And none to the greedy flippers trying to accomplish the same thing for the past couple years.

Used bathrooms @ Flying J for the family and snacks just like any other roadtrip. At Walmart I bought everything our daughter at UTK needed for supplies, while it charged. At Volkswagen we did a couple of the top word games for the day and ate a packed lunch.

Wow, night and day, but I have both a Maverick and a Rivian R1T. Just took a road trip ATL-Knoxville and from an EV standpoint nothing really different than an ICE vehicle, except where you fill up. I hit Flying J's truck stop on the way up, with covered charging, 20 minutes = 150 miles...

Essentially first pickup truck, XLT w/Luxury Package. Opened it and it slipped out of my hand banging into my thigh. I thought to myself, well that's stupid it comes down uncontrolled and got the device the next day. FWIW I've had controlled piston hoods and tailgates on every SUV (Lexus) I've...

25 combined with my EB 2.0 after 700 miles. Really only city as haven't hit the highway yet. Pretty happy with that, highway should see what others indicated 30+

1970 Buick LeSabre 455 V8 on bias ply tires with the air cleaner cover flipped over. Would generate a mini black hole in the engine compartment at wide open throttle and spin 1 tire at any speed when flooring it. The length of a legal parking space with slippery bench seats and lap belts...

Complete nonsense, color alone says nothing about the condition of transmission fluid any more than any other fluid. As soon as it's added to the transmission the color changes as it's mixed with everything in the transmission used in the assembly process. I'm not understanding, what does...

Personally not going to panic as I don't have AWD and checked the oil before I left the dealership. As for the Transmission fluid, color doesn't mean anything as I'm sure they use some sort of Moly assembly lube that turns the fluid dark as soon as it's operated. Same with engines and...

Absolutely in a heartbeat I would replace my ICE Maverick I just picked up in December with an EV Maverick. We've had an EV in the family for 4 years, so see the value, ease and first hand how it upends how one thinks about a vehicle. Lexus plug in TX announcement may bring us to a 3 EV family...

I traded my OEM's for Falken Wildpeak AT Trails a few days after pickup. Went from a solid 6-7 tire to a 9 in both dry and wet.

Been checking oil on all my vehicles and family vehicles for decades. Can't count the number of times a simple walk around and oil check during a fill-up found a small issue that if left unchecked would become a large issue. Some were simple, fixed by me at the station with a few needing the...

Oil changes while simple to execute are simple to screw up, so go with who you're comfortable with who does a good job. My dealer seems to be well thought of and has great wifi, coffee, snacks, and ice cream. Comfortably waiting there beats uncomfortably waiting at my local guy I use for...

LT Tires can be 20-30lbs more per tire and will affect milage and handling.

It's my first ford product ever, bought for the price point. I expect that level of dependability and service, not that of a vehicle 3-5 times the cost. If money was no object, I would have purchased a Lexus/Toyota, but alas money doesn't grow on trees. As it's my daughters vehicle, I'll be...

A good portion of these vehicles were being flipped anyway for 5-10K to Carvana, Vroom, or Car Max. Now that supply has increased flipping isn't a viable option as you still have to purchase the vehicle and pay taxes in some states. There are almost 100 mavericks on both Carvana and Car Max...

Exactly why I shop local for any liquid in ay type of container. I use a local shop, costco, walmart, napa, autozone, wherever for my autos and motorcycle. I did order spray way glass cleaner from Amazon, total risk, but they encase everything in so much bubblewrap the only exception to my...

@Barracuda340 Can you post part #, I am going to grab the lincoln or other one and have been searching for numbers.

I saw the rotors and pads when Discount Tire changed my tires (another thread) and looks like a 15-30 minute brake job for sure. Everything is out in the open and even if you did one corner at a time it might take an hour with some prep and organization. I'm not sure how much more aggressive a...

I drove mine 50 miles home from the dealer and realized in the first 5 minutes the tires were overinflated. I stopped and reset them to 37 (35 +2) and ride improvement was significant. Not saying this was your issue, but vehicle setup is an art not a science as some thing the max pressure is...

This summary from TireRack got me to move quick and discount tire gave me $132 credit for old tires on Wildpeaks. Had a 80 mile EV that really wasn't going to work for my youngest driving to soccer games across the state. Dealer recommended Caravan and they bought it for way more $ than I...
