Do you have a Costco near you? I’ve bought several sets of tires from them, not many brands available but Michelin they do have. Only negative is you have to wait about a week, Sam’s pretty much matches Costco prices and I’ve used them as well on a BMW.
I went to Mavis because I had a big nail/screw in one. I told the manager I would just get them at Costco unless he could get close to their price. He did, $881 installed with tax in Richland County South Carolina. . He only had one customer in the shop so he needed business. Ordered them but...
Toyota probably waited for Ford to raise prices to where they can actually make money. Ford couldn’t have made much money on the 22’s or 23’s. Toyota is pretty proud of the new Taco, they raised it $3-$4K if you compare the SR5 from 23-24. They could easily plop a truck body on the RAV4 hybrid...
When my air bags were replaced and I got the truck home I noticed spots all over the area around the air bags on the interior roof. I was not up for driving it back and going thru the hassle of dealing with them after leaving it several days. I found that Tuff Stuff foam cleaner works really...
Had mine since March of 22, sits outside in hot South Carolina and exterior has held up great. Definitely get front window shades to save your dash and front interior.
Ford lost $1.2 Billion on EV’s the first quarter of 2024 and expect to lose $5 billion for the year. I ran a $180 million business and our goal was to make money. We didn’t sell loss leaders, we at least broke even in margin on our worst margin items.
Insurance is 30% more for EV according to Wall Street Journal, average damage is $6,000 to repair vs $4,000 for ICE. Hard to get parts and shops can’t fix them. Resale value has gone into the shitter for EV’s as well, just don’t hold their value.
Another Turtle Wax Hybrid vote, so easy and it lasts. My truck is parked outside in South Carolina heat and it holds up. Cerakote for the black trim also works amazing, keeps it black and beads after 6 months but it is expensive.
Mine works on my iphone 15 with the latest IOS but will not work on my ipad with the latest IOS. Continues to say wrong email or password, deleted app, reinstalled, triple checked my password but no luck.
I replaced my Continentals about two weeks ago at 20,000 miles with Michelin Defender 2 with 80,000 specs. What a difference in noise and ride, even got rid of most of my rattles in the dash.
I’m sure nothing can go wrong with that since every other sensor has to be reprogrammed, seems like they will be creating more problems than actually exist.
You can definitely lock your keys. In a 22 Maverick and open it with the keypad. My wife went to the dogpark and accidentally locked her purse in the truck without taking the key (truck is 30ft away from fence and maybe 100 ft away at any time. She had to borrow a cell phone and get the pad...
It lets the burning oil escape to the ground, Ford said they are still working on a solution. Some speculate a sensor with be added to shut down the engine if it throws a rod, camshaft , crankshaft etc. Chances are so slim oft his happening are so small. I’m more worried about them shutting down...
This has to be about the dumbest thread I’ve seen in years, a guy saying how screwed up Toyota planning and production is that ordered a 2022 hybrid which he never got and waiting at least a year and a half for a Maverick hybrid. . Again, how is the Ranger doing?
Two questions, charge battery through the engine (not under seat) and I have no idea how to reset the BMS? It is driven every day but 10-15 miles usually.
Hey I was expecting power loss before the recall so I’m really on alert. I’ve has deep sleep probably a dozen times or more in two years we don’t get much cold weather in South Carolina. Just leaving the doors open for 10 minutes while vacuuming has caused before. They didn’t address the deep...
