    Hey MTC, I have a 2022 EB AWD with 4k towing. I installed a pair of oil catch cans according to the Cuban Redneck DIY Guide (great info FYI).

  6. Exceeding Tongue Weight

    Hey MTC, First, I want to say that it's never a good idea to exceed manufacturer ratings. These are made by engineers through serious testing, many of them written in blood, keep you/others safe on the road, and limits personal liability. That being said, how important is tongue weight, and...

    Hey MTC, I just installed the Steeda rear anti-sway bar (link to product) on my 22 AWD Maverick.

  10. Change your PTU (Power Transfer Unit) / RDU (Rear Drive Unit) OIL!

    Hey MTC, There are a number of posts on here about the poor PTU/RDU fluids & wear from the factory and I wanted to add some fuel to the flame. I changed mine at ~13,000 miles and it was not in good shape (see pictures below). The PTU definitely seemed underfilled, had metallic debris, and a ton...
  11. Will it Tow?! (or kill me/the Mav!)

    Hey MTC! I've had my EB AWD 4k Lariat for about 18 months and love it! I'm looking to buy a travel trailer and want to make sure I'm not going to kill the truck (it's my first trailer.
