Cool Maverick feature/behavior which the Tundra did not do: the radio stays off during a remote start. The Tundra would start playing the radio, and if my phone was nearby, would end up playing whatever podcast I had queued up while I wasn’t even in the truck to hear it.

The Contis they put on my Maverick have an OE tread depth of only 8/32”. I’m sure Ford saved a few cents on each vehicle by speccing them that thin (most similar tires are at least 9 or 10/32”), but I doubt they will last as long as you’d expect.
I’m a high roller. Mine came with Michelins. Though my RDX came with continentals.

This was my Friday off (9/80 schedule), and a nice day, so I was sitting on a bench outside enjoying the day while waiting. My boss called me on my cell phone, and while I was talking to him, the tech brought the Town & Country back around to the front. And, of course, my cell phone connected via bluetooth to the minivan, and I lost the call on my cell phone. A bit of a PITA, to be sure.
Weird. My 2008 Dodge doesn’t turn on the radio with the remote start.

And, yes, I still have the Dodge. I'm honestly not sure it will ever leave me, as long as it is in one piece.

There are a bunch of things we do buy in bulk there, mostly paper products for the house and dishwasher detergent among a few other things. Then we take them home and give about a third of it all to our kid in Boca so she has it for her apartment. Luckily, the BJ's is so close to the house or it wouldn't be worth it. There's a Costco where Abacomike goes buts it's a lot closer to his place and out of the way for us. Plus, the parking at our BJ's is so much better plus the gas pumps are out of the way as not to disrupt the flow of traffic unlike a the Costco. We'll try it for another year and then see where it goes after that. There are some tremendous savings on certain things we do use a lot of and by splitting it with my kid, we're all happy.

Now I remember that saga, what an ordeal. I imagine good riddance to the ML!

It does have a cool little feature that if its below 40 (I think) when you crank it up, the drivers side seat heater and steering wheel come on.
In a similar vein, one of the features I enjoyed on the TSX and Accord I had was holding down the unlock button and it would drop the windows and open the sunroof. On a hot day just doing that as you approached the car made a difference.

In general, people love an underdog. Love a winner. Hate a dynasty (see Patriots, and for much of women's college basketball, my Lady UConn Huskies!)

I knew that'd be an easily identifiable fix. The other items were a burning smell that seems to have been linked to a loose oil cap and a minor rattle in the passenger door which I think they addressed. But the most bothersome thing I had was a shimmy/vibration at higher speeds (above 65 mph). They agreed there was a slight vibration and recommended a balancing of the wheels. I'm fine with that since it's inexpensive, but I did point out that I had snow tires put on a month ago by Discount Tire, and they would have re-balanced the wheels at that point. The vibration was present before that and remained after that, so I am not hopeful that another re-balancing of the wheels will address the vibration.
The wagon is lovely other than that vibration at high speeds. It's not something I would expect at all from a Mercedes and definitely contrasts with the X5, which was silky smooth.
I'll keep you posted on results after I pick it up next week, but if anyone has thoughts on things that would cause the vibration at higher speeds, do share. I feel it through the steering wheel as well as through the seat of my pants. And it was noticeable from the passenger's seat as well.

Mediocrity is the worst place to be. Ask any Steelers fan if you think I’m wrong. The Steelers have been living there for years, yet the national media thinks Tomlin is a good coach. After all he’s NEVER had a losing season, which they constantly remind us of. So, maybe they should come and live here.
“The standard is the standard”. That is a Tomlinism and he’s proving it but the folks around here don’t like it. Believe me, mediocrity gets old.

From what I’ve heard, Discount Tire is a competent outfit so if they balanced your tires it shouldn’t be a balancing problem but I’d still want someone to double check the rims to see if they’re bent.
If the dealer balances your tires and you still have a “shimmy”, you shouldn’t have to pay for that. Yes, please let us know the outcome.

3.75 years in with my wagon, still no real complaints other than that you gotta pay to play.
Knocked out a couple of mods on the Maverick. Enabled traffic sign recognition via the forward facing camera and also installed the vinyl lettering on the tailgate. I think the chrome AWD badge kind of clashes with the black lettering. Should I remove it or try to find a black badge?

It all worked out in the end, but you can imagine what kind of complications there were in selling to a buyer in France.

My tendencies to let my mind wander may suggest otherwise, but for the record, I am very excited to get my wagon back.
