I agree w/ this. The extra sound deadening, adaptive cruise, and other goodies are all good stuff. Find a Lariat and don't look back. By the time you properly accessorize the XLT there may not be all that much difference anyway. I remember one new vehicle I bought was a '97 S-10 that I...
A set of Mabett mudflaps was the very first thing I added to my Mav. Since then I've added a dash cover, center console organizer, Mabett dash cubby phone mount, plugs for the holes in the bottom of the tailgate, tailgate assist, a 12v USB outlet in the bed, side turn signal repeaters (DIY)...
I installed them very soon after the thing pulled into the driveway for the first time; they were the first thing I did to it. Would I do it again? Absolutely! They're black on a black vehicle and pretty much disappear, not that I care anyway. They look fine, work perfectly, and were a good...
Wow, I'm sure sorry your Taco got a little scratched up! I've had my hybrid Mav for about a year and a half now and have been happy w/ it. So far a perfect vehicle for our needs. Good luck!
I have tenders hooked up to both my '24 Hybrid Maverick and my '20 Hybrid Escape. Both are hooked up to the under the hood jump points and have always worked perfectly. I use tenders from Harbor Freight and they have relatively short 120vac power cords do I have the tender mounted up near the...
Hello and welcome to MTC! I, too, bought a used '24 Shadow Black Lariat about a year and a half ago. Also like you I considered black to be at the bottom of the preference list but mine was like new w/ only 3,050 miles on it and had about every option I wanted. (I would have liked to have the...
Yeah, personal taste, I guess, but I'm not real hot on the gloss black vents, pretty much for the same reason noted above ⬆. My Mav is black and I have decided to leave the small touch of chrome there is on it and everything else added is flat black. I've found the flat makes a really nice...
After all the trouble of getting the cover and blanket out and putting them on for the first time? Of course there was no hail! Lots of rain though. All held up very well to the wind and rain, would have been pretty disappointed it it hadn't!
Got it from Amazon, the brand is Cartist. It wasn't expensive, there were several that were more and some that were much more, but those all seemed more generic "small truck" covers and I liked that this was made to fit a specific vehicle. It seems to have pretty heavy material but it isn't...
I covered it! There is some pretty bad weather coming in tonight after midnight and I don't have garage space for it.
We added a large mover's blanket over the hood, windshield, and roof under the cover. Hoping for no hail, but feel more prepared if we get some.
I have the Mabett mud flaps, the dash cubby w/ the FITS phone holder, and the cover for the area behind the left side rear wheel area. I'm very happy w/ the mud flaps and the Mrs really likes the phone holder when we travel. They are both great products. BUT... even though it's the least...
Yeah, OK, shoulda known somebody would jump on that... amend my post from "Smart Car" to '70s vintage "MG Midget" or the made in Athens, Ohio "King Midget."
:wink:
I'd say that most of C'bus has terrible traffic most of the time. When I first moved to this area in the late '90s we used to head down (around 60 miles) to the C'bus area pretty often; medical appointments and shopping trips. Over the years it's gotten worse and worse and now we make an...
