Any flexure of a painted will eventually crack over time. Maybe a trifold hard cover and only paint the hard surface. The main reason most are black is reflection into the cab.
Maybe just a simple loosening and retorquing of the newly installed assembly will help.
The reason they bypass that is because of their 100% confidence it was done right the first and also the cost of disposable parts needed to do that, meaning warranty work on the repair work they completed...
Thatās Ranger territory and I have both Maverick and Ranger. I prefer the Ranger myself but my wife loves the Maverick!! We paid 31k for the Maverick loaded Lariat Hybrid but waited over a year for delivery. Happy no issues except dash rattling.
I think the point is that he can plug his electric device in and not continuously have his vehicle ICE running continuously vs people with an ICE only would have to continuously run their ICE while using the onboard inverter.
2022 Lariat Hybrid, took delivery 10/22/2022. 14 k miles. All recalls done. Took an 1100 mile trip with various weather and road conditions. Went from Orange County CA up highway 395 through Lone Pine, Bishop, Mammoth and a trip to Death Valley. Beautiful views and back road scenery. Handled it...
Agreed, I volunteered when people were bitching about being drafted. Nobody owes me anything but hell yes I will ask for a discount on just about everything. Itās saved me a lot of money in some unusual places. As a veteran I donāt expect anything, advertising can be deceiving and misleading...
Sometimes dealers forget to remove their alarms in place before delivery or maybe someone is just checking out their laser sights because of people doing weird stuff in their window. š¤·
The one thing the recall did was when I filled it up the miles to empty was only 342 miles to empty like when I first bought it. I filled at 50 MTE but itās still at about 340 MTE at 3/4 tank. I suppose that will change over the next few tanks where it reads higher.
Phil is a great source of information!! Price sensitive people donāt want to pay for the right crimp tool for casual use. So like hillbilly said, liquid tape. Itās used on many marine applications. The price is right!!
