If modern vehicles had real gauges that would tell you the temp of the coolant instead of just a little needle or gauge that simply stayed in the middle until it was too late I might not worry about it. But given that modern "gauges" tend to act like everything is OK until its too late and then...
2025 Hybrid XL AWD owner here.
i specifically was looking for a hybrid AWD with 4K tow, the only thing I was willing to compromise on is color (got lucky, green is my favorite color).
IMHO modern cooling systems when it comes to things like transmissions are barely adequate. I don't ever plan...
I'm sure they'll hurt fuel economy but I want to trade the Contis (when they wear out) for a set of BF Goodrich Trail-Terrains. Hopefully they'll hurt fuel economy less than All Terrains and they are severe snow service rated. Also I won't sweat when I need to leave the pavement.
Thanks although my plan is to buy the more expensive stainless steel beauty rings I've found. Rather have metal than plastic, the plastic caps I bought for my old leaf seemed to lose their finish rather quickly.
I wonder if anyone reading here have tried painting the center caps from the...
So those who have put trim rings on the current steelies (which I'm thinking of doing when I get new tires) did the trim rings work ok with wheel weights on the outside of the wheel?
I noticed Ford put the wheel weights on the outside and when I had the local tire shop do a rotation/balance...
I had been pleased enough with mine I wasn't super concerned about the update to the AWD but it's nice to see that they've decided to push it out. Living here on the Colorado Plateau (also high desert) some winters we get nothing and other winters you'd swear we had become part of Colorado...
I've got a hybrid XL 4k tow pack and I feel like its perfect for my needs. I think the tow package is a great addition because it gives blind spot monitoring and lane centering. If forced to buy today I'd order the same thing.
However IF the Lobo was available with 4k tow, that's the only way...
General TIre offered Grabber AT in the red letter theme but as far as I can tell, no longer does. (I think it started at some point during the Fast and Furious franchise.)
I go 20 miles to work and 20 miles home. This is due to a 10 mile drive for my kids sitter and a 10 mile drive to work after. Aprox 40 miles a day, Monday through Friday.
I purposely use surface streets instead of hopping on and off the interstate like I could do. I get 40 to 45 mpg on each...
Most of the sensors are overly sensitive and ready to freak out at the drop of a hat (front camera, windshield fluid level...
Stock tires are a joke and only accomplish being "black, round, and cheap"
Trying to figure out why the fuel economy in the hybrid improves so much in the first...
I got the "YitaMotor" floor mats on Amazon for $85, I see they are currently $95.
They are front and rear with excellent coverage going up farther under the pedals and under the front seats (rear) than I have heard that many other brands do.
How many versions of the Primacy exist just for OEM requirements?
I've noticed that (at least for a while) GM was putting Michelin tires on every Buick and GMC that didn't actually have a bed on it.
I've noticed that Continental is pushing the ProContact TX HEAVY for OEMs. Its OK for your...
Is this a big deal for our Maverick's as far as "hurting" them? No.
(Been running Eco88 as an experiment in my hybrid and still getting approximately 40-41 mpg around town.)
Will it hurt my little Breaks and Scrap'em on my decade plus year old little push mower? Yes and it's annoying because...
