I think it looks amazing with the black removed. I'm really starting to get tired of this vehicle design cue of matte black trying to make the B-pillars dissappear into the glass tint. Its fine for the "4 door coupe" styling, but designers let's stop this garbage in trucks - along with this...

Without a service bay setup from the ground up for this work, complete with a squareness-check custom built fixture for the bed after removal, its a good way to get in a money-pit of excessive labor hours when customers trucks come back claiming bad alignment, back latch not always engaging...

Another article showed a picture of the divot formed into corner of the Maverick integral boxed rail, deliberately formed there for a crumple point. Here is my guess for why Maverick totals so easily from a rear-end collision: the bed is rated to haul 1500 lbs! I believe the sheetmetal boxed...

Actually an LS swap Maverick would fit. But Ford would never do it, because...

There is a massive difference between the heat & performance tradeoff penalties Mazda designed 2.5L hybrid engine, & the turbocharged ecoboost 2.0 You could double the 2.5L oil change interval with little effect, but unless you drive the EB 2.0 like a grandma, none of the forced induction motors...

We hybrid owners outnumber the EB owners & if 2025 is any indication, all we need is gas prices to increase from taking down all the Venezuelan shadow tankers, and we'll have hordes of new buyers coming to the only truck where you can haul 1500 lbs & still get 40mpg 2025 Tacomas new...

Awesome!! Next time at Moab there's a fun little trail called the "Funnel" dont worry about the ratings youll be fine just head out & send us videos.

"You'd think they'd go the EV SUV route as a first exhibit of this new big thing." Lets think of why not: Money Talks! I am pretty sure that Ford sells more trucks, than SUVs, with F-series the best selling vehicle & Maverick now the 2nd best selling compact truck. Ford projecting they will...

Thinking vs reality are 2 very separate things. China commie culture is steal 1st develop 2nd, & always cover up defects for a quick buck. Ive worked in the automotive manufacturing industry over 15 years, Tier 1 suppliers could order from China, if you have Chinese management you'll sooner or...

Just the OEM Continentals it came with. Yeah I know, from the way people talk about tires there's no way these basic Contis should be this good, I tend to buy low of the midrange tires so maybe I don't know what performance tires sre reallt like, I might have seen more of their limits if the...

Dammit you guys stop normalizing trading in new vehicles if the 2026 tow package is 5k lbs you're making me think of trading my 1st new vehicle 25 hybrid AWD from same in 26...& I don't tow but I wanna know I can rent any size boat & trailer if I need to. That's the view from my lot aka very...

AGM batteries dont need to be vented & dont vent gas, at least not in any noticeable quantity

Well Friday I had my 1st Upstate New York drive through mountain roads, in fog, on a skating rink of ice - and didnt even realise I was driving on a sheet of ice from the fog. These pics are the last miles broke through the fog & realized I was driving an ice rink, & I was going the speed...

A pass-thru = structural changes, new crash & rollover certification. Likely impossible without a permanent truckbed rollbar for structural rollover rigidity. Then there's relocating electronic controllers from the back wall, water ingress protection, etc. Replacing the rear glass with a...

I would be interested in how the Coleman trailers do with Maverick, they are priced really nice and seem to be better than average reliability for normal campground camping.

BYD doesnt come close to meeting US NTSHA crash safety testing, the BYD traction battery fires are significantly higher than US EV fleet averages from Tesla, VW, Hyundai, & Ford.

I mostly freeway drive but I try to stay 65mph and below & my average at 14k miles is 39.3mpg I was nicely at 43mpg average then cold weather. Even if you got the same mpg as conventional, the drivetrain will go 200,000 miles easy with fluid changes & highway driving, no clutch plates to wear...

And its not just the line voltage levels, lithium-ion is extremely reactive when holding a charge, much of the cost of Western EVs is the shock dampened armor cladding to prevent explosive fires, lithium-ion burns similar to magnesium, hot enough to flash water to steam explosively and the...
