No more maintenance than a lawn mower. Change oil every other year, clean air filter. The Generac is set to do a self test run every other week for about 7 minutes. (user adjustable) Sends a message to phone letting you know all is good. Nothing else to do really.

What is your goal, home backup, or backup for camping? If home I would use the KISS (keep it simple Sergeant) rule. Havng lived in the middle of the woods in the past so to speak, we have had experience with the constant need of reliable/dependable power. Now we live in a subdivision, close...

I grabbed this from A.I., but this is what we did in the 70's. All we had was a regular multi-meter. I have not tried this in years, since haven't had any issues (not counting the Maverick which we know has some draw). Not even sure if this old method would work correctly on these newer...

I have read about these add on alarm systems from the dealers before and most is not good. Might cost some bucks, but if it were me, I would get it removed. Any good reputable automotive audio/alarm business should be able to get it done. That KARR unit is just another thing to keep giving you...

We usually buy the upsized super size meal. Our two adopted kids are way different than our biological children were at this age. VERY demanding and give you the stink eye if you come home without any leftovers. Here they are giving us "the look" because we brought home nothing!

i'm glad they got rid of "air pumps" and the stupid lines that ran into the exhaust manifolds in the early 70's Dumb idea to try and save the planet that didn't work and maintenance headache just getting spark plugs out! If I had a dollar for every one of those pumps that I "fixed" (or...

I'm not a fan for of start/stop. I know we have it and it's the way it has to work on our hybrids, but never understood the need on a regular ICE vehicle. I do have a question, our hybrids don't actually have a starter I believe? I think it starts by the wizardly electric "motor/generator"...

Prayers for you my friend! You will do fine. The tech and other advancements these last few years are helping so many. The 60's and early 70's were bad, but things have changed. We have 3 friends right now fighting it, doing the chemo and radiation and all are doing very well. Actually 4...

Thanks Glen. I rarely open truck with key, but had forgot about the alarm going off and the very short time you have to get in and get key in ignition! I need to remember that!

Thats a nice looking ride! I had heard of these, but have never seen one in person. I searched online and I see they are rare, especially 2001, only 451 made! Cool. What year is yours? And curious, MPG?

Had a friend who had T100. Nice truck, but way underpowered. He and I both bought Tundra in 2002 with the otional 4.7 (you could still get a V6). That 4.7 was a great, dependable engine. You could only get the crappy extended cab (suicide doors). Only wish I had gotten the optional...

Get a battery maintainer and plug it in whenever you are not driving your Maverick. Mostly a Hybrid thing, but not always!

You are correct. And for me it's a very short drive!

This guy loved his smart car. It woked well for him!

I have 2023 XLT Hybrid. doors always locked when flat towed, no problems. I hook up all electrical connections, including charge line and then go inside vehicle and set up flat tow. No problems with that, although once I did something out of order when doing the mandatory start and run every...

If you have not tried Forscan, that works fine to turn off hyperflash. You basically are turning off "bulb outage" setting. Doesn't bother me, I park in garage and check lights each time before I leave home. Don't even need to get out of the truck. I am most likely the luckiest guy on this...

Toyota could do like Ford with the old "bait and switch" on the price. Start off basically losing money for a couple years, then raise the price! If it worked for Ford, it can work for Toyota. If you think about it, other than pissing off a few people, it's a good business model that works.

Interesting read, thanks!

My best friend has the one ton, but no duallies. He kept ripping (or breaking) the rear fenders off when elk hunting, so went back to single tires on rear couple years back. Nice trucks and will pull anything you want. Like a tank, but surprizes me how smooth it rides. Wife and i have 40ft...

Yup, rode a lot of miles back there myself! Don't know if its true, but read somewhere a while back, that in some states it is child abuse charge for your kids riding in the back! Man, times have changed.
