  1. A Maverick and a 10mm Socket

    One of the worst sounds on the planet: the sound of a tool clinking and clanking into the engine bay, but NOT hitting the ground. More than half a century ago (yikes), I lost a 9/16" Craftsman combination wrench under the hood of a '59 Chevy wagon. It turned up over six months later running at...
  2. Are You Thinking About Cashing in on an EV

    Prior to considering the Maverick, I was strongly in the market for an EV. Availability was an issue and this was two + years ago, but the Bolt appeared to be relatively plentiful at the time.

Does it have a sharp horizontal cut off line and relatively dark above that or is there light scatter above the cutoff?? I know I...
  5. Why Buy a Maverick?

    I hope I get the Maverick but at 14+ months for a hybrid, I am starting to lose faith. At least I am not alone in that boat which is some comfort. Mine isn't really replacing anything directly, but it will do summer duty, similar to what my purchased new 1997 4.0 4x4 Ranger supercab now does for...
  6. What is Ford doing for its customers

    My first post, and probably without the depth of knowledge possessed by many on this forum, but here goes. Way back in the summer of last year, it seems the organization (Ford), was surprised by the mix of models being ordered, plus the demographic target was in error as well. The customers...
