I also had a Ranger, '86 with AWD, ordered it from the dealer. About $12,000. Did well in the snow. My Dad bought it but had bad luck, as the engine internal oil pump failed, and he had to replace the engine. After he passed, I reassumed ownership, and eventually sold it to our new young...
I have sold several vehicles to Carvana. They offered more than Carmax, and came to pick the car up. I was honest about the condition of the vehicle, and they paid into my checking account the same or next day. If I then go to a dealership without a trade in, it is much easier to negotiate if I...
Beautiful truck. I have a '23 Lariat, also silver with same rims. We took it to the Outer Banks last month. I loaded it with grandkids' bikes, and a week's worth of food and luggage. The adaptive cruise control was easy to use, and the B&O stereo was an unexpected pleasure. Best of all, I...
Howdy neighbor. I considered buying from JH until I saw how much they marked up this model. I even called DS to see if their markup was similar. Their answer was no. I ended up buying a gently used 2023 hybrid Lariat from Carmax, and it has been a great little truck. MPG and B&O sound have been...
Enjoying the trip. Went to ACE Hardware to fix a beach chair. The Maverick did 46mpg on the 25 mile trek and back, at 55 mph (lots of blue lights here).
Loaded up the hybrid last Saturday morning, grandkids' bikes in back, with food for 13, from Columbia, SC to the Outer Banks. Adaptive cruise worked well on I95, but it got tricky when the southbound lane was closed due to a wreck, and we started having gawkers going north. A couple of times we...
Well, bartflossom wins, but just by the skin of his teeth. Victoria Falls. Retirement trip to Africa. Stayed in camps most nights. But at Victoria Falls, the old British Hotel was a 4 star experience. Eat dinner outside and watch the Zambezi River crash over the cliffs. Lots of amazing animals...
I guess this is where I get started. Turning 70 in a couple of months. Have had the pleasure of trying out lots of used vehicles over the years. I still do my own yard work, and decided to look for a small pickup. I have an X3 for towing if needed, so I ordered a used 2023 Maverick Lariat...
