Can't say I've heard that particular noise before. I have heard my maverick sound like it's under load when starting but before driving - I thinks it's the engine trying to warm itself up as fast as it can. I'd check with the more mechanically inclined, but it's my understanding other...

I noticed when I first got my maverick (In a January, so things got slick pretty fast) that the slippery mode also seemed to make engine braking more aggressive, which I liked. Instead of being tempted to hit my brakes too hard and send me into a slide, the vehicle would perfectly decelerate me...

He asked about default behavior.

As I recall, it resets itself everytime you pull the key. Could be wrong about that, I have a hybrid.

Early bird and all that.

I put 10k down on a 24k out-the-door Maverick XL last January so I could get the payments for a 3 year, 0 interest loan down to around 370 bucks a month. About half way through that so I owe about 7k on it still. I didn't have a trade in because my 2005 Impala killed itself 2 weeks before my...

You can get purpose built dryers that spool out filament while drying, or repurpose a 5 dollar yard sale dehydrator.

Yup. Fun unrelated fact, there's such a thing as helium hard drives though. Turns out when you jam enough platters in a small enough space and spin them at 7200rpm, aerodynamics actually do start to matter. Unfortunately, in tires, there just isn't that kind of extreme strain. High nitrogen...

I mean, I'm pretty sure I've towed 4k in my hybrid by accident, so I've got both! Hopefully that doesn't bite me in the ass later...

Poppycock. By the way, want to play a game guys? Your social security number is how much money you have in the bank, tell us how rich you are!

Your cash discount is not being charged 3.5%. I can't say I have seen this at a dealership before, but it's common enough that I'm not sure why your surprised or shocked.

Hauled wood up to my parents house so my brother could build much needed steps and rails for the rear deck.

Oh no, a beep is disturbing the gig economy. Better rip the seat belts and electric running signals out of all the vehicles. My brother was extremely anti belt. One day they towed his truck to the house after a low speed crash. He had a huge knob on his head and there are a suspiciously placed...

I had to replace one due to puncture. Got the cheapest Firestone I could get because I had less than 10k and figured I'd just replace the Firestone with the Continentals at the same time. In heavy rain I can feel exactly which tire is the Firestone, because it's the only one not ever so...

Prusa has a really deep Orange PETG. Overture, which is what I largely use, has kind of a light orange. I'm not sure how deep the Lariat orange actually is though, I'm an XL peasant.

A lot of mom and pop restaurants I go to have a 5 percent upcharge policy on credit cards for this very reason. Can't say I blame them, credit cards are super convenient but the fees are insane when you think about it.

Quick Google search says the tailgate holds 400 pounds in the middle position, and 500 fully down. Sportser 48 has a listed wet weight of 550 pounds, which probably means the actual weight is closer to 600. So you've got 200 pounds to spare. That said, braking will put more weight in the back...

I got lucky with my warning light. It started as a ground failure and turned out the exhaust heat exchanger had locked open. No one in the dealership had ever seen that happen before, and they were amazed they got the part in 2 weeks.

My boss keeps telling me to use the office trailer because I have a 'baby truck.' Picture from yesterday. I've since added another ladder, and the cab is quite frankly packed to the ceiling.

The Maverick made it into the best hybrid truck list for 2023 (Behind the Ranger). Seems like a very weird oversight for KBB.
