I needed a toad. That is, a vehicle to tow behind my motorhome, four down (without a trailer). A toad.

"Salt water will ruin your truck!!!" Back when Grandpa was driving a Chevy Vega, that was pretty much the case. Back in ‘71, those Chevys would disintegrate if left in view of a salt shaker. On the Outer Banks, I was four feet above sea level. On Galveston Island, I am 6.3 feet above sea...

The term “the beach” is meaningless. Every beach is different. Some have sand like concrete. Some have cottony sand that even the best four-wheel-drive vehicles struggle to cross. For example, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, your Mav wouldn’t have a chance. On Galveston Island, Texas...

I'm 69 and find the same. My Caddy SRX is really nice but now that I have the Maverick as my toad, I am liking the smaller footprint and easier parking. It is just as easy to get into and out of as the Caddy. Compared to fixing this and that, the Maverick is much easier to deal with.

Here's mine. The radio is under the back seat, with power coming directly from the battery. No, that does not cause witchcraft or evil spells. Works great.

At any store? I don't think Victoria's Secret has them. Pretty sure, anyway.

Page 292 of my manual has no such instruction to lock the doors. I am not sure what "sticky" is. As I said ... It appears your version is different than other versions. Every Maverick I have seen will be alarming away behind the motorhome should the doors be locked. I would rather have your...

It appears your version is different than other versions. Every Maverick I have seen will be alarming away behind the motorhome should the doors be locked. I would rather have your version. But mine works.

When you lock your Maverick, does it set the alarm? When you lock the Maverick and that sets the alarm, does the alarm go off as the truck is being towed? Ever? (I get that on a newly paved highway, it will not. but ....)

Who writes this trash? "Seamless interaction," "foundational," "behind the scenes." Explaining a feature with nonsense words lays bare the feature's nonsense.

Locking the truck sets the alarm. When flat towing, you can't lock the doors. The vehicle tows wonderfully with a non-chipped key that any competent locksmith can make. As there is no chip, that key will NOT start the truck. It will, however, allow you to flat tow. You still can't lock the...

Nope. Ford. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ford

To update this matter, YES, you can tow with a non-chipped key. I've been doing it for some time now without an issue. There is no need to put a regular key in the Maverick. I offer a hearty pat on the back to whoever designed this ability. I really appreciate having a key in the ignition...

If there were a prize for “Stupidest Engineered Part on an Otherwise Well Designed Vehicle”, Ford’s skid plate retainer clips would win. Hands down. Worst engineering ever. They can be ordered and replaced. That doesn’t fix the problem. They need to be REPLACED with another product. Has...

I did Blue Ox as with my many previous installations.. The install went as expected. I've installed many of my own baseplates. This one was not challenging. It did involve thought, a lot of time, and skinned knuckles. I would ABSOLUTELY advise getting the [more than you need but, no, you...

Rephrase your question to filter out the landlubbers. Like this: “Please answer ONLY: 1. If you know what a “king tide” is, and; 2. If you know what a “nor’easter” is, and; 3. If you know whether to stay for a CAT3, and; 4. If you live at least part-time on an island; Only then, to you, I...

Yeppers. Best toad ever.

Kind of sounds like you're getting replies from bots or ai. Dumb ai. Google "how do I use a meter to find a short circuit" and learn that. I would start by putting a meter between the disconnected charging line at the vehicle's post and ground. Set the meter to show a short. Work backwards...

"It's fair" is a statement that has echoed through time haunting those who once paid a penny and now pay fees that increase, increase and increase again. That penny turns into a dollar, then $100.00 and then $1000.00. "It's fair" is a capitulation to an ever increasing tax that can be changed...

That's what I hoped would be posted! If you are on the wrong side of those requirements, you're wasting your time. UNLESS ... The person you helped raises holy hell at the Texas City council meetings, publicly with the chief of police on social media, on the news, and in any other way. The...
