    Quick review of my 2022 Ford Maverick

    I’ve honestly been window shopping (kinda, maybe) RLs over the past week or two. I’ve been offered $3k over what I paid for my Maverick and the RL is a slightly bigger, much more refined and higher quality Maverick. I may pull the trigger if I can find the right one.

    Quick review of my 2022 Ford Maverick

    Yes, my Ecoboost has Sport mode. But I don’t really care for how it hangs on to gears and rev hangs needlessly.

    Quick review of my 2022 Ford Maverick

    Maverick is new but the engine, trans, and chassis are not. I’m hoping that’s worth something.

    Quick review of my 2022 Ford Maverick

    My understanding is probably not. The Lariat has the acoustic windshield but I think that’s it. I had a Lariat owner agree with my assessment on one of the FB pages.

    Current gen Honda Ridgeline quality (and water leak issue specifically)

    Sooo, if you want to know, I'll tell you. But sometimes ignorance is bliss, lol. I will simply say that just because you haven't noticed the issue doesn't mean there isn't an issue. This is exactly why I want one. So much utility and storage in a vehicle that rides fantastic and will still haul...

    Current gen Honda Ridgeline quality (and water leak issue specifically)

    Hi all. Calling you G2 RL owners (and other knowledgeable folks) out of the woodwork. I very much want a G2 RL. I think the 21+ body style looks fantastic, it's just the right size and has a ton of awesome storage for the family, and man oh man is it smooth as butter. I dare say there is not...

    Quick review of my 2022 Ford Maverick

    I had this same recommendation from a FB group member. He said that sound proofing mat installed on the rear of the cab and floor helped tremendously. I have heard of these materials but have no knowledge or experience and just haven't followed up on it yet. Regarding the transmission, I'm glad...

    Michelin Defender vs FS Destination LE3...are the Michelins really worth the extra cheese?

    Also, just saw the comments on the BS Ecopias. I think these are what came stock on my wife's 19 Highlander. They are pretty quiet and smooth but with 14K miles on it, the fronts are well below half tread. I will likely rotate them and then replace with Michelins before next winter if it makes...

    Michelin Defender vs FS Destination LE3...are the Michelins really worth the extra cheese?

    Follow up. Are Michelins worth the extra cheese? Yes, I have concluded that they are. At least, the Michelin Defenders are. The Michelins have turned out to be the best riding and best noise handling tire of the three that I have experienced on this truck. Did they turn the Maverick into an...

    Quick review of my 2022 Ford Maverick

    Hi all. So I posted a different thread asking opinions on replacement tires for my 2022 Maverick and someone asked for some thoughts on the truck. So here ya go. **EDIT - Dang that turned out much longer than I had planned...sorry. I ordered my Maverick at the end of June (before they started...

    Michelin Defender vs FS Destination LE3...are the Michelins really worth the extra cheese?

    Hey again BITOG peeps. I’m sorry to zoom in, start a thread, and disappear. I’ve had a lot going on and wanted to get some things sorted out before I posted again. A lot has happened. So I went ahead and had the Firestones installed. I was underwhelmed at first sight. I knew the highway tires...

    Michelin Defender vs FS Destination LE3...are the Michelins really worth the extra cheese?

    Thanks for the input everyone. I already have an appointment to have the Firestones installed and I believe I’ll just stick with it and give them a shot. The only real complaint I’ve read about the Michelins is noise and that’s a big factor for me. The biggest complaint I’ve heard regarding the...

    Michelin Defender vs FS Destination LE3...are the Michelins really worth the extra cheese?

    Hello all. Long time reader, first time poster. Lot's of great info on this site! Looking to replace the factory all-terrains on my 22 Maverick with a quality all-season highway tire. I have pretty much narrowed it down to the Michelin Defender LTX or the Firestone Destination LE3. The...
