I like things simple. Basic hard tri-fold does everything I need. For those who live in areas that get ice/snow, a roll up has a lot more crevices for ice jams.

Would depend on how much the loan origination and other fees total. When the loan is paid off, some states require a fee to issue a clean title. After adding up all the fees, if the interest earned after taxes is more than the fees, then maybe finance. Also depends in the marginal incremental...

Congrats on payment free and partly retired. Grew up a farm. Dad and grandpa would say if it's financed you're working for the bank's pocket. None of the vehicles, tractors, equipment was financed. If we couldn't pay cash, keep running the old stuff.

I didn't get 4K. I got the standard receiver to a mount bed extender. My reasons: I can politely decline anyone asking me to tow their boat/RV etc. :sneaky: If ever I needed to tow that much, I'd rent a larger vehicle and tell them to do the same.

This Ford (8N) will be better for the task than any truck. They are a bargain at around $2,000-4,000 Bonus is the font hitch. Back a trailer driving forward.

Spot on. Ford would like every Maverick owner to trade up to a Ranger or F-150 with a higher profit margin.

If the AC drain is clean, it might be the the seal on the windshield. This happened on my daughter's '04 Pontiac.

Next time be sure to hold each quart bottle upside down over the funnel for an hour to get every last drop. :crazy:

Semi-fixed system. Unit on wheels that fits under the work bench with an air line running to the garage. Can disconnect everything and load in the Maverick for off site work. Big enough to handle large impact wrench.

Now that weather is above freezing, I'm getting 32-34 with eco boost combined highway and city. Glad I didn't get a hybrid.

Advantage of a drought is at least it's not snowing. Still sub freezing temps here in the snow zone.

I've started the habit of turning off the radio before turning off the truck. Then it seems to remember where it was. Otherwise its random draw whether it comes up with a radio station, usb or something else.

Extended warranty is essentially an insurance policy. The insurance company always comes out ahead otherwise they wouldn't sell it. Now if you don't have emergency cash to cover a repair then it makes sense. Credit card rates are crazy.

Make spreadsheets. First determine the price you should be paying for the Maverick after discounts taxes etc. Sometimes discounts get "forgotten" in the paperwork shuffle. Sales tax rate is tricky with the variability by county and city but you should be able to get close. Make another with...

Ford leads recalls due to sales volume. VW, Telsa, Stellantis have more recalls per vehicle sold.

Factors to take into consideration: Q1-Q2 2025 sales were inflated due to the stop sales order at the end of 2024. Introduction of Hybrid AWD in 2025 also spiked demand.

This is what I used. If they don't fit then it's likely the issue EFFNO50 said. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09N6SXCGV?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0&th=1

I do the same. Explanation of how it works: https://www.lombardfordprotect.com/delving-deeper/oil-life-monitor.cfm

For quiet, turn off climate control. Open the windows instead.
