@FrankM It looks like you have a stubby antenna. Did you actually need to change that to clear with the rack in the highest position? Would it at least clear the shark fin in the lowest position? Considering the elevate rack plus a clamp-on for my 13" inflatable boat

When I lived up in the mountains I ran Cooper Discoverer M&S, usually studded, on all my fleet vehicles much of the year, and they were always great. Truck looks good too.

Is it SAE/DOT, or equivalent Euro/Japanese approved lighting, or does it come with lens covers? Up here in particular, CVSE (Commercial Traffic Cops) and some RCMP love to give tickets for uncovered "Off-Road' lights. I certainly like the profile of the bar however, and it looks like it would...

I'm shopping for a 120v corded high volume pump for my 13' inflatable boat right now, with the intention to run off the bed plug. I've been limited with my previous trucks to the little 12v cig-plug air pumps, and they don't move much volume before overheating. I'm excited to be able to...

I keep my keys and wallet (Ridge style) in there.

If Ford did a Borderlands themed Mav, I now know what it would look like. ;-)

Being able to fully open my door in a parking lot is even better! lol My old F150 was never so convenient. ;-)

I posted this a while ago in another thread. There "Can" be a difference... Testing Top Tier Fuel

I actually like the Ridgeline, but it's definitely a mid-size (noticeably bigger), and significantly more expensive than the Mav. Not going to get any cheaper either...

Certainly a unibody style based on the images with the integrated bed - I can't imaging they would produce a unibody on a subframe in that price point. But you are no doubt correct about several points, the Mav has a huge head start, decent reputation, and proven Hybrid platform they...

I'm not that interested off the top, but I do appreciate more competition. The only practical competitor to the Mav was the Santa Cruz (soon to be discontinued), and while it's a slick little ute, it sacrifices a lot of the utility of a "traditional" compact pickup. I'm glad that another...

I get the point from a financiers point of view (don't necessarily agree to unapproved surveillance), but ultimately wonder if they are really that necessary anymore? If the truck can do over-the-air updates, and wireless connectivity for starting/locking and system monitoring, the servers can...

Welcome aboard. I've also got one in space white with the blackout package and stripes. Interesting colour, probably more grey than white, but shifts a bit in the sun.

I like your cutout board solution - simple and clean. I was thinking of something similar, but maybe incorporating a cheap locking wheel chock for my big KTM. And for the general audience, even with a big adventure bike, I wouldn't be worried about the tailgate. As soon as you pull the straps...

I traded the Explorer for my Mav partially so I could haul the Bike on some nationwide cross-country trips without having to book a month off and bring 3 sets of tires. lol A southern US coast-to-coast ride is in my future, with New Orleans, Tail of the dragon, and the Florida Keys on that...

If you ever find yourself in Calgary Alberta, look up the Powderface Trail just beyond Bragg Creek. That's the decent back down to Sibbald Creek Trail. Connect it to Spray Lakes road from Kananaskis to Canmore, and you have a wonderful 50/50 loop you'll remember forever. ;-)

This is a good side discussion, as the entire line of EcoBoost engines from Ford have shown huge potential for tuning, with big gains available if you are willing to further sacrifice your economy and emissions. What is yet to prove is how much tuning could be applied by the next gen of boy...

Biker Wave - 👋

I wouldn't necessarily support that statement. It's application-specific. The impaired efficiency of the EB (mileage/maintenance) is as much a hindrance to some as the small power increase is of benefit to others. If I never tow or need sub-5 second 0-60 times, that excess power is 100% a...

I agree with your summary. Clearly Ford is choosing to focus the hybrid Mav on economy, and that's it's market separator, but hybrids drives have much more potential as both high performance and severe duty platforms. My examples: 1. Ferrari are planning to transition to solely (or at least...
