I know I saw some posts previously that mentioned putting one of these hitch covers on could cause water and moisture to become trapped and will rust out the hitch? Anyone have any evidence to confirm or deny that claim? I'm sure some of you have had their cover on for a few years now and have...
Well dang I came across your post as I've been looking into getting one of these front hood bug shields from Ford. So did your truck come with the Ford shield already installed when you bought it? Also do you park outside? I've seen a few folks mention these shields that tape on can leave...
This is my wife's Escape so really no interest in swapping out the wheels to save a little weight but I do appreciate the heads up on the $110 rebate on Continental tires.
Any chance you have some pics of the textured Aeroskin II on the Ruby Red Maverick? That's the color Maverick I have and I'm thinking of getting one but curious how it looks on the Ruby Red.
Glad to hear that the Pirelli Scorpion AS3's are treating you well. I am also eyeing the Continental TrueContact Tour 54's like you mentioned and they appear to be a strong contender to replace our OEM Michelin Primacy's. They weight in at the same 26lbs per tire as the OEM Michelin Primacy's in...
That is true. We have Discount Tire here which is where I normally get my tires as they will price match anyone. It just so happens that Discount Tire own's Tire Rack (they acquired them in 2021). I know your happy with your Pirelli Scorpion's but they are a touch heavier than the OEM Michelin...
I did come across the tirerack info you linked to for the TrueContact Tour 54's in my research. They look like a great tire and would hopefully suit our 23 Escape AWD Hybrid well. Here are some other tires I have on my shortlist if anyone is interested. I'm paying attention to the weight of the...
I know this is an old post but I just wanted to see if you had an update on the Continental LX25's you put on our Maverick? Do you still have them on there? How are they wearing, etc?
Just wondering how your liking the Continental Tour 54 tires? Also what tire did your 23 hybrid come with and how do these Conti's compare (mpg, noise, etc)?
I like the Matte version myself but I'm still on the fence about getting one. I think I have a few stone chips in the area where it goes so maybe I should fix those first:). Although Father's Day is coming up and it would make a great gift, lol.
Well if you haven't gotten the clunk by now at 10K miles knock on wood your one of the chosen one's and in the clear:) Enjoy your truck and here's to many happy motoring miles ahead!
I too have a 25 AWD Hybrid XLT but no 4k and it just turned (1) a few days ago and also has 10K miles on it. I love it so far except I have the dreaded 13mph thunk (or clunk or thud) which happens like clockwork every time I slow down. Just curious if you happen to have this issue as well? If...
Sorry about all the issues your having with your Maverick. Please keep us informed as to what the dealer says. I do notice you made mention of a clunk from the rear end. Does this clunk happen to occur when slowing down around 13 mph by chance? If so there are a bunch of us who have this 13 mph...
So the Defender 2's did well in the rain? I'm looking into tires for our 23 Escape Hybrid AWD and I've seen some reviews (even professional one's) that mention the Defender 2's don't inspire confidence in the rain let alone snow. The Escape came with Michelin Primacy's which has performed well...
Just wondering if you can comment on the Michelin CC2's vs the Defender 2's as it sounds like you've had experience with both. I know you mentioned you didn't notice a difference in mpg on your trip with the CC2's compared to the OEM tires but has that data held up? It seems like the majority of...
So is this Ford Aeroskin model a matte finish or shiny? I like a matte look but my old eyes have trouble telling from some of the pictures, lol. Anyone have this installed on a Ruby Red Maverick?
Please report back and let us know what your dealer says. Also I see that @PanchoBarrancas mentioned replacing the rear diff fluie at 37K miles removed their thunk entirely and it hasn't come back in 12K miles. I know mine didn't do it when it was new but 3 or 4 months into ownership it started...
I have a new in box tailgate assist (can't remember the brand) and a new in box hitch cover as well and I don't plan to use either one of them. Probably would be too expensive to ship (I'm in Michigan)?
