I question that.
Although "on paper" your FX4 has only like 1/4" more ground clearance, the Maverick appears to have much more low hanging items vs a Ranger, and those items are much less durable.
I highly doubt that would work well in practice. Just my guess, though. I imagine it would be faster and easier to simply clean inside and outside separately. K I S S
I guess the charging port could work to plug in some accessory item? But that would have to be mounted somewhere - you can't just hang something charging off that insert via a USB cable. Any longer cable would be a great tripping item getting in/out also. And if you were using it to power...
Someone will always have a bigger/better/faster/etc thing than you.
Buying what they have won't make you any happier. You'll just find another area of lacking.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
#2 - don't carry the 1
2024+ Rangers get a 5' bed only; all Mavs are 4.5'.
I'm getting 72% worse MPG than my FWD hybrid Mav; but at least gas prices have gone up enough to make it an even 2x expensive to fuel each month
:-/
Other than that, the Ranger wins.
F HP, I want MPG.
Toyota blew it by not going for higher MPG with hybrid trucks.
40 MPG in a Maverick made it special. 0-60 was never the reason people bought hybrids.
Give me a mid-size truck with 35 MPG and I'll be fine with a 0-60 time under 10 seconds.
Agreed the compressor should run during defog settings, but for normal air flow, I want that control. Would be nice to have that as an option in the menus. 95% of drivers don't care / won't even know.
Humidity sensor inside the cab. It will turn on the AC compressor to prevent window fogging. Annoys the f outta me (because when I want AC, I'll turn it on), but luckily with FORScan you can disable the sensor (basically tell the computer it isn't there).
Just running across this post and wanted to add/clarify - the Tekonsha Prodigy wireless brake controller can simply be "unplugged" when towing with a vehicle that has a hard-wired brake controller. The Prodigy is plugged in-line on the trailer. Take the 7-pin from the trailer, out of the Prodigy...
