Week 2 with my 2024 XL ecoboost.

[jetnow]

Ordered on Thanksgiving weekend, picked up 2 weeks ago.
So far I have added a bed cover, Bronco sport wheels, spray on bed liner, tailgate letters, both side cubbies in the bed, DIY cargo rails and organizer's for the storage under the armrest. Nor yet installed are mud flaps, though I have them waiting. I also have ceremic
coating to put on, waiting for a bit warmer to put on.

Looks Great! Love the wheels and the color! One thing I did to my XL that was a pretty easy upgrade is I replaced the manual locking tailgate with the power locking tailgate actuator that comes on the XLT. I also added the extra bed hooks and floor hooks that come on an XLT. You have to tap out the threads for the bed floor hooks! These are a couple things I did to make my XL more like an XLT.

As I ordered the XL with the bed mat it came with the bed rings installed. The only other option I ordered was the floor mats

Nice!

Just one word on installing the bed ĥooks..
You will be drilling out the holes for the taps.
Find a small rod that will fit into the existing hole, (drivers side) to measure the gap between the deck of the bed and the top of the FUEL TANK...
You can then mark the drill bit to the proper, safe depth...

Hey Jim!

Welcome to the club and congratulations on getting your Maverick!

Seems like you have done a few upgrades to your ride already, but one thing you may be missing is a Maverick Truck Club decal so you can properly “represent.”

This is why I appreciate this forum so much.

I like the way you think. Mine is a ‘23 in Area 51 and 4k tow, but very similar.

This is good info to know! All the holes were already present on my 2024 XL. I just had to tap the thread, no drilling needed.. Now you would maybe have to drill the holes out after a spray in bedliner or something like that but all the holes are present on an XL.

Your Maverick is looking good, Jim. Congrats!

With the "Tap" that I was using. I DID have to redrill the hole...

Where did you get our bed liner? What brand?

Nice! Love the wheels.

You didn't list it, so consider adding the tailgate damper. It allows you to unlatch your tailgate and let go of it, while watching it gently lower.

Bought the spray on kit on Amazon, would not do again.

Did not list it but did add it, just forgot it as it was the first thing I did.
Wheels are a $400 facebook find included the 4 tires with less than 100 miles.
