  1. Theory why Mavericks get rear-ended so much

    Says the guy interacting on a screen 🤣 . Just ribbing you Craig. Hopefully you aren't driving right now 😄
  2. Tailgate spoiler

    It will support 25 sheets of 3/4 plywood but the cables holding the tailgate at mid-point won't :wink:
  3. Is The Maverick A Good Buy? Getting Cold Feet

    I found pieces of glass bottles, half of a golf ball, pieces of 2 x 4, rocks, and half a brick in the Lowe's mulch. I bought the black and the first rain it was all gray or natural color. I attempted to get them to honor the 12 month color guarantee. They said I would have to "prove" that was...
  4. Is The Maverick A Good Buy? Getting Cold Feet

    Nope, and he would have been offended if I had. BTW my fiance is 76 also but I wouldn't let her unload mulch at all.
  5. Blackstone Labs Oil Analysis Comparison at 10k Miles

    This is just to FYI not to argue. But I recall (pun intended) recalls in the 70s and 80s. AI Overview Ford Motor Company had the most significant, high-volume recalls in the 1970s and 1980s, primarily driven by the massive 1981 recall of 21 million vehicles. This 1981 action addressed a...
  6. Is The Maverick A Good Buy? Getting Cold Feet

    I didn't snap a picture but I hauled the 20 bags of 1.5 cu/ft and closed my hard cover over it, 😄 . I don't like to drive with it flipped up and didn't feel like removing it although it is easy to do. Plus The Home Depot is less than a mile as the crow flies from my house so 2 trips is no big...
  7. Is The Maverick A Good Buy? Getting Cold Feet

    My 76 y.o. neighbor was unloading bags of mulch from his Colorado. I had walked out to the mail box so walked over to chat. He asked if I had trouble climbing up to unload my Maverick. I said NOPE, don't climb up. I can load bags of mulch and unload by reaching over the sides or drag them to the...
  8. Synthetic Oil (Hybrid Maverick)

    If an engine dies in the first 5k it is an anomaly not an oil change issue. This is your quote " I changed the (conventional) oil roughly every 3000 miles. No engine work ever, aside from spark plugs, new alternator and radiator which got punctured. Made it to 222,000 miles ". Since you don't...
  9. Insurance rates

    Here is why it matters in my area. I know someone who claimed his vehicles were "garaged" in a lower personal property location next door neighbor), also for insurance rates which were lower. He was charged with tax and insurance fraud when they caught him. Key Aspects of "Garaged" in...
  10. Huge Insurance increase

    But the deer was cited for causing the accident. The judge gave it the death penalty 🤣
  11. Oil life monitor

    Short, low speed driving actually shortens oil life per the monitor. I don;t stress out about getting it done exactly at 5k miles. I do like @Hot Runr Guy because it is easy to remeber, plus the OLM is hidden in a menu on the Maverick. But I checked it when I went to the dealer, yes gasp...
  12. Two Year Review: 2024 Maverick XL

    I'm perplexed. You disconnected the BMS wire so you wouldn't have to push the button to disable Auto stop each time but now you have to push OK each time. I think I will just use the bypass button and let the BMS do it's job. Glad you are liking it 2 years in. Today is 1 year for me with 7700...
  13. Huge Insurance increase

    Lots of factors involved. 1. the company, the advertised cheapos on TV don't value long time customers and raise rates. 2. exact same options? NO hybrid was higher when I priced a year ago. Many will argue that my insurance is a rip off but I disagree. Simple economics of insurance, they look...
  14. Introducing the RealTruck Universal Blinker Fluid Refill Kit 🔧

    Will this work with LASFIT led replacements? 😉
  15. Replacing my Rav4 hybrid with a Maverick hybrid - I'm not sure what to do

    Have you consulted the cat about it's preference? It may be a SUV cat.
  16. Carvana Used Maverick Trade In Values are NUTS!

    Retired and drive it almost every day. 7700 miles, will be 1 year old on April 3. Previous 2 vehicles were out of 36k warranty within 9 months.
  17. Roof bars or bed cross bars?

    Due to the penny shortage and discontinuance of productions all OPINIONS now cost 5 cents, thank you for you cooperation and using the exact change 😂
  18. Carvana Used Maverick Trade In Values are NUTS!

    Just checked with Carvanna. My 2024 EB Lariat, 7700 miles they came back with 31,600.
  19. 👉🏻UPDATE👇🏻 Ford uses Torx PLUS ++ Here is the Difference

    Not necessarily. I have a Ryobi BT3000 table saw that is 25 years old. I needed to replace the blade. It came with special made wrenches for the task because you can't get a standard open end wrench in to hold the shaft of the motor or to loosen the nut with out major disassembly. I moved 2...
