Casco, Right in the heart of all the Mass-holes and New (OLD) Yorkers. Nothing but old men in Motor-homes they cant handle and soccer moms in SUVs with the same issue. I am loving my new to me 15 Lariat. Blind Spot and cross traffic detection are my new best friends. Anyone else near by have forscan and a HS-CAN capable adapter. Amazon Prime lost mine somewhere in KY... -.- I would love to have trailer brakes for tomorrow.

Any opinions on Berlin City Ford (Berlin City / Gorham, NH) vs. Ripley and Fletcher (in Norway) for service?
I need an oil change and I can't be bothered to do it myself, plus I think I may have an exhaust leak that I'm expecting should be covered under warranty.

Just moved back to Bethel from Montana in August. Question: how many of you are running commercial plates on your F-150s?
I didn't see the commercial truck FAQ before registering (it's at https://www.maine.gov/sos/bmv/commercial/faqfarm.html), and anything over 6k GVWR is supposed to be registered with a commercial plate, even if not used for commerce. If I'm reading the fee table correctly, it's only a $2 fee difference, so no big deal there, but I never got asked about GVWR when registering at my local town office (and they just put the registration through as a passenger car).

So I was planning to get vanity plates anyhow and decided to order a commercial vanity plate, partially to see what would happen (whether the registration would magically change over or not). I did end up with commercial plates, but registered weight is now shown on the registration as 6,000 pounds. Since I am (barely) under that in day-to-day usage, I'm gong to let that sleeping dog lie for now and see if I can manage to get the registered weight upped to at least GVWR before I have to renew next September.
