  1. Ford $30K Electric Truck. A winner?

    Not for 30 K it wont The BYD Shark from china is like that but is about 45K. I saw youtube review of it. It came from Mexico were its sold. So no way no how for 30K . Its just going to be a real short range truck. Want 250 range pay 40K.
  2. Ford $30K Electric Truck. A winner?

    51 kw battery LOL Guess range would be rated at 150 miles . Remember rated range and real range are NOT the same. Plus who drives to empty even with a gas car even with gas stations all over. Insurance according to My AI is 49 percent MORE on average not just a little. Remember you must...
  3. The Maverick is a full size truck*, change my mind

    FYI I found a Nissan frontier on cars. com for 34840 S base model with 4x4. V6 so their are some mid size under 35K.
  4. BMS recall/Update

    So does it really help this Pulsetech thing? If I understand you still need to charge the Mav battery every ten days? I myself had the service bulletin done in this past august and they also replaced battery with another lead battery and reset BMS. . Dome light has been working since and have...
  5. Bottle jack with pinch weld adapter

    The safest thing for flats is to carry a jack stand and just use the factory jack. Are those bottle jacks low enough with fully flat tire? My first month of owning my 23 Mav I had a flat. I hadn't had a flat in decades. I now carry one jack stand in bed.
  6. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    If I was in some major traffic backup I would much rather be in my Hybrid Mav than any EV. If by the unlikely chance i ran low on gas since the gas engine would hardly ever run in bumper to bumper I could most likely find some or even have some in a can in bed. Straight up gas car then no.

    After watching this not so sure . Yes Canada but I wouldn't be surprised if it starts happening in the USA more too. Risk aversion
  8. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    I agree it can be for some I think it is NUTS to go off road with ANY EV. If insurance company even see's a dent in the skid plate for huge battery they total vehicle if you say no they drop you. They are afraid of risk of fire and HUGE lawsuit. Seen it documented on youtube. So not for off...
  9. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    Okay for YOU it works I just go by averages. Plus new car not used. Sombody has to buy them new. Not saying owning a EV is bad or no good. BUT when I see the,,,,,, Its cheaper I say not so fast. Google and AI say 44 to 49 percent more to insure. Which looks right when I used gieco calculator...
  10. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    My new phone with Gemini AI says on average it cost 44 to 49 percent more to insure an equivalent EV to gas car. Google says 49 percent more . Gieco has insured me for quite a while being the lowest cost.
  11. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    In your case sure. Got a cheap lease. I am not against EV just like to look at the facts for the average person,. Sure if you can get the vehicle in either a lease for less or buy it then sure that makes a huge difference,. I go by average which usually cost more for EV like a chevy blazer...
  12. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    Not seeing your exact point. BUT 2 hours of charging for 7 hours of driving is okay with you , fine. NOT me. I did a trip to pick something up for a hobby of mine to big to ship for reasonable price. . 8 hour drive each way. I stopped only once for gas/bathroom going out . So 10...

  14. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    Long time argument . You ignore OTHER costs of an EV like initial cost of 10K more on average. Blazer Gas 37K, EV 46K start. Then another BIG one resale value. Again on average its much lower I cant remember the exact amount on average but its significant. Then insurance cost. Tire wear...
  15. Poll: Who here is interested in Buying the New Ford EV Midsize Pickup in 2027

    Plug ins are not the answer. WHY? Cost,. Typically 5 grand more. Barely if ever make up that 5 k over a regular hybrid . Then if you do make it up still risk of battery failure over much less dollar regular hybrid battery. Not seeing any pluses. If going to gas station which I barley do as I...

  17. FM radio and Google Maps

    My 2023 XLT hybrid with android phone plugged in with android auto google maps on display plays FM or AM radio no issues. I change channel with steering wheel control. No idea WHY you cant. BUT you can get back to regular ford screen with one of the buttons on bottom of screen. I cant...
  18. I took the Maverick owners survey

    I took the survey too. I just went on and on any where they let me write about the dead 12 volt battery issue . I said let the SOC be higher to get battery to charge up more. I said an AGM battery should ONLY be used no matter what year Mav. Why not let them know what is wrong.
