It's build week for me as of 30 minutes ago. We'll see how long it takes to get a fully loaded Maverick (Lariat, BAP, tonneau, spray liner, mud flaps, etc) delivered. I'm hoping it makes it here before the last week of March so I don't have to get my current vehicle inspected just before getting...
It's a little funny to hear the consternation over the "leather/vinyl" seats regarding being too hot, cold, or sweaty and how it's a deal-breaker when there are so many simple solutions.
Hot & Cold: Fabric/neoprene seat covers, throw a blanket or towel down, seat cushions.
Hot: Plug-in air...
Not sure where they'd move all the stuff that's mounted behind the rear seat back. It's possible some of it could be moved under the seat, but you'd likely lose that storage space entirely to do it for a lariat level trim. The seat backs would need hardened and bolstered to support heavy items...
That's true, but some people like to play numbers games like that even if there's no practical payback. There are ancillary benefits as well, less unsprung weight will increase ride quality, taller sidewalls will increase ride quality and make the wheels less susceptible to road damage from...
I have a coupe with 5% on the rear triangle glass and 35% on the rear windshield and front windows. My eyes are bright light sensitive and my vehicle's A/C is a bit anemic so I had it done awhile ago for comfort. Didn't get pulled over for years, then I got stopped twice for tint in a month (and...
You could try asking your doctor or optometrist to write you a medical excuse for tint. Bright light sensitive eyes, UV sensitive skin that burns easily, thyroid problems causing heat regulation issues, etc. Worst they can say is no. In PA you need to submit the excuse to the DoT and get a...
As long as your music is tagged properly, Musicolet (android app, free) will auto-organize on your preference of album, genre, year, artist, etc., and lets you organize custom playlists. Save yourself the trouble of doing by hand what a computer can do in fractions of a second.
I drive an F-450 from time to time at work, so a compact truck will be nicer to maneuver around with afterwards. Should have mine in March if everything goes smoothly.
Por que no los dos? No reason they couldn't have run two tests, with stock and a decent set of snows to show the difference. Two experienced people working together can swap wheels in short order. This was a relatively low effort video. If they wanted the minimum amount of rigor they'd have used...
I can't remember the last time I used the visor mirror, but I do think that having a pair of RED LEDs to save your nighttime vision would be handy if you need a spot of light at night but don't want to nuke your corneas with the bright white overhead interior lights.
Unfortunately there is little enforcement of DoT standards in many, many areas which drives the pushback against vehicle headlights like this thread shows.
If law enforcement and inspections started enforcing correct headlight aiming, fog-light usage, citing for non-street legal bulbs/lamps...
I had an order* in on December 6th (waited for job 2), and have a VIN and build week of Feb 17th.
*2025 EG Hybrid Lariat, 4K tow, 3x fold tonneau, spray bed-liner, BAP.
If want services to your home to arrive, that's the point. EMS/Fire wouldn't make it up that driveway either, and they'd have to risk foot traversal up while potentially having to carry someone down that as well. Delivery services would run the risk of getting stuck or either forcing them to...
Blue, Purple, and Gold would be triadic colors to green. Black and white usually work with most colors they can offer a contrast against (i.e. white and light gray not great, but white and dark gray good).
Getting started from a stop is when you need torque the most, and where an electric motor shines by having 100% torque at 0RPM. That turbo needs RPMs to work and won't be generating any torque from a dead stop.
It will however likely be better going up a long climb if you're already at speed...
Many Fords are like this, and I believe it may be an attempt to reduce the "oops wrong pedal" issue some older folks have.
You can try adding a single pedal cover to bring the pedals more in line with each other...
Traffic and steering adaptive headlights should have been mandatory for some time now but we're stuck in the dark ages.
One thing I do see in particular is people retrofitting older halogen-light vehicles with drop in LEDs... which if they are DESIGNED properly is ok(ish). The problem is that...
