Perhaps I am right. Oh, and I am from the state and go back there several times a year to see kids and such. Be careful if you visit and decide to drive too slowly! Introduction When it comes to safe driving, most people think about not exceeding the speed limit. However, driving too slowly...

You are correct about getting pulled over in RV, rarely see that. Most large motorhomes I notice are doing about 65, same as me for MPG issues. I have been passed once by a caravan of three "entertainer" buses doing about 85 plus. Easy to spot those, mostly black, no markings and have about 6...

Tom, I drive my motorhome 65 everywhere at about 7.5, sometimes 8 MPG. (diesel 40 footer). I tried 80 mph for fun a few years back. Got 5-6 MPG! No thanks. Be careful in Denver area. Passed a new law a few years back. If you drive the speed limit and most of the other traffic is running...

Hey Tom, depends on how many bourbons one has had. Number three (Elijah Craig small batch) for me! Have a great evening!

Had never heard of side mirrors that dim! Cool! You are right, the side mirrors catch a LOT of bright lights and not much to do about that. I will sometimes readjust the side mirrors so I don't get as much of those headlights, but then, it is sometimes hard to change lanes without a clear...

Those dash light bulbs (now led's) are very expensive for Ford. The recent budget meeting of company officers determined that the normal "LED" itself that should have been used was $ 0.02, much too expensive for production. So they decided to go with the $ 0.01, much dimmer model bulb. It...

You are right about those of us with the older trucks. 2023 XLT here and I can do all manual settings, which is what I do 99% of the time. I like just a fan on many times, coming through the face or floor (or both) vents, especially this time of year when don't need heat and don't usually...

Photo's on iPhone are in HEIC format by default and uses much less space than a jpg. jpg is much easier for using on an Windows devices, especially if one wants to make changes to the photo. Also, HEIC can't be uploaded to many sites and I think even our site, must be converted. Easily...

Glenn, we have the exact same truck 23 XLT. I wonder if where we live low humidity is playing a role. My AC acts exactly like yours does. I also turn off everything when parking for the night and nothing ever comes on the next morning. Maybe not humid enough for the AC to kick in?

Yes, in almost all modern vehicles, the air conditioning (AC) system automatically turns on when the defroster is activated. The AC acts as a dehumidifier, removing moisture from the air to clear fog or frost from the windshield much faster than heat alone.

Pushing the LEVER will only lock that single door. Pushing the actual electric lock BUTTON will lock them all.

They actually make two versions of Crown, one is basically the Avalon sedan, the other a clone of Lexus RX 350. I have driven both and little difference. It also compares close to the newer version (2024 Venza), but they quit making that one also.

Hey Glen Baker, this one's for you! Wife and I are thinking of getting rid of her 2014 Toyota 4Runner. She really likes it, but we don't need a large vehicle for her anymore. Anyway, she really likes the 2026 Toyota Crown Signia. Nice smaller SUV that replaced essentially both the Venza and...

You are correct with reference to paying in full every month. Wife and i (married 52 years) have been debt free since we were 57, including no house payments. We use Costco Visa and get back $600-$700 every year for a long time and make sure to pay it off in full monthly. Me thinks Visa...

Good change, but guess what? I'm old to and the next thing is, we start to lose THE KEY!!! Haha. Can't they invent a "siri" gal inside that little box that responds to "Hey girl, open the door"??

Yes, that is strange, but they both work. I just went and looked at my tailgate and the bolt looks to me to be TP45. My T50 fits perfect! I can't find my Torx Plus set, but when I do I will try the TP45 on it also. EDIT: Maybe my eyes are crossed. I did a "relook", now it looks like a T50...

Is it possible Ford ran out of TP 50's and put in T50's? Threads and pitch, everything else is the same I assume?

Does one have to pay to check the oil also? Wait, how about air pressure caps at $50 each each time you check air pressure!!!

Oh boy, you just had to go and give them (Ford) an idea! You're banned for life young man!!! Haha Kidding aside, don't be surprised if they come out with anything new to keep us from doing our own work.

Thanks Glen. Did not realize we had the "plus". Are all the Torx screws on Mavericks the plus ones, or just these ones you are showing? Just curious. I already have a set.
