Also depends on what rack system and if you're willing to modify. When I had my Maverick, I had an Xtrusion Overland XTR1 rack with a Truxedo Sentry CT tonneau. I had to modify the tonneau rails but then it worked perfect. I know people have also done the same modifying to the Bak X4S with that...
Belated welcome to Idaho! Always good to see another Idahoan (no matter how recent)! I don't have my Maverick anymore but can give a +1 to the Cooper R+T. Swapped the horrendous Dynapros on my Frontier to them a few months back and they have been great!
I've seen bits and pieces in that main FB group. I don't think anyone has indicated they got anything back from him. I've seen people saying the sent him anywhere from a few hundred $ to upwards of thousands for every part he was offering. If what was being said is accurate, it should definitely...
Agreed. Investigation wise it will likely take forever, if anything happens at all. I'm more surprised given the amount of doxxing I've seen in my area over disputes of any kind that things haven't gone down that road (or maybe they have).
Don't disagree, just saying I'm a little surprised it hasn't happened given the scope of the scam and the $ some people lost. I never had a horse in the race since I was never going to spend money with a unestablished name that pushed Venmo, Zelle etc as primary payment options.
Agree that Bronco Sport takeoffs are a good idea.
Otherwise, I think you'd want to zero in on an affordable wheel where the design approximates one of the other Maverick wheel choices. That way the overall design language stays close to what people are seeing on the lot in other trim levels. I...
All these A/T "lite" tires are pretty solid choices for what you describe @Frenchy and perform similarly: Nomad Grappler, BFG Trail Terrain, Falken Wildpeak Trail, Nokian APT . Biggest considerations for most people are probably going to be which one has the best deal when you're ready to buy...
Nitto Nomad Grapplers were great on mine in Idaho. Lightweight for an AT type tire, great grip on multiple surfaces and 3PMS rated. Mine were awesome in multiple winters. They're also well mannered on pavement and have minimal impact to MPG if you're looking for something that isn't a dedicated...
You can also still use the brake light feature but disable the "Safety Strobe" aspect of it if you want. There's just a purple wire on the DD 7 pin harness that you cut if you want the brake light not to strobe when you press the brakes.
Sorry, it's still Diode Dynamics product but it is their C1R specifically for the F150:

Once you select C1R + Brake on that listing you'll see it comes with a bunch of harnesses. One of them is direct...
I ran a different DD fog light setup with a similar type of switch. If you aren't going full fancy OEM switch in the headlight panel, it's still really easy to use a step bit on the steering column to put their switch in:
I just did the same thing in my '24 Frontier for DD ditch lights and...
The F150 C1R Hitch light does work on Maverick's with 4k tow though. That model of it comes with multiple harness options and one of them is a direct plug and play into the Mavericks tailights for the brake light function. Ran it on mine for months with no issues before I traded it in.
