Pretty impressed... 3 people with a fully loaded bed w/ bed rack. Through the Grapevine with rain and strong winds.

Flawless +700 mile trip

 

[dumbcomputers]

First oil change @ ~3k miles (~2k ICE). Got the shorty factory oil filter that people have been reporting, replaced with 910S. Using a Mityvac only got ~5qts out topside and the rest out the bottom. Still like using the Mityvac as it's a cleaner process.

Hmmm - no comment about OEM filter being on super tight - does that mean it came off about normal?

Maybe 25 build process had an improvement!

Thank you for showing hybrid owners how to tell how many ICE miles they have.
Well - if the trim supports it.

And curious about the other cars in that snowy parking lot - were you noticing how many were AWD for getting out of there, or wondering which ones would have trouble?
Pretty cool looking trip!

Yup! It was pretty tight... Lol

2WD cars there weren't moving without chains. One car was in a pretty bad accident, not sure what happened but if I had to guess it slid off the road.

I like everything you have done to your Maverick! And your pictures shows why the Maverick is such a popular truck!

I'm waiting for the rain to stop so I can clean mine up!

That is pretty nice. Can you stop it anywhere you want or at defined points if you needed it at 1/2, 3/4 depth, etc.?

There are two pre-defined points, one is about half way open and other about 2/3 closed.

An EcoFlow River 3 (286Wh) power station + EB300 Expansion Pack (286Wh) totaling 572Wh just barely fits under the rear seat!

I'm thinking about running an AC extension and DC output from the EcoFlow to the rear of the bed. That way The EcoFlow will be out of the elements and not take up bed space. It can will be recharged at ~400w with the factory inverter.
