Ok, now that you have gotten good and helpful answers, I will tell you my reaction when I saw the title of the post: Is the Maverick acting as a booster seat for for another car to sit up at the dinner table? Carry on!

One of my boat/trailer combos is about a thousand pounds, the other is around 665, most of that being the trailer. If I had anywhere to store it, I would consider a teardrop style camping trailer. In the summer my boats take up the whole back driveway. I don’t want to make the place look all...

I think you’re onto something there!

Bump! Still have one wheel and tire remaining, though it’s the one with the leaky valve-stem. Come get it in Robbinsdale, Mn and I can give you an MTC discount on it. Also, I have the original, unused mini-spare. Make me an offer.

A year or so ago, I made an appointment at a different dealer than usual for the “dead maverick syndrome”. When I arrived, they refused to work on the truck if I wasn’t experiencing the problem right then. The service advisor said “You know you didn’t make an appointment with us, right? It’s a...

Showing the legendary towing capacity of the ‘22 XL Hybrid.

In Minnesota. Can’t complain. I have an XL and plug a seat heater/massager into the 12V outlet. My baby lives indoors in a heated garage, so the real test was the first winter at the old job, with an uncovered parking lot. I would use remote start with the seat heater plugged in and on high. It...

Oh yeah it’s a light weight hood. Ever see it ruffle in the wind under the car wash dryer? That was enlightening.

I just got wheels and tires the same size as the originals.

What is “tramline”?

The truck is as sneaky as ever, I don’t think the new tires make any more noise than the contis. I hope the tpms that the shop took off my old tires will work for a while longer. They said they usually last about 7 years.

The shop gave me a socket. I promptly labeled it, put it in a zip bag with the receipt and stowed it in the Big Black Hole under the back seat. It sits next to the jump starter, fire extinguisher and micro-inflator.

Super! Did you experience any difference in noise or gas mileage?

I finally got the fancy wheels I have coveted since I got my Hybrid XL. Selling three of the old steelie wheels (and elderly tires) as well as the unused mini spare that came with it. Head on over to fb marketplace if you are interested.

Fun!

Got about 45k miles out of the Continentals. I had the shop pull off the dinky spare and put the best of the old ones underneath. Pretty Liquid Metal Halo wheels in satin black. Nokian Encompass tyres.

Just what I was thinking!

I never haul stuff that can’t be removed. I also never want to lay on a slushy street to get my tire out from under there. I have considered just keeping the spare in the bed all the time.

Super!
