  2. 12 SUV's Being banned from parking in garage

    Unfortunately he is not the first or the last, if the moderator doesn't remove it. At least there are a few that called him out. Your either part of the problem or the solution. I think those reading your post may have decided where you fall in that category.
  3. 12 SUV's Being banned from parking in garage

    Thought this should be made available in case your looking for a second vehicle or one for your children. Unfortunately Bronco sport is one listed 2021-2024. Supposedly a final fix with new hardware owners notified 7/26 if the video is correct. I take everything with a little salt so I wouldn't...
  4. Goodbye stick shift..

    Don't think so. Just do a quick google to make sure. Here is what I just pulled up. It also describes why. "Yes, an automatic transmission is excellent at absorbing driveline shock when towing. This is primarily due to the torque converter, which uses fluid coupling instead of a direct...
  5. Goodbye stick shift..

    Good riddance. Not many people want it so they are slugs on the lot or resale value. Like was posted with automatics it easier to hit epa or mpg required by federal government. It also just delays the price of the automatic transmission because you will have to replace the clutch someday. Which...
  6. Maverick hybrid AWD backs up over retaining wall

    I understand but we don't know how difficult it is for that person to get out and look (carrying a chair). Or the person did not want to put the other person out. Or he wanted no help because he wants to have some independence when so much may have been taken away. Whatever reason I'm sure he...
  7. Maverick hybrid AWD backs up over retaining wall

    If you look at the picture his backup camera is blocked. Looks like he is carrying a chair. I can't fathom what or why it happened. Only thing I can attest is that I'm not perfect and have done some stupid $hit, I certainly can't condemn others of mistakes. I'm just glad nobody got hurt and the...
  8. Maverick hybrid AWD backs up over retaining wall

    Well he probably has a good excuse. He could easily say the back up mirror froze. Sure makes for a good story and the pictures are impressive as well. Yeah I looked as well before posting. I didn't see it and thought it was definitely worth posting. Not sure I would brag to the press about it...
  9. Maverick hybrid AWD backs up over retaining wall

    Yep I think I wrote it correctly, here is the article. Actually pretty impressive. https://www.torquenews.com/17998/3-month-old-2026-ford-maverick-hybrid-backed-retaining-wall-and-its-owner-says-awd-pulled-it
  10. Need advice on making vintage looking style

    That looks sharp. Be careful Ford might start offering that as an option.
  11. 6500 Mile mountain trip towing 3200lb camper

    X2 thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the information but appreciated the pictures. Sounds like an enjoyable trip filled with a lot of pristine memories.
  12. Air conditioning more economical to run manual or set temperature at 77 on front vent recycling air?

    Years ago I heard government mandate to have fresh air into the cab, don't know how true or false that is. I know on recycle or max a/c it doesn't allow as much dust in compared to just a/c going down a dry dirt road with oncoming traffic. With pros comes cons on recycle or max a/c can and often...
  13. How many have needed to tow a trailer.

    Okay one prerequisite before purchasing. The reason I have 5 trailers. I would have liked a little bit more than 4k but I decided to make it work. Now a lot of threads either asking how to increase the towing from the standard 2k or trading in even to other vehicles with higher towing...

  15. My new 2025 hybrid Maverick XL

    Funny you should mention that. I had a galaxy 500 with aftermarket aluminum rims that broke apart swinging the end over which would just spin. That was on a railroad track with a Amtrak speeding toward me. Lucky the house next to the tracks saw it and quickly I mind you, called it in. Since...
  16. My new 2025 hybrid Maverick XL

  17. Undercoating with fluid film?

    This shop has been gone for years. I've moved over the years but still remember them or the stuff they sprayed. I do remember those cars holding up to the salt or elements it wasn't a yearly application. Still the close as I could get to it was Krown. I'm not a fan of Ziebart or that black...
  18. Undercoating with fluid film?

    Winters or salt use in Michigan is hard on metal. When I was a kid use to be a paint shop that used like a grease I believe it was Davis Collision on Cogswell Rd in Romulus Michigan. Last vehicle didn't rustproof so it was something I needed to do and plan too as well. The issue is trying to...
  19. Does color matter?

    I don't miss vinyl at all that's why it has to be a cloth seats for myself. Not just because of the heat, cold or can't breathe I don't want to be sliding around the seat when trying to control the vehicle in stressful situations or bouncing along a trail. I remember them seats all to well. I...
