100% im hoping though i do understand its not likely that one of them undercuts Ford and gets/bases their pricing on the OLD 22-24ish year range of prices that was 7-10K less than now that would be awesome. I dont know exactly what Toyota with the Stout was predicted to compete in the 25-30K range
Toyota, Yet they actually have the ability as in currently made to do it cheapest of all IF they wanted to.
But like I said I will almost always now be buying used not new since there isnt a new budget truck now that actually a budget truck... Only bloated price for the same thing that was...
I am glad they will have competition. For me if looking in the future it will be all about who had the least expensive small truck.. and even then im probably buying used. Maverick went from a great low cost/budget option to 7-10K more in 2 years for the exact same thing(as far as...
Around Christmas 2025 I took in my 2023 Maverick XLT for a service(oil change, transmission fluid change/flush) and a dead USB port. they(the dealership) had actually wanted this several times to also do the thread title backup camera fix. I had initially refused as they couldnt tell me how...
Dont know but I do know they are not getting it back any time soon. I dont sit at a dealership and "wait" for their unknown/undisclosed" time frames it gets dropped off.. since this is about 40 miles away and they have had it now 2X to do this once it was at my convenience as i dropped it off...
So this is my whole thing as of 1/12/26 And they cant fix it apparently.
Well I dont know anything other than its 2026 now. I just had mine in 2 separate times for the backup camera "fix". They tried several attempts(apparently they need to download some kind of update/program.. they had it 2X...
Mine was dead on my 2023 when I bought it.. of course I didn't find out till id already bought it and got it home lol. But I just yesterday 1/12/26 got that square port fixed(the C always worked) so at least that was fixed. They cant fix the backup camera lmao glad ive never had issues with it.
Well fast forward to Jan 2026 and they said its a program/software download they didnt say anything about parts and they had mine for 2 full days and couldnt get the "program to work/take" so even after this they couldnt fix it..To me thats fine as I never showed any ill effects from it id never...
Most truck guys dont get it... they always ask.. why did you get that, answers always because I dont need THAT pointing at their truck, then I say..what can your (normally a mid or full size beautiful truck with some sort of off road package and a lift/big tires) truck do that mine cant THAT I...
So in otherwords we AGREE...I think its great and better than a mid/full size because it does everything I want it to, had good bed size(useable bed) and gets 30+ MPG. Good to see we agree totally.
This is just it and something "Truck Guys" will never get. Ive ben asked why I got something I cant do anything with... I said.. it does EVERYTHING I NEED it to do.. I havent found myself yet going... "I need a bigger truck for this"
I look back over the last40 years(just realized ive been...
No its just base seats, they are a one size fits all and thats why they are on base models.. as you move up you get rewarded(of course for the extra cost) with adjustability. very few manufacturers put their most comfortable seats in their base models...they put their least adjustable seats in...
Thats the in thing now matte colors, sand, green/green and blue green/grey colors, the blacking grey/charcoal that looks matte with no real gloss in it, lots of earthy colors and colors as you say that look like "mud" or id think would be called natural" or "Outdoor" colors. And id be all for...
Only time stuff comes into play is when yours going over strange stuff like rocks and ruts where pieces and portions may stick up or down more. like on the OP picture normally when clearing something the tire would just carry the car over anything that would hit the shock there unless youre...
This is true but some dealer actually care and try to fix things and like their ratings to be high. Our local one always calls after a service and says if you cant give us a 5 star rating let us know so we can fix it..Complain to corporate and then leave a detailed review like you did here...
Look at the Forester and or outback(preferebly with the XT engine) the Mazda CX50 avoid Nissan and the Rogue my niece had one it fell apart now she has a Subaru Ascent.
Ive had those on 3 cars ive owned outside using them just to see what they did(aka did they work well..were they worth using) I think I used them in 3 cars..less than 10 times.
Learned on one first car ever was a 4 speed so yes. and depended on if I downshifted on whats going on
at a Yield downshift since you may never actually stop at a stop sign since i was stopping often if just stop and not downshift then go to 1st when stopped, no need to downshift at a stop sign...
I guess I will ask... what exactly does this, or would if i was foolish enough to think its a good thing or needed, actually DO for me that pushing down on my brakes wont do?
I just re-read and say Hybrid.. so maybe its a Hybrid thing only I digress if so.
