I received a $5k quote from KBB, which I thought was reasonable for a 2006 RAV 4 Limited with 168,000 miles that uses a quart of oil between 600 and 1000 miles. Then I said what the hell, I have time, so I listed it in a local paper for $10k and the next day I received several calls, but one guy...
Corporate usually does nothing until somebody gets burned alive in a house fire from a Maverick cooking in a garage. Bean counters have already calculated the risk to cost assessment and has already determined how many cars, houses and lives can be lost before spending money for a remedy.
Thats...
I know somebody in the early days of this forum that is no longer with this forum for pressing the point about no communication. The forum belongs to him/her and others and they aren't required to respond.
Their policy is at the bottom of the page for everyone to read. Fair or not the forum...
Internal combustion engines require oil changes at least once a year no matter how many miles you drive. Acids and other combustion byproducts contaminate the oil and start destroying the engine from the inside out.

I installed a Lomax cover on the Maverick for two reasons.
One, someone else on this forum installed the same one i purchased and found it to be waterproof even going through a high-pressure car wash.

Except for Ford Licensing fees to manufacturer products with the...

I took a look at my paperwork and the window stickers for 01/29/2022 and 03/17/2022, my delivery date was today. Ramp R at top and the bottom of sticker is RAMP ONE RU2G Rail. Not sure if that helps.
Electronic Control Units [ECU's] have been controlling most vehicles since the 70's. They received input from all the other modules and sensors and sends control signals to electric motors and engine controls. When you step on that gas petal, a electrical signal tells the computer that you want...
I have used Lund on all my trucks, and they are made of some tough plastic. I've seen rocks bounce off them that would take out a windshield. The bad part is they look good for about three years and the UV from the sun makes them shabby looking. I have tried to buff them out like the headlights...
Ok, I purchased 9 months ago from Gene Latta Ford in Hanover, PA. It's a family owned, one off Ford Dealer with strong ties to the community. Therefore, screwing over customers is a nonstarter. Ty Mummert was my salesperson and was straight forward on everything he told me. I paid MSRP at the...
