  1. Giveaway! Quick Survey – What Matters Most When Choosing Floor Mats?

    For me, the order is fit, durability, appearance. And specifically on the appearance, I would be impressed with a set that retains it's good looks even after being in the vehicle and being cleaned. My experience says that appearance can start out good but go down quickly with even light use.
  2. Maverick is a perfect geezer ride for me.

    C'mon Glen, you can't fish with a sealed can of worms! 😜
  3. Maverick is a perfect geezer ride for me.

    This makes me wonder at what age someone becomes a "geezer". I have an idea it's kind of like how "old" is always older than the person applying it to someone else!
  4. Desert Sand Maverick on Bronco Sport Heritage Wheels

    It would need white somewhere else on the truck for the white wheels to feel like they belong. Here are some AI generated ideas:
  5. Glad we aren't driving Durangos

    You're preaching to the choir on that one! My 1981 had that inline six and of everything I've ever owned is the one I miss the most.
  6. The experts said it - so it must be true

    "While it's not uncommon for publications and reviewers to have differing recommendations on vehicles, one truck most journalists seem to agree on is the Ford Maverick..." Read More: https://www.slashgear.com/2126168/best-full-size-trucks-in-2026-according-to-data/
  7. Glad we aren't driving Durangos

    Oh, it had a BENCH seat! I'm gonna cry a little...I miss bench seats. :sadface: LOL!!!
  8. Auto Start / Stop mandate repealed!

    So as I understand it, this "feature" was developed and implemented not as a result of a mandate but rather as an engineering solution to improving overall fleet level standardized emissions tests where the engines sit at idle for some period of time as part of the test. It created a way for...
  9. Rams CEO believes people don’t want compact truck in the US .

    OHHH, If we're going to talk Wolf, here ya go and for good measure we'll say this is in reference to the Maverick! I ain't got no diamonds I ain't got no gold But I do have love To satisfy your soul Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all you good women...
  10. Rams CEO believes people don’t want compact truck in the US .

    Yes, and anyone who lives long enough gets to say a similar kind of thing about how the current cost of this thing (whatever it may be) is more than they gave for their first house. So, when you make that statement be sure to include a few angry emojis and maybe some bizarre references to your...
  11. Okay, maybe there's something to this detergent thing?!?

    Yes, the Costco near me seems like it's always swamped including the line for gas. This is another factor that makes it somewhat less appealing to me personally. I'm also at a place where I'm trying to minimize "stuff" in the house so I don't know if we would buy that much or not unless we were...
  12. Okay, maybe there's something to this detergent thing?!?

    Great info! This sounds great for someone who puts more miles on their vehicle that I do. $2.90 a gallon is pretty accurate for stations near me Costco near me is only about 12% cheaper We'll keep the 5% off for the card I have an EcoBoost so I only average about 20-22 if I'm careful This would...
  13. Mini truck wars!

    Ok, that's fair. I'll answer your question by starting with the acknowledgement that the market has chosen and 4 doors has won this debate - pretty much no way around that. And it's likely that your examples are typical of the way most Americans use their vehicles. I get it, I just don't have...
  14. What’s the ONE piece of advice you’d give to a new Maverick owner?

    I would say to follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance at least as a minimum if you're looking to minimize long term issues. If, however, you believe that doesn't go far enough, then you're not going to hurt anything by going above that minimum so feel free to do so. The other thing I...
  15. Mini truck wars!

    I'm curious about your statement on this. Why is a single cab a non-starter for you? Passengers? Interior cargo? I'm curious because I know they have fallen out of favor but I would personally have no issue with a single cab - in fact, when I was shopping I considered the single cab F-150. So...
  16. Okay, maybe there's something to this detergent thing?!?

    As I've said in other posts, it's been a long time since my high school auto mechanics classes, but as I understand it the adjustments for a difference in octane is primarily a matter of leaning the fuel/air mixture and retarding the timing which the computer can do automatically - this would...
  17. Rams CEO believes people don’t want compact truck in the US .

    Part of the problem with designing new products or even updating existing ones in any substantial way is people will say they want something but when the reality of it is in front of them their actions don't always align with that. I believe the success or lack of it for the Slate will come...
  18. Okay, maybe there's something to this detergent thing?!?

    Ok, I also didn't realize that it was a regulated thing nor that it contributed to a price difference. Good info!
