Got mine from Metro Ford of Madison. The actual sale of the vehicle went smoothly, and the sales reps were fine to work with. I sent the rep my build, I stopped in and put down a deposit, and he kept me updated over the following months. Delivery was painless. The service department...

Same here. It is a perfect fit for what I need. Hopefully we see competing models from other manufacturers too.

Yeah, I suppose if I were a CEO and saw $$$ during covid due to low inventory/high margins, I'd try to keep chasing that high too. The common man be damned. The current financial state of the median US household right now is a bit scary. Even more pressure than the current used and new car...

I know Phil is the widely known groundhog, but we have Jimmy in these parts. He's a little bitey though:

AmFam; I pay about $1200/yr for full coverage (coll. + comprehensive) with $500 deductible. Late 30's male with clean record, as that tends to be relevant ;) . $5600 is insanity. There has to be something else going on there.

Might as well show mine too. Wasn't too hard to swap; unit is off of a 2020 Escape.

And you know damn well that the main motivator for GM making these changes is to collect more subscription fees (either via their new infotainment or to support Android Auto/CarPlay). I'm certain other manufacturers will follow suit too.

Yikes...+1 on rainx for now. I was once on I-94 in Minnesota with some friends during a snowstorm when his driver's side wiper blade fell apart. It must have looked ridiculous with him hanging out the window every couple minutes to wipe the windshield. Luckily traffic was slow...

Also in Madison area, and the Mav has been a champ in the 15+ inches of snow we've gotten over the last week. Now we're dealing with plummeting temps and any compacted snow is turning to ice, especially at intersections. Was picking up the gf during one of the storms. On a city street behind...

Since my post, Apple has reluctantly agreed to finally support RCS chats, so SMS may be a thing of the past in the next couple years (except for things like one time passcodes, etc.). I think your earlier point about AA not being able to read texts from earlier in the day is a "feature"...

That's really cool, thanks for sharing!

That's kind of funny, because my aforementioned car was a 2014 Dodge Dart manual (don't make fun of me ;) ). The day I bought it, I test drove that and a 2014 Mazda 3. I regret not going with the Mazda, though the Dart was quite fun to drive.

But then how will I do AWD donuts in a snowy parking lot?! ;) Agree with the dumb use of "need". Do I "need" it? Nah. Just like I don't need A/C or heated seats. But I definitely want them. I do occasionally venture further north in remote areas with unpaved, sometimes-plowed paths where...

I'm torn about it all. There is the argument that the student athletes, at least for football and basketball, bring a lot of revenue to the universities. Why shouldn't they get a cut of that? But then again, I don't believe state universities should be for profit. Regardless of their...

Some people's default mode is to complain. You could prepare a steak cooked exactly to their preference, then they'd complain about the seasoning or sear. As far as vehicles go, my Mav has had issues within +/- 1 standard deviation of the mean. Typical infotainment bugs, a couple recalls, and...

Anyone remember the Arch Deluxe? It wasn't around long, but I really liked it (was a kid at the time). I've come to appreciate the convenience of pan cooking burgers. Just a little olive oil, about 3-4 minutes per side and it comes out a perfect medium. Throw some caramelized onions and...

This. Your vehicle is constantly pelted with dust, rain, snow, ice, and debris from the load Billy Bob in front of you didn't secure properly. Don't get me started on dump trucks covering a highway in dust/dirt, or semi trailers blinding people with snow and ice from not clearing it off.... A...

A couple people on this forum have done it with making a custom harness and swapping in Sync 4 APIM from a different vehicle. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/how-to-sync-3-4-swap-for-non-sync-3-xl-xlt.11860/#post-237905 That is one option; another is waiting for a Maverick MY25...

EDIT: The Maverick associated with the mods below was sold. Here's all I've done so far with links if I could find them. Couple more items on the list but I'm mostly done (famous last words...) Window tint Tonneau cover Gator soft roll up Tailgate assist https://a.co/d/6lAzKTa...

I have an wash subscription and take mine through 1-2 times a week at least during the winter. The dryer does make the hood flex a little but meh. No way I'm going without the wash up here in salt country.
