I bought a smaller boat because it was newer , had a 4 stroke and is welded . It just fits my needs better . I towed it 120 miles one way and averaged over 25 mpg , probably closer to 30 . I towed it again to a ramp and back . Probably 80 miles round trip. Again close to 30 mpg . I go 70 on the...

The problem is that they are not just podcasts . They are you tube videos with one guy talking . Mostly healthy living opinions .

I purchased an Android auto hack box a while ago to make my phone connection wireless. My wife wanted to listen to podcast videos that are on a you tube channel . After mulling it over a bit I purchased a cheap sim card that has data and messaging on it for $10 a month . Putting that into the...

What a bunch of maroons . I ran downstairs to check my oil because I am ocd . They underfilled the motor by an ounce or 3 . This was not too bad but still incorrect . .

I'm no better than anyone else . Its all conjecture . My views are based on my own experiences which mean NOTHING. I will say that I have very good luck with engines and it could just be that , luck . I do spend a large amount of time repairing and restoring motors so my experience is quite...

Its warren petroleum . Same manufacturer a most supertech , but probably a better ad pack . I have some 0w20 here . It will be in my Maverick as soon as Ford stops giving me free oil changes .

No , you're not being paranoid just wasteful . Same with the guys who get oil changes every 3000 miles . Jiffy lube loves you . I bet if they tracked everyone who got 3000 mile oil changes versus everyone who let it ride 5000-10000 of synthetic oil you would find NO difference in engine...

After he claimed that most wear in an engines entire life comes in the first whatever miles , I knew that he was talking out of his blow hole . These new modern engines do not have the loose casting metals and break in lube that engines from 25 years ago did . The come from the engine plant...

That is why I wrote it . Lets see , The gas engine runs about half the time so I really had about 6000 miles on full synthetic 0w20. I should have waited another year but didn't want to void my warranty . Karen and her friends are the same people who tell me that old oil and using starting fluid...

I just had my first oil change on my 2024 maverick hybrid . The oil life was at 8% with 11,500 on the clock . Ford quick lane quoted me on semi-synthetic , but the tech put the proper 0w20 full synthetic in . They also did a 100 point inspection with nothing found and washed the truck for...

I recently had my 24 XLT get a stone chip in the lower drivers corner The next 50 degree day it split about 12 inches while i was driving . Safelite is the preferred provider for Citizens among several other local shops . I had to get approval for Ford brand glass , which only took an hour ...

I am a walleye and perch guy mostly . My boat has almost NO wood . gunwale under supports for riggers and for the bow seat . That is it . The hull weighs 1250 . Loaded is just under 2K including the trailer. Even the transom is all aluminum . Very few if any boats are built this way anymore .

somebody wanted pictures of the hitch setup . This is the best I could get .

Yes , I did use towing mode .

Yes , I know the difficulties of a short trailer . I've been towing stuff many decades . Its just that my particular trailer has a real long snout . Once it gets just a few degrees off , its hard to correct . I was driving and backing down my friends 20 foot shamrock last month with a double...

I'm not sure that I took any side view pictures . The package is too long to get it all in . What did you want to see? I have not filled up again since the trip . I'm not sure the mileage , but expect low 30's .

I was tired about reading about the towing limits on a hybrid Maverick so I thought I would hitch up the old boat and take her on a cruise . My truck was ordered with the factory towing package , I am not sure it would make a difference . . My boat is a 19 foot 3 Lowe Aluminum . She has a 90...

My Maverick Lettering came yesterday . Its a pretty easy job . Just make sure that you get the abs raised letters . Decals will be a lot harder . Paid about $9 . I'll see how long they hold up .

So , my 47MPG mini pickup was a bad deal? I paid about $1500 under msrp . I didn't think that $33600 out the door for a loaded XLT was a bad deal for something that will retain 90% of its value in 2-3 years . Especially with what else is on the market . I drove Corolla's for 25 years . Never...

I just switched to Dr rims and 225/60/18 yokahama s35 avid blue earth low rolling resistance tires . My best mileage before the switch was 47 and this last tank was 50.6. This is mixed highway , city driving . Usually 70 on the highway . I know that these tires will be useless in the winter...
