Oh cool, the full Xzibit deal on the hitch, we heard you like foldups so we put a foldup on your foldup. Great on scoring the 26, for some reason i thought they were out of production in the 10s, so it didn't dawn on me it was a new one.

Hmm, might have to get the console hackers or foone or someone interested. There are sometimes ways to glitch things and make them give up keys.

Was that the nearest one, or did you want the black trimmed one to match the Maverick? I have liked the idea of these for ages, and the Hi-Lo and that weird french one I can never remember the name of, begins with M I think. Then I get seduced by A-Liner Expeditions and Apaches and go off...

You can't let Ford learn that, they'll slap a Lincoln badge on them and charge 10k more.

I would think it would come out more dodgy than chebby, like the... https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a40527380/dodge-dakota-convertible-archive/ However, it's probably a no-go unless it's a T top, due to some lame engineering BS, like being able to open the doors more than once.

There was some other rumour about a van for a transit connect replacement, and a wagon variant of that with 7 seats, but it would have a higher roof.

In Ontario, there seems to be as many white XLs with 4k towing as black Lariats.... and that's the annoying thing, at one end it's any color you like as long as it's white, at the other; as long as it's black.

Hmmm a future thing for me yet... depends.... might play to it's color, "I'm blue", "Lady in Red", "Fade to Grey", but could be after Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" .... in general 80s synthpop is gonna be involved on a regular basis... might pop back to the 70s for some Creedence.

The irony might be, that it might be imperfections in power delivery, some pulsation etc, from regular alternators that keep regular lead acid from sulphating up, whereas on the hybrid the power is just "too smooth".

That generically applies to every screen. How then is 2025 worse than prior? There are still some physical buttons, the "software" buttons stay in the same place and muscle memory can develop. Many features can be operated by voice. How does the harder to read, smaller screen win here? Make a...

Don't buy a Versa, the super low TCO estimates from "the experts" are a lie, mine cost me as much over 1st 5 years as an XL mav plus maintenance package. Plus it's "done" now, it's a trade in 3 years no exceptions car if you really really can't get credit on higher initial cost.

The top brand high mileage tires I have had, just seemed to eke out the advertised figure, but were kind of "no surprises, because the grip is equally bad in all conditions" ... I tended to start hating them before they were 1/4 through, also kinda suspected they put a soft compound on the first...

I think this does not take into account the better design of Ford's interface than 90% of other touchscreen cars I have seen. The row of easy access buttons along the bottom eliminates a lot of hunt and peck. It is also mounted high enough in Maverick and my Escape that you can still catch...

No I didn't even count those, know those are kerb damage or sometimes a sharp going up the sidewall, I'm talking bulges in the tread area, on unrepaired tires.

The only cheap tires I avoid are the ones that look really badly moulded, seem to have been made out of recycled bump stops and hope, and have extremely strange brands that are specific to that tire only like saylor mun or something. They're the ones that are 2/3 the price of other cheap tires...

Damn, now I'm suspicious, it has been "awarded" cars that have been giving me the most grief this century.

I just remembered that there was a brand of popup tent trailers called Maverick, which I don't know if they survived past the mid 70s. Finding info on them was hard 10 years ago, now seems impossible with recent dumbing down of Google and the result competition with our favorite truck. Anyway...

Wow, that earns at least 15/16ths of a yike, what platform they basing it on, Sequoia ???

True they've got Corolla Cross, Rav4, Venza and Crown Royal pretty much competing for the same customers. That's not to mention the Lexus side versions of the same.

Good warning, feels like about 15 years since I last replaced a bulb... used to be it was a practically yearly thing that one bulb or another went out and needed replacing. So I got out of the habit of checking very often.
