I was thinking of putting in the fumoto valve as well, but now decided against it. The space around both oil filter and drain plug is narrow-ish and awkward, nothing to really attach the foil to reliably, going to be a pain and still has a great chance for spillage. So have you managed to keep...

So today I decided was a warm enough day to change the oil in my Maverick. Great! I read a few topics on here with folks saying that you don't need to remove the big skidplate for an oil change, the oil *just* misses it and drains if you take out that plastic air scoop. Just use a red cup on...

If you are a tiny bit over the warranty, many manufacturers are willing to help you out if you ask nicely. Doesn't always work, because they don't have to, but if you explain your situation you can often get complementary service. Especially for a common issue.

Between working with a good dealer and asking nicely at the warranty department, this kind of thing would typically be covered. Though going into a new model it would be recommended buying an extended warranty, cause you know - we are the beta testers.

what is this whiny bs post? customer service gives you the latest published script - that's all they have. Dealers get the more up-to-date info - not great, but has always been that way. call your dealer and whine at them. from your profile you also ordered the most highly constrained model -...

I mean, I just put it in neutral without turning it off... I was worried reading all these posts about temp neutral and auto park and stuff, but as long as the truck is running it will just stay in neutral.

I know you asked about other options, but RockBlokz are pretty awesome. Solid attachment, no paint overlap, stick out in all the right places to minimize splash. I have been really happy with them so far.

Heavy things, most likely with dirt on the bottom, slide around and scratch the paint? I would say that seems obvious, but I guess it's not 🤷‍♂️ "Green" paint has been thinner and easier to scratch and chip for at least 15 years now, that dead horse isn't just beaten, it's pulverized. Any...

Michelin CrossClimate 2s have been absolutely amazing in the snow for me, and are also significantly quieter than the stock Scorpions. They are on the expensive side and guaranteed for 60k miles, but they give you a reasonably quiet ride, decent handling and snow-tire comparable snow performance...

MSRP is the retail price the manufacturer wants to see on the shelf to ensure that it sells close to 100% of what it produces. This already includes a profit margin for the retailer, which varies GREATLY based on the product. It's typically seen as a "fair" price where both manufacturer and...

Tesla paint is another level of bad though. Their showroom models have orange peel so bad you would think I can-sprayed them in my garage. I was considering a model Y before the Maverick, but after a close look and a test drive I was so disappointed at what you get for 60-70k it's not even a...

You were looking at an apple, gave up and bought an orange. cool I guess. We here wanted apples and got or are getting apples. Also cool. A Tesla is car made by a technology company, it is not a truck, it costs a ton more and is more of a performance crossover with shitty paint and terrible...

Yes. The keyless start, ACC and upgrade to Sync 3 sold me on it. Seats are nice too, good audio upgrade, etc. For the total price, it was absolutely worth it. Yes, some things are rough around the edges, and yes it's the luxury tier on a budget truck, but for me where it really matters the...

Not much is said because it just works. seems solid so far, not much issues with it. google "8F35 transmission problems". Try reading some of the results... Ask "people" where they got their information. Ford used this transmission in a few cars in the last few years and if there was a...

The 8F35 that's in EcoBoost has been around for a long long time, could be a few one-off assembly issues but it's a pretty proven transmission with kinks worked out at this point.

lol, 2 out of thousands report issue, obviously recall time.

Actually anyone "reporting" stuff on 'tubes of any kind does have something to gain - drama sells and makes for better clickbait. No one will watch a video that says "X car is perfectly average", but if the video says "It's the best car you can't get!" or "This hidden defect in your car could...

Very nice! I got the same config but in a Lariat, hoping it gets built soon!
