I installed the mabett wheel flares and mud guards on my 2025 white Lariat Hybrid and they really made the truck stand out. I live in Asheville NC, so I added the mountain decals to the side bed of my truck. I also attached the AWD and Hybrid tags to the tailgate and my daughter gave me the dog paw tow hitch cover in honor of the family dog. I have only driven my truck 1600 miles, but have really enjoyed it.

You don’t need running boards. The truck sits low enough to the ground like an SUV. I bought the Bushwacker Fender Flares. I had them painted the color of my truck. I wanted them to look like it was part of the truck, not an add on.

I installed TrailFX A4 Step Bars for my wife. I also installed both the Mabett Fender Flares and the Mabett Mud Flaps.

I installed both the Mabett Fender Flares and the Mabett Mud Flaps at the same time.

I agree that Mabett Fender Flares look like they belong on the Maverick. :cool:

I chuckled when I saw running boards. One of the main reasons I traded in my 4 x 4 Silverado for a Maverick is to get away from using running boards or step rails. What is the purpose of the running boards? Is it just for show?
I was thinking the same thing. I literally slide sideways to get out and my feet are already touching the ground. I would think the chances of stepping on these and getting hurt would be greater than NOT having them....Unless I/we are wrong and they are just for "show" Lipstick on a pig I guess.....:crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup:

I like the idea of running boards. Not so much to step on but the fact that they stick out enough to protect the sides from door dings.

I vote yes to the fender flares. Mine are the Air Design ones, though.
