  1. Tire rotation question.

    Have you visited their bathroom ?
  2. Tire rotation question.

    Straight front to rear and rear to front always for all my vehicles. Tires like to continue to turn in the same direction for their lifetime. I'm a retired auto tech. I do not believe that shit they put in books. If they must rotate my tires, I request that I watch them, but usually do it...
  3. Keep 23 maverick another yr. or order a 26. Differential cost. Warranty etc

    I got excited about the Maverick in 2022. Eventually bought two, one a hybrid and the other an EcoBoost awd to try both types. Eventually sold off the EcoBoost and now keep the hybrid in the garage off the road. I'm driving my 2015 Scion FRS aka BRZ which I've owned for 11 years now. I'd have...
  4. Ford Needs to Give the Ford Maverick XLT the Adaptive Cruise Control

    Sorry but I don't follow, I'm a leader.
  5. Reasonable price for tint?

    In Texas, front door glass tinting is legal as long as the tint allows more than 25% of the visible light to pass through. This means the tint on the front side windows cannot be darker than 25% Visible Light Transmission And completely and totally illegal where I live in Cali.
  6. JD Powers says the Santa Cruz is the #1 "midsize" truck?

    In summary, while J.D. Power promotes itself as an unbiased source of consumer insights, the company's business model, particularly its paid consulting services and licensing of awards, raises questions about potential bias and the reliability of its rankings. It's recommended to consider J.D...
  7. Is this another recall? Engine failure

    I have successfully ignored all the recalls for the 2022 hyrid, with the exception of the ones which they'll do by coming to my location and doing software. The actual recall for engine oil leaking is a band-aid fix which I will not allow them to do. They seem to have no fix for grabbing...
  8. IS the Lariat worth the extra money?

    It has been this way for a million years. Same thing with Mustang and many other vehicles. power passenger seat seldom cared about by buyers and it costs a bundle to produce. An additional cost option on many cars that I know of. I am 78yo. My father ordered new high end cars often, so I...
  9. IS the Lariat worth the extra money?

    I bought two mavericks being excited when they came out. Stupid move that was. One is a fwd hybrid and the other was a awd Ecoboost, both XLT models ( what most people purchase). I wanted to try both, each with totally different options. Since they were 2022 models, much cheaper new than now...
  10. IS the Lariat worth the extra money?

    yes insurance is currently outrageous. I had three vehicles and sold one due to high insurance and now a second one is 'off the road' but I currently keep it. If you can afford it, keep the old car and maybe remove it's collision insurance as that portion is the biggest expense...even raising...
  11. IS the Lariat worth the extra money?

    LOL.. Yes, forgot to state that. Speeding keeps me awake, being in front keeps me awake, less likely to fade off. Now if the cops would just believe this. I have once driven that blue car top speed, goes 142 tops. Don't tell the cops though.
  12. IS the Lariat worth the extra money?

    thankfully my youngest son is a coder, otherwise I'd have no help with my compute machine issues. LOL. I do spend my entire days on a desktop compute machine. For driving I pride myself, as always on paying attention to the road. In high school I took driver's ed just because it was...
  13. IS the Lariat worth the extra money?

    LOL. Im 78 yo. I don't even know what a sync is. That screen in the center of my dash is usually turned to black. I have no use for adaptive cruise control as I NEVER follow any other vehicle I lead !....well they say it is helpful in very bad traffic.
  14. Maverick Wiper Cold Weather Performance ... What is the problem?

    Lived in Paul Smiths and Saranac Lake, Ny back in 67-68. No salt used there. sometimes about the same temps you mention. Lived off campus and late to drive the 3 miles to class, would barely warm the car. If I could see through the w/s (frost on inside of w/s) with an open spot the size of a...
  15. Maverick Wiper Cold Weather Performance ... What is the problem?

    but you'd have to pull over and do that operation, very annoying in salted street and slush and traffic times. Me 78yo, been there done it all and in different states and climates. the near freezing weather, yet not really cold is the worst. Way below zero much better.
  16. Maverick Wiper Cold Weather Performance ... What is the problem?

    your winters are most likely drier than in the midwest and northeast. I have experienced the top left of w/s freezing up while living in western New York State, owning two 2005 Ford Mustangs. It is very annoying having to pull over, get out, and flick the wipers for the driver to be able to...
  17. IS the Lariat worth the extra money?

    Ford wants your money. the Lariat is a total waste of yours. The black appearance pkg is even more of a total waste. Think interiors, does it cost the manufacturer more money to make the seats fake leather, black vinyl, or cloth. Cost is all the same yet they charge more for some. Buy only...
  18. Maverick Wiper Cold Weather Performance ... What is the problem?

    I've had the same problem on cars in the past. The only solution would be for the manufacturer to put heating wires in the top left of w/s. They are too cheap to do so. And naturally, Ford is the cheapest of all... I believe this has to do with the ambient temperature. If the air were colder...
  19. Battery Recall for '22-'23 Non Hybrid Mavericks

    So odd, despite the vehicles having been made in Hermosillo,Mexico, and that almost all vehicle batteries imported to USA are Made in Mexico. (Too many rules to make batteries in USA any more.)
  20. Battery Recall for '22-'23 Non Hybrid Mavericks

    Are you referring to that vehicle manufacturing company which for years has advertised: 'Quantity is Job One' ? Now that Trump is sending immigrants back to Mexico, Central America and South America, there will be more workers to make those new batteries for Ford.
