Exactly! (y) There's plenty of very reputable mechanics/shop owners that highly disagree with the manufacturers guidelines. Just off the top of my head these 2 Youtube channels of guys that exclusively work on Ford and Toyota constantly harp on long interval oil changes.
To each their own but these quick oil change places and even the dealerships aren't using actual mechanics or experienced technicians to change the oil/filter. I stopped paying someone to change mine when I ended up with a cross threaded drain plug. When you have to schedule this service you...
If you noticed my profile, it shows my 24 Maverick Lariat (bought it new & I've had it for over 2 years), so.... I'm not waiting for anything. Funny how fanboys love a brand.
Okay, I could care less if Ford has "cornered the market" That just means they probably wont improve the Maverick much & as far as I'm concerned, the more competition, the better it is for the consumer. I'm not loyal to a brand and if Toyota makes a better truck at a better price, I'm all for it.
I haven't really found this in my own personal experience. I've owned my Maverick for over a year & a half with 20k miles with 1 update to the computer (no other issues yet).
Thanks! that would be a nice added feature that I would wait for. I imagine if you had this you may not learn how to backup a trailer if you didn't already know how to.
