At 85, I've had well over 100 cars pass through my garage. My '26 Lariat is a perfect daily driver and can be flat towed behind the motorhome. My concern really covers the entire auto industry and that's the dependence on software and computer chips. I own a commercial building housing a...

As a retired writer of things automotive, I recognize this piece as a space filler. No direct owner quotes nor any sales figures. Not worth the band width to link to it!

I used real aluminum pop rivets after the plastic rivets started to pull out..

Just dawned on me that my idea of "vintage" is the 1950's and 1960's. Probably era's long before most posters here were born!

I would seek advice from a shop that regularly installs flat towing equipment. There is a certain added value with that equipment when you go to sell it.

I'm using the Blue Ox base plate and tow bar on my 2026. Had an RVi3 that I.m using, but the RVi4 upgrades are better.

I had a Lincoln Navigator and put a 1949 Lincoln script emblem on the tailgate. Spent an hour plus getting the pin holes lined up perfectly.

There are only two choices for vintage wheel treatment and I doubt either are available for a Maverick. Red steel wheels with baby moon hubcaps would be my choice for a black truck. the other real deal would be Moon spun aluminum screw on discs and would look killer. Wheel offset is such that...

I have a different take. Somebody posted a thread about towing a pontoon boat with a Maverick. I question the possibility of water damage (especially in salt water) with the low ball height. Something to think about. PS..I use jacked up F-350 to launch my pontoon boat.

I bought a manual for my 2026 for $60. Worth it.

Somewhere here, I started a thread on why it was so difficult to remove a Maverick tailgate! After trying to remove mine, my advice is to save your money!

I’ve had have a dozen F-series trucks and could remove the tailgate in 30 seconds! Why not the Maverick?

I actually have two deposits and have no intentions of exercising them. My Maverick exceeded my expectations. and my wife likes it! Enough said.

I put the Weathertech visors on my truck. Cost a bit more, but better than the ones that stick on the outside on the window frames.

Except for the dealer fill up, I've been using non ethanol since I got the '26 hybrid. Mileage runs between 42.5 and 45.5. I have a 300 gallon gravity fuel tank on the property and last load was $4.50 a gallon. I have a number of Honda irrigation pumps and old cars that justify the use of...

Had to make a high speed run to Albuquerque yesterday to drop of my motorhome. Had the Blue Ox setup and RVi braking system. Took about 15 minutes to get everything properly hooked up. After reading various posts on putting the running gear In the flat tow mode, I went to page 331 in the book...

I've had a couple of Mercedes Sprinter based RV's and finding an independent dealer that will pay for the software is impossible. I paid over $300 for the MB diagnostic tool. MB independent service shops charge $150 per hour and up. Some dealers are actually cheaper. I've been a SEMA member...

Except for the dealer fill up, my '26 hybrid has run nothing but non-ethanol gas for the first 2000 miles. Mileage has been 44.5 MPG..
