I own a 2017 Mazda 3 and it has more road noise than any car I've ever owned. Even online reviews of the 2017 Mazda 3 the road noise was noted. This is my 3rd Mazda and I love the way it drives and handles, but if I had done a freeway test drive, due to wind and road noise, I'd have passed on...
Ordered a basic Hybrid XLT in mid Oct. Got a order received email form Ford on Oct. 21st. Around Nov. 1st. I called the dealer to change my order to a 2.0. Dealer said I most likely will not get another received order email from Ford after that change. Also dropped the spray in liner at that...
Looking at the speeds I drive 85% of the time, 50 to 75 mph, caused me to rethink my choice of the Hybrid. I feel driving at those speeds the advantages of the Hybrid are lost. Besides, I feel the loss of MPG 29 to 33 at highway speeds is not to much to loose while gaining nearly 60 hp and...
Sure hope other cap manufactures will offer Maverick bed caps soon. I find the ones Ford offers in the $3,500 to $4,000 price range are far over priced. Bought a very nice color match cap for my old Ranger a few years back for only $1,500 from one of the better known makers. It had the...

My original order was for the hybrid. Thinking it over, I do very little around town driving and over 80% of driving is done at 50-70 mph. Then much of that other 20% is 40 mph. I have not read a exact range of speed where the gas engine takes the load from the electric. Looking at it that...
I have towed a lot of years and have used trailer brakes where needed. To costly to upgrade to the package with the Mavericks trailer break. The trailer been used has no brakes. Guess I'll wait to after my first tow to see how it handles. Thinking about 50/50 on the Hybrid or Turbo. Leaning...
I live in FL where the land is mostly flat. I have a HYBRID on order now. I drive locally, but many of my trips are to Tampa and back, about 60 mile round trip. I also drive into the hills of GA, NC, SC, and Va. I will be towing a 1,500 lb. trailer at times. Around FL, the HYBRID should do...
