I just received an email from Ford encouraging me to take my Mav to the trained Tech's at my local dealer for service I can trust, accompanied by the following photo. I'm not much of a mechanic, but I don't think you're supposed to crank on the lug nuts without the car up on a jack.

You guys talked me into it, and I'm happy with the result.

Not quite true. A R-D probably isn't for you, not worth the money or trouble, a 10 over ticket once every 30 years isn't that big a deal, blah, blah, blah. But as Shakesbear said in an earlier post "... when the speed limit goes from 70 to 55 to 30 in about 150 yards (also known as "speed...

I'm old, don't speed much anymore, and haven't kept up with the technology. Are laser jammers even still a thing?

It gets even funnier when you figure out your insurance company subsidises the local police departments buying their equipment.

Does the strut make lifting the tailgate harder or slower? TIA

51 & 47 inches on my stock 2022 Hybrid.

And not only that, but using your right hand to open the door more or less forces you to look in the mirror for a second. and you're less likely to open the door in front of a passing bicycle or city bus.

I think you'll also enjoy the smooth ride and smaller size. So much easier to navigate in smaller parking lots and such.

My truck is pretty level from left to right, with the front gaps at 5.5" and the rear gaps at 6.75"

What a great and awesome response! Except that my brakes are still grabby and my wife hates to drive the truck. Can't it be better somehow? Please? Come on Ford, you can do this.

I'm thinking you're over thinking this ultra minor problem. Put it all back together and drive on. Seriously,

Well, yeah, kind of, sorta. Except that the brakes are undeniably grabby. I don't know if it's just a Hybrid thing. My right foot has it all figured out 99% of the time, but my wife hates to drive the Mav.

I have to ask if it even really matters? I live near Seattle, Washington, where it rains all the time, and I've had my bed cover since almost the day I bought the truck three years ago. If I'm carrying anything that absolutely can not possibly get wet, I put it in the back seat, or I don't drive...

Despite your dismissal of black I'm going to encourage you to consider reflective black letters. I have reflective black on my Alto Blue Mav, and they NEVER, EVER look black. Sometimes medium gray, sometimes silver, and in the right light even a gold color. And the guy who's tailgating you at...

Not really enough information here. Do you carry heavy loads, tow trailers, or drive off-road?

Is any insurance ever worth it? If your car breaks down it is, you tell us if your Mav will need repairs and how much they'll cost, and we can then tell you if the insurance is worth it. Maybe more to the point, tell us about your risk tolerance. My 2022 Mav has been problem-free so far, and my...

And the 55K thing doesn't have anything to do with tread wear. It's just that if, by some miracle, you happen to get 56K miles of wear out of the tire, Continental is no longer responsible for manufacturer defects.

If you wouldn't mind, could you put up a photo of how you have the front wheel locked in place?

My initials are R. A. M., so this is what I've got on my truck...
