Your Maverick aftermarket plans

[Hdang1980]

They're already available. I picked mine up yesterday

I saw tthem last night on their website. Kind of fast. Makes you wonder if the dimensions are the same as the Escape or some other Ford vehicle.

That’s a good question. I hope not, as I much prefer a raptor style grille with the FORD letters in front.

does the f-150 have a sensor in front like that? If so, then I think grill manufacturers can make something for the Mav.

Not sure. I do know it would only be a concern for Lariat Luxury owners such as myself, as that is the only trim and package that offers ADC.

Edit: F-150s have the radar sensor in the bumper grill. Would not be affected by aftermarket grills.

My mods are mostly cosmetic. For me it would be raptor style front grill.

I WANT!

Nice! Great company, and I pass by the building once in a while so it's convenient for me. Unfortunately, without a build date.....I'm not gonna pick them up too soon.

A thought crossed my mind about after market grills. Since the radar sensor (adaptive cruise control??) is right in front of the radiator, would that limit the aftermarket selection you can install?

Now I'm all confused. Don't know which box/rectangle is the radar sensor. In the picture, it clearly shows a logo of a truck sensing and the letters ADC (automatic distance control?) in the top grill, but the manual's illustration suggests that its the smaller rectangle in the bumper grill.

Top Pic is a lariat with acc (adaptive cruise control). The xl and xlt does not have that box. So the manual is probably correct.

I think you're right. After messing around with the Maverick build page, I believe the large squarish box in the top grill is part of the Co-Pilot 360's sensors. The rectangular box in the bottom bumper grill is the radar sensor for Adaptive Cruise Control.

Sheesh! Talk about going down the rabbit hole. I almost forgot how this discussion happened.. oh yeah! After Market grills.

I’d love emblem overlays like what all the Subaru people like to do.

I’m a graphic designer so I’ll prolly take a crack at some concepts I have in my head. I like the bullhorns Mav logo, but I was thinking of some tweaks to it.

I got them for my first and only Subaru, but haven't applied them yet... It's only been 8 years since I got them, lol. A Ford variant would be fun.

The Adaptive Cruise Control radar is the one in the grille. The black and white image looks like the placement of the ACC from a Ford Escape. CoPilot 360 (and the standard collision avoidance) uses the camera in the upper windshield and radar sensors in the corners of the rear bumper for BLIS.

I like the Splash graphics.

Thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully the placement of the sensor won't be a big hindrance for after market grilles. I read some folks who relocated the sensor on their f-150s had a hell of time getting it to work again. I'm not that handy and may decide against after market grilles.

I saw something similar on the road today, but it was on whatever the F150's equivalent to Velocity Blue is. I ordered Velocity Blue and didn't like the way the black-on-blue looked. Really want to find some good graphics options.

haha. I have those on my Impreza. But I mean overlays for the emblem like this:

Speakers are always first

 

[PapaDave]

1. Good detail/wax. 2. Tint windows to match. 3. Possibly speakers, depending on stock sound quality. 4. First Aid kit with tow straps and tie downs. 5. DIY bed cover. 6. Look at alternative tires replacements. 7. Bed mat and floor liners. Later I might consider a 1 1/2" lift, Ford tune, bed or roof rack.
