Let’s be careful how we think of this.

The next generation Ranger is still body on frame. Another generation isn’t coming anytime soon.

The Goose package will have windows that don’t roll down.

Maverick Raptor

Why replace it? If it’s good, keep building the damned thing forever until gas cars are outlawed, just nipped and tucked here and there. How long did they make the original Ranger all but unchanged?

I’d also like to add to that a bid for a Maverick ST. Make it the only sport-truck on the market.

Maverick Plug-In

It also feels like they’re the last two remaining “car people” here. It feels like there’s been a rotating door of writers, some of whom don’t even have cars and are more interested in injecting their activist views into everything that I’ve just been ignoring articles from names I don’t recognize.

It’s not just David and Jason leaving man. It’s the broken comments system. It’s the constant listicles. It’s the lack of proof reading, the lazy reprints/links to other outlet’s articles, the ill advised hot takes like the “It’s okay people are robbing trains because they lost their jobs” article from a few weeks…

I follow both on Twitter, I’m sure they will give updates there. Damn, this sucks, but looking forward to new project. David and Torch are the reason I have stuck around here, not saying I won’t still pop in, but damn, they will leave a big void.

Eh, I don’t see why Ford would care. They might even get some sales of digital instrument clusters out of it. It’s an upgrade, not a fix for a glaringly stupid design/budget decision.

Bonus: double the fuel...FOR FREE!

I think that you’re looking at this wrong. This means that you can also replace an Escape instrument panel with a Maverick one. 

Unless you can change the color to something besides the blue in this DIY set-up, I’d stick with the more basic look. That color would be too harsh on my eyes at night.

Drivers who get behind the Valiant: not as cheery.

Did it cheer you up this time you got behind the wheel?

Thank god they didn’t know my friend Brandon was in the car.

This type of failure is why I finally lost the old-car-as-a-daily-driver argument.

First, hopefully everyone is ok.
