We rode in one AFTER we bought it. Plenty of what we were looking for in them, closer to affordable 🤣, and reading reviews on this site, DONE. Love it still!!! Just need to install that cruise control stuff....
I completed a trip towing almost 2500 total pounds several weeks back and had no issues pulling the load. XL with Eco-boost, AWD, and WITHOUT 4K tow package. It pulled fine from starting to stopping and passing. NOW, having it in tow mode, with the trailer empty and then loaded, I averaged 19...
Pretty sure at one time Lawyers were decent people and there may still be a very few. These days though? This will probably go to court, cost you time and money, the lawyer gets paid no matter the outcome, and even if the other driver loses, he will be released to the public to do as he...
The police report is all you need to prevent the suit. That happened when a car full of illegals (yes the jumped out and ran except the driver) cut my wife off and she T-bone them.. Got a copy of the police report with signed affidavits from two witnesses and the drivers lawyer dropped the...
The issue is they have NO idea WHEN they can get a clip. But they CAN order an entirely NEW tonneau and use a clip off of it. This lack of supply crap is killing many businesses.
My wife tried to clip the tri-fold tonneau (Ford) with the plastic clips. One snapped and I noticed the bumps stops are missing. She brought it to the dealer (they installed it) and said a complete replacement tonneau will need to be ordered just to replace the plastic clip. I think the...
It's amazes me how so many people are "modifying" their Maverick's. Just double checked with our Ford dealer about changing the steering wheel buttons out for the cruise control and using Forscan to tell the computer I have it. They said the warranty will be void if I did so and proceeded to...
With the straight six it had plenty of torque and I did tow a 20' boat with it without issue. With a few tweaks to the engine the six banger became rather preppy too. The other Maverick called the Grabber, had a V8 and was a BLAST to drive. It would hold its own in a street race. Of course I...
Here is a picture of my very fist car. A 1970 Ford Maverick. I loved that car with its straight six cylinder engine. Don't remember how many miles I put on it. Now we have another Maverick, though it's a truck.
Hmmmmm, going to look into that. The Rostra requires wire splicing and soldering which I can do, but swapping out a switch is easier. The reprogramming concerns me, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
No dealer markup. They stuck to the MSRP! The extended warranty ran a little under $3000 and covers everything bumper to bumper. Now, the cruise control..... If I install it using the switch replacing the radio controls and then do the computer thingy, the entire steering column and steering...
Don't text and drive! Something I believe in. Why does the center display pop up "You have a text message. Open?" Or something to that effect. I saw it last night.
Let us know when and where the next gathering is so my wife and I can try to attend with our Velocity Blue Ecoboost AWD XL Maverick. She might even let me drive!!!!
My opinion after driving it for 14 miles. The wifey doesn't like being a passenger! It feels like a full size pickup from the inside. Road noise isn't as bad as the Outlander we had but rides rougher as we expected from a pickup. The interior is quite utilitarian and seems cleaning it should...
