Looks like your dealer did you a solid... Far too many of them left off the CP360 Assist Package without discussing it with the buyer. Now those folks don't get the Adaptive Cruise Control or the Parking Sensors they thought they were getting... And it's WAY expensive and complex to add them...

That $31K the "asking" price, not necessarily the "selling" price...

Is it just me, or does this look more like a "truckified" Chevy Camaro (with a different grill) than any RAM product?

Yeah - it's a common misconception that fuses are sized to protect the electronics, which is not the case... Fuses are sized according to the wire size and are intended to protect the wiring from overheating and causing fire. That's it. The electronics have their own means of dealing with...

When I put my bike in the back, I generally use the handlebars rather than the frame as the front anchor point. Bike has a really nice pair job, and I'd like to keep it that way... On the rear, I loop over/around the powder-coated rack, again to avoid paint damage. I put just enough tension...

I suspect those "cab air spoilers" are strictly for looks. I doubt any of the designers put theirs on a Maverick, then took it to a wind tunnel for testing - much less doing the same thing with a trailer attached... I can't remember where I saw it, but I vaguely remember reading an article (or...

Wow. I've NEVER felt a shudder like that in my hybrid. Gotta be something - probably the dampener. I hope you have success getting the dealer to address it!

Yeah, Honda throws the "sport" label at a lot of things that only have "stripes and chrome" differences. The one that really makes me laugh is the Ridgeline HPD (Honda Performance Division) that basically consists of some bronze painted wheels, unpainted black plastic fender flares, a "more...

Cool. Keep us posted! And let us know which "gauges" are your favorites...

Yeah, but note that i said it is not sustainable, and the conditions were pretty much optimal for that short drive. But it IS fun to see one like that every once in a while when there's no traffic and conditions are right. For the most part, I'm finding I can get 45-50 mpg (per the onboard...

Yep - learning patience is the main benefit I've received from my Mav order thus far... Ask me six months from how that's going... :cautious:

I don't think that running boards are needed. Remember, this truck is based on an SUV chassis, and the seats are just about "butt height." So it's really no big deal getting in/out of the truck. My wife really loves the Maverick, and absolutely hated getting in or out of our previous Chevy...

Try it in "Slippery" mode, for even better results. MavGPS turned me on to this in his posts on getting the best mileage from your Maverick. I'm getting 2-3 mpg better in Slippery than I did in Eco. Apparently, Slippery mode allows you to coast a lot more, and slows throttle response (to...

My "short list" of differences: Smaller than the "mid-sized" trucks (which are now as big as "full-size" trucks were 10 years ago). Fits in my very small garage. Don't need a step or running boards to climb in. Can reach items in the truck bed without climbing in. Tailgate is a convenient...

And technically, it's the dealer who placed the order with Ford. They did so at "our" request, but it's is, was, and forever will be technically the "dealer's order" and not ours... This has been discussed many times over elsewhere on the forum. As much as we all can't stand it, and as much...

Yeah, I posted this elsewhere, and it is certainly NOT "typical" mileage for my hybrid, but it was fun, and represents my" personal best" thus far... This was coming home from my daughter's house - the last stop in a series of short runs to Lowes, CostCo, WalMart, then to my daughter's house...

Just a note that after that section in the manual that shows how to reset the BMS, there is the following paragraph: After battery replacement, or in some cases after charging the battery with an external charger, the battery management system requires eight hours of vehicle sleep time to...

My mods thus far, favorites at the top: Wireless CarPlay Adapter Dongle (TNVTEC) - no more wires, just drop the phone on the charging pad (Lariat Lux) and go. So nice! SmartLiner floor mats - really nice fit and quality feel. DeeZee tailgate damper - reduces risk of "bonked" heads for my...

The other day I made several short trips around town, then came home. For the first 2-3 stops, I was getting low 50's for mpg. Then came my final leg home from my daughter's house: That's my best (by far) mileage - though it's certainly not sustainable for longer distances. I'm pretty sure...

Yeah, back in '96 I could make that Woodlands to Plano drive non-stop. These days, I'm hoping to only have to stop once... :rolleyes:
