  1. How long do you plan to keep your Maverick?

    I had planned to keep my Maverick till. Well till happened after four months and nineteen days after I got it. My dealer offered me five thousand dollars over my purchase price. Six if I traded it in. Drove home that day with a brand new Bronco Sport. Hot Pepper Red and a much lower payment...
  2. What MPG are owners getting with 2.0L EcoBoost AWD 4K Tow?

    I have seen as low as 17 mpg and as high as 31 . I also have FX4 package and bed cover. Son was using a lot when it got 17.
  3. Offered a Free Maintenance Plan -- anyone else?

  4. Best accessory/mod under $100?

    Only difference I noticed was the label.
  5. AC turns on automatically every time I start my mav?

    This is an honest question. At one time it was said use AC vs rolling down windows. The weight of the AC equipment created less of a fuel penalty than disturbing the air flow. I let my Maverick decide what to do. I set it on auto at 70 to 72. One less thing to do.
  6. AC turns on automatically every time I start my mav?

    Skunks, dust and smoke.
  7. What essential staple items do you keep in your Maverick?

  8. Dealer says Ford was not accepting Lux Package or CoPilot360 Orders

  9. Insane offer from Carvana.

    Don't do much capital gain taxes do you. ? I have a 1971 SS 396 Chevelle to sell, never been driven. Think I am going to sell it for less than sticker? That would qualify for capital gain tax. Bought as an investment not personal use.
  10. Insane offer from Carvana.

    Personal use property is not subject to tax. You buy stock and make money you report a gain, you lose money you may have a deductible loss.(there are more to it than that). Buy a collectable auto and then sell it you can have a gain or loss. Not a personal use auto.
  11. Insane offer from Carvana.

    Capital gains are on investments not personal purchases. Unless they bought it as an investment. Mavericks are not investment quality. Especially since it was bought to drive. Unless things have changed since I was in the IRS.
  12. Insane offer from Carvana.

    A vehicle used for personal use is not subject capital gains. Do you take a loss when you lose money?
  13. 87 Octane?

    Thanks for the reply.
  14. 87 Octane?

    Great explanation. But, I have one question. Why is it recommended to use a higher octane when towing?
  15. 87 Octane?

    If you are happy go far it. If your two liter puts out over 300 hp then you need a higher octane than 87. Otherwise you are doing what you feel comfortable. So be happy and enjoy life.
  16. 87 Octane?

    100+ is for drag racing or pure ethanol. Part of his problem maybe as stated it could be bad gas. Ethanol absorbs water. There are additives that will take water out. Ethanol boosts octane.
  17. Curb, meet Wheels. Seeking two FX4 black wheels.

    There are businesses that repair wheels.
  18. Truck has been with the dealership for a month for the airbag recall

    Are you people getting loaners? I would especially if it is going to take more than a day.
  19. Had an oil change done at the dealership today and they didn't mention the airbag recall. Is this normal?

    Making the customer happy should be worth it. Or making the customer informed at least.
  20. Had an oil change done at the dealership today and they didn't mention the airbag recall. Is this normal?

    They know you have been notified and probably expect you to follow the instructions in the letter. Call and schedule if that is what the letter says.
