Flexbed Mods to the XL Maverick

[Bry@n]

Purchased the bed side cubby’s, bed upper d-rings and the front bed floor tie downs. Bed cubby’s use a 10mm socket, the d-rings have a T30 screw head. The bed floor tie downs use a t35.

easy install with maybe 35 minutes all in. The rear bed tie downs will be another day since Ford lost the screw I bought.
You will need to remove the rear bed d-rings to install the cubby. It’s just easier. Remove the cover in place first, then the d-ring. Install cubby with door off, then reinstall the d-ring and out the cubby door on. The bed tie downs I just sent with a 3/8 impact. Could’ve threaded the holes but the screws will self thread the hole for you.

I plan to add the cubby to the driver's side on my XLT. Thanks for the part number!
I already added a 12V receptacle and dual USB ports where the pull outs are on both sides.

Excellent, can you provide links or part numbers please?

This is the panel. I cut off the connector holder on the back side of the Maverick pop-out and drilled to mount the 12V and USB.'

I wouldn’t be judging what I can afford by the Maverick. I have a F150, Bronco and a few Suoerduties also. . Just didn’t see the value of going to XLT or Lariat in the Maverick platform for my needs.

You beat me too this. Had a friend 3D print the plates but the wire adapter had too small spade plugs to attach correctly. Used same amazon part as cheap parts. So still a work in progress for me.

Nope. Joking about the XL. Judging the pile of Snap-On.

@EastFlorida: the button on the usb plug question? Does the usb stay on when 12v power returns on if left on, or do you have to press usb on each cycle of 12v power. Want to charge a usb rechargeable lamp whenever truck is running.

The button can turn off the USB - simple on/off button. Power stays on with the truck off until it shuts down on it's own. I saw a post about how long it stays powered, but I don't recall how long.

I just got an XL and didn't realize the differences in the tie downs from the higher trims. I'd like to at least add the upper tie downs near the end of the bed, but the holes aren't threaded right? I am not super handy so I don't know the best way to do this. I've read you need to thread with a tap, but then I've also read self-tapping bolts work? what's the best way?

I think I listed the stuff above or at least it’s on the site. The bolts do self tap. Just use the correct Torx bit and send it.

Thanks I appreciate the reply. I went back and looked at everything again. The only thing I'm not quite sure is which screws to buy for the upper tie down ring as I may only do those. I was going to do the floor bed D rings also, but $66 each currently seems a bit much.
