  1. Ugliest of the Ugly… what’s yours?

    Sad, because the SHO was actually a good-looking car when it first came out. I owned a white one that got a lot of positive comments everywhere I drove it. Then something happened around 1992-93, and after that it was all downhill..
  2. Ford wants to allow your car to lock you out

    And I would predict that if they actually build a car like this, some attorney and his/her client will own Ford Motor Company shortly after the verdict comes back from the jury...
  3. New Guy. What are my odds?

    If they send the actual hockey players, we're screwed! :ROFLMAO: And if they wait to start the invasion 15 minutes into the Super Bowl, it will at least 4 hours before anyone in America even notices...
  4. Howdy. New Lariat Hybrid in San Jose, CA

    You will love it. Especially on longer trips. Lots of nice, intelligent choices were made. When engaged, and you come up behind someone going slower than your set speed, it automatically slows to maintain the following distance you've selected. (I generally leave it on the max distance - a...
  5. Howdy. New Lariat Hybrid in San Jose, CA

    Does it also have the Co-pilot 360 Assist? That's the package that adds the Adaptive Cruise Control and rear parking sensors. Sounds a lot like the deal I lucked into, other than the fact that mine was a '22 Lariat Hybrid First Edition in Area 51, and the call came just before we sat down to...
  6. What did you drive before the Maverick?

    Yeah... She keeps referring to is as "My Maverick" instead of "Your Maverick..." Last time that happened, she wound up driving "my" Impala, and I wound up driving "her" Prius-C. Gulp! :oops:
  7. Trailer Hitch Wiring/Detection

    I plan to get a set of "aux lights" to put on the heavy duty bike rack I use for our e-bikes that weight almost 75 lbs each... I will plug the light set into the 4-pin trailer harness because the bikes pretty much block the existing tail lights. So when I'm hauling the bikes, I'll just live...
  8. What did you drive before the Maverick?

    I know what you mean... I started off really liking it, and the more I drive it, I'm liking it even more! Let's just say the wife is starting to get a bit jealous... :ROFLMAO:
  9. Best accessories you've added to your Maverick?

    You're welcome. Let us know if you find it works better the other way around as well... I'm kind of wondering if it depends on the actual cables installed on a given truck, or if it's a "general" thing...
  10. New TSB for braking issue -- TSB 23-2059 (brakes grabbing removed)

    Mavericks built after 15 Dec 2022 (the date for TSB 22-2493) should have the TSB 22-2493 (original "fix") software incorporated during the build. Mavericks built after 22 Feb 2023 (the date on TSB 23-2060) should have the very latest "updated" software when they were built. That's how it's...
  11. Best accessories you've added to your Maverick?

    I initially mounted my DeeZee assist strut with the piston on the bottom. But the tailgate support cable tended to catch between the bed and dampener, which looked like it was not a good thing. Reversing it, so the piston was on top, seemed to prevent that... So I wound up with the piston on...
  12. FWD front wheel spin video in Park City.

    Thanks for the update. As for my odds of getting one... I suspect they are somewhat less than 50/50, even though I have one for me and one for my wife on order... I do already have a '22 Hybrid Lariat (someone else's order that they gave up on) in Area 51 that I purchased precisely to hedge...
  13. Ugliest of the Ugly… what’s yours?

    You know how they came up with the Datsun name, right? Seems company execs hired a German guy to do the PR work, since German cars had such great reputations. They told him they needed a good name for the brand within 24 hours. He replied "dat soon?" and the rest is history... PS - Datsun...
  14. Ugliest of the Ugly… what’s yours?

    Absolutely the ugliest car EVER - bar none! Made the Edsel look great by comparison... Made worse by the ubiquitous "chalk film" that bloomed in large splotches as the clear coat oxidized. For some reason, those B210s were absolutely plagued by that phenomenon where I lived (El Paso) in their...
  15. EV coach display vs. Fuel economy display. Which do you prefer?

    There is a "real time mpg" screen on the Lariat, but you may have to edit the preferences to display it. There's a limit to the number of screens you can have in your 'rotation' while driving, so it might mean giving up one of the other optional screens. I just toggle between the "This Trip"...
  16. FWD front wheel spin video in Park City.

    Doesn't seem like a AWD vs FWD "apples to apples" comparison. That Explorer driver had some things working against him (or her)... Looks like summer tires on there. The tires also look to have fairly worn tread. Lost inertia going up the hill (got very slow / stopped), whereas you were...
  17. Back seat pizza …

    LOL We have a steel "milk crate" that we use. Very "manly"... (Though It's actually my wife's crate. Shhh! Don't tell anyone!)
  18. Hybrid Owners: Have you had any issues that lead to warranty repairs?

    And yet it's still currently showing 80% with no issues requiring warranty action.
  19. Maverick Memes - fun diversion while we wait [ ** NO POLITICS ** ]

    Been there - done that - got the bloodshot eyes to prove it...
