Got my truck on Monday, so I had to get some of those great accessories that I've seen everybody posting about here at the MTC.
Today, I put on the replacement tailgate tie downs, and the Arana tailgate assist. I've seen some complaints about this particular assist, that it lets the tailgate...
This dealership (Schomp, in Denver) lets you pick out a vehicle on-line, and choose finance, finance with a trade, or cash, and gives you an internet quote, which they honored for me as I told them ahead of time that it would be a cash purchase. I got my '24 for about $25.5K on a cash deal (not...
I got my brand-new '24 on Monday (3/17) and it took a while at the dealership because they hadn't done the recall yet. For the last couple of days, when I checked the Ford recall website (https://www.ford.com/support/recalls/) it still showed that it wasn't done. Today, though, it came through...
I got my new '24 Maverick on Monday, and got a REALLY good deal on it by paying cash. But most of the dealerships near me are still trying to sell '24s at higher prices (equal to, or more than a new '25). I came pretty close to buying a '25, but the recall came through at the last minute. I...
Had a 2019 Kia Soul. It was a decent vehicle - good room inside, enough power to drive in the mountains, optioned out nicely, low mileage. But then, the TikTok idiots started posting how to steal Kias and Hyundais that didn't have good anti-theft built-in, and this was one of the models that was...
Finally got my 24' Maverick XL hybrid today! Haven't had a chance to take any pictures, since I spent almost 5 hours working through all the paperwork and waiting for them to do the software recall and detail the truck. It's just the straight base XL but it does have CoPilot360 (power mirrors!)...
If your Lariat came with 19" wheels and you want to save the tires, WheelWiz out of Canada (good prices and ships to the U.S.) has these -

I was pricing some 2025's earlier today in my area, and I found a weird discrepancy on the window stickers.
Both Mavericks are 2025s, with hybrid motor. Same color, same interior, same features (AWD, 4k Tow, Co-Pilot360).
Exactly the same truck except for one thing:
One was priced $155 more than...
There's this YouTube video, where the guy uses one of those giant rubber erasers from the dollar store, and it looks to work rubbing the wax off, and it looks to be safe for trim and paint -
I use Meguiar's Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer on an old t-shirt/sock/soft terry towel and it works...
Long McArthur Ford has a whole YouTube video about the 2025 center screen -
and it doesn't show that recirc button.
I don't know if there are different setups for U.S. vs Canada, but I did see on a picture of a Canadian 22-24 with a syrup button on the screen. :)
You can try a couple of things -
plug a USB thumb drive in, let the system try to access it, and see if it clears the message, then remove the drive after you turn off the truck; or you can plug a phone into the port and see if that clears it. Do you leave the charger cord plugged in all the...

Found this while searching the 'Net for camera recall news -

It sounds like a very small amount of trucks are under this recall - 1800 in U.S., 200 in Canada
