I leased my Renegade in 2017 and ended up buying it at lease end since it only had 8K miles on it. It is "hyper green" which was a 2 year only color. I did have an 8 year service contract on it which expired earlier this year. I have 4 Goodyear winter tires on it and it is also a beast in the...
Great move. I thought about selling my steelies but since they are in boxes in my sheds loft and not in the way, i decided to keep them. My plan is to keep my truck at least 10 years (bought a 10 year 60K mile contract from Granger) so i may end up needing them if i decide to get rid of my 2017...
No way. Although i own a FWD hybrid Mav, it was the hybrid economy that got me. Without that economy i would go for the most powerful option available, since i am still a bit of a gearhead and love acceleration. If AWD would have been available in 2024 with hybrid, i would have gotten it.
I have always used this analogy. If you were going to shovel snow off of your driveway, would you put boots on or flip flops? Well, boots are winter tires and flip flops are all(no) season tires. I have a FWD hybrid Mav, but i do not drive it when it snows. I have a Jeep Renegade AWD with 4...
If you are unlucky enough to need a body shop around here starting about mid november through mid march you will have a long wait for repairs. PA is in the top 5 states for deer hits, especially western PA. W.VA just to our south is actually number 1. I had been lucky for a lot of years but the...
True. Love venison. Especially with the price of beef it's a great alternative. Just wish PA had a longer deer hunting season. There really are too many deer in this state which is why we are #1 or #2 in car deer collisions.
Deer are just overgrown rats! Here in W PA deer hits are constant. PA needs to extend the deer hunting season as the population is getting out of hand. AT least when a hunter takes one, people get fed. If a car hits one, no one gets fed.
I bought my 24 Maverick as a retirement gift to myself. I just turned 69 this month. I have had trucks in the past. Had a 96 F150 with a 300 and a 5 speed i bought when i was 52. It had some rust but low miles and ran great. Was a real gas guzzler though. I leased a RAM 1500 hemi when i was 58...
That's some funny stuff i LOL'd when i read it. But honestly the smart is a pretty good little car, especially since it is engineered and built by Mercedes Benz. Never had any problems with the ones we owned, and they got 50+ MPG. Also, you can fit 2 half kegs of beer in the cargo area. (ask me...
My wife drove the Mav once, shortly after i got it. It replaced the Toyota hybrid i had been driving for the previous 7 years and was always intended to be "my" truck. While she can drive it anytime she would like, she chooses not to. She likes tiny cars and to her, the Mav is pretty big. She...
Good advice. Thankfully the potholes out here in the country are not bad compared to closer to Pittsburgh. Plus the stock tires have a good bit of sidewall to help absorb pothole impacts. If i were to drive my Maverick a lot in the winter i would have put winter tires on my stock steel wheels...
The wheels were $550 for a set of 4 shipped. I spent another $50 for the lugnuts and $100 for mounting and balancing. These are the wheels i got https://www.ebay.com/itm/156081895215
To each their own. I paid $25.2K for my 2024 hybrid XL. Other than heated seats, it has everything i need and then some. copilot 360, bed liner and tow hitch. i put a nice set of Vision wheels on it and love the way it looks.
Ford really manages to piss me off with this crap! I ordered my 2023 XL in Area 51. It didn't get picked up to build for 2023 so slid to 2024 and guess what? No more area 51. Jagoffs!!! Eruption green was the best color in 2025 IMO. so now it's gone. Not everyone wants white or silver fer crying...
I once had a Toyota dealer try this kind of crap when i had my Scion xB. My wife (who knows a thing or two about cars) took the Scion to the dealer for an oil change and an E brake adjustment (it was catching high). It had such low miles thats really all it needed. The service advisor (a woman)...
I have those "old man edition" on my mav also. One on each side of the front fenders. I will post picts when i get a chance. Wife bought them off of Temu and put them on my truck.
