  1. Dealer wants to totally replace the transmission

    definitely not at all. my 08 gmc canyon performs great with 162k miles and no flushes/changes at all. the manual only recommends 1 at 100k miles and thats it. since i missed that one at 100k i just let it go. in fact fluid changes are said to damage high mileage transmissions in some cases. i...
  2. Dealer wants to totally replace the transmission

    i live in texas, it was 110 for a month straight last year, and got down to 0 a couple yrs ago. 162k trouble free miles on my 08 canyon without changing my trans fluid. never will for sure now. these threads make me question getting a mav tho :/
  3. Dealer wants to totally replace the transmission

    is this a serious post... i have 162k trouble free miles on my 08 canyon and never touched trans fluid. i think the manual recommends once at 100k miles then never again. but since i missed that milestone i said heck with it. some people even claim changing the trans fluid after 100k can damage...
  4. GDI Engines Worth It?

    Ignore this NONSENSE. Change the oil no less than every 1k miles IMO. If not more often would be my preference. Your Mav will thank you. It cant hurt I'll put it that way, but it sure can help.
  5. Oil Analysis Report for 2022 Maverick XLT 2.0 EcoBoost w/ tow package and FX4. 5000 miles on truck, 4000 miles on oil.

    you need to go a lot lower than that. with your driving I'd say change the oil every 1k miles at MOST. If it was me I'd say 500. Oil's cheap, your engine isn't. use only snythetic and do it right.
  6. Coming up on First oil change...dealer wants..what? over $200..

    This is of course nonsense. You need to change the oil no less than every 1k miles IMO, forget what the internet told you. If not 500. Oil is cheap, your engine is not. Do it right or dont bother.
  7. This is what’s in store for EV owners [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    thx to your friendly neighborhood politician, you dont get to make that decision bud. They decided EV is for everyone and what you want doesnt matter. Hope that helps. Was just reading a interesting story somewhere. Basically untangling the web of how so many wrecked american teslas end up in...
  8. One year 40K owner's review

    theres a guy at youtube that was at 93k miles, but then again he travels for work. btw his transmission died recently which is pretty concerning. i worry about these cheap trucks and 2023 American woke corporations ability to do anything right tbh. but, who knows tbh. my dad also says todays...
  9. One year 40K owner's review

    like what? i do nothing too my 15 yr old canyon but annual oil changes. maybe i'm supposed to do other stuff i dunno. it runs. trying to think, transmission fluid is a whole can of worms, manual recommended change once at 100k miles and thats it. however i missed that and truck is now at 160k...
  10. This is NOT a small truck!

    this is because of the epa environmental regulations. the gubbt screws everything up. but basically mpg requirements get a break with a larger footprint. thats why the mav is big and small single cab trucks stopped existing. and also why the new ram in south america and other small...
  11. 2024 Maverick Build and Price is LIVE!

    another way automakers are raising prices. they purposefully short build lower priced models. meh, if i order it'll be a xl and if i dont get it i dont care that much, lots of fish (trucks) in the sea. unlike usually when the media lies and says inflation is lowering, in used vehicle case it...
  12. Has Ford "Solved" the Maverick Demand Problem with Higher Pricing?

    lol if it has cupholders it's the lap of luxury to me. i drive a 08 canyon. the windows roll down with a crank. i always spec out the xl trim, AWD, and add nothing. that would probably feel like a rolls royce to me. i used to add the bed extender on my wish (so far) builds cause i thought it...
  13. 2024 Maverick Build and Price is LIVE!

    speculation i've seen suggests will start at 60k. still a bargain vs ford lightning. was originally claimed to start at 39,995. lol at that now a few years later. good joke. btw most of the mid size afaik are undergoing new revamps. this seems to result in short supply, jacked prices etc at...

    federal minimum wage is 7.25 though if you're comparing apples to apples
  15. 2024 Maverick Build and Price is LIVE!

    Also for price kvetchers, I get it but compare it to any other mid size trucks (I get there arent any other mini trucks except the santa fe, which IMO is just too ugly to consider, and also more expensive proving my point) My build is a basic as possible XL, Ecoboost, AWD. Comes to just over...
  16. 2024 Maverick Build and Price is LIVE!

    it is compared to everything else, and just wait till trucks are electric required by law. they will start at 60k, if you are lucky (rumored starting price of cybertruck, ford lightning 80k+ etc)
  17. How are you paying for Maverick?

    You aren't getting a SAFE 8% though, that would be speculative market returns and in any given 5 year period there's no telling. Best you're doing safely right now is a little over 5%. I'm not sure current car loan rates but I believe 7+%. Basically that sounds not worth the trouble over a...
  18. Best guess at # of 2024 Maverick orders Ford will receive in July & how long order bank will stay open?

    why did you directly not answer his question? can you order online or do you have to go to a dealer?
  19. 📣 2024 Maverick ordering & changes info! Price increases, new Terrain & Azure Gray colors, product changes, etc.

    my favorite part (i dont own a mav, from pics) is how much more room it gives you. one thing i hate is coming from some old style tiny pickups, such as my current single cab 08 gmc canyon, they actually feel roomier because of the roomy bench seats. yet often a ranger or a colorado thats...
