Bet it wouldn't be too difficult to cut a sheet of red theatrical lighting gel to size and glue stick the edges to adhere it on the outside of the lenses. May be a community theater group or high school/college drama department near you willing to part with a sheet or a scrap piece of gel for a...

What is shown in the bottom photo appear to be more scuff marks than scratches. Gentle rubbing with one of those dampened Mr. Clean Magic Eraser thingamabobs ought to make them vanish. Test it out on a small patch first.

I didn't declare the article moot, I declared your question about it applying to Mavericks moot.

Oh, one more thing. Picked up the license plates (as well as the FITSmas gift box) from the dealership on that same day. Three letters, three numbers on the plates. Letters are LMH. Presuming M would stand for Maverick, soliciting light-hearted suggestions on what the others should stand for...

Diff'rent strokes and all that but from my perspective, a vociferous no.

All Hawaii dealers doing a mark-up. As stated in another thread, managed by sheer force of obstinance to whittle that down enough to meet my lowered expectations (different metric from my full satisfaction). Among other cards played as the hours ticked by : 1) I always try to support local...

FYI, Ford complaint line: (800) 392-FORD. They'll try to mollify you with a "What, me worry?" temperament, yet it is better to get something on the record than to remain mute

Having less than zero interest in the Bronco, no. But having been around the block enough times to have worn a trench into the pavement, can recognize a reliance on sensationalism when I encounter it; have read other articles there in the not so distant past and found them increasingly scant of...

For all intents and purposes, there's no such thing as dealer stock orders for Mavericks. Also (IMHO), Jalopnik has devolved from a site which used to be informative to one living on clickbait. Eminently ignorable place for a while now.

Cool ride, but that color - ugh. If there were really truth in advertising it would be named Baby Diarrhea. YMMV. 😉

Seem to recall it was determined on another thread that particular icon is an indicator of time (or maybe it was mileage) of electric operation (circle w/slash and pump symbol signifying Not Running on Gas) and not a warning at all.

Don't do all that much driving anymore. Slightly shy of three weeks after taking ownership and now with around 60 miles total on the road, a few minor eccentricities which fall into the 'will eventually learn to live with it but would it were otherwise' category: 1) Headlight switch defaults to...

Good thread about some other things to eyeball before accepting the keys and driving off the lot: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/delivery-checklist.7561/

Woo-hoo!

Obscure reference but it would be cool to have an overlay badge reading Flying Wombat. :D

It certainly matters significantly less than once upon a time (whether or not it ever had a noticeable impact remains an open question). I suspect it now comes into play more when scheduling production for dealerships with a high volume of orders.

At one point a friend loaned me use of his little Toyota pick-up. With a V-8. One could see the gas gauge going down, down down practically with every foot traveled. ☺

Correct me if wrong about this but my understanding is the USB ports at rear of center console are primarily for charging or other power out purposes and not suitable to data transmission. Either the A or C ports up front geared to handle data with no problem. And no, none inside the console...

As others have pointed out, this dealer is giving you, to put it charitably, misleading information. If your sales person is so insistent that it "needs to be a 10" then tell him or her you'll wait on the line for the sales department to confirm it's been changed it to a 10, as Priorities 10...
