  1. NJ Residents buying from Chapman Horsham - No Front License Plat Bracket - What bracket did you purchase?

    This is definitely strange. I ordered my truck from Chapman Ford in NE Philly and it came with the factory front license plate bracket already installed with the Chapman dealer advertising plate? I’m in NJ also and they were aware of this at the time of ordering. I’d agree with the other...
  2. Why so much negativity

    There is nothing wrong with people airing grievances. That’s how society used to work to make change happen and better themselves in my opinion. Take a look at this from less of an individual perspective to a collective perspective. Complaints are important because manufacturers and dealers...
  3. Maverick XL AWD problems?

    Drivetrain-wise, mine has been rock solid. I’ve owned it since new (see sig) and the IRS rear combined with the AWD system is certainly really nice year round. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Like I told others on here before, I fully expected to walk away the day I bought my truck...
  4. Maverick Thoughts?

    I have a 4 year old (was 2 when I bought my truck) and my Maverick has been great for trips, even carrying two adult passengers in the rear sitting beside him in his car seat. Been to the beach, amusement parks, long trips to visit family, no complaints. It’s not comfortable for adults in the...
  5. Sad Maverick Owner. So mad at Ford...

    Lawyer. I had a similar situation happen with a a Corolla years ago. It was repairable though and lighter damage ($1800 worth). My insurance was never involved or contacted, dealer paid for both the repairs required and the body work required 100% themselves. All I did was refuse to pick it up...
  6. Are our headlights so bright that people are flashing us? I own a 2023 XL hybrid

    This was my issue as well, the auto high beams seemed to be incredibly slow to react to much of anything and were often quite useless in normal driving other than for randomly turning on to annoy people. Same problem in a 4Runner I have as well, it’s more of a gimmick than a useful feature in...
  7. What is this button ?

    Definitely not stock/OEM to my knowledge, maybe it’s a switch for rear fog lights since it was exported?
  8. Bug Deflector in "cold" weather

    I installed mine in a garage early spring in 2022 from a different manufacturer, I would not recommend installing it in freezing or cold temps outside at all. Maybe others have had better luck but I have not with automotive or double sided tape in cold weather, it just doesn’t stay pliable and...
  9. Reflective tape on tailgate for visibility ideas

    I use the reflective letters only (black reflective tailgate letters) along with LEDs, seems to work fine. I have done the experiment with reflective tape on a Tyger Hitch Step I installed on my truck. Just a small strip of 3M yellow reflective tape to help people be aware when parking. Made...
  10. Wheel Lock "Goldilocks" -- McGard vs Gorilla

    I had great luck with mixing locking lug nuts to protect spare wheels on my wrangler (hot theft item in Philly) and gorilla locking lug nuts on my Mustang. For the Wrangler, I was actually questioned by the police one time because they didn’t understand why my Wrangler was the only one in my...
  11. Lasfit LED

    The only Lasfit LEDs I had an issue with in terms of reliability were the switchback turnsignal LEDs, those I had for a bit over a year and the left turnsignal one stopped working immediately one day. I have Alla LED turn signals in there now, no issues and been fine for 6 months now but do miss...
  12. Who HASN'T experienced the dash rattle/rubbing?

    I have a trifecta: Headliner buzzes/rattles directly behind the sunroof, especially when the shade is opened. Pushing up on this tends to stop it. Noticeable at highway speeds and completely random, does it in warm or cold temps. I'm doubtful I'll ever solve this one. If the rattle is a creak...
  13. Thoughts on long term storage?

    Nice! And that’s good to hear it’s a joint combined policy (I have the same with my insure and homeowners as well. I’ll probably have to play the switch game as I’ve been with the same company since 2017 and they were fine until last year when both my property insurance and car insurance jumped...
  14. Thoughts on long term storage?

    Already set on the clunker, daily driving a 2014 Mustang I had for 7 years at the moment. Basically I’m running this car until it’s no longer legal to do so and it’s got a lot of life left (53k on it) so it should be ok for awhile. The battery tender has helped keep my truck out of deep sleep...
  15. Thoughts on long term storage?

    With the Honda, is your wife on her own policy or a joint policy? It may be my insurance agent being lazy as I tried that twice to lower the annual mileage and the best I was told is they can set some vehicles as primary or pleasure, which is like a $2 difference between either selection, 7500...
  16. Thoughts on long term storage?

    I don’t think you can unless ATCO gas stations near the former drag strip have it possibly but I haven’t been there so I’m not sure. Those classic vehicles I had (mostly F body Trans AMs and Camaros, one modified Grand Marquis coupe) were stored in upstate PA with non-Ethanol gas but that was...
  17. Thoughts on long term storage?

    That’s good to hear, I have stabil on hand for other equipment but it probably won’t sit that long, maybe 2-3 months tops at a time. I’ve been leery using it as I had so-so success with it in the past, seemed to do better on older V8s (old 5.0s and 5.7s from Chevy seemed fine) vs some more...
  18. Thoughts on long term storage?

    Nope definitely not, I love it, just overprotective for it at the moment and not really driving it much so I’m considering long-term storing it and seeing if anyone has done it recently with this truck and has recommendations.
  19. Thoughts on long term storage?

    Updated above, the post…posted before I could finish typing lol.
  20. Thoughts on long term storage?

    Anyone long-term store a Maverick? I currently drive my Maverick maybe once a week or every two weeks, depending on the need. It sits mostly in a garage on a battery tender really until warmer weather happens when it’ll get more regular use. I originally intended to daily the Maverick but...
