Winner gets a free Maverick? :)

Best source I have seen says 9/15 no idea where you got 9/19. Age limit?? Not sure what you mean. Age to legally buy a vehicle would be regulated by your state. I hope I get mine before I get too old to drive though..........

Dealer prep is the dealer getting the truck ready for sale. Cleaning, check fluids, maybe an inspection and test drive. If they don't charge much for it, that's good value. But lots of places it's just a scam to add money in the dealer's pocket. Always worth asking at the dealer what the...

Nailed it. Anything else is just speculation. There are so many variables involved both in the details of the particular order and in production and shipping that it is simply impossible to predict within a half year when any one order will get made.

Wonder what that is made of. Looks like some kind of spun bonded plastic. If so the only way to get a neat job would be to melt the edges like you do with nylon rope. As to the grass, was that lawn grass or umm some other type of grass.................

I currently have a Jeep Cherokee, not sure what the actual cargo space is but with rear seats down it hauls just about everything I need to. Except a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Which is why I am interested in the Maverick. Comparing cubic foot numbers does not really tell the whole story. It is...

Technically they said "mid-September" and the assumption has been 9/15 but nothing I have seen from Ford has actually given a date. Some rumors hint that the date might be pushed back even further. But as noted above you need to find a dealer and go have a sit down. Maybe even do a...

And just publicly announced that there is no market for EV's. Toyota says there's no EV demand – maybe try selling one the wheels stay on? | Electrek I don't know what to say about Toyota. They keep dragging their feet on EV's, posting a lot of FUD and even trying hard to get politicians to...

I don't think it works that way. Unless you stop in the tunnel and turn off the truck................. But I wouldn't recommend you try that.

Ford has two new battery plants coming on line in 2025. And different battery chemistries that do not require so much of limited supply materials. Jim Farley stated in an interview that electric vehicles are ramping up much faster than they expected and that is throwing a wrench in their...

I don't really disagree with you, but on the other hand I've carried a set of jumper cables in every vehicle I've owned for over 40 years. And had to use them more often than I should have. So having a backup way to start your vehicle is just good planning. With the introduction of "jump...

Highly recommend NOCO brand. Have had one for over 5 years and still works perfectly. Many sizes available as well as a whole selection of cables and connectors.

Dealers have a well-tuned process to up-sell you on stuff you don't need. Your salesperson will hand you off to the sales manager and then the sales manager will hand you off to the finance guy. Each one will try very hard to sell you stuff. They will make it sound as if it is in your best...

Sounds like BS to me. I would be asking exactly what parts are needed. Sounds to me like it is possible they broke something while doing the recall and need the parts to fix it.

Well, sort of. All hybrids do have a start / stop. But on a hybrid you don't notice it because you start moving instantly with the electric motor and the ICE engine starts and stops as needed. On my Prius you could get up to 20mph or maybe a bit more before the ICE engine would start. Unless...

That is actually where a hybrid shines. ICE engine takes a bit to get things going. Electric motor has full power at zero. That's why hybrids work so well, use the electric motor when that is the most efficient and the ICE engine when it is. And unlike an ICE engine with "start/stop" like...

If you get past the "it's ugly" and all the other jokes it was astonishing how much you could load into that Prius. Fold down the rear seats and just fill her up. The contractor who built my house drove a Tesla. Now that got him a lot of looks. Most people assumed he was just a hands off...

It's OK I'm used to the abuse........ :)

Ouch.

I drove a Prius for just under 10 years, 110,000 miles and really liked the vehicle. But I have to admit I didn't like the jokes and abuse Prius drivers had to put up with. Especially since my family is mostly a "truck" family. So not only Jay Leno but most of my cousins just couldn't help...
