TFL - Maverick XL vs Lariat Hands-On Video (Non-Driving)

[CoryDallas8123]

I just noticed something in this video I had not noticed before... When the tailgate is lowered you will notice a blank-off plate secured by 8 screws at the top half of the tailgate (access to the tailgate latch). I'm hope someone will design a replacement insert for this space to store random stuff like a tarp, bed net, wash kit, etc.

This thing?

Did the exhaust look really low or was it just the perspective?

Its really low and will hit on anything offroad. I'll be fixing this. Maybe this was still a pre-production unit they tested a while back and had to wait to release the video?

I did also mention that the wording wasn't changed on 1st edition and I believe another area on the order guide and I think that was missed over by mistake.

My window sticker says power tilt/slide. I think we might have a class action lawsuit on our hands if it isn't.

Just watched the video. Love the TFL guys. But damn, STOP TALKING ABOUT WATER BOTTLES! Hahaha. It’s my biggest gripe. Ford still plugging that hard.

I agree with you 100%. I wish they would stop taking about the dam water bottles.

I don't think I've ever used the tilt function on my current moon roof but yeah, add me to that class action lawsuit if so. haha.

Yep this is a great video..... I will be getting the slow open tailgate kit listed in the assy catalog for $50

I believe the screws also are for mounting the optional tailgate mat. Not positive though.

I use mine all the time..I prefer tilt over a Bird poop opening..

'Tilt' is the default for if I remote-open the windows on mine. I kind of wish it actually opened especially since tilt doesn't help if I have the sunshade closed.

YEP, that's the dummy cover; I envision accessories designed to replace that cover.

Could anybody tell if the sunroof had a tilt option in the video?

It’s a tilt & slide.

No such thing as idling with an auto start stop feature.... the engine shuts off

If you leave the AC running it will start back up, at least from my experience.

It is only automatic when you come to a stop by braking. As soon as you lift your foot just millimeters, the engine will start back up. It also won't again shut down if you brake, lift then repress the brake.

My ranger has it, I'm driving a RAV4 rental week which also has it. They work the exact same, but I will say that the Toyota restart is much rougher and jerky!

OK, the standard 12V battery is located under the rear seat of the Hybrid.. Where did they mount the high voltage battery?

That battery is located under the passenger seat (under the flooring).

That cover provides access to the tailgate latch and linkages. There would be little useful space behind it.

Or $40.25 from https://www.pfeifferwholesaleparts.com

Shipping was also very affordable. Only $15.17 for my entire order which included the All weather floor mats.
