Should have used the bed extender.

Guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

One thing to keep in mind…….. 100% of every foot you travel in a hybrid is provided by gasoline. Hills don’t help. They hinder. What you lose climbing UP the hill, you do not get back coasting back down, and vice-versa. So drive it, ALL THE TIME, as you would a gasoline car. Long term……..the...

Wife used an app for this. An oil painting effect.

Well put.

Hope he salvages those wheels!

Back to the original topic……… I wouldn’t buy anything to fix it. THAT‘S THE JOB OF THE SHOP WHO “FIXED“ IT! Bring it back to them. Be politely angry. This is not a difficult job for professionals. You should not have to waste your time and money on their screw-up!

Drum Major leading the parade……….

At the very least (if no constructive use could be found), that lumber would meet my chainsaw, and then my wood stove. Waste not, want not!

When I first got my Maverick, 4 years ago next month, I pulled the rear headrests, for better visibility. Had to remember to replace them whenever double dating. Sometimes I forgot, leaving myself wide open to a suit, should an accident occur. So, now that I’m accustomed to the truck, I put them...

OK. We can leave tire wear to another thread. But, you started this thread about MPG’s. Higher pressure leads to less rolling resistance, which leads to better MPG’s. To each his own.

Driven in a straight line, with higher pressure, the center will wear considerably more than the outer edges. “Spirited” driving on the twisties evens it out. Over time, this will result in higher MPG’s, longer lasting tires, and better handling. Pretend you’re riding a bike. Go around the...

In this whole thread, never read a word about tire pressure. Bring it up to a bit above 40 (cold reading, before getting underway). Promise, you’ll be amazed.

Also……. Try marking (just a scratch will do it) the oil filter. Pulling the filter will spill some oil. So they may as well do the oil change too. Without oil analysis, and unless the oil is very dirty, really no way to test if it’s been changed.

Good for you, man. Sounds to me that you were in the right place at the right time. Happy for you.

Maybe I missed it………. This was “new”, right? Not “used”?

Because all of the auxiliary gizmos (radio, lights, gauges, etc) operate on 12v. The 12v battery basically acts as a voltage regulator. Besides, who wants high voltage wires running behind his dashboard?
