I expect the hybrid will give less trouble over the life of the vehicle. But. The repair costs for those times when it fails will likely be 'up there'. I went with the ecoboost because I wanted to. My personal take is that it is possible to abuse a boosted engine and have poor longevity. I...

All have the cutouts, but only higher priced spreads have the opening and internal storage. I figure if you want them, order the bits at your local dealer, and then do a R&R old panels for new bins. An alternative is to get creative and make your own. There should be a 12V plug hidden behind...

"Many injured when bus skids into fire hydrant. Reports of 300 people who rode the Crosstown #55 injured and streaming into local ERs. The bus has a capacity of 45." Sound familiar? Jealousy is learned. Accepting that some were partially compensated for a problem out of their control, and...

If a fuel surcharge is added to the price of a vehicle .... we have come so far that a tank of gas must be financed over the life of the vehicle. Gas prices must be through the roof. I don't know how fuel got onto a DORA as it is a vehicle being purchased, not a tank of fuel. In the past, a...

Nothing. There were no offerings that appealed, I had no real need, but just liked what I saw enough that I placed an order. First thing in years that got me interested. The newest Ranger had a little 'buy me' pull, but not enough to get out the checkbook.

If you knew how many parts go into an automatic transmission, even just a 304 speed, you would shy away from them a bit more. A manual transmission can wear out the synchros, but still be driven. It can have failing bearings on the input/output shaft, and still go thousands of miles...

From scheduling info on site, Bronco Sport was to have been 'closed out' last week or previous, or at least none were scheduled for production 'real soon now'. Assuming the same production line for Sport and Maverick, that would possibly open the line to increase Maverick production. As a...

I will take the manual recommendations under consideration. I figure they did not put crap oil into a new engine they HAD TO WARRANTY and say leave it there if it was not a reasonable suggestion. As far as chips and shavings being floated around the engine by the oil, if they are indeed...

If all you want to do is to discourage a casual tailgate taker, then why not use a screw-type hose clamp. Loosening the clamp will take some time instead of allowing a quick grab. It also requires a tool for removal, and that may be unexpected, again discouraging theft. If you have the XLT...

When you cite 'highway', what speed do you drive at? If you have a strong gas pedal foot, and like 70+ mph, drop back to between 65-68ish. Likely gain 5-6 mpg. That seems to be a 'critical point' for most sorta-boxy vehicles. I can get 28 in a 2007 Mariner(Escape) 3.0, wife gets 23-24...

Placeholder to avoid 'null' database entry. The actual ETA date depends upon production working as planned. Unforseen circumstances could modify expected date, so why bother until the thing is coming off the line, ready to ship?

Only caution is that the level of tin applied is likely close to the legal limit in states that regulate the front seat side window tint. I'd be a bit leery of someone willing to tint to whatever level desired without concern for legal authorities giving some input miles/months down the road...

I thought it was so small I passed on it. Then saw some pics taken from inside, and it appeared to be a lot larger. Thought the manual slider might be larger than the power slider given that inside view. Changed the order. I think it is as small as it appears as viewed from the bed. Tiny...

Brother got me this. Gotta figure where it should go.

What does this detail mean(copied from the page): "Security/Remote Start System Module must be purchased separately. "

This seems to have the bits'n'pieces: https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/body/instrument-panels Though it does not have images. Item description is: " Vent Air Louvre " for about $25... tom ADDed... Of course the link is diddled, I think. Select 2022 maverick and scroll around for 'instrument...

What did you sign, if anything? I would not want to be expecting a specific model to show up and then be !surprise!-ed by the ADM items that add profit and cost but little to no value. Once it is on the lot, and your price is being 're-negotiated' then and there, you will be starting from...

The copy editor was trying out some different words.

If you had a written agreement, then you can hold them to it in a court of law. I am not a lawyer and have no legal skills... but a dealer in WI sold to someone else a vehicle my sister & BIL had purchased, and the got them to find an equivalent vehicle at no increase in cost. (newer...

Anyone living where they salt the roads: When the snow melts for a bit, take your truck to a self-serve car wash, and wash the wrong side of the car. The underside needs more wash than the shiny side. That will displace/dilute a lot of the salt that promotes corrosion. Even just a rinse with...
