Dont think you can fit the heated one in XLT, is just for the higher trim level.

It is part of the XLT Lux package. I have it on my Maverick.

I was just thinking to get the leather one and have it installed at the dealership to not loose the warranty. The steering wheel itself costs around 500 bucks but I am sure you can negotiate the price and might cost another 2-300 to have it installed.

Steering wheel swap is an easy DIY. Hour tops. Save yourself the money

I have a tonneau cover ordered. I need to tint front windows. I'm toying with ordering the hood scoop... yes I know it is non functional.

I bought the tailgate assist and a good dash cam.

You should just use a USB drive! You can load them on as mp3 or mp4 files and fit tons of CD's on one thumb drive. That's what I have done. It works in my Focus so I'm pretty sure it will work in the Maverick.

I do have a bunch loaded on my phone via Double Twist, but frankly, I don't have the time to download 800 cd's onto an MP3. My guess is I will probably just go on to some online radio stations like deliciousagony.com or Youtube as well as Pandora.

All weather floor mats are a must have, tint the front windows and a tonneau cover of some flavor. I’ve been thinking really hard about getting the fake hood scoop, and maybe the tailgate wing…. Other things on my radar are a small lift and some proper off road tires, but those are a year or two out.

All my cars have a flashlight…since this one has about 8,000 plugs, it will have a rechargeable flashlight and a flood behind the seat. Another first for me, they are not Maglights. Ordered those, tie downs, a roto molded cooler (birthday present) and a trailer hitch cover for my favorite ball club so far- just need the truck. Then I will be set.

I know. I had a porsche and had my independent mechanic swap the steering wheel. He did it in less than 10 minutes while he had his phone on his ear. My only concern is the warranty, therefore I dont want to do it myself.

I have at least 400 CD’s loaded on ITunes over the years….but quit using CD’s in current auto yrs ago…A $10 flash drive will hold 500 songs, EASILY. Simply plug the Flash drive in the USB port and songs display on the screen. In my case I bought several 8 GB Flash drives for $2.35 each (AliExpress) and organized my Flash Drives by Pop, Country, and Classic.

Literally an hour ago copied 350 songs to a Flash drive in no more than 2 or 3 minutes. Once I get a Maverick i’ll play with radio Accessories option, or CarPlay to verbally advance and search for music..on IPhone.

I assure you that once you start using Flash Drive(s) it is so much easier and faster to move to a next selection of music, versus a slow CD separate by Artist. Another advantage of Flash Drives is they never get scratched like CD's.

Tie Downs are good stocking stuffers for all of us.

A dash cam. Especially if your area hands out driver's licences at the bottom of every cereal box.

That area would be South Florida no offense to South Floridians but absolutely on the dash cam mine shoots video front, back and inside the cab found a good one on Amazon for under $100 bucks and tail gate dampener please.

This is the bag I bought for behind the rear seat:

And this is the bag for under the rear seats:

Both fit perfectly in their spots. I just need to find the right toys to fill them up. I already have a multi tip screwdriver, Flashlight and Multi tool pliers in the bigger bag, more to come.
