There's been a couple threads. Mostly on Hybrids. The hybrids use a fully electric brake system, so hypothetically if you lose all power you also lose your brakes. But I'm still highly suspect. There are multiple redundant sensors in the brake system and the default behavior if the sensors...

Not wrong on any levels. Walking across the street CAN be unsafe., That has nothing to do with the subject at hand. This is what we call a "red herring" argument. Towing 50% over your rated tow rating isnt safe, there's a reason that exists. And I hope you dont put innocent people at risk...

No, Bro. All 3 states you listed also require the towing vehicle " must be of sufficient size and weight to safely control towed vehicle." In legalize: they have to be rated for it. If you tow 6650 lbs with a 4000lbs rated vehicle, you are in violation of state towing regulations. Also, that...

Absolutely NOT! Let's start with the obvious: you're not over by 100 lbs or something trivial. The lightest 18' tilt trailers weigh in at 2,400 lbs, and most are closer to 3,500. Assuming you have the lightest one, then combined with your mini excavator, you are pushing 6,650 POUNDS! Bro...

Depends on how long you plan on keeping it. 1 year? 2? 10? Parts aint cheap anymore. If you lose audio, that's a $1100 repair. Infotainment goes out? $4000. AC? $1500. Your transmission? $7500+. It can easily pay for itself, and given the build quality of modern Fords, I'd say the Grainger is...

An issue occurring repeatedly with no permanent fix is the most basic qualification for a lemon law buyback. There is no separate "NAV screen" on a maverick. Translated from Boomerese: his infotainment screen was going black. That means no HVAC controls. No Bluetooth controls, ece. That is far...

Except that nav screen going black also means your HVAC goes black, and that is a significant usability concern. Failed HVAC absolutely qualifies under lemon law.

Because back in the 60s, cars didnt last long. People got int he habit of changing cars out every 4-5 years because being stranded in the days before cell phones was no bueno. That pattern of behavior has been carried into the modern day. You still se people claiming that a car is getting close...

Always loved the GSW and it's a real shame we never got the mk 7.5 model with the 7 speed DSG or, even better, the GSW R with the 328 HP engine and AWD.

I'd take the tri fold, fewer joints = fewer places to leak. Although in my experience a full bed cap is easier to waterproof then any sort of bed cover.

Banks, Facebook, and Google dont sell information to my insurance and jack up my rates. Ford, OTOH......

Highly unlikely. Since it is jacked so high up, the ram driver is more likely to suffer serious injury or death in an accident. Guarantee he's rolling over at least once in a head on. Cars already have a tendency to act like ping pong balls in accidents but something tall like a lifted truck...

I'm glad they keep the colors coming, but IMO they need to keep them going forward instead of doing this 1 year thing. Not just for insurance costs, but it's one of only two trucks to offer a wide color palate, the other being the Ram 1500. It's a big selling point.

The bed would be much preferrable. Just thinking of loading that much weight into a low slung hatchback, and taking it back out, makes my lower back wince.

Bad dealers will do anything to avoid fixing problems. My buddy's Taurus has the extended warranty from Ford that covers everything and includes a loaner. His HVAC controller failed and required replacement. He had to fight the dealer and call corporate to get his loaner, then had to call them...

The maverick uses electric power steering, and on normal driving mode it is cranked way too high, so there is little to no feedback. Sport mode makes the steering heavier but makes the truck WAY too eager to gun it. One of the nice things about the VW is that steering setting can be altered. I...

Assuming that new competitors will never match what you currently sell is resting on your laurels Ford does not provide US only revenue figures in any of their financial reports, so I'm going to press "X" to doubt unless you can provide a source proving this. None of the other stuff you listed...

Very first post........ There are commercial options that can bold in with the spare tire. But they are just tanks, there is no transfer to the main tank https://trailtacoma.com/3rd-gen/traild-spare-gas-tank-review-install-on-3rd-gen-tacoma/

This is the correct answer. Open a case with Ford Corporate. Start putting the screws to the dealership. If it qualifies, follow through with a Lemon Law Buyback. Also find another dealer. This one sucks major balls and should be avoided at all costs.

It would be fine. It's the GEM platform, the same as the buick encore, which uses a 156hp turbo and doesnt have issues maintaining speed. And the Montana only weighs 2,888 lbs. So it would have a slightly worse HP/ton ratio then the hybrid maverick! Oh dont get me started on all the cool stuff...
