You can usually find replacements at home stores like Lowe’s.

When I towed the 16RB home around 100 miles on the winding foothills road from Camp Oaks the truck-trailer seemed to be twitching a little. It seemed to stop when I turned the truck sway control off. I’m not certain that they were fighting each other. I guess I could have tested it when I hit...

I recently returned from a 3600-mile trip towing my Rove Lite 16RB from Georgia to Colorado and back with my 2023 EB with 4K package. The Rove dry weight is around 2000 lb, so loaded up it was no more than 2500 lb. The trip was up through Nashville, north and west to St. Louis, then on I-70 to...

My cousin drove his mother’s 2017 Nissan onto a log, with very little apparent damage. The repair cost was over $8000 because of replacing various sensors in the front. The insurance company totaled it and gave her a little over $12,000. I think all the electronics are expensive, but I also...

People keep saying that the Maverick and the Ranger are different so you can’t compare them. How do you know they’re different? You compared them. If they were not different you wouldn’t have to compare them. I actually ordered a Ranger back in 2023 when Mavericks were so hard to find. But the...

Does the Bullet Point mount hold a Garmin GPS unit? I’m looking forward to seeing your setup.

Georgia law seems to prohibit mounting anything on the windshield except behind the rear view mirror. Is that where most of you are mounting your cameras?

Particulate filters are intended to reduce emissions of very small particles from the exhaust. Fine particulates cause multiple health problems, including: premature death in people with heart or lung disease nonfatal heart attacks irregular heartbeat aggravated asthma decreased lung function...

I’m not quite sure what you mean. My 2023 has started to act kind of strange. Every time I start the engine, the radio is tuned to the first preset, no matter what it was when I shut down. It has some other problems as well, like locking up occasionally. I have an appointment at the dealer for a...

When I first set out with the Rove to take it home from the dealer I felt a kind of twitchiness. I turned off the built-in sway control and it went away. I assume all Rove Lites have the trailer sway control, but I don’t know. I was on a winding two-lane road through the north Georgia foothills...

This is good information. I have a Rove Lite 16RB that weighs a few hundred pounds over 2000. It has a built-in sway control that conflicts with the Maverick’s sway control, so I have to turn the truck’s sway control off. I have towed only around 100 miles so far, so I don’t have enough...

And have you towed enough to know what the mileage is?

I’m having that problem now, too. I also lose the third page of my presets when I shut down, and have to go into the Sirius settings to turn it back on. My presets are saved. I need to get my recall done, so I’ll get that checked, too

I know others have mentioned problems with the infotainment system, and now I have started experiencing them with my ‘23 AWD Lariat. First I noticed that the third set of presets would not display. I had to go through the menu to go from two to three screens, and then all the presets were...

Several months ago I was driving across north Georgia with the on-board GPS, my iPhone Google maps, and my Garmin running. Just as I needed some direction at an upcoming intersection all three stopped working. It was clearly the GPS signal. They all started working again after about 15-20...

The Rove Lite is one of the few “lite” trailers that is actually lightweight.

My Maverick (EB with 4K tow package) and I picked up our new Rove Lite 16RB trailer on Thursday from Camp Oaks RV in Dahlonega, Ga. It’s about 100 miles from our home in Rome, Ga, on two-lane roads through the Appalachian foothills. I checked the mpg on the way over. The dash display showed...

I have been looking at the Rove Lite, too. I would be very interested in hearing what your mileage is while towing the RL.

I have looked at the T@b but I’m a little concerned with the 5’9” headroom. How do you find that?

Is Ford’s 4000 lb tow rating conservative? I certainly hope so. Good engineering practice would be to specify usage that is not close to a failure mode. That means you can almost certainly get away with towing heavier than 4000 pounds. How much more? Ten pounds? Certainly. Four hundred pounds...
