Big qualifier of selecting a tonneau cover is if Maverick is stored in a garage or not.....Mine is in a garage and has had minimal wear and abuse so I'd never need a high-end quality. My $320 foldup still looks like the day I bought it......never ever leaked but dust does get in on dirt roads.
Some drivers seeing your high beams on during daylight, may flash their lights at you to let you know your "high beams" are ON.
I too don't see a need for high beams during daylight!
My post was about those under construction when that law passed to ban windmills....1000's of windmills were under construction when the law passed so the Federal Government (tax payers) were stuck with taking them down and or paying for those in route. The law banning windmills was a fricking...
That is what happens when crooked, greedy politicians muck up the system. Currently there are roughly 200,000 EV charging stations in the US, 125,000 gas pumps in the US...The reason people tend to not believe it, is so many EV charging stations have a small footprint...Most of our Target...
Great adventure...have done it twice and would love to do it again. We did it once on motorcycles and once in a motor home. An important stop is Whitehorse...big city halfway to AK with a Walmart.
Assume you are doing some camping, etc. Alaskan Highway has camping places about every 250-350...
Not on my insurance: Cut and paste from my policy -
"Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage pays for your medical bills, car repairs, and other losses if an at-fault driver has no auto insurance or if you are in a hit-and-run crash."
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...
