I took the maverick in on Monday and got it back on Wednesday. I still havenāt put any fuel in it yet. I will tomorrow. Iām driving it up to Indy in a week. I didnāt get the extended warranty and my 3 years was up last month and Iām at 67k milesš.
Last week I was going from Indy to St.Pete and stopped for my last fuel stop. The fuel door refused to open and a message came up on the dash saying it wasn't opening. It finally did so I started fueling. The nozzle shut off in the first 30 sec. and continued to do that several times. I tried...
My budget dictated that I would get an XL. I was on the fence because the "22 XL's had no CC or power mirrors. Both are very important to me, I do a ton of interstate driving and driving at night I need to adjust the mirrors so that I'm not blinded by cars behind me. Once they announced CC was...
It's not really a problem for me but, if my '23 Hybrid had a bigger tank (not sure how much bigger) I could only make 1 fuel stop on my frequent St Pete to Indy trips.

In the last 107 days, I've put 13,100 miles on my truck. I've been very happy with the Contis. At about 10K up in WI., I picked up a nail in the left front. I had it plugged in Iron Mountain MI. Drives like it never happened (for now). ;) Pretty sure I'm gonna blast up to St. Louie and back for...
I'm picking up my XL this Saturday. I chose the XL Hybrid because I'm a cheap bastard and I wanna screw the oil companies out of every dime I can. ;) I think not having power side mirrors will be my only negative.
I bet our trucks are on the same railcar and maybe the same convoy car carrier. See my sig for my details. This past Friday the 14th, Capitol City Ford said they thought it would show up in 3-4 days. I'm flyin up to Indy this coming Saturday to get it!
I hope to pick up my XL hybrid in 2 weeks. Like most old guys my night driving ain't near as easy as it used to be, and I have to aim my side mirrors down so I'm not blinded. I hope all of the good things about my new Mav outweighs this inconvenience.
