Sorry for your loss. That had to be heart wrenching to have your brand new truck totaled like that because someone was probably tailgating.

A couple more things to improve: *The button for the cab lights does not have a light that illuminates on the switch so you have to be remember top turn it off if you turned it on. * I HATE HATE the motion block on the audio system as I've said many times. I guess though that's the suck...

Yes either black or a dark charcoal grey would have made more sense to be compatible with every exterior color. I have an Area 51 so the blue interior was a good match but with some colors such as Cyber Orange it was a little bit of a mismatch.

Some things in the scheduled maintenance you DO NOT want to follow. Some of the intervals are ridiculous. No way I would go to 150k for transmission fluid! I had a 2018 Ford Escape that used the 6F35 transmission (the 8F35 is basically an improved version) and I changed it at 30K and it was...

What you think I'm exaggerating? I've talked to other Maverick owners in person and they've told me that thier Maverick interior scratches easily also. There were several posts on this forum as well. Mine is a 2022 and unless they changed the interior plastics in the 2023's and 2024's, yes, it...

Got mine from Flood Ford. Make sure you spend the extra $70 for the light protection. From what I understand our headlights use non-replaceable LEDS, so if one goes you have to replace the whole headlight unit.

Well I will give my 2 cents since I test drove a Santa Cruz AWD with the 2.5 non-turbo. The Maverick has better, more useful bed. For the price of the SC SEL AWD, I was able to buy A Maverick XLT ecoboost AWD with the luxury pkg for about $300 less. My Maverick had about 55 more hp and better...

Crows are very smart. Some scientists say as smart as a 7 year old and equal to a chimp. They do use tools and solve complex puzzles.

I'm going to stop by the shop that installed them and maybe have them check the balance. Doesn't seem like a balance issue to me though. As I said they feel kind of unbalanced when cold but they smooth out when I drive a couple miles. Don't feel any kind of shimmy in the steering wheel. I check...

I believe it's the law in many states that any shop that does oil changes HAS to accept used oil. Some used motor oil is used for ship fuel. Those turbine engines will burn just about anything.

I started changing my own oil since the dealer takes all day to do an oil change now. I change the oil and leave it 1/2 quart lower than the capacity. Start the engine let the oil circulate. Pull the dipstick and check it ad then add oil to bring it up to the top of the XXX mark on the dipstick...

I put a set of Continental CrossContact LX25's on my 2022 Ecoboost AWD XLT Maverick and so far I'm hating them. I replaced the stock factory Continentals at around 15k because they had these vertical dimples in the sidewalls. Always like the upgraded Continentals on previous vehicles in the past...

Going from a 225 or 235 to a 255 and from an 18 to a 20" wheel WILL impact gas mileage. Sorry but that is just physics. A wider tires creates more rolling resistance with the road. A larger wheel is not only heavier but creates more rotating mass. Car and driver did a test years ago to...

How does that work? It's not like you open the drain screw and the oil drains straight down. It always comes out in a slanted stream until it gets low.

A late reply but here goes. I replaced the Continentals that came from the factory (Procontact TX) with Continental CrossContact LX25's. They were a highly rated tire. I satyed with the same size 225/65-17. Here are my impressions: > for the first 300 miles they were a bit squirrely until they...

Great idea. Definite improvement over the 2X6 wood I have in there now. I will be making me one. The wood is a pain to lift and it has warped slightly. I bought this collapsible cargo container on Amazon. Fits between the tailgate and divider perfectly. Nice quality. Ordered one for my aunt...

How about a video?

A good place to start researching certain tires is Tire rack even if you're not buying tires from them. They do testing on some of the tires and have videos and they list the specs of the tires they sell.

Anyone else hate the automated toll systems? In September I drove down to Maryland through Pennsylvania there and back. I got a toll bill in October. Okay. I sent them a check. Thought that was it. Then last week I get ANOTHER toll bill from Pennsylvania. ARRGH :mad:. What they hey. Seems they...

Got my first scratch at the dealer. When I had my airbag recall done, the mechanic must have rubbed up against the body right by the drivers door with a tool or something. I tell you, everytime I pick my vehicle up after service I do a walk around to check for damage. That's what it's come to...
