Wow the lighting really affects the shade of that. When I built my area 51 rig online it seemed as dark as the first photo, but since have seen the truck out in the bright light and its quite the difference. I still like it as long as it doesn't come off as a powder blue. Black wheels will help a lot too. I might paint my steelies blackGot to see maverick in person and looks better than expected!
What wizardry is holding the bike in place?Got to see maverick in person and looks better than expected!
It’s a kind of magic
I like the witty replies but was hoping for a photo or description explaining how the bike is secured in the truck bed. I know about the fork mounting options but my bike has thru-axles so it's more of a process to remove the front wheel. I'd love to keep the bike intact during transport for other reasons too. I'm guessing Ford will sell a rack for the Maverick that does this and maybe they demoed it at this show.
that is why I also linked the business insider link, it shows you how the system actually works with pictures and everything
I checked the links before replying to you the first time. Thanks for posting it but it doesn't provide any description or photo of a bike rack except for the fork mount one. The photo of the area 51 Mav at the beginning of this thread shows a mountain bike sitting pretty with both wheels still on. I'd love to know the method.that is why I also linked the business insider link, it shows you how the system actually works with pictures and everything
looks to me like a simple strap around the down tube to the bed corners inside? Look at the downtube where the decal is, then you see a chunky strap. It’s likely not held super securely as it’s for show “bikes go here”
Yeah maybe. The front tire might be tucked into some sort of mount too.
