  1. Max Towing Adventure - 4,200 lbs - 285 miles - 16 MPG

    The appeal of the 510, if set up properly, is its handling. If you were in your fox body and we both entered some twisty canyons you wouldn't see me again until I decided to stop at an outlook and have a sandwich ;-) I've owned a '69 Chevelle, '68 Bronco, '09 911. The 510 is much much more fun...
  2. Max Towing Adventure - 4,200 lbs - 285 miles - 16 MPG

    For those interested in the 510: My dad bought it new in '69, it was my first car in high school back in the late80's. I beat the day lights out of it (Jumping railroad tracks like an idiot, rallying it, drifting it) and it never failed me once. I figured it deserved to get a refresh, so my dad...

  5. Max Towing Adventure - 4,200 lbs - 285 miles - 16 MPG

    Haha well that's embarrassing, surge brakes...of course. The last thing I towed was 10 years ago when I had a Tacoma. It was a 24 ft enclosed trailer with electric brakes, anti-sway, and I had a brake controller. You could stop that thing on a dime. On this trip I definitely felt a massive...
  6. Max Towing Adventure - 4,200 lbs - 285 miles - 16 MPG

    When I was looking at buying a Maverick back in 2022 I knew the day would come and I'd probably have to tow my old Datsun somewhere once or twice. I figured the 4k towing package "should" be just enough to get the job done. Today, I towed my car approximately 290 miles (L.A. to Modesto) and...
  7. Front suspension noise "Click" sound when heavy suspension travel over speed bump or pothole 2023 Ecoboost

    Ha, I have a 2022 and I used to get a click out of the front left of the truck under the same conditions as the OP. One day I noticed it wasn't happening anymore, and promptly forgot about it. I'm now realizing that the numerous oil changes I've done over the last 34k miles must have "fixed" it...

  10. Need suggestions for weather-stripping the tailgate

    I watched a million YouTube videos and bought this tailgate seal kit. I comes with two sizes of adheasive seal. If I had to do it over I'd get a second roll of the LARGE size to help bridge some of the large gaps. I haven't had any issues with the adhesive failing, I did a very extensive paint...
  11. RetraxPRO XR - 1.5 year thoughts

    In short: It was expensive, but I like it, a lot. Pros: -Very sturdy, heavy gauge aluminum, locks securely. It's been great being able to stack it full of gear/ tools/ groceries and not work about anything getting stolen when I'm running multiple errands. -Smooth rolling action. -Been great...

  13. how to jack truck to put it on jack stands.

    Here's how I raised the truck yesterday to rotate my tires and ceramic coat the wheels: -Jacked up front of truck at factory pinch weld lift points, using slotted rubber pucks. -Placed front jack stands under front main bolt where lower control arm meets subframe (same spot as in previous...
  14. how to jack truck to put it on jack stands.

    I've jacked up the truck a few ways. First way is jacking up the front, by putting the jack pad under the main bolt were the front lower control arm meets the subframe/ crossmember. This contact point is the bottom of a thick boxed tube that ascends and bolts directly into the sub-floor of...

  16. Visual Comparison of Different Tires / Tire Sizes on 2022+ Maverick

    The is great, thanks for putting together! The stock height + 245/70 R17 or 245/75 R17 with the 4WP 1" front/.75 rear lift kit for the Bronco Sport (if they'd fit without rubbing) seem to be my top consideration.
  17. 🔺 Price Increase: 2022 Maverick XLT, Lariat, Options & Packages (For Orders Placed Beginning 12/27)

    I just spoke with my sales guy and he was very apologetic. I don't think anyone was trying to get anything over on me. I definitely got caught with bad timing. If the senior sales staff hadn't all contracted Covid I would have gotten the Priority 10 on the day I first submitted my order and I'd...
  18. 🔺 Price Increase: 2022 Maverick XLT, Lariat, Options & Packages (For Orders Placed Beginning 12/27)

    My deal is a bit weird. I went to my local dealer on Dec 23rd and a young sales guy took my order. He said he couldn't enter it into the system that day because all the senior sales guys were out sick with covid. Butt he said he could enter the order and get me a Priority 10 placement when they...
  19. MRT Hood Struts installed

    Yeah I appreciate economies of scale, but the observation "it's too expensive" sounds like an armchair quarterback who's never really played a single game of football. Sure they've WATCHED a lot of games, but not played in any. However If that person would offer up an example of another...
