OR it's Ford pulling a ton of inefficiency out of a legacy assembly line process and they get as close as they can to their targets. Battery technology matters little if range and price targets are met.

It's 4000 feet of wire and don't doubt that for a second. You think Ford made that up just for their announcement so you could second guess them on a forum? Rivian did the same thing X2(8448 feet) G1 to G2 on their R1 producttion. Rivian reduced the wiring harness length in their Gen 2...

Welcome to the new post pandemic tariff world of automobile new and used market. No significant deals to be had and decent deals dry up quickly as supply just isn't there for it to be a buyers market for entry level vehicles. Grab what you can or order if your serious a prices are only going up.

Spent summers working in Cape May restaurants for 1/2 a decade, 5 miles south and remember the tram well. All the positive memories with the only big negative, the green flies in Stone Harbor on the water....crazy evil.

7 pages and both can be true. A compact/conventional/temporary spare (<> other three wheels) can be used OR a spare tire (same as other 3 good tires) can be used. The difference is how long or how many miles can they be driven. The spare would be the same as the rest of the tires, while the...

I paid of the overwhelming majority and took out a small loan to be paid off in 1year and a day. Purely a credit score play, been doing it my entire life.

At this point in my life or a bit more than a decade ago I changed my view on driving. A number of people I knew had fiends, family or acquaintances die in what I considered somewhat minor traffic accidents. I always asked what they were driving and they were all mid to small older vehicles...

Completely understand. First American branded vehicle I've bought ever (Rivian was 2nd) for my Daughter to go to college with (Sophomore year). We've been lucky but you're 100% right. If she had problems that look and feel like yours (time at dealer frustration), I'll grab it on a Saturday...

Chose between a forester/crosstrek/impressa and maverick choosing primarily based on price for new driver in the house. Subarus are top picks in almost all categories and do above average in alot of categories and excellent in AWD as you'd expect. I've seen a Crosstrek traverse a section of...

Like old school 60s-70s removing engine and transmission minus fluids and driveshaft plus 400-800V potential death.

You put PPF on an EV pickup truck? Doesn't Ford have the EV truck shields (forgot the trade name) that Rivian developed for the R1T? I thought they were licensing it essentially to get the tech out there to repel dirt and contaminants using an electromagnetic field. Cool tech, I have a Dec23...

Read the manual.

No, can't believe this thread is three pages long. The engine has no idea what kind of oil it is. As long as it's close and you change it back to spec at next change no harm no foul. Can we lock this thread now?

500K will take 20 years @ 25k per year and while the engine may or not last the rest of the Maverick would be long gone in that time period. It wasn't designed for this service life like a Land Cruiser and the safety features would be obsolete and WAY behind after 5-10 years. Pragmatically as...

Read your manual or do what you're comfortable.

These days I put in the gas nozzle and go into QT for a $.50-$.79 ice cream cone. Come out remove nozzle and leave without another thought. I haven't sat with my car for 15-20 years while it filled up, always did something else while it was happening. Waiting around to put another splash of...

Import laws on small trucks disqualify this from coming into the US, UNLESS it's made by a company with a US factory (something like this). That's how Volvo is bringing in their smaller 40 electric SUV later this year or next year. Feels like an EV maverick simply with some super efficient EU...

Yes, Costco is top tier, so is QT, 99% of my gas comes from these two. QT rollerdogs are legit.

In my opinion, it depends on what type of gas you're putting in your vehicle. Top Tier gas already has a higher level of techron (main detergent in gasoline additive packages), so if you're using that additional techron may not be as useful (I use once a year myself). If you're not using top...
