Break in I did my first at 1000

I would just change the oil at the same time you always do. if thats 5K or 7k or 10k I would do the same. I don't want to get into how many miles.Just what ever you would normally on a plain gas car.

If you haven't seen it Tire rack has a little video review on them on there site. Looks like a aggressive tread.

I got a text from one of the dealers around me I cant remember which one. Had a lariat hybrid at sticker but it was in the 34K range But that was the sticker on it as they texted me the window sticker. So it does happen. I already have a 2023 hybrid xlt.

I cant say if this is still true. BUT back in my day 80's to about 2000 the dealer mechanic was flat rate. They didn't pay very well via flat rate on searching for a problem. Fixing it sure. BUT looking not so much. Could be part of it. In any case any that do get fixed letting us know what it...

Now that may solve the problem BUT it shouldn't be needed. For me to run a extension cord and battery maintainer would be a major head ache. In the winter really not doable . So far no issue. I let the mav sit for a week when I had nasty cold a few weeks ago and dome light didn't work when I...

I noticed a few here said they had the problem but its fixed now. BUT not saying what was fixed? That would be helpful. So if you did have this problem and not anymore. What was fixed? So far mines been okay BUT only 3400 miles. If it happens I would like to know what the general fix is...

I pay a lot of attention towards headlights. My last car a Ecosport headlights sucked. I installed after market bulbs in that which were more white and adjusted them slightly higher which made them OKAY. on low but high beams were a little to high BUT that is what I lived with. Maverick the...

I think he is referring to the OP fact is NOT driving a hybrid but a regular gas that has no regen braking so it doesn't apply to the OP problem. Putting in anything about hybrid is another subject to the thread.

Your showing your age. Bearing and repacking of bearings (grease) isn't done on new cars. No cotter pins. But it brought back memories of old car brakes. Like my 1976 Pontiac Trans am. Yep repack wheal bearings install new cotter pins. But yea 800 is crazy high. Even at the dealer seems way...

Just so you know all of the cheap tri fold hard cover the last panel never folds up against rear window killing off a lot of space in the bed. YES you can remove the whole cover when you need the space but what a PITA. The only one I know of that can fold all panels and is about 500 is made in...

I have to laugh at the 800 per axle. When I worked at dealer brake jobs were called Gravy work. Paid a lot. Drive like a nut like my bother he wears his out fast too. Lucky he only drives 5 k a year . They offer better alloy rotors after market that wont rust as much. I would go that route...

I stole one of your pictures just to point out where the sheet metal plate/cover would go if one were to install one.

Easier to remove cubby cover on in side of bed and look down at least on my xlt version nothing installed (inverter plug) on left cubby whole just a platic plate 4 screws . If you want to say spray rust proofing that is the easy way to gain access to the area. Maybe not if you have optional...

There is a youtube video of an actual test. They have a suv have all season then all weather then snow tires. They go 30 mph and see how long to stop on snow road. The all weather were quote a bit shorter the snows were best BUT not a huge differ acne to all weather. Articles are all fine BUT...

There is a video on youtube ., I don't have the link but do a search its up their.

Yes if you go to this thread about the 11 th post down there is a drawing with dimensions . I used cardboard made that then test fitted and changed it some then once i had it right cut it out of galvanized sheet metal I had already,. Then two coats of rustoleum paint installed them Fluid Film...

Not really. Best is sheet metal blocker. I did look into plastic but just wouldn't work well as I gave mine a little bend to it. But again only an issue in snow belt with salt. I mean mud could get up their too I guess.

Well what do you know on steep downhill it finally did rev engine a little bit. If I had radio on I never would have noticed. No big deal.

Wow great design. Very clever. Nice
