The engine will not be happy spinning at max RPM for extended lengths. The power surge you feel is the truck applying more power in a heavy load scenario, anticipating further resistance. If you feel it kicking in and out, thats a good indication the load you are carrying is not heavy enough to...

For loads like this a cheap utility trailer pays for itself. A cheap 4x6 trailer is easy to move, will haul more, and you can beat it up without feeling bad, especially if you buy a used pre dented one. Once it begins to fall apart sell it for scrap and buy another. Anything that gets dropped...

Carbon buildup is just a fact of life on DI engines. Top tier fuels wont help much....the detergents in the fuel dont touch the valves because DI. Some say it burns cleaner and this makes a difference, I say its astrology signs for car bros. If you are spraying a cleaner, make sure you do it...

Green is the best color and it is a shame it was a 1 year option. They should have phased out one of the grayscale colors and kept the green. Not to get too far off topic here, but since significant money is spent to subsidize the fossil fuel industry, we could reduce that subsidy and use that...

Some people take crazy risks. My 91 had the original tires when I bought it....in 2018. They had been towing a 6 ton travel trailer on 20+ year old tires, dry rot and all.

Eh...this is what I get for trusting brave search instead of Google for the spec number Hybrid oil is found here https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/hybrid-2-5l-oil-that-meets-fords-wss-m2c962-a1-spec-list-and-comments.48875/

Any engine oil that meets or exceeds Ford WSS-M2C961-A1 requirements is fine. The Bronco forums compiled a list of all 5W-30 oils that meet this criteria. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/bronco-motor-oil-compilation-list-that-meets-ford-spec-wss-m2c961-a1.82783/

You ever heard of this mystical substance called ice? Or snow? 1 wheel traction is absolutely a thing.

Because you wanted a less reliable powertrain? The eCVT is a proven toyota level reliable part, while the 8f35 is an achilles heel with a known design flaw. It is the same transmission. The 7 speed just disables 2nd gear, which is rarely used in the normal gasser models. If you keep it in...

But then you also have to hand unload all of them. PITA.

Gas brand is like Astrology for car guys. I mean, look how many guys claim that the top tier detergents will keep their valves clean....while running DI engines that dont spray the fuel on the valves, and thus, receive no cleaning, hence why DI engines need periodic valve cleaning done. Unless...

think about this for a second. If your transmission is a quart low, and you do as you just claimed.....your transmission with new fluid is still a quart low. You would have no way of knowing, because the only way to ensure it is full is to have a small amount of fluid leave the inspection...

The plastics in the Mav are indeed rental car spec, perhaps lower. My GLI was said to have a relatively low rent interior compared to the GTI, comparable to base Jettas which are commonly used as rentals. Yet the interior quality blows the Mav away. The plastics where your arm sits, or where the...

All mine are done, since my city has a nasty habit of putting the traffic lights directly ABOVE the line where you stop, instead of across the intersection where you could....you know, see them? So int he morning you gotta pull yourself forward and look directly up into the bright sun.

These ecoboosts are only rated for 22 city in the first place. Up-sized tires will hurt MPG, and a ladder rack is going to destroy your aerodynamics. City driving is also highly subjective, because unlike the highway, city driving can vary wildly. In my city, I tend to hit 1-2 MPG above...

If 20k miles is "way better" then any of these third party manufacturers can manage, then none of them would be in business. That assumes, of course, that none of these companies are the ones that supply the big OEMs. Ford's early CV axles had Hyundai stamping on them, and who knows who was...

The same vendor makes the same CV axles for Hyundai. Mysteriously, Hyundai doesnt have these rampant CV boot failures. This points to either Ford demanding a cheaper design that fails too soon (they have a history of doing this) or they are using the part out of spec and were forced to...

Did you read the OP or immediately jump to complaining? She made it clear that 1) they use the bed of their maverick, so not beign able to is a major inconvenience. 2) the dealer is claiming this repair will take MONTHS, when parts are readily available 3) the alternative provided is a Bronco...

Looks great! Now see, that's what ford should have done for the 2025+....

And here we were told for years that cars didnt have colors anymore because they dont sell and nobody wants them. Whoops! Turns out people do like colors and will buy them if you bother to offer them. Whouda thunk it.....
