Not sure where you're getting your "news", but VW got slapped because they were putting illegal software into their diesel cars to generate less emissions when the car was being tested and then switch to more emissions (but higher mpg) the rest of the time.

I read a post somewhere that claimed all these nagging screens are taken into account by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety as making the vehicle safer and therefore it gets a higher ranking which is a sales aid.

Well that's disappointing to know I have to shell out $250-$400 5 years from now to get my keypad back. I wonder if this is something a good locksmith can do? The whole, "job takes 5 min but I'm charging an hour" irks me. There's a youtube video where the guy planted cameras in his car for a...

Watched a youtube video where they were comparing the DD hitchmount vs Baja Designs and measured the output of both. While the execution of the DD is very nice I don't feel like it puts out enough light for what they're charging. The spread was nice but the overall lighting was eclipsed by a...

Don't own one, but that's a pretty good price for a retractable. And that canister looks surprisingly small.

It should turn off the instant you lock the truck, otherwise it should time out with the rest of your lights. Are you leaving it unlocked? If you only want it to come on when you say so, I don't see anything in the manual to indicate this is an option. Perhaps it's something you can control via...

So the keypad is wireless? The manual makes no mention of a battery for it.

If only people used "off road only" products only off road.

I put a tonneau cover and bed rails on the truck last weekend. I got the Agricover Access tonnosport and DeeZee cross bed rails. The cover came straight from Agricover and the bed rails via Amazon (Dee Zee DZ99781TB Universal Cross Rail). The DeeZee rails are 1/3 the cost and 1/3 the capacity of...

Well when your hourly rate is $200 I can see how a dealer can end up charging $100-$150 for a simple oil change. Just another reason to DIY or at least find a independent small shop.

They don't care, bottom line is more important than customer satisfaction - witness GM and no AA/CP. A single screen is cheap and replaces a multitude of switches and wires. And until enough people say NO or the NHTSA rules out functions buried deep in menus, this will continue. And my guess is...

Great idea. My Mazda CX5 has a full under body panel but has little removable panels for oil changes and tranny drain. (It helps in the Mazda's case that the oil filter and drain are on the same side.) But if the Ford panel is that flexible the hinge route sounds like the way to go. Why the...

My driver side belt will snap back so hard/fast that I'm thinking I'll eventually break a window. The passenger side has a more normal pull. Haven't worked that hard on a fix yet and I notice that "retract too slow" seems to be a far more common problem on cars in general.

you make a good point, and there's really not anything else in the ford accessory list that I want so I should probably burn my ford points on a mat. Just have to wait for them to get back in stock.

Can you control the time-outs for these circuits using Forscan? I watched the Ford video for battery saver - since the maverick owners manual glosses over it - and the amount of time it keeps circuits active is far too long in my opinion. I don't need usb/power taps/headlights/etc running for...

$40 sounds a lot better than $100+. And nothing is going to slide on that baby.

Haven't had this problem yet on mine, but on my previous car a lot of problems were fixed by rebooting the phone. I'd also make sure you're on the latest iOS your phone will take. Also try a different lightning cord. If you have the OEM apple one handy all the better.

As I'm sitting there watching the far too, too many announcements that pop up on my display every time I turn it on, I wondered if the color of the truck on display is customized to what you're actually driving. Do blue truck people get a blue truck on the display? Mine if showing a silver/grey...

I wonder the same thing. It seems like with each car I buy, the fob keeps getting bigger. Does it really need to be this big or is it wanting to remind the customer constantly of what they're driving? Maybe there's a market for them to sell upgraded "miniature" fobs. Personally I'd gladly trade...

I see you never got a response. Did you ever get these bars for your Maverick?
