How are you so lacking in forum etiquette that you dont know to post a link? Especially if you then act like an out of touch Boomer and lecture people about how lazy they are to not search things themselves? Yeah you are going to get flamed hard for that one. Both those things are considered...

Get an actual mechanic. Quick lube places are the lowest of the low and hire such. Or just do it yourself and save the $$$, while ensuring you get actual quality oil and filters and not whatever the minimum wage lube tech finds on a shelf that says 5w-30 on it.

Just more money hungry greedy executives fighting against their own customers. Firstly: no you cannot "find a junkyard unit". If the software is locked down,t hen you cannot swap anything of your own accord. And if Ford controls the magic digital keys, then they can snap their fingers and...

Notfast isnt trolling, OP asked for opinions and he gave his. Playing devils advocate is not trolling either. Dont do this passive aggressive high school stuff. Suggesting a moderator is needed because someone disagreed with you is how you destroy discourse and eventually the site as a whole...

More cooling is always better. If you're going to tow anything, may as well get it. It wont hurt to have it, but it can hurt to not have it. Difference there is the Hybrid deep sleep issue is an annoyance that has workarounds to fix it, the 8f35 failure is a $7000 smack in the face that can...

You're welcome! I'm glad you have an understanding of how social media posts on public forums work! An honest dealer wouldn't be selling you snake oil for $22 a can, or at all, especially on a truck with only 20k miles. Pretty much every modern turbo 4 uses low tension rings to hit MPG...

I know some people are absolutely enamored with the magical chatbot that is AI, but if you cant be bothered to actually summarize anything, it's no different to someone taking a screenshot of a google search. AI is often known to present incorrect information and it's not on the reader, but the...

It's sales were up 55% in 25 vs 24, so I highly doubt its going anywhere.

You got taken for a ride. The 2024 is a Direct Injection only engine. It does not spray the back of the valves. Unless they took your valve cover off and sprayed the valves directly, nothing was cleaned. Not that you would need anything cleaned at 20k miles anyway. Even the filthiest VW...

That because only Boomers watch TV anymore (the average age of a TV viewer is 74 years old)

Both of you are entitled to your opinions, but opinions break when subjected to reality. Go check the monthly sales numbers. They sold just as many Mavericks as they made. So clearly the price isnt an issue. Why would they charge less and make less money? That isnt how Capitalism works, or...

With any leather, Ventilated is a bare minimum, and IME most ventilated seats have a very disappointing amount of airflow.

I like the new 6th gen ranger, but the lack of a 6' bed in the States is a deal breaker. If I'm going to be stuck with a tiny bed, I'd rather have the Mav's better handling and efficiency and load height ece ece. But if I could get a Ranger with a 6', or even better, the 7' bed they offer in...

Assuming OP owns his own house. If he's one of the ~45% of Americans that lives in an apartment or condo, you're not allowed to do your own work. Part of the reason I bought one....

MSRP for a base XL $27,145k, $29,685 after delivery. That's for a FWD mavboost with no features or options, including no tow hitch. The effective base MSRP now is $30k for any Mav you will see IRL. Effective minimum for a Lariat is $40k. And people buy them. Me, I'd happily pay Lariat...

Hybrids were once very supply constrained, and I believe they are still restricted by how many hybrid components they can source. Looking around me you see the same thing at every dealer within 500 miles. Multiple Eco boosts on the lot, usually 2-3k under MSRP, hybrids are far fewer in quantity...

So was not having the 10 way seating available on the Escape. Why cant I have a seat tilt in a truck? I'd happily pay a premium if a brand would let me choose whatever seat. Like, sure, here's another $3000 for a Recaro ergonomic seat. No problem.

We're not making them as smooth as possible. There's lots of pits and gullies and jagged edges that catch the wind under the maverick. If you were making a racecar, then having a flat bottom with dimples and long skirts as close to the surface as possible would produce a very slippery shell...

You'll notice, if you read my comment again, slowly, that I never said oil separators were new. Only that many earlier DI engine designs did not include them by default. This includes Ford designs. Once carbon buildup became a more noticeable issue, manufacturers began including them to cut down...

Yes. Undercar aerodynamics are hell. this is why modern vehicles have such a tall chin under the front bumper - the less air flows under the vehicle, the less under vehicle bits create massive drag. Raising the front to "level" the truck makes it easier for air to get underneath and drag back...
