I also weaned myself off the bad stuff. I reduced my old bad foods to once a week, then once a month. Cheeseburgers (fully loaded) and french fries was my biggest bad meal. Now, maybe once every 4 months I have this meal. I don't crave it, because I actually enjoy the taste of chicken, broccoli...
The trick my diabetic brother is to include the same level of carbs in all 3 meals. Pinto beans works. And believe it or not all types of peanuts you can snack on all day and it will help. Do this for over a 4-6 week period and you will see less spikes in your numbers. And you will not drop to...
Been doing this since my 2015 Prius days. I use a light mixture of orange cleaner and water in a spray bottle and spray over the dirtiest places first, then I use the "spot free" rinse setting to rinse it all off. Don't use the hard power spray option. It could damage the wiring. I clean it...
I owned a 2015 Prius. I told myself I would make my next vehicle a Hybrid. I grew tired of paying $750 to $1,000 per month for gasoline. You can't buy gasoline on sale. You can't buy it in bulk. You can't budget around it. You just pay for it. Now, I might pay $200 per month on a busy month (I...
Due to the rise of gasoline, Hybrid vehicles are more popular now and will continue to grow in popularity. Many of us have seen this before when gasoline prices rise high, economical vehicles become more popular. Problem is, the selling prices of used hybrids is rising. We are ahead of the...
The nauseous video is exhausting. Doesn't anyone shoot a video without the bouncing and paning at break kneck speed anymore? I honestly get sick trying to watch videos like this. As for the truck, it looks good. And the market they are looking to hit will probably like it. I bought the Maverick...
I too, have an XLT. Mine is 2023 Hybrid with what I call the "Blue Jeans" interior. I like it. The seats don't burn my butt from the extreme heat. I've had leather seats for almost 20 years and the cloth seats are a nice change.
Right there with you! For me, the Maverick is a very comfortable ride. I really enjoy driving it! However, I had a 2025 XL Hybrid loaner vehicle issued to me while my truck was getting the updated CV alxes. The seats in that new, 2025 XL were horrible! Felt like they didn't have any cushion...
No issues with my 2023 XLT. And believe me, I have had extreme heat, torrential rain and cold nights over the last 3 years. I see its the 2025-2026 years that this falls into.
How many miles did you have on your truck when it happened? Also, what was the mpg when it happened? Just trying to figure out what would be considered a noticable drop.
Well, the Dealer Villa Ford of Orange got it done in one day! They put the parts on order after verifying the need, and they arrived at 12 noon. By 4:30pm I was good to go. First thing I noticed was the steering and tire traction "grip" is much more solid now! The loaner they provided was a 2025...
