  1. Ecoboost oil - 6 or 6.1 quatrs?

    6 quarts puts the level right in the middle of the range for me.
  2. Rain-X windshield washer fluid - yes or no?

    I had never heard of the potential issues. I'll have to remember this. Good to know.
  3. Upper windshield sun blocking?

    I put gloss black vehicle wrap on the windshield for a brow, kinda Nascar style. $15 on amazon. Just lined up the lower edge with the top of the camera. It's about 3/4" above the little marks (AS1?). So much nicer.
  4. Rain-X windshield washer fluid - yes or no?

    For sure. RainX is amazing. If you get caught in a heavy rain you'll be wondering why everyone else has their wipers on high.
  5. Experiments with tire pressure on my Lariat

    I've settled on 35f 32r in the same tires, just for ride quality. I do autocross the Lobo and will air up to 40f / 35r before the drive to the event, and sharp edge bumps and pavement gaps are far more noticeable than with the lower psi. Of course, the handling is sharper and the tires roll...
  6. Real world fuel mileage MPG results by 2.0 EcoBoost owners - check in here

    On the other hand, 7 autocross runs definitely does not help increase fuel economy. Dropped the average over a mpg even near the end of the tank. But it's fun!
  7. Project Farm: Rain-X vs all the others!

    I've been using RainX for decades. To quote PF.......it's very impressive!
  8. Lobo Autocross Test by Grassroots Motorsports

    These are the ones on my Lobo: Ford Maverick Lowering Springs For AWD By Good-Win Racing & Progress Technology for Maverick
  9. Maverick Lobo Autocross Testing & Handling Upgrades

    Did the fourth event this year on Sunday. I retried Lobo mode + stability off again. Made three runs with Lobo mode and stability on as a baseline and to learn the course, then three with stability off. Stability off was over a full second faster. I was shocked. Truck felt like it flowed...
  10. Lobo Autocross Test by Grassroots Motorsports

    SCCA measures track width (centerline of tire to centerline of tire), not overall width. In other words wider tires won't help. My Lobo with Goodwin springs just barely passes tech. The roof height is ~1/8" lower than the track width.
  11. What are the pros and cons of 17” vs 19” wheels?

    Wheel weight increases faster than the tire gets lighter. I know it seems counter intuitive.
  12. What are the pros and cons of 17” vs 19” wheels?

    Larger diameter wheels add weight faster than the lower sidewall tires lose weight (for every inch of diameter increase, the rim band is 3.14" larger in circumference). In other words, larger diameter wheels are heavier.
  13. Maverick Lobo Autocross Testing & Handling Upgrades

    My notes from three autocrosses this year........ -The seatbelt hack is super effective for someone of average or smaller size. It's possible to cinch yourself down so tight as to restrict breathing. The seats are OK after doing this. -Turning the headrest 180 degrees is a must. -I've got the...
  14. The Motor Oil Geek: Transmission and Gear Oil Change Interval / Frequency Analysis

    This. I'm a fan of the motor oil geek. It actually took me a bit to figure out he owns speeddiagnostics since he rarely speaks of it. It's nothing like a health influencer and AG1. lol. It is funny people get so wound up about other people wasting money on oil changes. I couldn't care...
  15. Lowering Springs - What else to change/replace/upgrade

    I lowered my Lobo with the mild goodwin springs. After the install I checked the camber and three of 4 wheels were right at 1 degree, and one of the rears was at 1.7. Still in spec.
  16. Lobo steering rack vs regular steering rack

    Dangit. Yes, MT, not C&D. I had a pile of magazines out at the time. I'll edit the post
  17. Lobo steering rack vs regular steering rack

    Motortrend winter 2026 issue with the maverick as truck of the year lists the regular mav with a 16.2 ratio rack, and the lobo with a 15.3 ratio. So almost 6% quicker. I knew I saw it somewhere...... edit, corrected mag title
  18. Lobo steering rack vs regular steering rack

    Yeah, just go do the autocross. I've done one so far this year. The one today got cancelled due to weather.
  19. Lobo steering rack vs regular steering rack

    The numbers I saw were far less different. At the time I ran the numbers and it's only ~5% quicker.
  20. Now I want one sooo bad!

    So why are you posting in the Lobo subforum at all? You could be smug in your hybrid superiority elsewhere. I'm not trolling the hybrid guys saying I'm enjoying the 60 hp hp advantage of the EB motor, and the unquestionable vastly superior handling of the Lobo package. So likewise, your...
