With my tool box in the trunk, and a dry spot in the parking lot, wasn't much maintenance/repair and/or upgrades I wouldn't tackle on my 1970 Maverick. Today, even with a nice garage, and a couple of big triple decker roll around tool chests, there's not much I feel capable of attempting on my...

A lot of guys I know have replaced both. . . . several times. The cars were always the less expensive option. 😎

Ford Maverick then vs now — same name, totally different vibe Probably one of the very few folks on this forum who actually purchased a new 1970 Maverick, and a new 2022 Maverick, for my personal use. You need to take into account the deference between context of the times when both vehicles...

Check out Diamondback covers https://diamondbackcovers.com/ Used one on my Ridgeline, great product, can remove/install complete cover in 15m +/-. Good customer service. You get what you pay for. Decided to use the Ford hard roll up on my Mav as I don’t need to remove it to haul a large load...

............ and electricity will be $20.00+ per kw, if they can make enough. Hope you don't where the temps drop into the teens for much of the winter.

Did not supply a specific source as it was well covered by local news outlets here in South Carolina. Apparently it did not warrant coverage in the national news media outlets. If you are concerned my info is inaccurate, please feel free to check local SC news outlet sources. Am not...

News yesterday: No EV Scout trucks will be made at the SC location. May see a hybrid version sometime in 2028. Think the whole project is DOA. State of SC wasted millions of tax dollars on this fiasco.

You might want to check the following posting, has a detailed PDF file, which I've attached to this reply, that shows how I added a winch in the bed for loading/unloading my motorcycle. May give some ideas you could use. Good luck, and happy hunting. Hybrid AWD Hauling a Motorcycle As...

My 2022 2EB, Lariat with the FX4 package has tow hooks. Tow hooks were/are part of the FX4 option. Driving lights are deleted from the Lariat package and replaced with the tow hooks. Would guess this may still be the case. As to if they can be added, would suggest contacting a dealer parts...

Inquiring minds want to know. Being inquisitive and anal 🙃, did a bit of research. There may not be a universal "Official Standard" for OHV road classifications. The sites shown below, provide some info, usually 10 Classes, most are very similar descriptions for each class. Several states...

As promised, update with all of the details requested. Craig, you sound like you have hands on experience in a fab shop, and this should be well within your capabilities. The following is an attempt at a ‘CYA’ header covering all the necessary facts, and containing a little humor. Can’t claim...

Pre-collision is the main one, haven't tried turning it down, will need to look up how to do so when I can find some time. Also despise having to turn off the auto stop every time I restart. And that goes for the transmission mode as well. I'm more of a driver than an operator, preferring to...

No, do a search and you will find this was an issue during the first couple of years production. Got my truck 10/15/21, so have some history with recalls and production problems.

Need to some digging in my files, might take a few days. Currently involved a major construction project, and finding time for anything outside of work is hard. Have made quite a few alterations since the original posting. Trying to update the referenced PDF file with more current details and...

While not a fan of Jeff Bezos or EV’s, do like the ‘Keep It Super Simple’ (KISS) concept. That, combined with providing a ‘Blank Canvas’, and a ‘palette of options’ for the customer to create a vehicle which will meet their needs and pocketbook at the time of acquisition, then allow additions...

For those who would like to know more about the '1st' Maverick vehicle, these sites will probably provide more than you might wish to know. Some great photos, and a look at the entrepreneurial spirit that made America the envy of the world. . . . . . . . . . .hpdl (herr professor doktor...

Pre-Boomer. Gave up the notion that a vehicle defined who, or what, I was. If you look upon a vehicle as a tool, and purchase the tool that meets your needs, then when it ceases to do so, you find a tool that does. Doesn't mean you have to get the minimum available, instead look for better...
