1.) Grew up and have spent most of my life in the rust belt. For 10 years I had a Ford C-Max Hybrid and drove it in Erie, PA, Detroit, Fort Wayne, IN, and Cleveland winters. I would wager those winters are all equal to or more brutal than southern Ohio winters. A good set of winter tires on a...
I didn't realize there was such a discrepancy for what is available in the XLT and Lariat in regards to Co-Pilot features.
I will say that after several thousand miles on the highways in my Lariat with all the CP360 features (adaptive cruise, blind spot, lane keeping, lane centering); I am...
Regular trips to the car wash with underbody spray during the winter months should do a good job of mitigating that during the road salt months (October through... September :ROFLMAO:).
I wanted to buy a quality hard tri-fold, but I also didn't want to invest too much money into accessories on my Maverick in the event Ford does come out with a hybrid (preferably PHEV) Ranger in the next couple years. Once I got closer to my build date I started to monitor prices and I was able...
I am definitely claiming some ignorance on this and I am interested to learn: what made you decide on a separate 5Ghz network for IoT instead of a dedicated 2.4Ghz instead?
For what it's worth, I always have appreciated steering into the skid: I'd be most tempted to find the largest representation of the female anatomy to hang from it and add a little metal plate to the bottom of it so sparks would FLY from it everywhere I went. :ROFLMAO:

I know what my truck is, I know what it isn't. And I also know what it kinda is. And if you can't laugh at yourself and have fun with it, what's the point?

Thank you for sharing all this great information! Interesting to see the difference between towing the vehicle with better aerodynamics and greater weight. Wife and I want a camper in the near future and I am pushing for an A-Liner (hard side pop-up) and she wants a more traditional camper...
Interesting and helpful information that you got over 15mpg with your rig. Makes me wonder how significant of an impact aerodynamics are since the Maverick is significantly shorter than other trucks. I have seen posts on here of people in smaller A-Liners at 1500lbs getting 25mpg. I wonder what...
I would love to get one of the bigger A-Liners that has the collapsing wet bath (LXE, I believe) and hearing you still got 25mpg with yours makes it seem VERY enticing to go the A-Liner route instead of a more traditional camper.
Granted your a-lite is about half the weight as the LXE, but...
@mikeakasully out here doing the Lord's work for all us poor souls with big ape brains and caviar ambitions for our Mavericks. :ROFLMAO: Crossing my fingers you will make enough for one for me as well.
I was a 25 year old kid living in Las Vegas on my own and I kept telling myself that was my chance to get my Mustang or F-150 and really "live" life that way, but I still ultimately convinced myself to make the responsible and reasonable choice then. I would think about the missed chance of...
My MY23 fully-loaded HPR Lariat is about $600 cheaper for MY24, but there are also a couple options/features no longer included (keyless entry keypad, body color mirrors, windshield wiper deicer).
Just sold my 2013 C-Max on Tuesday. Ordered her custom in 2012 and sold her at 149,820 miles. Parting was definitely emotional having that car treat me so well for 11 years (and vice versa). If my wife and I didn't have plans for a camper in the future, I 100% would have been all over a hybrid...
I believe that upcharge is what they were calculating.
I just sold my 2013 C-Max on Tuesday. 149,820 miles and I replaced the factory brakes at ~140,000 miles; the brakes could have gotten another year/10k miles but I didn't want the bad karma of handing off a vehicle that would need immediate...
My car loan last month was 5.4% for 72 months, $500 down and ~775 credit score (no rate difference if I increased my down payment). The dealership offered to match the best outside rate I got (Navy Federal) even though their buy rate from their lender was 5.55%; I told them I would grease the...
