I have bigger and heavier trucks for bigger towing jobs. The heaviest I've hauled with the Maverick is an 18' inboard outboard Penn Yan boat on a tandem axle trailer. I figure no more than 2500-3000 pounds. Truck handled it just fine and I got better MPG (24.7) than pulling an empty 400lb 5' X...

I could come by and grab them in a week if no one wants to pay shipping.

I have some mounted winter tires on XL wheels with sensors I used one season (8,000 miles) that I'm thinking about selling. I do not plan at this time to use my Maverick in the winter again. I'm in northern NY.

That Ruby Red is hot. So is the Eruption Green but in no way will I give up my Hot Pepper Red!

If you grew up in a lake effect area, you certainly weren't paying attention back then. And today, everywhere that has snow uses more salt/brine than they did years ago. You gave the original poster bad advice and I've called you on it. Whatever your situation is doesn't mean his or anyone...

You're very welcome!

That's for those like you who think they know it all. Obviously you have no experience in this matter other than your own very limited experience. Maybe take the time and learn something!

DO NOT LEAVE IT THERE like another poster has suggested! He has no clue on Lake Effect areas. (I live in a Lake Effect area) Over time the salt WILL cause damage. If it is still there in the warmer months, the heat and humidity will speed up the chemical reaction. Best way is to rinse with low...

No need to get defensive. Not every area is like yours. I live in an area that sees 200 plus inches a year. Within 40 miles the average is 300-400 inches and some years go higher than that. Just this morning the salt truck has been by three times and it quit snowing (for now) around midnight...

The midwest is baby crap compared to the Lake Ontario snow belt. Come visit this area is you want a real education on salt damage!

Absolutely not! The worse thing you can do is leave it there!

I got the recall notice last week. It said do not use the block heater and that no parts are available.

I'm not worried. When I retire within the next year and a half, I'm selling mine and driving old stuff. Only 9K on it now and probably 20K or less when I sell it.

As far as "idiots" are concerned, Darwin had an excellent theory!

People to this day still die in vehicle accidents yet we still accept whatever risk remains. That same risk was accepted 60 or 112 years ago too, before government involvement. And no matter what government requires next, people will still die in vehicle accidents. And to the point of this...

You haven't stated anything that I don't already know. That said, you (nor anyone else) has not answered my question.

How in the hell did we survive with out all this government?

Overall I love driving it. Originally bought as a winter vehicle, I like it so much I don't want it out in the salt deteriorating so it is stored for the winter.

No one knows that better than those of us who live in the Lake Ontario snow belt!

A certified "woman owned business". Other than looking for cheaper transport (via non union drivers) I wonder if all the back peddling from DEI has anything to do with it? The trucking business is in a shambles right now.
