Just installed a Softopper too just this weekend. We needed the extra bed space for our vacation in Canada. Love the "safari" look and removal/storage capability of this top since I use a Bak X4s rolltop for everyday use and switching them out is quick and easy. Granted it's not secure like...
Awesome rooftop tent for your rack. I watched the video on their website and it looks very compact and easy to set up. Enjoy your maiden voyage and let us know how it performed. Makes me wish I was 50 years younger.
If the value of the car goes up (we have a "replacement" policy), the cost of your policy may go up. We had this happen for our Tesla the first year after it was initially added. The collision part went up $500 from the previous year since the cost to repair or replace the car had increased...
Looks great and kudos for having the courage to put it on yourself! I opted to pay a professional to do mine and the two sides are still not exactly at the same height.
Great write-up, thank you. Truly appreciate the details and explanation of the best use of the different driving modes. As a newby to hybrids, I need all the information I can get. I'm interested in any future evaluation you do on the Slippery mode.
Has anyone else gotten comments from back seat riders that the radio is too loud in the back when it's set it to a normal level for the driver in the front? I couldn't find anywhere in the manual that the volume in the back seat can be controlled separately.
Darn! I ordered a Muslogy tray two weeks ago and paid twice that price.
Regarding rattling, a couple pieces of this thick double stick tape on the bottom fixes any noise...
Great video and the fender flares look great! I would love to add these on my Mav except for the exorbitant price I also have splash guards and don't know if these are compatible.
I had a 2004 red Baha for many years and loved the full back seat, truck bed, and 4 wheel drive. I called it my "wanna-be" truck because it was more of a car with a small truck bed. Like you said, ground clearance was an issue. I could and did get stuck in snow (>12 inches), even with the 4-...
That looks neat. Happy Doggies!
Maverick seat is about the same height as the EcoSport. Mugsy dog can jump in if he takes a run at it but sometimes has to scramble a bit. I can lift him in but he thinks that's embarrassing so we have a carboard box with carpet stuck on the top.
I tried a...
My pups weigh just shy of 50 lbs each and at my age (75++), lifting them in was getting to be a literal pain in the back. That's how I got started on the ramp search.
I was looking for a dog ramp to assist my senior dog in getting into the back seat of my Maverick as it's about 12-18 inches higher than my Mazda3 was. I found the WeatherTech EasyRamp. The ramp comes in three easy-to-assemble pieces.
For now, I only need to use two of the pieces but when my...
