No fighting on cars for us. It is one of the items we dont share. She wanted a green Outback with tan leather. Presto it is in driveway
Truck is all mine. She will direct me on which colors not to chose. IE alto blue, black or silver. Ok with me. Red it is!!!!
I dont go above a $300/month car payment on a 5 year loan for a car
Once the repair bill/time in shop/convenience is greater than $300/month will look for another auto
Our Hondas and Subarus have made it 12-14 years of our ownership but they both had 3 years already on them
Im hoping a Ford...
Both bestop and Softtoppers roll up. With the softtopper you can add a rack for those that have canoes, kayaks or roof top tents. It will be interesting to see what they offer for the Maverick. I loved mine when I had my GMC truck. Softtoppers is planning on making one for the Maverick...
Thanks. Ill move it to last on my list and head up through the forest rds of TN and Ky (Daniel Boone Forest and Red River Gorge) to Ohio and camp along the way!
1. Decide on which method is the best to make steelies black.
2. Look to see if any protection is needed underneath.
2. Build DIY truckbed drawer system
3. Look at which companies step up for aftermarket bed rail system. Then Purchase.
4. Take measurements to determine type of roof top tent will...
Thanks. Youre right as soon as I posted it I remembered ecoboost is a turbo which is an extra system
Before we gave my daughter our Forrester we used it to adventure and it has the cvt transmission since it is a 2015 when Subaru changed it. The cvt worked surprisingly well on the trail. I miss...
My fly fishing buddy has these on his upgraded adventurer cross trek. They are a very good tire. We have no issues getting into the back parts of the forest to fly fish in all trail conditions. We have a lot of red clay and it is like ice when dry and wet cement in rainy conditions but the...
Look up Subaru crosstrek, forrester, outback videos and that is the overlanding the Maverick should be able to do. Remember the Subaru AWD is a better AWD system and capable of a little bit more.
Personally, I wouldn't take a FWD/Hybrid Maverick overlanding. I use my engine to brake at...
I get it. Been there, done that and have the tshirt. I am on the other side as an empty nester this year. First time able to buy a truck I want and look for a house without worrying about the school district.
A little advice from experience, make sure you have the backseat treated with some...
The manual peep hole is a waste. Then add the fact it is a 4 door truck makes it even more.
If it was a standard cab or extended cab maybe the peep hole makes sense
Yes they positioned themselves well to take advantage of opportunities that are/were out there, not Tesla fault. That is why they are a interesting to watch Lets not get into heavily subsidized companies. The US car market wouldnt exist today if they werent subsidized by us just a few years ago...
I am not a Tesla driver nor will ever be but the company is very interesting to follow. Tesla isn't just a car company. Their valuation is primarly built on their other technologies and future partnerships. It is gearing up to sell its industry leading battery technology to other companies...
Saw this on the trail yesterday. A way to get some extra length and possibly height out of the bed for you all that truck camp and will put a cab on the back. The group had the version where the cab extends up but they make one where the lift is deleted. It allows you to use the tailgate...
I was that way on my first gen. Manual everything, 4cyclinder regular cab 4x4 with bed cap. 310,000 miles before I sold it to an employee who really needed some wheels. He kept it for another 110,000 before selling it in Mexico to get a plane ticket home.
With Tacoma's cult following and...
A lot of these post are missing the key word. "Exposed frontal area" A true teardrop is going to have almost zero exposed frontal area. Since it will ride lower than the roof line and only a fraction of it will be above the tailgate line. Most of the exposed parts of a teardrop with be the...
Sure. A hybrid is great if the great majority (80%) of your driving is stop and go. The hybrid gas mileage difference decreases quickly the less city driving you do. The hybrid is dormant. Where I live and how I use my car the gas mileage is equal to a hybrid. My neighbor has a prius which...
My understanding is that the battery is there if you purchase a hybrid. No hybrid for me. I had hybrids for 10 years as a company car and that was enough for me.
Good point. Im planning to put a plywood backing on the box with an access panel to where the inverter would be when I need to use it from looking at the pictures. I will purchase an XL ecoboost so there shouldn't be a lot behind the back seat. Since I will be using 12v DC power no need for...
