there are several threads on how thin the paint is, based on them and this, mine will never see an automatic car wash. I kind of learned my lesson on my Silverado. I used a brush type carwash several times and it took the paint off the top of the cab where it crowns to go to the windshield. Now...

I am basically lazy. When I am ready to get out, I just turn the key off and it automatically goes into park, also when stopped and you open the driver's door it goes into park. These are two features you can only get with a dial. It took me about 3 to 4 weeks to develop the muscle memory and...

I have not had any luck finding anything about this. So I thought I would reach out to the group. I have an ecoboost with copilot 360. This has happened twice. As I am driving down the road, both times 2 lane rural highway at 55 mph+, not using cruse control. I get a series of 5 quick beeps. No...

I have a Mac with a 4k tow package that I pull a 1700lb Rove with. When I ran the numbers through the tow calculator, with gear and passengers I am close to the max safe limits. If I ran the calculations correctly, the only way I could safely tow 4k is if I am the only one in the truck with no...

To complement the "Area 51" color

I started driving 51 years ago with "3 on the Tree", went to "four on the floor" finally had to go to an automatic (manual tranys are hard to come by these days.) The relearning of muscle memory of each change took about a year. The hardest part was learning not to try to push on a clutch that's...

When I was young, I didn't have the money for this type of adventure. Now, I just don't have the energy. Somewhere in-between I likely had the money and energy, but was too busy to realize it. I am happy for you. That looks totally amazing.

I don't disagree with you. I have never seen a Velocoraptor (whatever you called it). Having owned an Element, I can spot them a mile away. However, outside of the dozen or so in my area I almost never see a wild one. There are two Ridgelines in my subdivision, again those are the only two I see...

Thanks for the link. I purchased one with the coupon from the link. So, the hundred bucks for the printer has turned into - a silent mother board, upgraded feed assembly, a CRTouch. (the reason for the mother board, after many tries and compiling my own firmware I just could not get the CRTouch...

Question: I am not sure of the need for the FMDA25. If the Roady BT connects via bluetooth, do you need (and can you use) the FMDA25 instead of bluetooth, so you can still use CarPlay or AndroidAuto for maps? otherwise, it seems that if you are using bluetooth with the Roady BT the FMDA25 is...

I will likely install a Sirius radio for just the reason you outlined. Your phone is dependent upon a cell signal and out in the boonies is 'fly over' country, there are a lot of areas where I drop cell signal and cannot listen to SiriuxXM.

It is my understanding that for a contract to be valid, "consideration" must be given on both sides. The dealer is giving you the opportunity to by a truck and you are giving them a deposit. I think that gives the buyer slightly better leverage in making the dealer sell you the truck when it...

If the repair is done correctly, I would not get too excited. Major failures in the first few hundred miles are generally isolated to that component and should not be an indicator of the quality of the overall build.

I am in the process of buying a Travellite Rove camper. According to my dealer travellite is working on this for the Maverick. He said the factory rep told him they should have something by 2023. While I haven't picked my Rove up yet, I am very impressed with the build quality. I worked on RVs...

I don't even like social networks. I have always told people I would only join an anti-social network (therefore, I am on reddit) But, I am on this every day. Looking at others ideas and mods, keeps me coming back. Just trying to figure out how I am going to mod my truck (when I get it) without...

I was scheduled for 2/22, rescheduled for 2/28. Received notification last night.

With an approximate dry weight of 2,000 lbs, the Scamp is well within limits for a Maverick with a 4K tow package. I am in the process of purchasing a Rove lite 14fl. It has a dry weight of 1510 pounds to pull behind my XLT with a 4K tow package. I hope I don't even know it's back there. I am...

I never did receive an initial email from Ford with my build date, order number or VIN, even though my dealer said I had a build date. However, I did get an email yesterday with the VIN and order number stating it has been delayed a week. Had I not received the email from Ford yesterday, I was...

I finally have confirmation from Ford on a build date!! My build has been delayed from February 22nd to February 28th. I never did get anything from Ford on my first build date. But, now I have a VIN and order number so it seems real.

Thanks for a straight answer. My wife does not "do" digital music. She is an old school 72 year old and is in charge of music on long drives, so a good cd player will be necessary when my Maverick shows up.
