I have both.. if I am careful around town they get the same mileage. On the road 43 maverick, 50 camry ,both hybirds.The maverick is so much easier to get in and out of ..by alot . If your a commuting alot maybe camry works better ,general versatility ,maverick is better especially when it...
On CV joints failing.. where do they fail ,inboard or outer ? Is it problem leaking grease or they were assembled dry at the factory .? Is it a boot or clamps failure, or soft ,incorrect heat treated metal failure ? Maybe we can fix these before they go bad . It would sure be cheaper
There is definitely a problem with the windshields on these trucks. When you have 2 pieces of glass only 1/16 inch thick, sandwiched between a paper thin sheet of clear plastic ,it's just not strong enough . If everyone with a broken windshield contacted NHTSA with this issue ,they would do...
Our windshields are only about 1/8 inch thick and that is the problem period ! Too thin ,anything will crack these . Look yourself, where windshield ends and w/s pillar begins. THIS is a design flaw and should be Recalled, it is absolutely safety hazard. I've been a body man for 30 years...
Shutters are very important for good mileage .I have a Prius as well ,on Prius chat it was common to put pool noodles in the grill to retain heat . I dont believe Shutters on Mavs are for aerodynamics ,tho it could maybe help. When the TSB from Ford to break two shutters out(REALLY DUMB) to...
Windshields are too thin ,only about an 1/8 inch thick ,ya really . Go look ! two super thin pieces of glass and clear plastic in between .I'm surprised bugs dont crack it . Ford should recall these and put in thicker windshields . Seems more and more Mav owners having this problem & just going...
Ha Ha ya so when its said and done .... Whats a new truck going to cost ? The percent of the total settlement added to the cost of the truck. You thought they were expensive before just wait . Mavs are popular because they were cheap ... that may be history soon................
Mavericks windshields are thin ,go look at the edge on the Mav....I have done body work for 40 years ...they are the thinnest windshields I have seen .Looks like 1/8 inch total ,now when you figure a layer of clear plastic between the two sheets of glass ,I think bugs will cause chips ..ha
I'm in Idaho where they salt the roads .So where the edge rubs it will take off the paint like so many mud flap stories/posts, right to the metal. Rust will be an issue . No ,I wont take them off, but rust creeps everywhere.
Going to install my Mabetts soon . I am concerned the hard plastic edge on the flair will wear off the paint where it meets the fender (it will ,hard plastic against paint). Their 2 sided tape does not stick out as far as the plastic lip. sooo I got some tape adhesion primer and some 3M 1/2 in...
