And I take them seriously at it by not spewing BS and information that posters like you are going to tear apart and say they're going to fail. I'm going to give it until they release and see what the product is like. It can't be any worse than buying another Maverick which is probably going to...

Ford also has tons of defects and a record year of recalls, I think more than any make. My Maverick hybrid has blown a transmission at 15,000 milea, And there's an extended warranty on the engine which may or may not blow up, the front drive shafts and the heat exchanger. They've removed the...

People are way too concerned about this. Unless you are Elon Musk and can get away with bold direct answers that often aren't true and never held accountable to missed dates of delivery, anyone else in the world would be quoted and grilled until the end of time with not living up to their...

That's actually not a bad thing for people who never get under the truck and if the dealership is actually honest. The thing I always find interesting is that there's plenty of work to be had on vehicles if someone trusts you. It's going to break. It's going to wear out. Keep the customer for...

When you look up that Ford additive it says is specifically designed for Ford and Lincoln vehicles, often used in limited-slip differential applications to reduce noise and chatter, with a 2-year/unlimited-mile warranty. Or there is no record of it existing or it's a breakin oil Lol So I doubt...

$21.95 for an oil additive on top of expensive, full synthetic that's already packed with additives. For giggles, I would ask them what product they put in so at least they know you're thinking about what they're doing And see if they can come up with an answer. I can't really think of a Ford...

I'd rather have vague answers than a man standing up there and giving hard dates that are never met and hyping just to push up a stock price. A new product launch is going to be fluid. I'd rather they get it right than have the worst year of recalls ever.

I've been thinking about this and I too grew up with RWD cars and snow tires. The difference here is that it's a 50/50 weight ratio and you don't have a big ass engine sitting on the front and rear drive wheels With basically nothing over them. The motor unit is sitting on the back wheels...

I agree with you there and most phone data plans are very generous with the handset and less so with the hotspot. So just get an XL sized phone and skip the tablet. The traffic redirect heads up are like the most useful thing about maps.

It's pretty much the same thing with any Android phone hotspot. Only it would be way less expensive to get a generic Android table with GPS and dedicate it as your head unit.

In Google maps you can download areas of the country to the memory of the device when you have wifi also will save data from loading when you have cell data. You won't have live traffic data, but you wouldn't have that with a Garmin unless it was a sat link or something. So you could just use a...

Cheap android tablet with Google maps? Use the hotspot on your phone.

What would probably make more sense if you reeeealy wanted to do this was to come up with some way the flat tow vehicle charges the flat towed EV either by trickle charging it constantly Or maybe only load the alternator while braking Or decelerating or come up with regen braking on the tow...

Few things come to mind: You're actually going to be dragging quite a bit and using fuel in the motorhome to generate the battery, Wear and tear and tear on the EV tires. And the biggest one is that you are not in the vehicle If something starts going wrong and then you're just towing a ball of...

Another thing to consider is that ICE engines and transmissions aren't without failure out of warranty. And the price of a blown engine or a transmission is probably getting pretty close to battery replacement. In most cases the battery warranty is longer than the ICE warranties that are usually...

Starting price $67k which is a non-starter. The depreciation in the first year will be more than what a new slate costs.

I can't stand these AI videos. Completely inaccurate or partially inaccurate. It's just bad information and poorly executed. I guess someone somewhere is getting some clicks out of doing nothing. I always try to give them a thumbs down. And comment in the comments that this is an AI video that's...

The truly dumb moment came when they started building ladders into tailgates so that you could climb into it... Let's not even consider actually using the bed to load. What they need to do is build a ladder into the grotesque grills to check your oil.

Irks me that every truck has a mass of American style nose on it. The Maverick tries to but it's just small enough that it can't be massive. It's like let's see how non-aerodynamic and a death trap to pedestrians we can make this thing. Bigger the better!

I also have a hybrid Maverick. And I pretty much fit what you're saying. It's a great appliance and I would buy another one, But I don't really like four doors, And I would rather have a longer bed? Most of the time it's just fine. I think I would get a slate and keep the Maverick and replace an...
