The first 5 things I bought for my Maverick

[RichardCranium]

My Maverick is scheduled for 1/22 but already have a couple items from my list
1. Wireless carplay adapter ($25 black Friday deal)
2. Wireless charger for phone (Going to print something to go in the useless cubby to attach it to.)
3. Tailgate hole cover, already printed and ready to install.

Wishlist includes
1. Tonneau cover (undecided on which one)
2. storage cubby for bed.
3. Bed lights with remote switch
4. Back seat cover for messy children.

Just arrived yesterday, still need to apply ceramic coat prior to install. Will post about fitment then. Way things are going, might be after Christmas. Time is just flying by right now!

Any concern about the deflector adhesive not sticking to ceramic? I had my protective film installed before applying ceramic coating per the PPF installer's guidance because PPF (or anything else for that matter, include dirt and bugs, etc.) doesn't stick well to ceramic-coated surfaces. Just an FYI for your consideration.

Should not need additional adhesive on this one. If I do it will be under the hood, not on coated surfaces.

Tailgate assist, bed mat and tri-fold soft tonneau cover from Rough Country
AVS Bugflector II from Real Truck

I too purchased the BFII. Initial alignment looks like it may need to be trimmed to fit. Did you have any issues installing yours?

Fits fine, looks great. Trimmed ? Nope.

Five purchased items:

Tire chains (going to a concert in a couple of weeks, snow encounter is likely)
Spare batteries for keyfobs to keep in vehicle

Items I saw recommended here:

Glovebox organizer insert
MaxMate rollup tonneau cover
Console organizer



Also, stuff moved over from the car it replaced:

Jumper cables
Windshield sunshade
Two quarts of 5-20 synthetic oil (hopefully will never need them — the Mazda they were in had 110K miles on it and never needed them)

Any particular type of tire chains you'd recommend? I am buying them to drive up the hills in CL. Thanks.

Well, since I haven't actually used them, I can't say for sure. This is what I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BR8UAO?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

They are similar to the ones I've used on the Mazda (which was traded in on the Maverick) but not quite the same. That set served me well on the few occasions I have had to use them and weren't too hard to put on.

I will need to do a practice run with the ones for the Maverick since I am likely to need them in a couple of weeks.

The ones for the Mazda also fit our Kia Soul EV, so I have kept those as well.

Auto start stop for EB.

I suppose splash guards is a better name. They attach by the fender lining so can't see how they could cause damage
