Purchased this XLT 2.0 EcoBoost FWD, what questions do you have?

[clippedwings]

Have you looked yet to see what access to the oil filter is like? Thanks

Can you post up some photos/report on the fit of the 4knines cover? Also - did you get a front passenger cover?

I don’t have the cover yet, I will report when it comes in thought, I didn’t get the front passenger cover because of the seats integrated airbags and my dog isn’t allowed up front haha

I ask everybody: Any idea of the actual size of rear speakers?
Also, how does the audio compare to other vehicles?

Honestly not sure about the actual size, they sit at head level in the back though so the sound is goods in my opinion the audio is excellent, it’s not a Bose system but compared to most vehicles it’s on the high side

That would be my preference to purchase another lower bumper if it is separate from the upper bumper. I fear that it is two different fully molded bumpers requiring repainting of the upper bumper.

The painted upper portion is the same on all models, FX4 or not.

The lower panel is all that differs between standard and FX4 models.

The lower panels are not cheap though, interestingly enough, the FX4 lower valance panel is $10 less from Ford. Still too expensive if you ask me, by the time you buy this valance and the tow hooks, you could have just gotten the whole FX4 package for less money and you'd get all the other FX4 goodies.

If you were just wanting to make openings for Fog lights, sure, the FX4 panel would look cleaner, but I'd just cut away the openings and add fog lights if it were me.

I am 5’10” and can sit behind myself comfortably, the concave portion in the seat adds an extra few inches for leg room

A good amount of room in the backseat, would be fine for a couple hours. I did notice the Active/X seats had better padding than the cloth but not a reason to run out and get a Lariat -)

To me, the tow hooks and skids are the only things worthwhile on the FX4. The Maverick ain't no rock crawler, so I think I'd be better off buying a non-FX4, a towing bridle, and a shovel.

The drive modes are a significant reason for me to opt out of the FX4 and instead get a regular AWD. I'd rather have Eco and Sport for daily driving instead of Sand, Mud, and Ruts for the handful of times I venture off road.

Could you post the online link for these Maverick part listings?

TIA

What’s your average mpg been so far?

Rare to see an EB 2.0 that isn’t FX4 at this point and is FWD. How tall is the truck? Ride height seem okay compared to other SUV’s on the road?

is there lumbar adjustment for driver and passenger seats?

 

[slashy42]

I believe it is simply screwed through the front bumper

Would you mind removing the license plate and seeing how it's actually mounted? A lot of people are concerned they drill holes, but it looks too me like it's similar to my F-150 and they could have cleats that are gripping the lip of the bumper.

there's Lumbar adjust on all trim levels. Manual adjust standard for both seats on XL. The Lariat FX-4 I sat in has electric Driver's side and manual Passenger side. XLT probably has similar?

I can’t see any sensors on the vehicle, I think ford did a much better job of hiding them on this one, I have tested the lane assist, and auto high beams

check for a tiny camera integrated above your rear view mirror. I read somewhere this was used instead of sensors.

How do you feel about switching? Any regrets so far on not waiting for the hybrid? I'm getting tempted to go ecoboost, not because it may come sooner but worried I may miss the power.
