Nice deals, think it was $29k after exchange before tax on ours in spring but that included the 2k prep and delivery, then we added the front end paint protection, floor liners and cargo cover. Took the 0% finance deal that was on at the time. Anyways, it has been running great, middle of...

Short trailers that are equipment usually have the problem that the center of gravity is high such that with their shortness also, having them hitched too high means they no longer have 10%+ on the hitch. Be better off flipping the hitch if possible, or mounting toolbox or sandbagging the draw...

Thanks for the correction, I couldn't find that to check and brain had it down as "most of the tow hitch companies."

That "is" might be a bit in doubt, aren't they one of the brands in that conglomerate that is teetering on the verge of dying?

Mine picked first and got the Escape :LOL: She has driven my Maverick says it's okay and will drive it as required but prefers the Escape. IDK if she is trying to lull me into a false sense of security though, she likes the color better on mine.

You need two double hitch adapters to stack so you can get your bed extender installed vertical and your bike rack behind it, then either a 18" extender or cargo basket with passthrough to reach past all that crap, then something with a 1 7/8 ball because now you can only tow something small...

F150 lite.

When did fleet sales start? We're on a timer, 36 months from then, increased used Maverick availability = used values drop.

I thought you'd left it parked by the railway stockyards at first.

Rodent chewed intake or vacuum line???

I am actually finding myself pleasantly surprised the more I am in mine. I don't know it it's because it's a Lariat, or because it was a special order that I got to buy because it fell through or what. But I am finding it a little above the build quality of our Escape PHEV. Escape PHEV is like...

Back in the "bad old days" when rubber parts lasted 3-5 years, I started hosing my CV boots with silicone spray lube a couple of times a year, which as it was late 90s into noughts, wasn't sure if it kept them going or rubber was improving. So there were some older vehicles that never needed new...

If I take an extremely rational look at potential hobby vehicles since getting my Maverick, there's nothing worth less than dozens of thousands that would be better handling and faster in stock form on the street, there's nothing that would be worth it for tootling around and getting better...

Easy antenna delete, drive under a 69.5" high concrete beam at 40mph.

In this specific situation of the towed load and total load on Maverick being inside a non-tow Maverick's payload, plus the assurance it will go no faster than 65mph, keeping aero load from being extreme, I would say it will be fine in any drive mode. However, go a bit over what a "normal"...

Right, that was why it was so easy to put together with Mondeo panels cheaply available in UK.

Don't see many AMCs around any more. I am still kicking myself about an AMC Eagle Wagon that was a "one that got away" about 3 years ago. Nice shape with only 50,000 on it, and asking was only $2k ... but I had a driveway full of former DDs plus relatives cars, and before I made a hole it was gone.

Interesting, kind of an inverse Cobra, "british" drivetrain in murrican body. :LOL: Though I have been developing an interest in Jaguar drivetrains for older Fords for some reason, probably prompted by the sudden profusion of "rollers" with no drivetrain in local markets that are 60s and 70s...

I have a set of those, my Mav will be trying them on at some point. I preserved them because they look "scary" big fuckoff mirrors means big fuckoff load, cut out too close in front and you'll get flattened.... that's my theory anyway.

Most Ford 4 cyls were great up until the belt in oil BS. Except possibly the HSC, damn things wouldn't just die so you could replace it with a V6 that had get out of it's own way power with barely a ding to gas mileage :LOL:
