I think they look great … I am thinking about protective wheel well guards that are Matt black plastic.

Very good point. I will try it … my hope is that “slickery” mode, combined with the Blizzak’s, will solve the dangerous wheel spin I was experiencing in my first heavy & wet snowfall in the Maverick.

Yeah … good point … maybe even just some steelies for winter wheels would be good. agree … I am a tire guy too … just never had a set of blizzak’s. Appreciate everyone’s input.

These comments are very helpful. We have not gotten much snow in chicago for the last 20 years, but we’re due for a big year. This week’s snow may be an indicator of more to come. So I decided to put the Blizzaks on, and will report on the improvement. This said, once I spend the dough, I am...

It snowed heavily in Chicago yesterday and my FWD hybrid Lariat, with brand new Falken Wild Peaks, was disappointing in its ability to move quickly from a start. It slid around from side to side and made me question my decision to go with a FWD. So I am considering putting true winter tires on...

As a heads up, you can buy an aftermarket black rubber console tray to replace the orange rubber console on the XLT … I bought one on Etsy and it fit perfectly.

Love it … a few years ago, I created a “Yellowstone Edition” for a Subaru Outback, which had an airbrushed rainbow and a brown trout, one on each side. Also as a young man, I spent a lot of time in your geography and loved it also … remembering the adage that there was a “pretty girl behind...

Really?

Disregard … just saw the cost info above … thanks

I need a new windshield for my 2022 Lariat, and was quoted $900 for it by a local glass shop. Not sure if it’s aftermarket or OE quality. Do you mind sharing what the OE windshield with all the bells and whistles should cost?

Well… looks like a good tool. Hopefully it moves to blue the week of 12/2! Love your green XLT!

Did you click on the tracker link?

Fwiw, I was not able to install even a 1” front lift for the same CVT joint reason. But I am running 245/60/18 tires with no rubbing … I am told they are the tallest possible tires that can fit on a Mav without a lift or rubbing. They have three benefits … slight higher ride height, they fill...

So I went to the dealer and drove the Alto blue Ecoboost 2022 Lariat. Aside from the fact that sales manager wanted a ridiculous amount of dough to make the trade, I ended up liking my hybrid with CVT just as much as the EB. It’s not quite as fast but it’s smoother and doesn’t search for...

Well as luck would have it … I found a perfectly matched EB twin my Alto blue lariat 2022 hybrid on a local dealer lot … it’s also a 2022 and has fewer miles. So I am going to drive the EB and if I like it, will see how it will cost me to swap. 😳

Love your truck! Thanks

Yes that’s correct … not sure why the 2025 was detuned a bit.

A $600 COBB Accessport will take torque over 300 ft lbs. with very easy installation via the OBD portal. 😳

With a $600 COBB Accessport tune (done through the OBD port) torque goes well over 300 ft lbs… yikes.

A hybrid AWD is my wife’s strong suggestion also … she hates all things turbo, particularly if it can be tuned.
