Many cars used to come with door molding back in the day. Still got door dings. Unfortunately, the problem is that doors aren't straight edged, especially the rear doors that have a curve to go over the rear wheel cut out. Even if the molding was in the center, a good chance the rear door of the...
Toyota got hit especially hard because of thier supply practice. Toyota tried not to stock an excess of parts. They did not want to stockpile parts, so they were getting in parts shortly before the cars were being made as projected by need. So when the Covid thing started, they kindof got caught...
So the XL & XLT doesn't have the DRL on the top like the Lariat. What do they use as DRL's. My 2018 Escape does it old school. If I put the headlight switch on the auto setting (in the daytime), the headlights only come on at a lower intensity. Is it the same with the XL & XLT? Or do they not...
Took a CUCV on the autobahn once. Got it up to about 109 mph. Had the diesel in it. I had 2 magnet mount orange gumball emergency lights on the roof. When i got like over 80 mph, the lights blew off the top of the roof, lol. Luckily the wires that went from the lights to the inside power source...
The AWD gets the independent rear suspension whereas the FWD gets a trailing twist beam. Not sure why they did 2 different suspensions. My 2018 Escape FWD has the same suspension as the AWD. Independent rear suspension. Only difference is the AWD had a larger hump in the rear seat area to...
The Maverick I test drove was a 2.0L AWD with the FX4 & tow package. I noticed a little tire noise, but that could have been becuase they were the AT tires and not worn in yet. I did notice quite a bit of wind noise even though it wasn't that windy outside. I heard a couple owners had bad door...
Did you call the Ford number or talk to your dealer first or did you cancel already? Yeah it's frustrating not hearing anything. Chances are, right after you cancel, the maverick will be built.
Also happened with the Scion XB. The Scion brand was targeted at younger people. The XD however was a miss with younger people. Older people were buying them because they realized with the back seat down it was like a mini mini van and was great for hauling bags of mulch back from Home depot...
That's pretty good. That's the same as the Honda CR-V with the 1.5L turbo. For comparison, my 2018 Escape with the 2.5L 168 hp and FWD weighs about 100 lbs less than the Maverick hybrid and still only manages about a 9.2 sec 0-60.
Wonder why the governor kicks in at 109 mph? Why so low? The Escape uses the same engine and 8 speed transmission. The 2.0L Escape's governor is 126 mph, the 1.5L is 122 mph. Did they maybe use a lower gearing on the Maverick? What gives Ford?
Sounds like an angry person. The Maverick's front doesn't look cartoonish or look like a grin. he must have been high or something. The previous Mazda 3 had what appeared to have a mouth on the front. Ugly design that got a lot of scorn from reviewers and rightfully so. Often referred to as the...
Just know that even if you order the same size wheels and plan on just swapping the tires from one set of wheels to the other, it's going to cost you about $200 to swap. My Escape S came with 17" steelies with hubcaps so I bought the OEM 17" alloys and swapped the tires. The mounting and...
Some of us peasants would just be happy at this point to get an order confirmation from Ford. We haven't gotten zilch. ordered 11/1 and haven't gotten a single email.
I remember when the Mk3 Focus was released in North America for the 2012 model year. Then the ST was released for 2013 and Focus owners were trading in thier 1 year old (or less) Focus's for the ST and taking a bath on the payments.
1986 Dodge Omni GLH-S. Only 500 made and all sold directly as factory orders. 0-60 mph in 6.5 secs with a top speed of 130 mph. The next year the 1987 Dodge Shelby Charger was released with the same engine. 0-60 mph in 6.7 secs with a top speed of 137 mph. 1000 of those were made. I had a 1986...
