  1. Technology Rant

    Well mine does not... I guess I'll revisit the tech expert at my dealer again But different years have different capabilities... just as an XLT may have a different remote than a fancier trim level truck. Another dumb move IMHO

    I always have... I guess my $31,000 tire gauge has failed me!
  3. Using the Maverick for a little hauling...

    It's a former dirt track motor from a late model stock car.... 340 from a '73 Dodge Challenger. I bought it to build to use in my '65 Dodge Coronet but other more important stuff has come up so I sold it and delivered it to it's new owner in Michigan.
  4. Using the Maverick for a little hauling...

    A Mopar engine block, some Peterbilt parts and a Christmas tree.
  5. Theres no market for 4 door pickups...

    With the pending repeal of some EPA regs small cheaper trucks may reappear in the marketplace. Regular cabs would likely bevthe least expensive and I'm sure would fit the budget of plenty of business's.
  6. Technology Rant

    Wiith the onset of winter the tire pressure needs to be adjusted. I usually use my trusty tire gauge but I thought I would try the new fangled gaugescon the dash screen. So I set all four tires to 35 psi. Great. After driving one city block each tire now registers a different pressure... 28 psi...

    22-24 around my small town with some highway driving. 27-28 highway and 28-29+ using premium Top Tier fuel. We are talking 75-80 mph driving (sometimes higher) not 55 in the left lane with the left turn signsl on.
  8. The Maverick is a full size truck*, change my mind

    Most of that stuff I don't want. My dually has a/c , power windows and locks and tilt/cruise. The basic 727A package that Ford installed on millions of F series during the 90's. A truck so equipped will outlast all these hi optioned electronic whiz bang vehicles being sold today. I really...
  9. The Maverick is a full size truck*, change my mind

    Really... have fun with the food shortages after you rely on a 4.5' bed to supply your grocery warehouse. Look around you... everything you see came by truck... big trucks. Everything you buy, eat, drive, wear Without trucks you'd be naked, homeless and hungry.
  10. The Maverick is a full size truck*, change my mind

    I also have a Peterbilt that pulls a 53' trailer...it's a big beautiful world out there!
  11. The Maverick is a full size truck*, change my mind

    An oversize vehicle is more than 108" wide...any vehicle more the 96" wide requires roof clearance lights and rear and sidemarker lights like those found on duallys. Any cargo longer than 4' off the rear would need an oversize permit. My dually is not oversized... just the right size for many...
  12. The Maverick is a full size truck*, change my mind

    THIS is a full size pickup... the Maverick falls well short of full size.
  13. Ford Unveils New Dealership Design and Sales & Service Experience

    How much will this deal cost the dealer? Ford would like to limit their sales to huge dealer groups eventually having company stores. Here in WI the manufacturers are banned from selling direct to consumers as I recall. Butbthat would change once $$$ changes hands in the legislature. When I...
  14. Maverick owners demographics - just curious

    This is a family vehicle for us but really is my wifes daily driver. I'll be 77 in Dec. Been a gear head all if my life. Trucker since '72 still working PT 30-60 hours per week. Raced dirt tracks for 20+ years. Former race promoter... ran classic car shows, swap meets etc for many years. Owned...
  15. Tire rotation question.

    I had two tires have tread seperations this year. One, on my '64 Dodge projects, blew out while parked in my storage area next to my shop... since the car has been parked since 1984, I'm guess it was over 40 years old. The second, on my '87 F350, had a three digit date code which would be...
  16. Tire rotation question.

    The " directional" rotation is when you have directional tread tires on your ride... they mustv always rotate in the same direction
