Most anything extra a dealer tries to pitch you is a rip off.

An interesting aside..... Many of the newer cars handshake with our mobile phone when we are in them whether we connect or not, or own the car. Often when Im testing a new press car and we start driving around in it, ads start showing up for that car on both me and my husband's devices even...

I can't believe it! I'm gonna ask my Amazon Echo if it's true. Maybe I'll double check by asking Google on my phone.

Yep normal

EV sales nationwide were at 7% of the total vehicle sales for 2023 and it's expected to reach 10% in 2024. California and most of the ACC2 states already see much higher percentages than even that.

The speed and phasing of the project have been throttled down slower, but they didn't sell off all the property or cancel their plans. First phases are still under construction and will continue to be built just not as fast. It's unfortunate for the people that don't want to see it happen, but...

Change happens. In life as a person we are either participating in change or fighting against it. I have found as a general rule life is happier if you're not fighting all the time.

Little bit of a fact check here... Ford is continuing to invest in the change over to EV's, just not as fast. Blue Oval City continues construction and models to be built there continue to be in development. The Oakville Ontario Canada plant continues its changeover for EV production for...

Not a shocker. The next-gen Maverick isn't even due until at least 2028.

Sounds like you're talking to the wrong dealership. I've had all six done, still waiting on the most recent fire recall update. The dealer even came out to my house to do two of them. No issues whatsoever.

At the end of the day I find that most people who doubt, hate, or believe EVs or some kind of science experiment generally haven't spent much time driving one. Driving is believing. Having driven several on the market today myself I am sold not because of the politics or the supposed green...

And I do find all the back and forth about EV or not, are they good are they bad, will they work blah blah blah kind of cute. The reality is that EVs are coming whether you like it or not. Industry and global governments have already made this choice and are making the changes and...

An electric Maverick would not be 25 to 30k. 25 to 30 k is base pricing for a gas or hybrid Maverick now. It would be 35 to 40 at minimum as an electric variant would be the most expensive you could get. In any case don't expect one anytime soon. There will be unibody electric pickup from Ford...

How do they identify which ones are problem engines is indeed the rub. In the absence of a scientific method to propose while sitting across the table from the NHTSA lawyers, the government is most likely to say, "You just need to replace all of them them to satisfy this issue for us." We will...

I find it interesting that the nature of the fix hasn't been fully disclosed after all this time. They know what it is. My journalist gut suspects they must be withholding it for a reason, perhaps PR narrative control if it's something that seems ridiculous which would inflame consumers or if...

Sadly almost ANY accessory you can buy for your Maverick is made in China even from American brands, just like a lot of its factory parts and pieces are. If you are still living in some kind of fantasy land where you have a choice to buy from China or not, better lock yourself up in a cave in...

My dealer came to my house and did it in my driveway in about 15 minutes. No big deal.

Nice! I too have enjoyed the Zone Offroad kit on mine and the extra ground clearance it + the larger tires offer up. With the 245 tires I used I multiply the un-modified odometer reading by 1.035 to get the accurate mileage for figuring out mpg. You can check online for the diameter of any tire...

Oh honey don't listen to that Scotty Kilmer. I'm glad he takes his foil hat off when he's on camera but damn there are better places to get your information.

The only catch is that it's not compatible if you have the adaptive cruise / CoPilot 360 that has the sensor in the grille.
