That is not on the 24’s as you say, and the reason for the deactivation is, you would not get a indication if someone is beside the trailer but not up to your rear bumper, which would be quite dangerous if you depended on the BLIS.

Goodrich tires are US made. Big plant outside of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

My bed has many things that remain in it--more tools that can fit under the seat: tow straps, tie downs, boots and gloves, spare clothes in case I get caught in the rain, a golf umbrella, an air compressor, etc. To keep these all corralled, I found the space around the wheel wells was pretty...

Definitely good. Several neighbors work there and they are hiring

BF Goodrich tires are made in the US although owned by Michelin. They are significantly expanding their plant near Fort Wayne, IN now.

In many states, even a 2K trailer is required to have brakes which requires a controller being added

4K can likely be safely towed with any Maverick, but certain tests must be passed to advertise it. To achieve a 2K or 4K tow rating, there is a series of tests prescribed by SAE J2807 (google it if you want all the details). This includes being able to climb the Davis Dam Road in AZ...

Even though Ford might have been able to stuff the radiator and cooler inside the Tremor bumper, there is a good chance it might not have passed the cooling test of pulling that long grade in AZ fully loaded at 110 degrees. The parts may be there, but without proper air flow they may not...

I wouldn’t expect this to be a problem on a new truck, but I found after I filled the washer was plain water. I started getting the low light on until I filled it with real washer fluid. Apparently plain water does not conduct enough electricity for the sensor to operate properly.

No, your calculations are unweighted. The towing trip used almost 2.5x as much fuel and should receive 2.5x the weight. The total trip used 97 gallons in 2273 miles. How is that not 23.4 mpg?

Matmondro's analysis is the correct way to analyze it. A simple average of the mph numbers does not take into account the greater amount of gasoline used in the towing trip.

My vote is for something on the side, doesn’t have to be the decal if you find some striping you like. I thought ceramic coating on mine was one of my better investments. It stays much cleaner, particularly with a little rain to rinse it off.

On the 2024, the trailer light check is one of the screens that can be selected on the dash display, don't know about the later ones. It does not appear on my Ford pass.

I have one from Truck2go (who no longer appears to be in business) that has locking latches at each corner (which can be an annoyance at times). I’d think the design is still available from someone.

I've known some that were geezers at 45. Others in their 80s were not. It's mostly in the mind.

Are there lower tariffs on vehicles from Mexico? I don't know, but when the tariffs were thrown out, I think I read the tariffs that affected our Mavs were under a different program and still in effect. Who can keep track anyway?

Without the front axles turning when on a dolly, the bearings for the rear output shaft may not receive the lubrication needed. This is the case in a 4WD with a Dana 20 transfer case. The bearing for the rear output shaft is above the lube level and depends on oil thrown up by the front...

My 24 EB has acted the same way since new and with a replacement battery. If the Mav isn't driven enough or sets for a weekend, the battery's state of charge drops below the level needed for the Auto Stop to work and mine will not recharge it enough to operate even after a 250 mile trip. I've...

I’ve often heard that if you get answers in a situation like this, the guy knows nothing about it and wants to look important or else he’d be giving only vague answers to keep his job.
