    That's me, practicality. Would I use the bed? Idk. It's there. I'm sure it would be useful for some stuff. Like you, I use a trailer in occasion. I have access to a 5.5 x 10 utility trailer.

    2026 Ford Maverick Platinum

    I purchased a Lincoln Corsair Reserve in in 2024. It's not ridiculously expensive. MSRP was $50,200. I paid $46,800 X-plan pricing. I have no need for a new vehicle. But the Corsair and Escape are going away. I have some features not found on the Maverick, Escape, or Bronco Sport. I have LED...

    2026 Ford Maverick Platinum

    Who would buy this? I've seen and read rumors of a 2026 Ford Maverick Platinum truck. Platinum trim would be above and beyond the Lariat trim. So far, I never bought or owned a Maverick truck. I've considered a Bronco Sport Badlands. I currently drive a Lincoln Corsair and it's going way in...

    1.0L Focus oil choice

    I had a Ford EcoSport SUV with the 1.0L engine. I researched this engine. When it first came it was a marvel and won numerous engine awards. Turns out it's notorious for the oil pump belt and tensioner failing. Before this engine even hit the market Ford worked directly with Castrol oil in...

    Valvoline Restore & Protect

    Is this marketed as a new oil engine? Or is this marketed a high mileage engine oil? I wouldn't see how it would be better than any other quality oil with the detergents that are in them. If this oil truly does clean then I could see how this could be beneficial to an older oil with oil and...

    Expert recommendations for 2.0 ecoboost

    Just digging up an old post here. Just days ago I took delivery of a brand new 2024 Lincoln Corsair. This vehicle has the 2 l EcoBoost. I'm just looking for some oil recommendations. Is there any reason why I should run a 0W30 as opposed to 5W30? I will likely go with a full synthetic. Castrol...

    Expert recommendations for 2.0 ecoboost

    Any good quality oil will be fine as long as it's 5W-30 spec or OW-30. Ford is particularly fond of Castrol oil of not using their own Motorcraft oil. Keep in the OEM oil of Motorcraft isn't even full synthetic. You can get it full synthetic. Ford doesn't require a full synthetic oil for their...

    What 0w16 are you using in your newer toyota?

    Girlfriends RAV4 specs OW-16 oil. Is there a lot of difference between 0W-16 and 0W-20? The owner's manual of her vehicle specs out 0W16. I'm sure it's for CAFE standards. It is also clearly written in the owner's manual that you may use 0W-20 oil as a substitute if you cannot find 0W-16. I...

    Been a while. I'm revisiting my original post. What changed with oil composition? I've taking a liking to this Mobil 1 Truck & SUV oil. As mentioned in the threads I'm using this in a EcoBoost engine that specs 5W-20 or 0W-20 as an alternative recommendation in extreme cold. What brought me to...
