Is there any sleek solution to carry long items with the maverick? I will rarely need this so ideally something that does not impact too much the mpg or removed quickly and of course keep the pickup looking good.
I see different ideas around but I never had a pickup so asking. I feel the roof is too short to just use foam blocks..

The United States DOT (Department of Transportation)
The cargo can overhang the truck by 4 feet in the rear, 3 feet in the front, and 4 inches on the truck’s sides.
Some states have additional restrictions, while others have higher-than-average overhang limits – a few examples being:

- Arizona – Allows a 6-foot rear overhang
- Colorado – Allows a 10-foot rear overhang
- Louisiana – Allows an 8-foot rear overhang
- Oregon – Allows a 5-foot rear overhang
- Pennsylvania – Allows a 6-foot rear overhang
- Washington – Allows a 15-foot rear overhang
