Well I should explain that patients wasn’t the biggest factor here. My car is dead. Bad cylinder. I had access to back up vehicles but that recently went away. Me without a vehicle for anymore than a day or two starts to add up very fast. Time is money. I have more available work then time. As...
there are definitely much better options for mileage with the ford eco boost and the Chevy 2.7. The issue I see is with the midsize trucks. Tacoma, rangers and canyons or whatever. Who buys that truck when it’s not all that much more for a full-size or far less for a maverick. They all also get...
I can tell you as a former mechanic that this statement can be true. It isn’t always though. From what I experienced it was usually just certain models or engines ect. Certain things would go wrong and they would get them dialed in and usually fixed under warranty. Sometimes a motor would come...
I understand the reason for the wait. I can’t however understand how they can’t plan out their parts flow better to get the people first in line their trucks sooner. You won’t get your hybrid lux but then someone may get a Lux EB. Not a good look
So in the end it will be you vs ford. At the very least they will make it expensive enough for you that it will make it pretty much not worth the hassle. However I can’t see this holding up long term because regular people sometimes have legit reasons they need to sell vehicles. So who wants to...
First off where are these 1600$ maverick’s? Second I was looking at these because I’m an electrician and in in and out of the bed constantly when I’m doing side work and don’t need 5k worth of stuff to disappear from my bed. Being able to open the cover without opening the tailgate is a major...
you’re right I know it’s not crazy complicated to build something like this but some people were being ridiculous and making it seem way easier than it is to package a product and put it on the market. My guess at why they cost what they do is because there’s probably not a lot of people that...
You think existing machines just magically prints these things like your 3d printer? It’s likely small batches mostly by hand or there is some tooling that was created to adapt existing equipment. Equipment that was likely expensive. I’m sure the margins aren’t bad but shoot them an email and...
A lot. For instance you would have to have the right length strut and the right pressure. develop the tooling to build the brackets or find someone to manufacture them for you. One is going to require a likely large order of parts. They have to get painted, this is not done with rust oleum. They...
the secondary latch is a safety. In case you fail to latch your hood all the. Way or the primary fails. Your hood won’t fly up on the highway. In the 80s and early 90s the secondary hood was a pain in the ass. That being said lots of things were pains in the ass about cars in that time period.
