I really enjoy how forums go off the rails. This is what makes forums fun. Here we are on a truck forum initially discussing how much weight the OP had loaded into the back of his truck (and if the bags being wet would add much to the weight). But now we are discussing exactly what Scott's...

FFS it does not say it's Peat Moss on the bag. Or on Scotts website. Probably it has peat moss in the mixture? My wife mixes peat moss with top or garden soil along with the compost from our two compost piles to make her own special blend. When we buy peat moss it's big, hard, rectangular...

Thank you for the correction but we both misidentify what's in the truck. It is Scotts turf builder lawn soil. Scott's website says Contains a blend of rich, composted materials to create an excellent seed-growing environment For optimal results, use with Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed...

My wife is a gardener and I've hauled countless bags of mulch, soil and peat. Every summer it's at least 30 bags of mulch and often 2x that. Then soil and peat, though never a lot of peat. ANYWAY, I've never worked at a garden store and I've never bothered weighing, but I know for a fact some...

Geez, but looking at that really reinforces what a great deal the 4 pin trailer hitch option for $100 is from the factory.

I don't disagree with your statement on MPG. If the purpose of the supplemental registration fee is to replace lost revenue from gas taxes (that pay for maintenance and building of roads and bridges) then rather than gas/electric maybe it should be based on MPG rating. I love the gas mileage I'm...

I'm sure you are right about what you say. But I also feel you are to a large degree stating the obvious. The Maverick is not the truck for hard work or (heavy) towing. And Ford doesn't market it as such. The pictures are of people heading to the home improvement store and getting mulch or...

Your points are accurate enough. But get the higher tow rating and factory retractable tonneau the Santa Cruz gets pretty pricey. I cannot decide if I like the looks of the Santa Cruz or not. Sometimes I see one and think it looks kinda cool in an offbeat way. Sometimes I look at it and think...

Indiana has a registration fee for hybrids and EV's. $50 for a hybrid and $150 for electric vehicles. I'm fine with it. As others have said they have to pay for upkeep to the roads and EV's especially and hybrids to a lesser degree are not paying gasoline taxes that pay for the roads.

They must have, as I was not charged for TPM sensors nor were they on the steel wheels I later sold. Good news is that TPM's are not particularly expensive now. I like the wheels. They are attractive but not flashy or attention grabbing. Enjoy! Tony

I believe you only need to be concerned about options/packages that are on the constraint list. The trailer hitch is not on the list of constraint items.

What is it you are looking at? BREEZER or something else?

The entire neutral thing is IMHO a problem. This illustrates that. What is also a problem is just how easy it is to accidentally bump that dial to other positions inadvertently . twice now - in five weeks of ownership - I've bumped into neutral. The cup holders are right there by the dial. And...

I love my Maverick Hybrid, but shit like this makes me roll my eyes and sigh. So if the 12v battery dies, you have to jump the vehicle just to be able to shift the transmission into neutral? Who is the genius that engineered that?

I agree with ALL that you say. We don't disagree much at all. what I'm not saying well apparently is that Ford disables all the remote features if you don't go along with the data collection. I find what Ford offers for what Ford gives to be of unequal value. Others may well feel differently...

Our phones and e911 provide a lot more useful stuff to us than Ford does. e911 is only your current location - and might save your life. The exchange seems much fairer to me - IMHO. It's also easy to delete the collection of data on your phone. And depending on which type of phone you use, the...

Or you could just delete the app from your phone and reset the system in the car to get rid of the Ford Pass App. Ford collects a HUGE amount of data on your driving. Where you've been, where you are at, where you are going, how fast you are driving That is a lot of personal data for some...

I had a 1975 or 1976 Mercury Comet. Same car as the Ford Maverick, just Mercury badging. It was two years old at the time and part of the fleet for the local gas and electric company. White, six cylinder, automatic with an AM radio and not much else. Gas mileage was decent for the day and the...

I completely missed that the OP was in Germany. Thank you for pointing it out.

I'd be afraid to do 90+ mph on public roads. Not that the better interstate stretches are necessarily unsafe at the speed (Texas is 75 a lot areas and everyone does 80+) but just I wouldn't want to risk the ticket. My lowest mpg's have been short trips where the engine is warming up. It's...
