Has anybody ever had issues with the bed storage cubby geting stolen?

[MikeS1942]

So weird question here but bear with me for a second. The Maverick is my first truck and I'm not used to an open bed. I'm used to a car or SUV where it can be locked up tight. Have you ever had your bed storage cubby cover/plate stolen?

I live in a rural area and don't have to worry about that but sometimes I head into the city for a costco run or a doctors appointment and there are people who will take anything thats not tied down, and that cubby doesn't lock so it can be a target for the right person. What they'd do with it, I don't know.

Again, stupid concern, I know. I'm just looking at the possibilities.

OK you confused me---you said the cubby got stolen. I'm thinking someone took the whole works out of the bed/fender. It's the door you're talking about. Oh yea--if it ain't nailed down it will make it to marketplace. Side bar hold-downs as well. If it's a Lariat, better invest in a hard tonneau or you may find a slashed tonneau in the morning with things missing. Ya gotta love this world we're living in, but it's all we got.

I agree with this, got one for my truck immediately after purchasing it. Don't have anything super duper important in the cubby as the combination can be a chore to deal with since it's small. I just have it for peace of mind!

I actually had worried about that so I purchased one of the steel locking replacements. Not that I keep anything in there that’s worth anything, but I just didn’t want the cover stolen.

So just out of curiosity myself. For anyone that doesn't carry anything it that cubby, or anything that important, why not buy a replacement if/when it gets stolen? Rather than buying one ahead of time and having a random extra one you probably won't be using again not trying to be mean or anything just curious. As a guy realizing that I've kept/collected too much crap in my small garage why have extra stuff taking up space?

Add a lock to your existing cubby door for around $10

If you have the desire and a little bit of DIY skill. You can replace the lock with a keyed lock for around $10

I wonder how many owners don't realize that the cubby has a false bottom?

Mabett doesn't make this locking cubby door and yopu can find the identical unit on either Temu or AliExpress for a lot cheaper.

My ‘24 XLT only had one cubby so I added another. They are very handy.

I have had my 2022 for over three and half years now.
I did NOT have a tonneau cover for the first year and a half.
Never had a issue.
I do keep my spare bungee cords and other tie-downs.
I would assume most persons don't even know it's there.

Yup thieves don’t know about it yet.
But when I make a trip to the city my cubby door, shelf, and contents go under the back seat.
And are often left there until I notice it, days later.

I wish! Yes definitely handy cubbies. Did you just order from Ford or online somewhere for the other cubby?

I got my 2nd Cubby, from (online) a dealer down in Florida...

It’s been a while but I believe I ordered from ford and picked up at dealer. Then installed a power center into the right one and carpeted both

When the Maverick got off the boat in Curacao, I opened the cubbies much to the surprise of the customs officer, so they appeared pretty “safe” to me!

Just got my Maverick Saturday and was wondering if and for what people used it for.
