Simple: dealer makes more money selling a used Maverick than a new one.

If you want it, get it. You can then go to a Ford dealer to get an extended warrantee from Ford. Honda dealer is simply interested in getting their trade money back. I wouldn't go that far. Some people just change their mind or their situations change. Buddy of mine a while ago bought himself...

I like the idea of more autonomous driving. I don't know why everyone insists on putting it in EVs first. I guess they need something to entice consumers to buy them. EVs aren't just enticing in and of themselves. I still think the new Lightning and RamCharger approach will get consumers used to...

I got Rain-X blades. Truck lives in my garage and I only put 6,000 miles a year on it, so they last a while.

They only expire if no activity. An oil change is enough to keep them active.

Alternative proposal: leave it. It's a truck and has character now. :)

I don't have a hybrid, but I use the approach that keeps me within a few car lengths of the car in front of me except for when I'm getting on the interstate. I am usually then reminding everyone that it is called an acceleration lane.

I usually get it if I get the order of operations wrong. I created a memory checklist and now I do it every time and have not gotten the double honk in a while. Stop and keep foot on brake. Put in Park. Engage parking brake. Turn off truck. Lift foot off brake. Open door.

Yeah, but when the name brand is only $30, I recommend avoiding the ALL CAPS Chinese brands. Name brands have a name to protect. So even if they are made in the same factory, the quality has to be there. The all caps brands will literally just disappear and pick a new name when their ratings...

In that case, I"m pretty certain you can as I keep accidentally doing it...

The auto headlights will turn themselves back to auto after to turn off your truck. This is a safety feature. I like having the auto function so I've never bothered to look and see if that that something you can set with Forscan.

The DeeZee one I can attest to. I've had it on my truck for two and a half years and I have not noticed any degradation in performance. In fact, the other day when it was really cold, I could have done a lap around my truck in the amount of time it took to come down.

I like reading through the spreadsheet. The engine type is funny because it implies that Ford is ready for the extremely unlikely event they create a hydrogen fuel cell Maverick.

Ford knows how to make trucks. VW does not. VW sells well in Europe. Ford does not. Simply a marriage of convenience for both. Ford makes the truck and VW slaps their badge on it. Both make money on the deal.

Observation bias. This is a Maverick forum so we are going to notice them more. I would imagine the rear-ended rate is likely on par with every other vehicle model.

Boo. Happy truck protected you, though.

Yeah, no. Fortunately, this was a five-year replacement for my son's Escape so I should have another three years before I need to deal with the Maverick.

I know moving them to service position is the correct way to do it. But for the one time a year I move them manually to replace the blades, I don't think I'm going to tear them up.

Must. Not. Buy. 3. D. Printer.

I was being facetious. But the AGM feels a lot heavier than the old lead acid... or maybe I'm just getting old...
