throw a few black vinyl spots on them and they're as breedable as that cheezy corn puff mascot.... :LOL: .. but you are seeing two Rs in place of one, have you had too much to drink this evening?

I live in the overlap between big city problems and tourist area problems, but it's not really like that "daily" there's spates of it every few months.

For 3 decades, I've been mostly happy with "Good value reliable hatchback with decent gas mileage" ... apart from that class has gone functionally extinct.... and a couple of minivans thrown in when we had more people around... and those have got fat and underimproved... far far away from ye...

I am gonna jump to the conclusion that anyone carrying a crowbar that doesn't mind making a lot of noise, or looking like they're obviously crowbarring something, will smash a window also, so no point leaving bed uncovered and hiding stuff under back seat or in glovebox either. Have only had...

I have prepared a diagram to illustrate the situation...

The tennis ball trick that went round the internet missed out details, the one that was actually in use from 2 or 3 years prior worked, though highly limited in year range and models and actual age/wear of vehicle (new locks were too tight.) That's why I say things like hunt for where they can...

Yeah that's pretty good, just need a clip on hook or something you can release easy with the gate down.

Well they were popping locks with the tennis ball trick a few years back just to dump gloveboxes. So there's street level amateurs that will pick up a couple of tricks and go on the hunt for where they can use them and chance on what they get. Anyway so the easy way to be doing this would be...

That is one of the ideas under consideration, gotta find max height that will not interfere with flip back and tie up at back of cab modes. Also preferably not rubbing or gouging other pieces. Got some kinda short stuff, but not sure it couldn't be flexed out the way by someone who doesn't care...

Date night method. Find a town 50-90 miles away with a drive in diner and a drive in movie, go once a month.

Hi folks, I realise that no tonneau is absolutely secure, only various degrees of relatively. However, the Ford piece seems to have a fairly obvious exploit.... slim jim or coathanger to the release cable. Since it is a relatively common tonneau on Mavericks, I will surmise that thieves will...

There are a wealth of options for 10 year old hybrids, I am gonna make the presumption that Maverick demand in the masses is several years out yet, so they don't do it YET, but based on what I'm seeing there, I would guesstimate a reconditioned Mav battery with 3 year warranty would be around...

It's like how bearproof is never really bearproof, you just gotta have some cooler/barrel that takes them longer than 30 mins to open, then they get frustrated and try the next campsite. With thieves it's probably something like 2 minutes.

The platform is in roughly the same state of development as the last gen of the panther platform. Starting in 04 with the C1, there was then a divergence with the CD2 for the 1G/2G Escapes, and all that was folded back in and planned to be part of C2, so it's more like the Focus it launched on...

If the inside of the receiver still has all it's paint it's probably a virgin. However, there's steps and racks etc that ain't strictly "towing" that will do that, so maybe a little galling on the pin hole would be the indicator that it really done did some.

All of the KC hiilighters.... 6 at least.... think of the speed you'll gain with a tailwind.

IDK if that model even performs as well as the hybrid, it was notoriously slower than the actual police models used in the film. Also does about 250 miles to the tank at highway speed if you milk it. So arrives loses 10 mins every 500 miles to either Mav I think.

I had a thought... Could it be that the continual torque against resistance of towing is compressing the engine mounts in position, such that the exhaust gets pulled in? I am thinking you should hear louder exhaust noise when this starts happening, due to pressure waves hitting the edge of the...

Yah the only compact spaces I can remember seeing around here are for compact compacts, only the old short wheelbase minivans just squeeze in, and some CUVs, but Maverick probably wouldn't.

When there's beer in Texarkana and they're thirsty in Atlanta... Urgent loads, be they big or parcel size.
