That's how you are supposed to balance a trailer, but it is less helpful when talking about a hitch-mounted bike rack, for example. Is there any reason the hybrid would have a lower weight rating than the ecoboost when you ignore trailers?
Nobody seems to be able to give a straight answer on...
Does the hybrid have a lower hitch received weight? I know this has been widely assumed, but I have never seen anything from Ford suggesting this and I don't see any mechanical differences in the hitch setup that would change the weight limit. I think it is more likely that the limit is 400 lbs...
That would make the vehicle heavier, it would not change its maximum weight rating.
That's kind of like saying that if you have a 5 gallon bucket and you pour 8 gallons of water into it then you will suddenly have an 8 gallon bucket. In reality you still have a 5 gallon bucket, you have just...
It looks like with Line-X custom colors are only available in their most expensive product. Anyone know if it is different for Bullet liners? Those seem to be brands everyone likes best. I'll just go with black if using a color is significantly more expensive.
All Mavericks are assembled in the same Mexico plant. The difference you are referring to is where the engine itself is produced. They are still sent to the Mexico plant for assembly.
Does anyone have experience with color matched spray-in bed liners? My Area 51 XLT Hybrid is scheduled for a December build and I'm still trying to decide what to do for bed protection. I kind of like the idea of a "stealth" bed liner. Anyone tried something like that before? Do you think it...
There are (at least) two different systems. Here's my understanding of it, but I'm no expert and would welcome corrections:
1. Direct individual sensors in each tire and you typically get the individual readouts. You have to be careful when rotating the tires and such to make sure the computer...
It's kind of both. The original upholstery is installed as a cover (with zippers and other connectors), so you are basically replacing the existing seat cover that goes directly over the foam.
There are videos of people doing installation themselves. For popular models you can sometimes buy the...
That's why I left the spray-in liner off my build when I finally dropped the XLT luxury package. I plan to use a bed mat regardless (to save my knees and to keep items from sliding around), so I'll see how it goes. If the bed gets lots of scratches then I can always take it in, but for now I'll...
Oil has been much higher than $80 a barrel before and bed liners were cheaper than today. The cost of raw inputs matters, but probably a lot less than factors higher up the food chain.
I read somewhere that the main factory that produces bed liner chemicals is in Texas and was damaged in the...
A few years ago I read a book about Honda. One thing that stood out was that they make their own robots and also make the robots for many other manufacturers, but they have less automation on their line than almost any other modern mass-manufactured car company. Their philosophy is that once you...
The terminology can be a little confusing
"Ford Co-Pilot360" is Ford's generic brand name for a basket of safety/tech features
All Mavericks include some Co-Pilot360 features from Ford's basket of technologies
The Co-Pilot360 package includes a specific set of extra features (BLIS...
I'm a non-Lux order and would like to add my own cargo rails, probably using L-track. My questions:
How long are the factory rails? Do they fill up the available space?
How many screw holes are there/how many screws hold in the factory rails?
What is the spacing between screws/screw holes?
How...

I'm seriously considering Katzin seats but haven't made a decision yet. I do love real leather and would prefer it to any of the synthetic products. I'm just trying to make up my mind on whether the price is worth it.
If you are concerned about the ethics of leather, it is worth noting that the...
