Hillbilly posted his Maverick along with a pic of the standard-size Hot Wheels Maverick. My OCD has been bugging me, here is his truck next to a Hot Wheels XL Maverick still in the pack. Love that blue on his truck!!
A few months ago I was at my friendly big box store and passed by the section with the temperature and weather instruments they have for homes. Was looking at them and got an idea. I bought their cheapest package, made by LaCrosse, which has a small display unit to show indoor and outdoor...
Honestly the Slate with this particular squared-off cap reminds me of a slightly stretched Bronco II.
What would be neat (I think) is if Slate offered some sort of "Bronco II Tribute" wrap that gave it a two-tone scheme like the old Bronco II's (copyright stuff, if any, notwithstanding)...
There also was this video from Sandy Munro's group a few years ago, where they put the Maverick in the air and examined the underbody. This is the one I thought of when you mentioned a video talking about the Maverick's underside.
With this talk of "F" names, I'm surprised no one took the old Courier name and replaced the first letter with "F", giving you...the Ford Fourier. Because it's a truck that will transform you!
Sorry...I'll see myself out.
If there's a good thing about the article (which I didn't read) it's that it sparked this discussion, with the pretty overwhelmingly positive responses from Mav hybrid owners describing their situations, and that is much appreciated. "If I knew then what I knew now" when I bought my truck, I...
I like the design, assuming the AI render is halfway close. Might even consider one down the road. Honestly I thought of Taz after seeing that front end treatment. Not that that's a bad thing.
Earlier this week installed a 12v power plug and voltage meter I got on Amazon into one of the rear bed plastic panels. Had to buy the Maverick converter cable as I got my truck used and it didn't come with one. Drilled two pilot holes then used a step drill bit to widen the holes till both...
Renault is now doing a remanufacturing process in Europe, here is their web site explaining it:

I'm not sure a process like this would work in the US though, with our mix of corporate profit-making and government politics that seems different...
But did he have the Gremlin "Levi's Edition"? The best way to buy a Gremlin! I remember seeing one at our AMC dealer as a kid when Mom was taking her Matador in to get serviced.
Maybe Mabbett could make some denim seat covers for the Maverick...a "Levi's Edition" Mav would be interesting.
A couple years ago our church had a "remove the pews" day, as they replaced the pews with chairs that locked together and were more modular. Used the Mav to bring home one of the short ones. It had no problem doing so, the small ones weighed probably between 100-200 pounds.
There were also...
I carry paper towels and a bottle of Windex or equivalent in the truck. After a long drive during bug season I will spray down the windshield and wipe off with said towels; then with the residual wetness on the towels wipe off the bugs from the hood and lower lip, mirrors and other major areas...
Motor Trend published an article a few days ago about touring the Ford EV center where the "Ranchero" is being built, and talking with the designers, etc. As part of the tour Ford gave them a 3D printed model of some of the truck components, that was not to scale but "directional only" (their...
