  1. Parking Lot Commandos: Door Dings

    I had a cart go completely down the side of a new Monte Carlo SS once. The cart was at the top of the sloped parking lot and the wind got it rolling downhill and tore the hell out of the entire right side of that car. I know how you feel and I'm sorry for you.:cry:
  2. towing package just for extra cooling?

    If you are going to order AWD anyway, another 700 bucks is not much for what you get. And as the OP said the extra cooling is worth it for me here inTexas.
  3. Factory continental tires are junk.

    I had to plug one on my truck yesterday and I could tell how thin the plies are by how easy it was to insert the plug. It's just a lightweight tire designed to get good gas mileage and run quietly on paved roads. I wouldn't run them off road but I wouldn't call them junk either.
  4. Check Engine Light

    The only way that I know of to reset the light is with an OBDII scanner or a laptop with the proper software installed. The light "may" reset itself in 50 re-starts if no faults are detected. I've been retired and out of the repair biz for 10 years so take this info FWIW.
  5. Hard Trifold Tonneau Covers that actually trifold in the $600 or less range?

    As I said above I have the Rough Country and I like it so far. The only thing that I didn't like is the cheap, flimsy drain tube that was supplied with the cover. I couldn't get it to make a bend without crimping shut so I used 1/4" fuel hose instead and it worked great.
  6. Rubbing noise in reverse on 2024 Maverick

    You may have some rust on the rear brake rotors. If so, make a couple of fast stops from 50 mph or so and see if this does away with the noise. Be sure and do this in a low traffic area so you don't get hit from behind.
  7. Hard Trifold Tonneau Covers that actually trifold in the $600 or less range?

    Check with Panda Motorworks a sponsor here. I think they sell the Rough Country tri-fold for $700 and no shipping. That's $50 less than anywhere else and less than I paid from Amazon last month. I have one and it's a nice cover.
  8. Why do people complain about others spending 40k on a maverick?

    Years ago I bought a new standard cab S10 short bed. An old guy I worked with called it a "sidewalk truck" as in something kids would play with on the sidewalk. Yeah, right. Some numbskulls just don't get it.
  9. Have you bought a '24 Maverick for below MSRP??

    I'm going to make a WAG and say that there will probably be rebates or 0% interest or both on the '24s by the first of the year. Increasing production and falling sales will force this. Maybe.
  10. Have you bought a '24 Maverick for below MSRP??

    Yes off the sticker price. The dealer had some "mandatory" add ons that I refused to pay for and all those were waived except for the window tint and door edge guards that had already been done. I made a counter offer and got the window tint for about fifty bucks. I guess they needed my money...
  11. Have you bought a '24 Maverick for below MSRP??

    Yes, $2742 off list on my XLT bought in September. The price was listed on the the dealer's web page. Doc fee was only $150.
  12. Don’t get mad at me….

    A friend of mine, a diehard Chevy guy, traded in his worn out Silverado for one. So far he likes it, but I'll stick with Ford.
  13. What did your maverick replace?

    I was driving a 2017 Silverado LT Double Cab and I still have it. The Maverick Isn't as roomy or comfortable, but it handles much better and the gas mileage is great.
  14. Scratch and dent rebuild example

    I've done that too. There were no salvage titles in Texas 35 years ago, at least not that the average person could tell. A salvage title was issued by the state when a total loss was was sold by the insurance company to a dealer or back to the owner. If the wreck was repaired it was inspected...
  15. 2025 AWD Hybrid ordered Desert Sand.

    No, but we have a bunch of steep boat ramps and large bass boats. (y)
  16. Battery Drainage due to Ford App & Telematic Unit sending Data to Ford

    In my wilder days I drove a '77 Vette. All I can say is when a person is young and eager anything is possible. :angel:
  17. What wheels are you using to replace your steelies on your XL?

    If my truck wasn't an XLT I would look for a set of take offs.
  18. 2024 xl 2.0 engine light at 7,500 miles

    Since it's a fairly new truck just take it back to the dealer, it's still under warranty. Could be 100 different things causing that light to come on.
