My used Ranger had a drop-in and received a small puncture hole from loading bricks, lumber, etc and eventually started rusting since I could not see the water underneath. If I hauled lots of sharp items (like gravel, bricks, landscaping stuff) I'd get a Spray-in ($550). If I was only going to...

I use the Foam Soap applied with a bottle sprayer, but would never use a pressure sprayer. Pressure sprayers tend pressure spray off any wax or ceramic coatings. I use a very soft mitten.

Professional level CarPro Ceramic coating -$120 a bottle/lasts about 5 years. - 8 hours of labor/do-it-yourself. Still looks like the day I picked it up. Dirt falls off the paint.

The point was so many glued components are not flexible, whole assemblies have to be ripped out since so many components are glued on...neighbor has a Hyundai with a slight steer wheel wiggle/recall and the entire steering wheel had to be replaced since everything is glued together, verses...

I've been through 4 automotive assembly plant tours...and you can see the evolution of new cars have so many plastic components that are glued on (versus welded) and makes them very difficult to repair....causing repairs to go thru the roof....I'm sure most on this site see rear-end crashes that...

I agree...but I drive from Atlanta to Oregon (4,500-5,500 miles) almost every year and cover many remote dirt roads for 40-70 miles where there is no electric charging available...those little trips are the only thing keeping me from full-electric. Next door neighbor is on his 3rd Electric Leaf...

Would never have another vehicle without CARPLAY, or something comparable. Play music from Flash Drive or Iphone.... The one feature about the Maverick I've never heard anyone mentions are the 3 dash vents. In 90 degree temperatures I can adjust/open the vents in the right direction and they...

Wow- Chama is one of my favorite places on earth, but preferable in the Winter snow. At least 20, 30, 40 thousand ELK migrate across the Chama range every year. Amazing elk population. This is the reason Ted Turner has 20,000 acres east of Chama. And Ship Rock is a place that is hidden, so...

One of my local Ford Dealerships (claims to be largest Ford dealer in the nation) has a TV ad stating that they have 30+ on-site service trucks. I'm wondering how they change the oil filter and take off the oil cover without lifting the vehicle. I’d never do a change without new filter. I'm not...

Well described - have had a number of Turbo charged sports cars but my wife's Tesla will leave my EcoBoost standing at the start line. But my cross-country trips make my Maverick Hybrid the perfect vehicle, averaging 42.X MPG.

They did not retain our license but probably made the threat because we were 50 feet from the Geogia state line….But many state traffic offense like drunk driving can get your drivers license taken away. This state patrolman was totally reasonable and polite, cooperative. Legally he could have...

You are correct...so many comments in this threat that are off the wall & misinformed. Unfortunately, the penalties occur when there's an accident where someone gets hurt or an innocent person is killed.

You must stop at an open interstate weigh station if you are driving a commercial motor vehicle (like a semi-truck, box van, or 6+wheel truck) that weighs more than 10,000 pounds. Commercial vehicles are supposed to have their DOD placard attached visibly on the side window glass. State...

Ran across this fellow in Kentucky...he held up traffic for hours arguing with police that he knew what he was doing and dared any Cop to point out anything not safe..."I don't need no stinking commercial license for this load." "That's a top of the line Class 2 Hitch." The hours of delay was...

Not intended to continue an argument...but I have been ticketed for this. As mentioned above I retired early and needed something to do. The below is directly out of a state's non commercial Driver's License manual....and I won't respond to the below, just what I experienced, not an argument...

Had a Ford Ranger 3rd Generation 6 cylinder (purchased from my Dad's estate), for 10 yrs and really liked it but it sure liked new clutches. Not sure of years/generations but Mazda and Ford co-produced the Ranger in the same plant the Maverick is built in Mexico today. Mazda was selling them...

This is the reason commercial insurance & commercial drivers are required by law to keep an hourly log of driving.

You are correct...to do my little commercial trucking job I drove in 49 states and I had to get a Commercial License (CDL) for all states....there are a few legal differences by state and I typically found them out at weight-stations. And having Commercial Insurance does not make one a...

I'll just add - I retired at 52 yrs old from the software industry. After a year of boredom, went to work doing commercial size truck deliveries....for a small company....I delivered to all states (except Hawaii)....thoroughly enjoyed the part-time job....a trip once or twice a month....But the...

The interior air vent significantly keeps the inside windshield cleaner/clearer. I had fits keeping interior windshield glass clean until I discovered changing the interior air vent significantly help keep windshield clean.
