Figures... I got a steal of a deal a few years back on some high high tech teflon coated and reinforced tape, with super duper adhesive. I always planned to sheath/shield the bottom of the valance on any "worth it" vehicle with it, that I might go off pavement. The theory being that if it...

That did seem like the sensible way to go to me, I was gonna be careful, but when gradual attrition was making it start to look ugly, go and get a decent bedliner sprayed then and have a "whole new truck" day a few years down the road. However, I talked myself into springing for the Lariat, and...

Well that's exactly how the Jeep guys do it, spend $10,000 on upgrades and then go out to find somewhere they can get stuck now. .... and then be all delighted like "Woohoo, I broke it 200ft further up the trail than last year." :LOL:

It is surprising what "managing" the PHEV battery will do on the Escape PHEV will do though, but flipping it into EV later mode as soon as you get "settled" on a long leg. It uses the batt down to 80% however soon you turn it on though. Seems that just a few miles of city bashing each end, or...

Answering myself about the front slot.... Ford demo photos seem to show it used for trapping bike front wheels.

I might take a serious look in 2030 after all you beta testers have worked out the kinks. I would probably be tempted by 150+ range with a range extender motor. If it hasn't got one, then the 500+ battery better be cheap and the thing better have stellar miles per kWh... (Got a "have to rebuild...

Give 'em a break, Ford started making metric vehicles suddenly and without warning in the early 90s and they haven't quite had the full 40 years to catch up yet.

At the beginning of this year when wife needed an upgrade, I was doing the reverse, cross shopping the Mav, but she didn't want a truck :( but since we got zero percent and an otherwise solid deal on that Escape PHEV, which has been doing great, I was able to pull funds out of my ass for a...

People here were driving like that last Thursday when I was out, had to stand on the brakes 4 times when eejuts tried to turn into me. Wasn't speeding around either.... that's not even counting the dozen times I lifted off or changed lanes because I thought someone was gonna do something a bit...

Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has come up with a close to definitive list of socket sizes used on Maverick. I wanted to make up a bare minimum toolkit and I know what else I want or don't want. I can find roads a towtruck will refuse service to with 20 miles of home and there are a...

Everybody rise to your feet and PRAISE the LORD, our brother has been savED from the iniquitous clutches of the evil ways of Nissan. ... no seriously post 2010 Nissans are money pits... and what do you get for your money? a 50 50 shot that it will drive back to the dealer under it's own power...

Howdy fellas, In the past I have read about cedar staining or damaging paintwork from the oils in it. Likewise treated lumber has copper compounds which might have catalytic activity with hydrocarbons. So I was wondering if anyone had noticed anything weird with long term use of lumber bed...

Woohoo, I like green lights.

Unless the jerks used a different spline, so that's a double check item.

Thanks all for the ideas. Those hooks look useful. Pondering whether I actually want to get my ass round to buying a 3D printer and doing some like that myself..... orrr whether to find a plastic chunk or bar that I can run down with saws and router bits and then slice.... orrr whether to just...

Yeah that Woodland edition caught my eye, but probably easier to buy a Bentley with a Discover card.

If I am honest with myself, maybe I'm not realllllllllly cross shopping, but kidding myself that I'm doing "due diligence" :LOL:

In that case just glue one together out of ABS drain pipe, low weight, many saving, much mpg :LOL: ETA: sounds flimsy, but probably still strong enough to mount modern LED lights... unless you get ones that yeet ALL the lumens and need hefty heatsinks on.

I am looking at this one, because there seems to be a lot around locally for reasonable $ and the official Maverick one only seems designed to carry a motorcycle... "oh, you had a long thing that wasn't pointy, tough titty." Did you ever come up with an amazing solution or nah? I have been...

It's Costco oil, you can pour it back in the bottle and return it :LOL: I am not that guy, but I have heard numerous tales of Costco returns where I think they should have just told the fool to go screw hisself.
