The difference being that if people are towing the Maverick, they are (or at least, should be) following the directions in the owner's manual to engage a specific Neutral Tow mode, for both recreational/motorhome towing and emergency towing.
I would really hope that people read the owners...
I am not referring to coasting. You specifically said "remove all throttle input", not to modulate it or feather it, or to coast.
So, sitting in your parking space, remove all throttle input. Tell me how long it takes you to reach your destination with no throttle input whatsoever.
Bring...
I'm not moving the goalposts. The original quote was "I also wish there was a cheaper alternative just to get the battery info", and note that cheaper was the only thing specified. Nothing else.
Not boot time, not charging, not mounting, nothing. All of these are moving the proverbial goalposts.
Not unless you can coast from a stop to appropriate traffic speeds, which is after all why we use the accelerator pedal.
I'm not saying that coasting is not situationally useful, but you specifically referred to removing all throttle input, and outside of limited situations, you won't get to...
You keep moving the goalposts here with irrelevant stuff like "if you're running it on your primary phone" which was not part of the discussion, but you somehow added. You added goalposts for mounts and similar, which would be the same for a ScanGauge as well.
Also you have to know that the...
Let's not move the goal post. You may have said "dedicated", by the person I originally quoted only requested "a cheaper alternative".
Old Android phones that have large screens are very common on the used market for cheap, maybe $100 will get you one, maybe even less. They don't need to be...
A "cheaper alternative" has been provided in the solution of Torque Pro and an OBDII reader, which can display on your head unit as an Android Auto app, or on a phone.
ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) is not classified by Ford as a safety feature, but as a convenience feature, so in a sense you are getting all of the safety aids that Ford has released for the Maverick as you did choose to option the 360 package above the base features included on all trims...
It's no huge surprise that a large portion of truck owners do not use the full capabilities of their vehicles. It seems to me that far too many buy them as penile extensions.
Personally, I plan to haul myself and a very heavy non-folding power wheelchair plus a bed lift system, maybe 400...
Considering that there are already a few ways to get whatever we want up on the screen, I don't see a need for a Pi in the truck.
Also, vehicle interiors get VERY hot, and Pi systems don't deal well with heat, since they already run hot.
OP, did you have a signed DORA for your order, and confirmation that your order was submitted for COVP? If so, it should specifically list the agreed upon price, and you should reach out to both Ford and the FTC with it!
Many years ago, I had a standard cab Ranger, and even with just me and either the dog or SO, there was really no good place to store stuff that needed to be kept out of the elements, at least not without some kind of bed topper.
Even as a single person with a dog, a 2 door has significant cargo...
Unless I'm mistaken, the Maverick (at least with the hybrid powertrain) in stock form only has a ground clearance of 8.3 inches, which is just a wee bit too tight for that jack.
