with gas prices this low the hybrid is completely unjustifiable imo given its less reliable and less performance, not even to mention higher registration costs i didnt know about, and thousands to replace that battery which is a matter of when, not if, if you keep the car anyway (for compare i...

It's mostly protectionism and environmental regulations that make all vehicles unaffordable. Which is what they wanted they want you to ride a bike or walk better for the planet. The EPA mileage regulations demand 1/3 of vehicles sold be electric by 2030, California banned all new ICE sales by...

allstate is almost always the cheapest. They blew everyone away by like half on my homeowners for 15 yrs. at least in my state of tx. usually you hear they are bad coverage but they gave me a free 7k roof after a hailstorm (yes small house, LCOL, a few yrs ago etc), then lowered my rates...

5k isn't nearly often enough. Oil is cheap a new engine isn't. 3k miles would the absolute max i would go. but ideally 2k or less. dont be lazy.

Replacing a starter no big deal eh? Maybe the tech makes this no longer feasible, but with my prior vehicles any problems so far are at worst $100 part from Oreilly's and a shade tree afternoon. For water pump, alternator, etc. I dont really consider that too major. The last thing on my canyon...

sorry for bump but saw this in my local area on autotrader. dfw area and i searched within 150 miles 22 Mav with 150k miles

First of all, what are you talking about? I specifically said my Canyon has 172k trouble free miles. your 87 ranger was a non-hybrid, so it's reasonable it could make it much farther. your hybrid battery will be replaced 5+ times over a 38 year span from 87. at 10k+ per. if you go on auto...

i thought the 25 is when they started the "fixed" cv axle? (just from reading a few posts here is the only way i know about the problem and supposed fix in the 25). i understand it may not be a huge problem but still...

Yep I saw that same video about frontier! One interesting thing is when I looked into a new engine for my Canyon, just out of curiosity if the engine went if replacement was an option rather than buy a new vehicle, I found a predictable problem, all the motors out there were both expensive and...

Very nice. And you'd think the newer ones have the kinks worked out. Seems like deals I'm seeing are on 24's tho, and the 25's got the new "fixed" cv axle. I'd have to look into that though.

maybe the last part true, but ford warranties the battery exactly as long as they are required to by law lol. 8 years. and, they are only required to replace with same wear. so if your battery goes out in warranty and had 70% capacity left, they can give you a refurb with 70%. most ppl dont...

By the forum complaints i've noticed the hybrid is much less reliable (many fewer hybrids sold, but many more reliability complaints about them) such as cv axle etc. plus it just stands to reason with more complexity. just checked 18k messages on hybrid problems forum 13k on ecoboost forum...

Well like I said 172 and counting on my Canyon. My Dad scoffed when I mentioned I was getting up there in miles. He put over 300k on his Tacoma before selling it still running fine AFAIK. The coworker who bought it parked right across from him every day. I do get your mentality I've heard it...

First, I'm not sure if this is the right forum. Hopefully. I really love the maverick size. and price is nice too. however, i currently drive a 08 gmc canyon 4 cylinder. it has 172k trouble free miles so far and thats basically all city driving (i bought it used in 2013 with 30k miles). well...

Actually I know Boing currently is a laughingstock, but being they make aircraft you better believe they scrutinize the hell out of every part. Per mile flying is almost unbelievably safe, and way way way safer than traveling in a car. Before the recent Long Island crash, their had not been a...

5k for an oil change is way way WAYYY too long. I would do that every 1-2k. You are burning up that motor. Completely change the Transmission fluid every 5k at the latest.

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...

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 :/

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...

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.
