Perhaps, but that role has been / is likely to be replaced with a robot. While robots tend to be grammatically correct, their content is likely to be a different story.

Especially when you compare good fuel to a tank of sand and water with a little gasoline thrown in. That's happened to me, but never at a top tier station.

That is true, but then so is what I said. ".... the Lariat is a Ford Maverick trim", which seems appropriately focused on a Ford Maverick forum.. :wink:

2025 XL Hybrid AWD 4K - Max load = 1388, a bit less than @icegradner 's FWD but my model has added some equipment weight and therefore reduced capacity. Still, either would have been fine for the OP's load. Apparently the Lobo is the lightweight in the weight capacity class. Again, the light...

It appears you were okay on weight, but it looks like the load's center of mass was just a bit aft of the rear axle, thus your light front end.

They look like twins, almost identical cousins like Patty Duke's Patty and Cathy..

So sunroof eliminates the sunglasses holder? If so, that's another benefit of the decal vs actual sunroof approach... Looks like a sunroof, but you have a place to store the glasses..

Would that be a roof decal or a ceiling decal? With both, you'd have the full effect of a closed panel sunroof...

The moonroof is a dead giveaway, if all of the other interior differences don't clue her in. Of course you could "accidently" mistake her truck for yours occasionally... Maybe she'll prefer the cloth seats and then you won't risk living in a tent... :wink:

I'm thinking any cowboy would regret roping any Ford trim level with a rope...

A Laramie is a city in Wyoming and a Lariat is a rope used by cowboys to temporarily catch various quadrupeds. A Laramie is also a trim level of some Ram pickups, where the Lariat is a Ford Maverick trim. Interesting that both are pick up trucks, capable of carrying re.. anything you want up to...

That's okay, but from now on I'm adding up mentions of the aforementioned kitchen devices by other posters which are likely to exceed my modest contributions relevant to the astounding abilities of the Maverick bed. :wink:

I would run a more controlled test comparing the two, but considering I don't want additional ethanol in my fuel I'm not going to do that. Maybe someone else can report back after filling up with more crappy corn squeezins in their tank. :wink:

@A112358 I would think so - and what name brand station will take a load of gas that isn't their spec, just because they have some room in the tank...

While that could happen, it doesn't mean that it does, just that it can. How often, who knows.

Again, I'd suggest a look at TrueCar - At least you'll have something to compare to. If you do decide to buy, I hope you like it as much as I like mine, which is a lot!

As far as a good deal or not, you can get a pretty good idea on a site like TrueCar. They use the year, model and location information to show what people are actually paying. The discount you provided isn't too bad, but they made up for it up in fees. The dealer fee isn't one I paid for, and...

@710 - Your user name is upside down oil ! :wink: Your post reminds me that the problem with reliance on convenience features and safety systems often means a problem when they fail, or in your case, when you or your driver thought you had a feature but didn't. It's better to pretend the...

@Bandwagon - Well said. I'd add to your ethanol comment that at least in my area, "cheap" gas in the places I get fuel, seem to be those with 15% ethanol, and the name brand gas has 10%, so it isn't possible to get an apples to apples mpg comparison. Again, as you stated, ethanol has a...

@Lone Ridr - Thanks for that. In my area it's only Shell that's TT..
