"My friends aren't talking about it, so must be BS" :ROFLMAO: I mean, you have the internet, you can in a few short minutes find specs, details, studies and testimonials that Top Tier gas is an actual better standard for gas. But you choose not to.

I guess everyone's mileage varies, but I have been driving mostly Fords for close to 20 years now, with a few Subaru's and Toyota's in the mix, and I have never had a problem with OEM pads. I have tried ceramic blends and the primary difference I noticed was the cost, with an ever so slightly...

Probably will take a few years, but now that EVs are not a Tesla solo show, I can see an actual $25k EV in the 5-10 years future for sure.

You didn't watch the video, did you? Top Tier is an actual spec for gas manufacturers to meet that dictates a SIGNIFICANLY higher amount of detergents and additives than minimum requirement in USA. Top Tier gas is actually, objectively, better for your car and will keep your engine cleaner and...

If the EV option has 500+ miles of highway range and doesn't cost a stupid amount - most likely yes. I got the Maverick for around town and utility transport with relatively frequent road trips, and as I don't plan to go off the grid, and EV option would be less maintenance and more fun.

Maybe not well and not for long, but a modern engine will probably run on any octane. Feel free to experiment and let us know! ;) The simple economics of the matter boil down to: is it worth it to me to pay 60-80c/gallon more to put the best recommended fuel in my engine? Is $200-250/year a...

Lol, the ceramic circlejerk! Real ceramic pads require matching rotors so you don't wear away the $100 part with the $10 part. Most of the "ceramic" pads are "hybrid" or "semi-ceramic" - aka still tons of dust to allow for good cold performance and eliminate the squeal. I ran real, high...

Timely oil changes is an easy way to have 100k+ trouble-free miles. I can change my oil for about $35-40 running a pure synthetic top end oil. These new oils are good for 7500-15000 miles, and you can get a matching filter, but that will really "wear out" the oil. On a turbo, oil is even more...

It's a good test, but it focuses on power and efficiency in a naturally aspirated small engine. Like many have said - it's not really about that. It's about knock and a turbo engine in the Maverick. Premium Gas in an engine that is designed for it will: generate 1-5% more HP ensure knock...

Not sure if a troll or "special"... considering there is an open recall for trailer wiring and googling "ford maverick trailer lights" gets you the recall as one of the first results...

This is actually the exact idea I was looking for! The MX4 cover rails make it basically impossible to slide in the divider, and this is an easy solution for getting that board in place.

If you can get Ford to swap out your windshield due to rock damage, more power to you! 2 cracked windshields in previous cars taught me not to tailgate on the highway, cause you know, rocks happen. Also, just like "back in my day, if your car rolled over you just rolled it back and kept going"...

I got the MX4, RealTruck gives a nice discount to forum members if you ask! All covers will leak to some extent, but the hard ones wear better long term I think. Now, my experience is mostly positive, with a small caveat: the included gaskets are trash! I replaced the back of cab gasket with a...

Eh, that's pricing from a few years ago, but even today 10 sqft of the new 3M, not the crappy yellowing stuff everyone remembers from "back in the day", is $50. That's enough for leading edge of hood and fenders, and if you take your time it will last at least 3-5 years. I used it on my previous...

So my recommendation would be to DIY. It will be 80-90% as good, but 85%-95% of that $1600 is labor. You can get a roll of PPF that's enough to cover 5 cars for a few hundred. I applied some spot PPF to my previous car - first time ever it took me a couple of hours, BUT: the actual material was...

I mean, everyone wants a Maverick hence the long line. I am confused why people have trouble understanding that. Toyota has a shorter line - they have been a leader in hybrids, so they have more options. None of them are a truck.

Dealers take orders and then put them in with Ford nightly/daily. A lag in communication is expected. Ford shut down the order banks in less than a week in 2022 as they saw them outrunning capacity. I don't think Ford knows exact annual capacity a year in advance, so it doesn't cancel orders it...

I want to get on the same page as everyone here: you are (pre)ordering a truck. It doesn't exist yet, you are giving a company money indicating interest before it has the item to sell you. Communication from Ford is lacking to say the least, but at the end of the day, ALL Ford owes anyone with...

"I would take this over a Civic" I'll take that as high praise! :ROFLMAO:

Do you care about your bed getting scratched, dented and rusty? No - don't get a bed liner, you don't need it. Yes - get a bedliner, it will protect from scratches, dents and most importantly rust. I got a spray in liner, Line-X, which while expensive does seem to offer pretty good protection...
