Barring any catastrophic failures or wrecks, I plan for 10 years/250K, which ever I make it to first. That's what I would normally say, but Toyota's announcement on a Mav competitor has piqued my interest. I might jump ship if I like what I see once it's released.

It certainly rides a lot better than my previous two body-on-frame trucks. I had the opportunity to drive the Mav and my old 2012 Nissan Frontier back-to-back before I got the Nissan sold, and man. The difference is night and day. I didn't realize how bad the ride in the Nissan actually was!

It's certainly not a perfect system. I get annoyed at it when I start the truck with the key and I'm trying to just turn the AC on full blast before I go do something else and it feels like it takes forever for the controls to appear.

I've stopped to talk to quite a few Mav owners out in the wild now, and it seems the consensus on the dash is heavily dictated by age. Owners over 50 tend to complain about the touch screen and not like it. Younger folks seem to be perfectly fine with it. I'm in the latter group. After I took...

Did you purchase the Ranger new? Any major issues with it? What was the final mileage?

holdup. You towed heavy loads with a Prius?

I can see both sides of the window thing. My 1990 Mistubishi Mighty Max has crank windows, and while they work flawlessly, trying to roll the passenger side window up or down from the driver seat is annoying. Especially if you're actively driving at the time. Makes you really miss that magic button.

Oh no! Poor multi-billionaire corporate Walmart! They're really hurting for that $50 box of air filters! FFS people, get off your high horses. If this was a local mom and pop shop, sure, but this is Walmart. This is the massive corporation that literally puts the mom and pop shops out of...

Yeah, Mav's in general seem to be holding their value pretty decently. I'm very much a "never buy new vehicles" kind of guy, but with the Mav, I was looking at $22K-$24k for a used Mav with 60K+ miles and no warranty, or $30k OTD for a new 2025 XL. I bought new.

I might need to try that... hahaha

Old geezers is right. Every time I see a Mav in the wild it's some old guy driving it. I think I might be the youngest Mav owner at a staggering 33 years old.

For some reason most people don't sit down and read the owner's manual front to back when they purchase a new vehicle like a lot of us on here do. 😂

You know, ford should really make the tab a little bigger and emboss "FUEL DOOR RELEASE" on it. Would stop all the questions from confused owners.

I always wanted a blue vehicle, but never owned one. When I was in the process of buying my velocity blue mav, I almost bought an eruption green one instead. It's a damn good looking color!

Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff you can monitor including transmission temp, and EGR temp if you have the EcoBoost.

You can get a current gear readout with a scanguage III if the Forescan codes are a dead end. I have one in my XL and it works great.

1 year and 15K on my 2025 XL. I use it to haul my dirt bikes to races almost every weekend. No issues here.

I got the AWD EcoBoost, and I'm completely happy with it. No interest in a hybrid, but I would be interested in a small EV pickup if one comes out from a reputable brand and not a startup. (like Slate)

Correct, I see the same 70 for park, 60 for reverse, etc. but when in drive I see the actual gear numbers.

Didn't the Frontier get a complete refresh in 2022? Not sure how that counts as dated.
