Another addition.
Sopa de Queso (cheese soup) last night, 1/7/2025, at the familiar Las Palmeras Restaurante in Álamos Sonora Mexico.
Enjoyed a Bohemia Vienna Oscura from Cervecería Cuauhtémoc located in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.
It's a dark beer, a good...
I found the 2nd video, where they towed, fascinating. Being it's a test in a pre-production vehicle, it's hard to draw conclusions without giving them the opportunity to revisit some of the tuning and have another go at it.
Holy Cow Cal! You've had a complete meltdown. My post was nothing but complimentary and you went all "I'm a jealous dick on me".. What gives dude? :shock:
Boone NC is in the Appalachian Mountains... hence my reference to 'When you venture up into the Appalachians' in my posts (which I guess you...
Cool. Even Columbus Ohio has an altitude of 800'... so even at that altitude you'd have to derate by almost 5%... (got to be some spots close to 1k' around there no?) so the 4k will be 3800lbs.. You'll b every close... and probably beyond the limits once you venture up into the Appalacians... I...

It does look better... When I pop the hood it doesn't look like an unfinished engine bay...
I don't have any 17 or 19 weights.. However, I'll state that the Maverick 18" BAP Alloys (which are the same as the First Edition wheels with the exception of matte paint and no exposed machine surfaces) and the accompanying Michelin Primacy AS 225/60 R18 Tires weighed right at 49lbs together...
Thanks Jack.... I appreciate the value of the topic, just being a bit of a hard nose about our Forum's 'filing system'. I'll reword my request, upon further review, I was definitely a bit curt about it... Sorry about that.
More of a General automotive topic, and not specific to Mavericks... Though it has value for Maverick owners, and any car owner for that matter. Can we move it to a general automotive forum or more specific forum?

I'll keep it rolling with another. Attended a nice dinner with music last night, 12/31/2024, at Charismas Restaurante in Álamos Sonora Mexico.
Enjoyed a Bachuculi Stout from Cervezería Yoreme located in Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico.
Yoreme is a Mayo word (Mayos are an...
