I am frankly not worried about it...except as a readily available excuse for Ford to deny a heat-related warranty claim. I do not want to give them that "out."
Mine arrives Monday now. I have watched the YouTube videos. I believe there is NO drilling. Only taking off bedrails AND removing the bolts already in the tailgate and then bolting everything back in to hold it in place. There WILL be cutting of the bedliner for the two panels at the rear...
Your truck...your choice.
I'd like to keep my truck from looking like an old rust bucket with all the bed scratches, so I'll be putting in the Modular 5 piece liner next week. Fordpoints and the Get15 discount made it about $160.
My 20 yr old S-10 with the factory drop in liner just...
NZ6Z 17626BA is the correct number, I think.

I was planning on a simple purchase (had a credit union voucher) and at the last second, I asked the dealer if he was interested in my old 2003 S-10.
I had requested an offer from Carvana and another (I forget). One was $2750 and one was $6400. So the dealer asked me what I thought it was...
Probably is buried data...but that would require far more effort than my salesman would put into it to find.
But in the long run, all the data I collected along the way didn't do anything to speed it up, and it sat in Denver from 2/23 to 3/8 when it did finally arrive.
Thanks! These look like they would do me well for my needs. Not planning on mudding with my beautiful hybrid, but there is way too much splashing around here to leave them off.
I just can't see putting on expensive-ugly or OEM-paint damaging mudflaps.
This is part of the listing...but the word "optional" leaves me to wonder if it is "optional" to put on or "optional" to buy. What say you @Muslogy Auto ?
Simon (Jahl) will be back with another new name if he isn't already. "Jahl" was 2-3 banned names ago, BTW, and was at least the 15th name this person has used.
Sad when someone seems to be able to provide some decent info (if the rail stuff was valid), but then chooses to get his/her giggles...
I have them on order. They do have some paint protecting foam inside. I'll decide whether to put them on after looking them over closely. Muslogy is a sponsor here, I believe.
I am personally extremely disappointed with the two options, but I think I will wait to see if Demco can get a volunteer to design one. They are looking. But Blue Ox is doable with a lot of care, trim, or extra fascia. The Roadmaster is an absolute no for me because I want to have a usable...
Read the Roadmaster Baseplate installation instructions below. You must destroy the lower section of the Active-Shutter system. The active shutter system itself can cause codes to pop and its obvious removal would make for an easy excuse for Ford to deny cooling warranty issues. It looks...
Since the Maverick delivery delay caused me to go ahead and put baseplates on my C-Max, I don't have to be in a hurry. I bought a real spare tire to carry in the back of the C-Max, so it is a good towed until I get around to doing the maverick.
A little bird told me that there may be a third...
Here's the Blue Ox kit and install. The only reason for the FX4 piece is the plastic fascia to have nice, smooth edges instead of the odd cuts in the regular Hybrid fascia. https://www.etrailer.com/Base-Plates/Ford/Maverick/2023/BLU88XR.html?VehicleID=20236007465
Here is the CURRENT exclusion list for X-Plan. Maybe they took the Tremor off; maybe I am mis-remembering. But the bottom line has always been that it is the dealer's choice to accept or not (on vehicles that are not excluded). Sounds like they should accept your FB certificate. $500 is...
That is sweet! I was waiting for someone to bite the bullet and try the FX4 lower fascia before proceeding.
Can you expand a little on what your issue was in the underside connection? I take it the new fascia needs no cutting for the Blue Ox to completely fit?
That first Blue Ox cut job in...
