Sweet! Color me jealous!

But..... I did order a '23 Hybrid... Just (sort of) thankful I still have my crappy '12 Prius C to drive while I wait to see if I win the Maverick lottery...

A neighbor down the street from me has a Ranger in Cyber Orange. I stop and stare at it every time we walk by, and it always looks great! Not remotely close to baby poop orange at all... LOL Nor does it look ANYTHING like the yellow school bus that parks around the corner from it every...

Insurance might cover the cost of replacing the Maverick, but not the year-long wait for the Maverickorder window to re-open, then another 8-12 months waiting for it to be built... They couldn't pay me enough to go through that twice! :rolleyes:

Yeah, but what do you do with the cover when you're out and about, and need to pick something up that needs the full bed space? For me, if I can't fold up that "final third" segment, this type of cover would be a no-go. When I had my full-size Chevy HD truck, we installed a Back-Flip rigid...

To add to the above cautions... I've got a good friend who bought a Nissan with their CVT. She's had it replaced 4 times (!) under the extended warranty period. The car has spent more time in the shop than on the road. I asked her why not "lemon law" the car, but she has lived in three...

Order Guide for the Lariat shows "body color" door handles on the standard, but it specifically states that the BAP includes black door handles. Pictures of the BAP also show black door handles. I'm fine with that, since the black looks great with my Cyber Orange exterior!

Ah, good old 'American Exceptionism' rears its head... I once did an exercise with the 11 pilots in my Army aviation aeroscout platoon. I sat everyone in a circle, and handed them a piece of paper and a pencil, and asked them to rank-order the pilots in the room from "best pilot" to "worst...

OK - I guess I missed that point in his argument. But frankly, it was the snarky "Or even a Mav for that matter?" bit that I was reacting to... Clearly there ARE Mavericks that have the two-piece design. And since approximately 85% (if you believe Ford's build statistics) would be XLs and/or...

Just as easy to have someone follow you in their car, get into some stop-and-go traffic, and observe the brake lights. Don't have my Maverick yet, or I would already know the answer...

I ordered exactly what I would have ordered if it was "free" and if there were no constraints. Either I get it the way I want, or I don't. As Yoda would say "Do, or do not. There is no try."

I had weird pulsing sensation when driving our Chevy Silverado 1500 a few years ago. I took it to my trusted mechanic to do the repair. He diagnosed it as failure of the main computer module that controls the anti-lock brakes, and told me I needed to pick it up and take it "immediately" to the...

I attending a very large IT conference, and during a Q&A session, I stood to ask a question. We were told that when the microphone got to us, we were to introduce ourselves and describe our company before asking the question - presumably to give the responders some context for the question...

Hmmm. It would appear that the video that started this thread absolutely PROVES that it's not all one piece. The physically removes the grill bar right before your eyes, paints it, and re-installs it.

Yeah, but they were buying PT Cruisers, so they knew nothing about "taste." LOL

For years, my parents drove 5-7 year old generic sedans and station wagons, purchased with 60-75K miles, and sold when they hit around 100K miles. They professed to not caring about what type of car they drove, as long as it was reliable and cheap. At that age, the cars had already suffered...

Not to mention that MOST trailer tires (LT) are only rated for 65 mph continuous speeds. Google "china bombs" for all the horror stories from people who buy those low-speed tires, then run them all day at 75+ mph, only to have blow-out after blow-out, then blame the poor quality of the tires...

:LOL::ROFLMAO: That's me, laughing at the very thought of any point along I-75 being described as "smooth." OK - I realize you are talking about the truck, not the road, but my first reaction was "How the heck could you tell if the truck was 'smooth' if you're driving on I-75 (or I-40, for...

Good for you. I just did a quick search for what's available within 500 miles of my hometown... One 22 Lariat EcoBoost with Lux & CP360, and with 9K miles on the odometer... A "bargain" at only $51,998. Yeah.... No... I'll keep waiting for a while.

Yeah, I was wondering about that myself... So I Googled to see how steep a 20-25 degree incline would be, and the reference I found showed it to be between 36.4% - 46.6%... I then Googled to find the "steepest grade road in US" and found that 37% (Waipio Rd in Honokaa, HI) is the steepest...
