 mpg the whole way. Also...
So, a co-worker of mine recently purchased a used Ford Maverick since he was looking for a small truck and was very impressed with what I had to say about mine. So naturally, he started buying accessories for it. One of which was Maxzina rain guards that he installed with no issue. But, he...
It's too bad they don't make it anymore. Maybe down the line, they'll bring it back like they did with Velocity Blue or, to an extent, Cyber Orange. Now, it's Orange Fury Metallic but it's very reminiscent of CO, just darker. Plus, Cactus Grey was a huge hit at launch. To this day, I see...
The Lobo looks so clean with everything body colored! Also, the traditional spoked wheels suit it better than those turbine ones. You'll enjoy it in the long run. Plenty of power and torque, it's fun to drive, handles good and gets respectable fuel economy despite not being the hybrid.
I'm assuming it's made with sturdier plastic that won't scratch or scuff as easily? My stock one has been used and abused and got the inevitable scrapes and gouges. It would be nice to cover those up. Like others already mentioned, the bed cap would be the only one I'd be interested in. The...
I only did because if people want to read something, it needs to be worded properly. That way, there's no second guessing. BTW, I wasn't the only one who mentioned either. So, there's more than one person that cares about something like that.
