You mean the manufacturer who tells us to use 87 octane in our Hybrids? Yet people keep saying they use higher octane for [insert bad assumption here] reason.

Heck, I LOVE my Maverick, but if someone offered me a brand new Corvette Z06 as an even trade, I'd probably take it as well... And the Corvette isn't even a truck! PS - I'm only saying that because my Cyber Orange Maverick got scheduled, so I would only be truckless for a couple of months or...

Just a few years ago, it cost a fortune to upgrade standard lights to halogen lights, and everyone thought they were the be-all/end-all... Now they are "garbage"? That's downright funny to me...

The only problem with what you're saying (and doing) is that you're recharging the HVB (High Voltage Battery) and not the 12V battery, which is where you're measuring the voltage. And while it's true the the HVB charges the 12V battery (via the DC-to-DC inverter), braking region, driving in "L"...

You know, your comment would probably be better received without the "Grasshopper" lead-in... And while I'm pretty sure you meant for that to be humorous, It does makes it sound a bit like you're one the "master" and the guy asking the question is your bondservant pupil who needs to earn your...

Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out the irony of calling that "racing"... That kind of stuff is the reason I'm real big on NASCAR racing, through I do enjoy pretty much all other forms of auto racing. "Go 230 mph and turn left" and "Get up under him" just doesn't translate as "racing"...

FWIW, I think Area 51 is pretty good at hiding "normal" dirt, road grime, etc. Much better than Black or any of the other blues. (Is A51 really blue, or is it a bluish gray shade? I have no idea.) In any case, I find that I mostly wash the truck because the windows are getting dirty - you...

Years ago, I bought an 8-year-old Honda Accord hatchback (one of the first model years) from my father-in-law. It had close to 80K miles on it, and he tole me he had never rotated the tires, only replaced the fronts (FWD) when needed. He also said the rear tires still had half their tread left...

So his first Maverick was free? I doubt that... He either paid cash or took out a loan. If he paid cash, he's getting back part of what he already paid for the truck. If he has a loan, that loan will need to be paid off before he's "free and clear." Trust me, the insurance company isn't...

And I could just as easily "suspect" that ACC is derided by those who want to be on their phones while driving, since ACC REQUIRES you to keep your hands on the wheel a substantial percentage of the time, or it shuts off. Both of us would be guilty of stating opinions and claiming them to be...

Where are you getting this information? There were literally dozens of Lariat Hybrid Lux 360+Assist "order scheduled" letters sent out just last week (4/13). The "Assist" package is not, nor has it ever been, a "constrained item" on the weekly reports from Ford.

Aimed at anyone in particular, or just the entire MTC group?

Dang! Wish I was close to Iowa - I'd let them use mine in a heartbeat!

The shutters are clearly visible behind the grill, and in front of the radiator.

Well, I spotted them - right there on his tailgate.

I asked one person about whether removal of the two bottom shutters, which a required step in the Roadmaster baseplate installations. His response was that Ford had ordered dealers to remove four "blinds" (movable shutters) to comply with the Recall 22S47, so how could it possibly be a big...

My first-year Taurus SHO was speed governed to 143 mph, and was still pulling strong until the governor kicked in. Or so I've heard...

Well, I love my Maverick, but this thread is just funny! (Does that count as "Maverick stuff"?)

Here's a chart that reflectgs industry-standard data for 12V batteries and state of charge. It appears to indicate that 11.8-12.0 is about 35%-50% state of charge.

It's pretty worthless - you should give it to me... LOL Just kidding. I like old coins, but it's been years since I've followed what something like that might be worth. If it's in decent condition, I suspect it's worth more than you might think!
