First, it's smoother and silent - that's a bit different. Second, how many manual cars do YOU see on the road these days? People are no longer used to them, or that behavior. How many are starting to figure out that electrics/hybrids slow rapidly without brake lights? Not enough - it only takes...

I think this may be a bigger factor than people realize. When your foot's off gas but not on the brake, your brake lights aren't on, but you can still be slowing very rapidly in a hybrid. This is common among most hybrids and electric vehicles, to the extent that some have added inertial...

I was in a Bradley for a year or two - driver and then gunner, thankfully, not riding in the back. But I still can't get past thinking of tanks as something to shoot at rather than ride in. Given your issues with the decal on the hood, personally, I'd redo the hood to cover the paint issue and...

I've seen plenty of things on this site I've thought were tacky or ugly - generally I just don't post on those, or MAYBE say "not for me, but I hope you like it." Who knows, maybe I put that on one of your posts. I chose a "F50 LIGHT DUTY" sticker on each side behind the rear wheels, where his...

From what I can tell and what I can guess, it looks like the height and width are reported in pixels, along with the DPI (dots/pixels per inch). Combine those and Android Auto itself must be deriving the screen size in inches. Have the AAWireless dongle lie and decrease the DPI, and the...

I tried it, but things get so tiny on the screen at that setting, I was afraid I'd be squinting at it while I was driving. Setting it to 150 DPI gets you the reporting icon, while still looking mostly like the passthrough setting. I prefer that, personally, even if it means I don't get the...

You have any photos of how well they fit? Probably too tall to stack a pair under a tonneau cover, but I'm intrigued. Might have to pull out my tape measure and see how they'd use the space. I used to have something like them for a chest freezer. Collapsible milk crates are a great idea, if...

That's not necessarily the fault of the free market. I'm pretty sure vans are treated differently than trucks for fuel efficiency regulations, which means they have different tradeoffs than trucks. That's a pressure on the market that affects what can be offered for sale. It's not just vans -...

I've used a wireless AA adapter I bought before my Maverick was delivered, and I haven't had issues like that at all. I can't be sure it will solve your problems, but it sure makes AA convenient. I've used only Samsung phones with it (Galaxy 21+ and Galaxy 24+)...

I'm pretty sure I have every single one of the features you listed on my XLT, so that wasn't true for the 2023 model year - not sure about now. Sure, I had to get add-on packages to get them on my XLT and paid more than the base model, but I have them. The BLISS in particular I've appreciated...

This, but only when I'm at or below half a tank - unless I know I have a trip coming up.

Love the flag look, too bad it didn't work out. I did the chrome lettering on mine - I think it really looks great with the metallic blue paint - but the white looks really good, too. Would have matched the flag particularly well. Oh well. I'm not one for the fake scoops or spoilers, so I'm...

Think Ford paid for product placement?

So your aftermarket hardware is causing you trouble and you're mad at your dealer for not removing a recall to fix it? During the process they change your default setting and you don't notice and it's their fault? It sounds like you're expecting more than is reasonable. You're assuming Ford...

OP asked about HARD rollup, not SOFT rollup. "It's NOT that common, it DOESN'T happen to every guy, and it IS a big deal!" —RACHEL (JENNIFER ANISTON) ON FRIENDS

Can't compare, as I only have the Truxedo Sentry (Truxedo makes two, I believe, for the Maverick - I think the Sentry is the older one). So far, so good - installed it the week I got the truck (see signature) so I haven't had it through all seasons yet, but it does a solid job keeping the bed...

Hauled a full, not a queen, last week. Short trip, but no issues. EDIT TO ADD: I took my hard tonneau off. If you're thinking of putting a mattress on top of the cover, don't do it. The cover blocks all the tie-down points for straps, so you're going to lose that mattress. Bad idea, unless...

Press that Exit button in the top-left (may be in a different location if you use the Android Auto app on your phone to rearrange the order of apps - personally, I put it near the bottom, and hide the GameSnacks app) to leave Android Auto on the display and be back at the default for the...

Look at one of the videos about CAFE standards, and you'll understand why this is the case. The larger the truck is, the lower the gas mileage it has to meet in order to avoid fines under CAFE. The regulations basically made it too expensive to build truly smaller trucks like we used to have...

I upgraded to the XLT in part for the power driver's seat - I wanted the electric adjustable seat. Like someone else said, I do wish they had a memory setting - it drives me crazy they don't offer that, it seems it ought to be a simple and cheap addition to make. I'm 5'9", about 250 (give or...
