They turn up for sale here regularly. I sold my steelie's here when I got custom wheels for my XL.

If the steel rims bug you replace them now. No need to wait until you need tires. I replaced mine a week after I bought the truck. It was $650 total at Discount Tire. Mount the tires and tpm's already on the truck. People will buy the steel rims just to mount snow tires. I sold mine here...

Tariffs getting squared away with a new deal far more likely than shuttering plants in Mexico/Canada and building new ones here in America. Automobile manufacturing plants cost billions, not millions. The big three, Toyota and many others have plants in Mexico and Canada. They are not going...

If you haven't pulled the trigger yet, I would recommend the Motorola Moto G Power 5G - 2024. Here's the deal. The G Power was a $300 phone when released. Practically every spec on the Moto is better than the Samsung A16. Because the Samsung was released as a $200 phone. Today the G Power 5g...

I had the back up camera update done March 17. I believe I was the first person at the dealership to have it done because the service tech didn't believe the software update was yet available. I was in for routine service and asked them to double check as I had read it was just released. I was...

$1200 is awfully high for after market heated seats. At least around here. More than one shop will do heated seats it in this area. So if you can shop around. Places that do custom sound systems, remote start and obviously those that do upholstery in cars should be able to do it. I had Rostra...

Never a single regret. Ford made the decision for me. I could not abide the funky Coleman Cooler white dash/door inserts and the orange trim that "helped me find/determine the function" of the dash vents, door handles and cell phone holder. (That's roughly what the lady said in the 2021 Ford...

It definitely helps keep the intake valves from getting carbon build up - and that is no small thing for consumers. But port injection is better at low engine speeds and direct injection is better at higher engine speeds. So combining them gives an engine the best of both. Toyota has been doing...

It's interesting that this discussion has been more about Consumer Reports than the Maverick. I've subscribed to CR I guess 40+ years now. For the first 20 years it was extremely helpful in selecting products. Now it it should be one of multiple sources for reviews and guidance. A wise consumer...

Good point. The annual extra costs of registration does eat into savings. Yes. Indiana charges more in Registration fees for both hybrids and BEV's. Hybrid/PHEV is an extra $74, BEV is $221. I understand and accept the need for road funding, but I find the extra tax on hybrids a bit...

We will be in the market for a new car (wife's car) in the next 12-18 months. She likes small SUV's. Six months ago I thought a Plug In Hybrid would be the way to go. Then I started doing the math. Right now, the price difference on a pure ICE versus hybrid version of is typically not a lot of...

I'm sure others have mentioned it, but the lack of cruise even as an option on the 2022 XL was pretty annoying. I did the Rostra thing. But it should have been either standard equipment or at least an option. Even dealer installed option. Ford clearly recognized their mistake since the next...

No, I doubt the Maverick will be more than a Ranger. The Ranger used to rank highly on "most American Made" charts but has slid off. It's assembled in the USA but the parts come from all over the world. I'm having a hard time determining what percentage of the Ranger's parts come from Canada...

According to mama google search, the Maverick earns the distinction of being the least American made pickup sold in America. And the exact quote is that only 26% of the parts for the Maverick are made in the USA and CANADA. They count Canadian made parts in that 26%. The Hybrid's engine is...

Great explanation. But this is a Ford Maverick Forum. The Hybrid Maverick looks to be largely produced in Mexico. The only major made in America part I can determine is the transmission.

I think it's awesome that your truck is greater than 75%. But everyone should realize that American Made Index (AMI) INCLUDES parts from Canada. It gets really difficult - in the context of our current topic conversation - to determine just what percentage is only "made in America". it's...

A good and timely reminder that Ford was the only US automaker that has not needed a bail out of some type. As for country of origin, that is pretty tough. You have to dig. Right now the pick up truck with the most percent of American content is the Honda Ridgeline (70%). Even Tesla's (ugly)...

A few posts have suggested the tariffs have been postponed to March 1. That appears to be untrue: Although you never know what tomorrow might bring.... ***************************************************** Reuters reported earlier on Friday that the White House would push off tariff...

I agree. But the purpose - and the best outcome - is for everyone to feel good about the agreement(s). With international trade agreements, nothing good comes out of one sided agreements.

I'm still kind of believe it when I see it. Or at least believe it when it's still a thing 30 days from now. The issue with 47 and these tariffs is simple. Has anyone read "The Art of the Deal"? Trump sees business transactions only in a "winner/loser" perspective. Which is maybe ok in real...
