  1. Has anyone tried OpenPilot on the Maverick?

    OpenPilot is an alpha (pre-beta) dev kit, not a polished production product. If you're not comfortable with command line, I'd steer clear. I only suggest it to my nerdy friends who are at least comfortable with using a command line, and more like are software developers (I am NOT a developer...
  2. Portland area spray-in recommendations?

    Turn off whatever "news" sources you're consuming, it's rotting your brain lol. +1 to Line-X, buddy's dads Tundra was done 15yrs ago, we abused the hell out of it haul car and landscaping stuff around and it washed up fine every time.
  3. Financing through Ford Credit

    In fall 2021, the cheapest bank/CU I found was DCU which has a lot of good reviews around the net. They were around 50bps lower than Ford in fall 2021 and even lower in summer 2022 too, except I was rate locked. Because of my rate lock, I've never used them so I can't say personally how they...
  4. Best accessory/mod under $100?

    Read the rest of the comments, people are/were concerned about head smashes.
  5. Best accessory/mod under $100?

    I grew up on a farm in a rural area. None of the pickups had tailgate assist. None of the kids every got hurt from tailgates. It's like the stove. Or firearms. Or *driving*. Teach your kids valuable lessons vs shelter them from life.
  6. Adjusting AFE Bias - 5000 miles of Data from my Hybrid Maverick

    Yeah this is my take on the matter. Drive it and forget it. (I still log everything, but I am over trying to fix the MPG reported). Over the last 16k, my Ecoboost with oversized AT tires and a bed cover has gotten 23.6 MPG measured via the cluster reported miles (adjusted in Excel for the tire...
  7. Any Way to Change TPMS Settings???

    How'd you calculate the PSI for your tires?
  8. Cheap $30 Oil Catch Can Finally Installed! Looks perfect!

    What an amazing design. Need to replace the VGC? New tube! Need to remove the intake for some reason? New tube! I hate disposable parts.
  9. Rants and Raves after 3,000 miles

    I'd be shocked if most people calculate MPG, vs read what the cluster says... When I've asked in other threads where people talk about MPG, most people say its what their cluster calculates.
  10. Has anyone tried OpenPilot on the Maverick?

    In some vehicles (some Toyotas and Hyundais, and more but I don't know them off hand) it can do ACC and stoplight/sign detection. I believe the latest code for the Maverick has support for stoplight/sign detection but I am running slightly older code (January) modified to let me use the stock...
  11. Has anyone tried OpenPilot on the Maverick?

    OP has *vastly* better lane centering than stock. That's about it currently
  12. Dealer trying to add "Pulse Braking"

    Or don't, because it's both annoying as hell and illegal in many states. Including the OP's state of Washington.
  13. Insane offer from Carvana.

    IRS guidance disagrees... Capital gains apply to capital assets. It does not have to be an investment. It simply uncommon for it to be on a vehicle. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/1221 https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc409 It's a capital asset, with a capital gain, it qualifies...
  14. Insane offer from Carvana.

    Not interested in getting into a pissing match over it, but most capital assets are subject to capital gains tax, and losses are not deductible to individuals so no you would not take a loss. Personal use vehicles are subject to taxation to the extent that a gain is realized upon sale. Nothing...
  15. Insane offer from Carvana.

    Your CPA likely didn't tell you precisely what you're saying, they told you enough for you to draw your own conclusions and you remembered the part that was favorable. The audit risk around this is very low, which is probably why your CPA let you get away with it. I don't love that game, but...
  16. Mpg fx4 ecoboost sweet spot .

    Is this measured by recalculating miles/gallons or per OBC?
  17. Has anyone tried OpenPilot on the Maverick?

    Comma has struggled, to say the least, with injecting into vehicles that use encryption. But they're working the problem. The Maverick is not one of those vehicles and OP runs great on it.
  18. Oregon

    Wow, fast time frame! Give your vehicle a good inspection. MIne had scratches on it, and the dealer wouldn't fix them.
  19. Ranch Mid-Rise cap topper photos

    Brake light cut is fine, but alas, massive gap between the cab and cap is not. I'm glad it works for you though!
