Initial upgrades complete - 2023 Maverick Hybrid Iconic Silver Lariat Lux BAP

[jakewill]

Hi everyone, I'm finally feeling it's time to share my Mav after adding a few things to customize the look. This forum has been tremendously helpful in capturing others' experience, style, and recommendations. Really appreciate everyone's dedication to the Maverick hobby!

Backstory:

I've been driving a 2014 Tundra Platinum w/ only 50k miles and a bunch of upgrades. It really only gets used for hauling kids around town for their activities, so was looking for something small, stylish and efficient.

I started looking for a Maverick about a month ago and jumped down the rabbit hole looking for any available for sale nearby (was oblivious to the whole order+wait time for most). Through building my ideal Mav on the website I was able to narrow down the trim level and factory add-ons I was looking for. Managed to find one 500mi away that ticked off almost every box and would end up being my mini-Tundra. The dealership had ordered this as part of their annual allowance thinking they could turn a profit. It was marked up $5k over msrp, but I was able to negotiate that down. All-in it was about $5k difference they gave me on the trade, which in hindsight I'm happy with as my local dealer said the one they sold a week before would have been about a $12k difference.

The Build:

I wanted a good balance of clean, aggressive, and protective add-ons to start. Feeling really good about the choices so far! Thanks again to this channel and some Youtube tutorials I've been able to install these all myself, aside from the bed liner.

Looks great! Love the added black accents against the silver paint.

That looks really good. I think I've got myself talked into a Lariat vs SLT, but I hate the brown seats, which means I need to also order the BAP. On Ford's website the seats look very black, but yours look like they are a dark grey. I'm concerned about it getting boiling hot during the summer. I guess remote start can negate that, but based on past experience I don't always remember to use it.

Care to comment on the shade of the interior and the effect of summertime heat?

Mine's been mostly garaged so far, but as you said remote start helps. It's been 100 degrees for a couple weeks here and one day I had to park it outside facing South, but didn't notice any major heat after remote starting for 5mins. I'm also planning to get a windshield cover and ceramic front tint which should do the trick for most hot days.

Honestly I wouldn't expect the tan interior leather to be any cooler than black if the sun was shining directly onto the seats.

BAP leather is a deep gray, but I've also seen many many custom seat covers that look REALLY good and high-quality with stitched, perforated leather in different colors.

 

[Saltwater Cowboys]

Thanks. The lack of interior color options irks me. I have to buy a $1645 package just to get a second option for leather. I'd love something black and grey similar to the Navy Pier option for cloth seats.

Looks great!

I love that fuel door upgrade, I've not seen that before and it really pops on your color Mav!

 

[bighap]

How does the steering wheel cover affect the heated wheel performance?

 

[olderbudwiser]

That came out darn nice!!!

Well, when the temp drops below 100 I'll let you know haha. It's just a cheap cover from Walmart to keep the wheel in good shape. Can pop it off as needed!

Nice post… I appreciate the links to all the goodies you opted for.

Is this lifted at all ?

 

[jakewill]

Is this lifted at all ?

Not yet, but the 18'' wheels, fender flares and camera angle make it look a bit that way. I'm still debating on whether to just level it or or lift it too.

 

[Lhaddix27]

That’s why I was wondering. It looks great how it is but I’ve been in the delima of lift or level Or both.
