added the Mabbett mudflaps I got for Christmas and hauled a couch and chair to put together when I got home.

Yup, my Wrangler had a frontal load limit thing. Basically could tow a nice amount but most travel trailers wouldn't fit the frontal load requirement so it was pop ups as all that truly fit.

Favorite... Buc-ee's. Mostly for the burritos. But the nearest one of those is about 600 miles away. Favorite I do is my own but there's a local touchless here with a good undercarriage spray (Minnesota salt) that I hit all winter.

Is the fan running slower at the higher temperature to keep the temperature required? AKA say at max speed your fan blows at a rate of 100 cubic feet of air per minute. And when it's 10 degrees outside and you want it at 85 inside, you need to heat up air 75 degrees through the heating...

Yup, Navy Fed here (have to be service or veteran though). I went in with the loan check at 4.49% and their sales guy asked if we had payment. I told him yes, unless Ford could do better, he didn't even bother asking the finance guy.

What you really want is any pair with the anti-glare or anti-reflective coating. The yellow tint works by filtering out blue light (the one most likely to cause glare when it enters the eye). It's literally blocking that light out, aka potentially hurting your actual night vision and what...

Not talking the tinted glasses with the yellow, but actual night driving glasses with the anti-reflective coating. That said I did like your idea of lights that "aim" as a future solution to get the best of both worlds, more light to avoid accidents, but less in a drivers face, especially...

That makes it a tougher issue to fix then. Improved lighting isn't going away, people can grumble all they want, but that's not happening. So, if it's not about making the equipment in place safer, then we need to look at the other side of the equation, the operator. And maybe having a test...

I think this is on the right track. Lights shouldn't be hitting a person full bore in the face. Yes add enforcement and make the penalties something that makes it tough to swallow for those to want to do that anyways. The oil change is a neat one but misses out on EV's... so maybe tire changes?

Agree, that brighter lights only make it safer for the 2/3 on the road as you point out. And that brings up an issue for sure here on what we should do if we can make roads safer for people and pedestrians by increasing lighting, what happens to those with poorer night vision who become even...

It seems odd but I've played a little with hypermiling years ago for fun. I sped WAY more when hypermiling. Every hill, on the way down, flick it into neutral and I'd be coasting and building up as much speed as I could then coast as much as I could the way up forget braking to stay within the...

Shoulda bought one in red, everyone knows the red ones go faster.

Nice! I got a couple sets of L track and cut them up and did something quite similar. I did the same, didn't clear for every bolt. My straps have a 500lb capacity. The M8 screws I have have a 251 lb pull out rating with a half inch of thread in. That's not my worry either. Maybe if in...

Night Driving Glasses: What to Know | Pearle Vision Rather than ban escalators since some people use wheelchairs, I would much rather we give them options as well. That way we can have escalators in large areas where lots of people are moving up and down, but also elevators for those who...

I believe Ford only shares detailed info with insurance companies through LexisNexis and that may require an opt in. They can share aggregate info (like 70% of driving by maverick drivers happens during the day and fords are piled up at this interstate in rush hour in NYC, etc). Might be...

I lived in Garden City Kansas for a while. Wichita was about 3.5 hours away and the closest "big city" we would go to now and then. Denver 7 hours OKC 5 hours Kansas City 6 hours Tulsa 6 hours Albuquerque 7 hours It was truly feeling like the middle of nowhere in Kansas. At least we had a...

I got the tailgate liner when it was on sale. Maverick 2022-2025 Tailgate Liner Kit | Accessories | Ford.com Easy install and I'd already gotten a mat with a set of rubber footmats off Amazon, so figured this would have me pretty well covered now. 8 screws, so easy to remove once in winter...

1) Do dealers really only make $580 profit on a Maverick, or are there incentives/rebates? I don't think they have incentives or rebates now, not likely to with the 2024's even with a refresh coming since not many are on lots or struggling to move. I will say when I worked weekends for a...

When you buy a car, that dealership has your info. Most people change out their vehicles every 2-3 years. They have a computer program that spits out daily calls and such for their sales team at certain dates, so 2 years come up, your number pops on a sales guys call list. They want to get...

That's your payload. The maximum payload for your vehicle appears on the Tire and Loading label. The label is either on the B-pillar or the edge of the driver door. So 400lb hitch weight. Lets say you move your propane bottle and are 390 there with a 20lb bottle in the back. Your vehicle...
