  1. Rams CEO believes people don’t want compact truck in the US .

    Actually, many people do need the larger trucks. There are 11 million registered RV trailers on the road today. (from state active regisrations). There were close to 75,000 new 5th wheels manufactured this past year which will, or have been sold. I live in a rural state with a lot of ranches...
  2. Rams CEO believes people don’t want compact truck in the US .

    I like that idea! Would be a great inexpensive model for those on a tight budget. Better than buying a used truck that has been ran to death. Not sure, but I think the gub-mint mandated the backup camera.
  3. Given an unlimited budget, what would you do to make the Maverick interior nicer?

    Easy fix. 9mm, two magazines. Plenty of ventilation, then reinstall in vehicle! See how easy that was!
  4. Given an unlimited budget, what would you do to make the Maverick interior nicer?

    Yep! Me also. No chimes, no messages. I enabled Traffic sign recognition, disabled a few other things. Like a real car should behave!
  5. Dealer does not make appointments for service

    Dealer (Kendall Ford) in Boise will do oil change and minor, easy fixes, including just looking at an issue with no appointment. i think they call it "Quick Lane" or something like that. I usually call ahead to check though, they get busy and it is first come first serve. I'm retired, so no...
  6. Getting wipers out of parked position for cleaning

    You are correct. Can't wait until they combine MODEL YEARS also. Hahaha. A manual 6 inches thick that includes 22-26 years. Oh boy, hope Ford doesn't read this. I may have started a nightmare! But just think of they money they could save! $.03 on EACH truck! Give that CFO a raise and...
  7. Getting wipers out of parked position for cleaning

    That is funny! "I do remember the take it for a longer drive" thing. I drove about 175 miles once, got out visited for about an hour. Car was in the sleep save mode! You are correct about the folks that design, build and write the manuals. I wish they were model specific, XL this manual...
  8. Complete electrical failure at 45MPH

    I completely understand you frustration and concern for you and your familys safety. All of us have an expectation of certain features which should ALWAYS function on our vehicles. I don't blame you for moving on. My concern level is very similar to yours. I can put up with the screen lock...
  9. Getting wipers out of parked position for cleaning

    This sentence makes me wonder the intention. " Do not force them while the car is off/in accessory mode to avoid stripping the motor." Does it mean car IS actually turned OFF and IN ACCESSORY mode (Key turned to accessory and dash panel lit up? ) I could see if power is being supplied to the...
  10. Getting wipers out of parked position for cleaning

    Yeah, I learned this way of doing it a couple years back. I think it was a Glen Baker post, that guy is great! Slow and easy, just move them, move them back. No spline problems, no motor problems and no worries.
  11. Ontario Mav Owners-Truck Plates or Car Plates?

    It's a gub-mint. Single digit IQ individuals, most with some type of agenda, or in need of campaign cash are not border specific. We definitely have our share here in the U.S.
  12. Meet the Redesigned "Latch-Safe" Maverick Hood Strut Kit by MRT

    I bought and installed these about a year back. Mine are most likely not the super duper new ones, but I have had zero issues with them. Having had a couple Jeeps, I hate the "prop rod". Just me. These will however "cheat" you of about 2 inches when open. Watch out for your head!
  13. Article: My Name Is Sal Gusmano, and I Break Ford Vehicles for a Living (at Michigan Proving Grounds)

    Maybe they run EVERY SINGLE Maverick through that course! And just think, they don't even charge extra for the rattles, wow, we are so lucky!
  14. 2022 Maverick EcoBoost - 165,000 Mile Review

    Yes and you make a great point! I NEVER blamed anyone but me when I destroyed something. If this guy is blaming Ford for his acts, then he is absolutely wrong! And if his warranty was good and he was found to be running that Mav like a rocket, then that should be on him. I never had a car...
  15. 2022 Maverick EcoBoost - 165,000 Mile Review

    I don't know. I kind of like seeing a video where a vehicle is pushed up to and past it's limits. We all know what the manufacturer says is the limits and we know for a fact they lie. There are tolerances or limits PAST what the manufacturer say they are. Old guys like me violated the rules...
  16. Cheap auto-dimming, homelink mirror

    Edit: Edit: My bad, just realized I replied to a post about3 years old. Duh. Need to check my eyes. Also the price on the unit is now $11. I bought one as well. Can't beat it, and can resell even if it doesn't work on the Maverick. There have been many, myself included that have done this. I...
  17. Finally caught this little guy

    Western Colorado mid 90's. Little rat here, caught a few close to 20 inches! This guy was making a home in my grill "Bushy tail packrat" Kind of handsome fellow and I do like the eyes! f
  18. Pay-per-mile vs Gas Tax

    Had thieves going along the railroad track stealing copper overhead lines buck n the 90's. Those are only 12V lines, so not dangerous. They had reels mounted on back of truck, similar to wht power companies have. Stole miles and miles over a few weeks, just driving along pulling them down as...
