It was very simple to do. I’m below average in the handy category, but this is a simple modification to complete. Watch a YouTube video, have the prop tools and should be just a few minutes to complete.
My purchase was to combine the traits I wanted from an 08 Yaris and a 98 Ranger into a retirement veh for myself. The Maverick provides good mileage and the lift capcity of the two vehicles.
I settled for a Maverick that I could get from a rejected order, paying over sticker price. The XL isn’t my first choic, but what I could get and as I don’t drive a whole lot, it will be fine for my needs.
Was at the license bureau paying the sales tax and getting the new plates today. Went to leave and the rascal would not come out of Park. I was on a slight incline but foot on the brake and it wouldn't shift. I shut off the engine, waited a moment and restarted, everything worked as designed...
Yes, I save as much as 50 cents per gallon in the St. Louis area. The QT by my house is into some serious price gouging and it is cheaper for me to fill up across town at Costco rather than pay the highway robbery price at Quick Trip.
In the year 2022 with all the technology built into these vehicles it is absurd that the clocks do not automatically sync with the correct local time. it is also absurd that if they don’t the owners manuals don’t have the word “clock“ in the index.
Having moved from a 08 Yaris this is a significant upgrade. I will miss my little buddy that got me through some rough commutes in the ice and snowm but the Maverick is a significant upgrade.
