2023 XLT Hybrid Atlas Blue 6 months, 4500 miles. My day job is a lot of WFH and trips around town to clients. I've driven 2 hours away one weekend and I drove from NC to Orlando in December. The rest has been short trips, 75% city.

tl;dr - yes, in theory I live in a large-ish city. I'm a field engineer for an IT Managed Service Provider. Most of my driving use-case in my truck is daily driving around town for on-site visits/installs to clients and errands. Trickle charge overnight would be more than enough for me usual...

For me, my old car did MUCH better on Premium/93 so Costco was great. Decent gas quality, but the same price as local regular. I still use Costco for gas, but the extra mileage I'm getting now means it's easier to plan a gas run around a grocery run. And I can go in the middle of the day during...

I got the letter early this week. The dealership called today to schedule a tech out to my house tomorrow.

Not a huge review, but my Maverick did fantastic on the 9ish hour 1-way drive to Walt Disney World. I don't drive SUPER fast, but at my usual get up and go, I managed an average of just over 35MPG. Which, for a lot of driving around 80mph, I'll heckin take it! The ride was comfortable, too! My...

It's hardly a mod, so far, but I did get a tray that mounts over infotainment screen that included a phone mount. But I'm eyeing things like the hood/tailgate spoilers or a sport bar and a spray-in bedliner. But I did get a Ford FITS compatible trashcan for the back bench and some vinyl decals.

God, I do love my Appalachians.

Now I've only had mine '23 for about a month. So, y'know, barely breaking it in. Immediately, it's more comfortable on a room level than my old Dart. I kinda miss some of the bucketing of that seat design, but I'm not tucked into my driving position like a jacket. Similar cabin cargo...

My username is decades old at this point and is a D&D character I created back in the 90s, one of my favorites I've ever played. But the inspiration for it goes back to a character from JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion and Jonathan Swift, the classical author (Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal)

So first, objectively, I want to try and stay in the bounds of the forum and try not to get TOO explicit with my personal views, etc. Just trying to define what I mean by "post-scarcity" in economic terms. Secondly, I appreciate the civility in return. I'm also glad that at least one person...

Okay, we're strongly off-topic territory. But I wanted to clarify some of what I was saying when it came to housing being post-scarcity. It's not (or at least SIGNIFICANTLY LESS) about someone with a second house. It's about units and houses being intentionally left un-leased to artificially...

Our productivity, especially in the US, is enough that no basic need (housing, food, healthcare) is required to be scarce. If some need is "scarce" or hard to acquire, that scarcity is artificial. Whether by regulation, profit focus, cultural influence, etc etc etc. Even if you step back from...

And that electricity is still less total pollution than an ICE generates. And the electricity is going to be be produced regardless. It's still a net reduction.

Ordered 20 SEP 2022, took delivery 14 OCT 2023! XLT, Atlas Blue, Hybrid

Yikes, my guy.

Only inasmuch as corporations raising prices above and beyond the pace of the Actual Inflation(tm) is the inflation responsible. In the past, when inflation jumped, businesses did not ALSO report record profits. There was a better balance of increasing prices to match the rising cost in goods...

The price of the baseline Maverick XL had jumped from right at 20K for the '22 to right at 24K for the '24 before the strikes started. So we were going to pay more regardless of whether or not the people building it got more pay.

I get paid a salary, not a wage. So my pay is for "40 hours" a week. But if I meet my billables and keep my clients happy and I happen to be _efficient_ often times my work week is around 30 hours of actual work. Sometimes less, sometimes more, especially in emergency situations. The old model...

19. That included the drive to go fill up and back.

Is that hard tri-fold the factory one? Or like it enough? I have the hard tri-fold and I really like the silhouette/look this sportbar gives. I'm willing to work with the gap and a weather-strip like you did if I can get the Keko to fit!
