Mia the Maverick build thread

[DTF-Garage]

How did you do the climate control swap? Is there a certain model from the escape that works best? I've been looking into the same thing but it seems as though the escape module has a different bevel and mounting points unless the bevel comes off? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, great work!

For me the climate control was plug & play. Another guy did the same thing with his Lariat and he said that he had to do a reset on the radio to get it to work properly. So I guess results may vary.

I was definitely expecting to go into FORScan to get it to work, but I didn't end up needing to.

Boy that looks nice! ! ! Was the climate control hard to change ? Plug and play ? Also do the pedal covers extent the pedals alittle, I could use an inch for making it easier to get in and out. Also where did you get the black mat for the hood and scoop ? Thanks I love your upgrades

The pedal covers are a little larger than factory, but not by much, maybe 1/4 inch or so. The black vinyl for the hood was also through Ford Accessories.

I had pretty much all the parts ready to go when my truck showed up. Rear spoilers, hood scoop, Tonneau Cover, etc. I was debating on whether I wanted to paint the hood scoop to match or leave it black. I ended up painting it to match and am super glad that I did.

I did some test fitting with it, and ended up putting on the hood decal in the meantime until I could get it painted, as well as throwing on the Maverick badges on the back which should have honestly just come from the factory that way. I also thew on the "Sport" badge in black in place of the AWD badge it had.

Next up was getting rid of the God-awful Java Brown seats the Lariat comes with. It definitely does not go well with Velocity Blue. I absolutely love how these Katskinz came out and they have been great, super comfortable seats.

Those seats are tasty!!!

Thank you! I'm glad that not everyone hates what I've done haha, i've definitely gotten some shit for some of the things I've done to it.

I thought about the digital cluster, but I honestly like the mechanical gauges for the speedo and tach. I guess I'm just old school haha

I love them so much. Sometimes I forget they're not factory seats lol

I don’t hate ANYthing you’ve done.
We all have different tastes.
YOUR (or MY) truck
YOUR (or MY) money.
As long as we like it, that’s all that matters!

I couldn't agree more! The negative feedback definitely doesn't make me feel any different about my truck! Lol

How did you post your build

I never think I have much done to my truck until I see a stock Maverick and realize how different mine actually is, so I guess it's time I start my own build thread.

I ordered my truck Dec. 1st 2021, and it was delivered on July 21st, 2022. I'm super happy that I went with the Velocity Blue before it got discontinued. I named her Mia because one weird thing that I do is name all my vehicles in alphabetical order lol, so "M" was next on the list.

Since Ford (at this time) still hadn't come out with an "ST" version I wanted to build a Maverick "Sport" almost as it had come from the factory that way.

First thing I had done was Steeda Lowering Springs (For a 2020+ Escape, since there were no springs for the Maverick available at that time) Steeda Strut Tower Brace, & Rear Sway Bar. This was done about 2 days after I bought my truck, so I barely even know what it was like driving it stock.

on the main news page? I posted on builds because I didn't know how to post on this page.

Do you have a part# for that good scoop? I think it'll look nice on my Oxford White!

Great job with everything btw!
This is my second Maverick. First one was written off by a drunk driver at a red light. Got hit from behind and he was going over 55mph.
