I like the stealth look.

I bought the Ryobi pistol grip inflator at least 5+ years ago for inflating bike tires. Then I bought a new hose on Amazon that had a Presta and Schrader head on it for quick, simple attachments to my bicycle and my car. The new hose fit perfectly on the pump. It is one of the most useful...

Love this post. I thought I was the only one left who doesn't drink foo foo coffee. I'll take my cone drip, dark roast, 30-w every morning. No synthetic of synthetic blends for me. Now... back to car talk.

The one time I didn't put on Michelin Defenders on one of our two cars, I immediately regretted it. The decrease in ride quality and increase in noise were noticeable. That's what I'll put on my Maverick and my Subaru next time around.

I had a lexus rx 300 about 15 years ago that I put 245k on. Awesome car. When I asked my mechanic if it was advisable to change the oil and filter every 3K even though I was using Mobil 1 full syn, he said, Yes, because the top end runs hot and you get some foam build up. What he showed me...

I drive a 25 lariat hybrid with 13k on it, fill up at Costco most of the time, and dump in a bottle of techron in the tank every 5k. The Costco fuel (I've read) is top tier, but it's only 85 octane. My trucklet runs fine. but I drive like an old man and probably wouldn't notice if it lagged a...

How about a pool noodle or pipe insulation??

However you fix it... the sooner the better. The chip I took care of immediately has held for over a year. The chip that I ignored for several weeks traveled fast and soon became beyond repair. I think I paid a glass place about 100.00 for the chip that I acted on quickly. Sounds like a...

I got rid of a beautiful, cush Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie that I bought to drive on Houston's freeways, safely (up high/ great visibility) during rush hour every day. I never really hauled with it. Loved that truck! My ego sunk a little when we parted, but the minor depression was fleeting. Now I...

An Egg McMuffin at McDs? That's my kind of top tier fuel. Add a large, black coffee and cruise!

Has anyone used a Fumoto oil drain valve on a 2025 Maverick Lariat Hybrid AWD?

When to change the oil is the most personalized aspect of being a car owner. Everyone does what makes them feel good, and that's the way it should be. I rode a 71 Norton Commando (hard) for 30 something k back in the day. I changed the oil every 1K. No filter on that bike, so I cleaned the...

I received my 2025 lariat hybrid AWD (no upgrades) in December of 24. It's been a great vehicle in terms of excellent mpg, plenty of power, decent handling and ride, safety features, etc. I drive on paved highways and secondary roads, no towing, nothing fancy - only wanted a truck to move...

I received my Dessert Sand 2025 Lariat hybrid AWD just before Christmas. I enjoy it more than I thought I would. It's been a great vehicle in terms of comfort, reliability and mpg. I'm about to turn 10K miles soon. No issues whatsoever. My first oil change was at 5K. Not sure when I'll do...

My question is related, but not right on target with the device you are using. About 3x per week I transport my gravel bike to a ride site in the bed of my 25 Maverick Lariat hybrid with the tailgate down. I would like a second back up camera for these local trips with my bike, but it's not a...

Life's too serious. Gotta get a little Daffy! Love 'em.

2025 Lariat Hybrid. No extras or upgrades. 9k miles. One oil change. Awesome MPGs. Smooth sailing.

I applied some of my Ford Points towards my first oil change.

I've always washed my cars in the driveway. Don't rat me out, but I used Dawn dish detergent for many of those years. Then I read online that Dawn strips any polish I was putting on, which was usually Nu Finish. Why Nu Finish? It was cheap and got good ratings on Amazon. My cars always...

I use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DBB96PJ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2 Check out the last little bit of the video and it shows a neoprene tube attached to the nipple valve. That's the type that I use, and it puts the used oil exactly where I want it. Then I remove the...
