Plus you can buy a dampener for the Maverick for pretty cheap too.

Not the typical response I would expect from someone with a username like yours, but I appreciate the response for sure. Always nice to talk with rational people instead of just those who want to bandwagon for whatever they happened to have bought or brand they typically like.

I have heard so many horror stories of Nissan's rusting out remarkably fast up here that even the dealers try to steer people in other directions. Having said that, I was looking at the features included in the Honda Ridgelines. And with them getting marked down to make room for the new ones...

I hear alarms going off all the time. Lots of teens walking around being teens.... But yeah, I want the remote start on the fob more than just about every other feature since I can't bring my phone into work.

So far I am thinking the best one for me would be to get a slightly used EB AWD. As much as I would love to see the high mpgs in the summer, the cost savings on the older EB may off set that and then some. Plus, not having a garage and having to leave it out in the elements I don't really want...

I agree with just about everything you said. From what I read though, the EB loses some fuel efficiency in winter also, just not as much as a hybrid will. Judging by the numbers I am seeing, it looks like the hybrid may give me like 5-7 more mpgs in the winter. But at the end of the day, I don't...

I am almost always the exact same way. I usually let early adopters spend the cash testing new products for companies to work out the bugs. Unfortunately, my current vehicles are telling me it is time to get something else. So I would either need to get a beater for a bit while I wait, or make...

I figured there would be a lot of hybrid haters in a tuck forum. Yeah, Northern WI is fairly similar to my area. Do you have any idea what kind of milage you get in January/February? 40 mpg sounds awesome, but I have to imagine in the winter I would see closer to 25-30 with the cold temps and...

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for yours? I am seeing all these crazy prices for a vehicle that is 3 years old with similar miles. Add to that the price increase by Ford and dealer markups on new ones and people are charging over what they paid for it 3 years ago. Honestly, at...

Yeah, life time yooper here lol. That is a good point on asking about how many hybrids they work on. Given the fact that they have 0 on their lot currently and no one I know of around here has a hybrid, I am going to guess they don't work on them much. That might be a big determining factor...

It is tough to say how many miles I will drive a year as my youngest kid just moved into the dorms so my driving habits will probably change. More than likely it will be somewhere between 9-12k miles a year I think.

Is there an option to just add the remote start without the alarm? I absolutely hate car alarms. Especially in the area where I live where most people don't even lock their doors.

Yeah, I am thinking that if I get an ecoboost instead of hybrid I might get a used one instead and save a bunch. I would also like to retain the pass-through window in the back glass, and I hate the extra bit under the headlights that the 25's have. I would like to have remote start on the fob...

Looks good, but I never understood the point of these things. Not trying to bash it or anything, I just really don't get them. Like the tonneau covers I understand. But if you want that extra height and the area to be enclosed, wouldn't it be easier to just get a van? Lower loading height to.

Yeah I know, but if I was to spray the rest of it I would want it done so it was matching. Was considering the plastic trim on the top of the truck bed and tailgate too.

It doesn't seem to be a popular option anymore, but I remember seeing trucks years ago that had spray in bed liner along the bottom edge and above the wheel arches to prevent rust. From what I have seen, the plastic fender flares tend to hold moisture and dirt against the metal which would make...

I apologize in advance if this has been covered before. I have seen a couple posts on the subject, but most seem to have a lot of conflicting information. Now that the Mav has been out for a few years, I am hoping I can get a more definitive answer for my specific use case from those who live in...
