I agree and would add that many people, mostly men, want to express their identity via their highway vehicles. I want mine to blend in and be comfortable for the wife.
Practical ways I express myself; Home Improvement, accessorize bikes, custom lawnmowerā¦.
I enjoy driving the Maverick more for local trips and have 3k miles on it
Travel trailer is 3300# loaded for two people, so 5000# rating on v6 Honda gives extra safety margin. We have 20k miles on Ridgeline, including two vacations. Other than more weight it has adult-size back seat. Mav also...
Iām satisfied with Frontier Ford, Anacortes, WA. We had a long wait yet the staff was always polite and helpful. No added dealer markup. We took delivery a week after they had it ready, and we didnāt feel rushed. We got a reasonable offer for badly-worn trade in, they will likely make a few...
We bought our December ā21 order yesterday, with some resistance from Spouse because she would have liked more driver assist stuff.
Due to all the constraints, we didnāt order Co-Pilot ā Hoping to get the Maverick sooner ;-)
We just opted-out and paid MSRP+ tax yesterday.
Sales mgr. said itās another feature that will likely be included within a few years on all new vehicles. Resulting from Lobbyist / Congress pressure to keep adding āsafetyā features.
Agreed..
Also not buying accessory until itās home.
Driving 500 miles to see my Brotherās new home and help with that.
We have a ā22 Ridgeline, but fuel costs less/mile in Maverick
December '21 order
no e-mails from Ford after rollover
March '23 VIN from dealer
just checked online and modules are populated so is WAS built
that was supposed to be last week of march
dealer said not to expect until about now, due to trucking to small town
can't get Ford's status page to...
So it seems that having some detergent gas in the intake might keep valves cleaner.
I read somewhere that some current engines use a combination of throttle body and direct injection. Maybe Ford needs to sell a magic fluid To spray intakes at every oil change.
Also keeps the load firmly in place when cars are chained-down for transport.. Not much chance any Maverick or Bronco will sit in dealer inventory long enough for battery or tires to run Down. In the ā80s it became common for most cars on the lot to have dead batteries.
Interesting comparison. Weāre looking to replace 9y.o. Forrester, that was clearly a great value at the time, wth CX-5 or Maverick. Our Mav is supposed to be assembled late March or early April, about 15 months after ordering. Thereās a terrible shortage of CX-5 and other Mazdas here. We drove...
I retired as rather versatile electrician last year under pressure from spouse who kept reminding me that we have enough. If not for the Boss, Iād like to try other jobs like trucking. Modern āHRā makes this artificially difficult, with their stats on what makes a good ( obedient ) worker...
I was wondering if EB owners with carbon issues are using low-grade gaā¦ My spouse worked for an oil refinery two decades. Their own research said that switching between Chevron and Shell every few tanks kept carbon and varnish to a minimum. Spouse worked for Chevron.
