6500 miles of work

[Dieselmechanic]

The Maverick has 6500 miles on her today and has been a vital tool at the shop. I love this thing, my employee loves this thing and people are still wondering what it is. I think I'm the only Maverick owner in the county.

Anyways, yesterday I had loaded her up with a superdutys rear axle, fender and door. We've had engines, shop air compressors etc in here and she handles great.

My only gripe is that the stereo should remember what source you were in when the key was shut off, as well as drive mode.

I like seeing a truck in its natural environment hauling stuff

What's in the box? 2 years I overhauled my drywall boom truck has a Mercedes MBE4000. It came in a box just like that.

Many people think you have to have a 2500 pickup to haul what they need to haul, but most people I know with pickups never haul much more than a 300lb couch. From my perspective, most people have more truck than they'll ever need and a Maverick will do 90 % of what they need to do while saving them about 35% in fuel savings alone not including the increased cost of the higher capacity vehicle. Another thing I've learned is if you own a big truck everyone's wants you to help them move, but if you own a Maverick, ranger, S10... everyone discounts you as not able to help so... Bonus!

I was telling a friend who owns a local parts store, he used to use a S10 but now subs deliveries to workers with their own vehicles.... that a maverick is a perfect trucks, especially hybrid for deliveries. I call and order a heavy item or multiple items, i see it/them within a half hour most times, I order a key battery I see it in the same time frame. A hybrid maverick would be perfect. I think dealer work would be suited for mechanical items, not a full run of body panels, but most mechanical parts stores run parts as orders come in.

Glad to see it deliver your parts, no bed liner? Mat? Protection? Funny how most parts trucks i see don't have protected beds, I guess no matter what the bed will get banged up.

Honestly I have been so busy that I just don't have time to drop it off to get line x installed. My employee goes into to town to return cores and pick up parts with it 4-5 times a day. Today it went to Tampa and back for parts that only one dealer in the country had.
