  1. 2028 Ford Fathom EV Pickup ($28,350 Starting Price) - News & Info

    I think that for the ones that made it to the field, people found it too much hassle. And as someone pointed out above, the subsidies to pulled. by still being stuck in California? 🤔 😜 Color choice limited, of course, to Area 51 . . . . 🤭
  2. Granger Extended Warranty

    The two basic cases in which an extended warranty makes sense are, 1) It's something that you couldn't afford to replace if it went out, and 2) the quality of the item is such that it's probably going to fail, and someone is fool enough to sell it (typically department store one-size-fits-all...
  3. After 2 years, I’m back!

    🎼I'm going to miss her, when I get home.🎵🎶 Not if CA and NY have anything to say about it! :crackup: it's only been a few years since the telephone excise tax finally got a stake thorough it. It was to fund the Spanish American war, and just kind of stuck around . . .

    that's the flux capacitor socket . . .
  5. This Tiny Pickup Truck Claims It Can tow 8,000 lbs....🛻🤔

    wow. Do these come from the factory with a saddle, or do you have to mount it and drill through the roof for the reins yourself? 🙄
  6. 2028 Ford Fathom EV Pickup ($28,350 Starting Price) - News & Info

    Both Ford and Dodge are claiming to be shipping half-tonnish versions for '27 (but doesn't seem to be on either's early order guides). Then again, the dodge was supposed to be available as a '25, so . . . (I'll probably buy whichever comes out first) yeah, yeah. That sounds great, right...
  7. VW Is Reportedly Developing a New Pickup Truck for the United States

    my girlfriend's father had one back then, it was for running around on the far. When it came time to trade it in, they looked at the book, found $1,450, then -$500 for over 100k miles, and another -$1,000 for diesel. "You owe us fifty bucks." "I think I can do better selling it myself." He...
  8. New Maverick/ introducing/ Windshield Wiper Fluid Light

    I guess it can go on the list with the wheel/tire that loses pressure when temperature goes down, and the complete failure of both the 120vac and 12vdc in the bed, when I get around to taking it in for recalls . . .
  9. Lane Keeping System Observations,

    That sound in the distance is Uncle Chuck snapping his fingers at the failure of natural selection . . . :crackup:
  10. Not an engineer, but blessed with common sense

    it's not the warning you get when you do have an unbelted passenger, just an annoying dialog box you have to OK away--and it clearly shows that the seat is empty, too!
  11. It Happened, My First Car Accident

    What was the name of that college in the old Disney movies (some with Kurt Russell, iirc) in which they chanted, "We're number 2!" ?
  12. Hello from Mangoal Dash Cam | Here to support Maverick owners

    shooting from the hip, but what would the truck off life be if you had it charging a bank of, say, 2000 mAh 1.5v Lithium AA batteries when voltage is high when running?
  13. 2028 Ford Fathom EV Pickup ($28,350 Starting Price) - News & Info

    Isn't "worthless video" redundant? 🤔 Try reducing dietary fiber? 😜 [nods sagely]. Just like my Faverick and my Fustang :crackup: A massive van de Graaff generator in the bed to bleed it off? What could go wrong? Flashing back a few years, during those wonderful weeks I got to drive a...
  14. New Maverick/ introducing/ Windshield Wiper Fluid Light

    No big deal. It will be totaled and replaced soon enough when he gets rear ended by a bicycle! 😜 Anyway, our '25 Lariat has that light show up perhaps every month or so, with the first time being after just a week or to. It seems to mean, "I parked at an odd angle that caused things to slosh...
  15. Not an engineer, but blessed with common sense

    You'll have to take that up with the EPA, not Ford. they test and rate mileage based upon how the car comes up when turned on. If you could set the stock vehicle to come up in any of five different modes, it would have to have five testings and ratings. You also have to keep your back...
  16. Never keep pumping gas after the nozzle clicks!!⛽

    hey, those extra clicks are how the Saudis pay for their kids' school activities! Even in the cow counties? (Now that I think of it, it's been some years since I've been in any Nevada county besides clark; I'm either going to Northern California or southern Arizona when I leave town) It's...
  17. Never keep pumping gas after the nozzle clicks!!⛽

    Between filling with gas, or emptying the outhouse? 🤔 Yes, and it's great bundling for the station. At interstellar distances, diesel engines need so much urea, that everyone has to get two or three Bladder Busters to be able to do their part! 🤭 I tried that, but it made it too hard to...
  18. How Long Do You See Yourself Keeping Your Maverick? 🚗

    :eek: The horror! :eek::eek::eek:
  19. Not only did I get my best mileage from this tank..

    Given that that's about 45 moles/gallon, I'm impressed. It usually takes a whole pint to drown a mole, but . . . :eek: towing.
  20. Lane Keeping System Observations,

    It's hardly new. People have even causing accidents like this in Teslas for over a decade.
