I just picked up my truck from the shop after they repaired damage from someone hitting my driver's door. The truck has only 2,000 miles on it. My insurer guarantees repairs by this shop, so I need to determine whether or not those repairs are acceptable. The steering wheel was not properly...

My truck was in the shop for repairs for over a month after someone slammed into my driver's door. I picked it up today. After I pulled out, I noticed that the tank was very nearly empty. I also quickly noticed that the CHK light to the right of the fuel gauge was on solid. When I got home, I...

My truck is in the body shop for repair (for over a month) after someone clobbered me, which is a separate thread if I choose to tell the story. When I took it in on April 6, the shop ran the VIN and told me there was a very recent recall and update for trailer lights becoming inoperable (2025...

I just installed a Vevor aluminum ladder rack on my 2025 XL 2.0. The rack itself seems plenty sturdy, but it attaches to the bed rails with conventional camper-type clamps, and I'm not very happy with the way they work on the Maverick bed; they just don't fit quite correctly on the rails. I have...

I got my first oil change this morning, going to full synthetic at 1,350 miles. I know that's quite early, but I consider it a good precaution. I seem to recall being told something about Ford credit points that can apply to service work or other purchases when I bought the truck. I was in a...

My 2025 XL came with a free trial of SiriusXM, which I have not, used and never intended to use. As the trial end (which just now passed) approached, the SiriusXM marketing BS "presented" to me on the infotainment display became ever more insistent and obnoxious. Earlier today I actually had to...

I have a 2025 XL 2.0 AWD with the 4k tow package and base Co-pilot-360. I need to take a heavy Murphy bed kit and some other stuff down to our off-grid Virginia property come Spring. The kit boxes are up to ~86" long, and in total, the kit probably weighs about 250 - 300 lbs. I was originally...

I was driving my granddaughter to piano practice yesterday afternoon in my 2025 XL 2.0 ICE AWD that is equipped with the tow package and the Co-pilot 360 option that is usually associated with that. We were cruising at about 45 mph on a 2-lane blacktop road, nearest vehicle in front or behind...

Just FWIW. I bought a 60" x 96" x 1/4" Red Barn utility/stall mat at Tractor Supply a couple of weeks ago, and took advantage of a relatively warm day yesterday to mark and cut it (used a combination of utility knife and upholstery shears) for a bed mat. Came out pretty good: I did cut about...

Pretty soon I will be cutting up a 6' x 9' rubber mat to cover the bed floor and tailgate. I am capable of measuring the bed floor accurately (including the wheel well intrusions) if I need to, but if someone has already done that and posted the results somewhere on this site, I'd be more than...

The subject pretty much says it. I'm looking for a waterproof rear bench seat cover that is made in separate upper and a lower parts to allow the bottom to pivot forward for access to the storage compartment beneath, with zero luck so far. Has anyone found such a thing? I guess the second best...

As a new Maverick owner, I just discovered the FITS stuff today. It looks like the 3D hobby-ish nature of item production as envisioned by Ford might be limiting the variety of items available. The need to produce an item that is exclusively designed for FITS may also be a limitation. Has anyone...

I found a thread on here from a couple of years ago that took the idea of creating an "F-050" or "F-50" emblem (some were partial to adding "LIght Duty") and/or decal for Maverick and pretty well beat it to death. I found that today and the idea amused me, so I did some web searching, only to...

I recently purchased a 2025 Maverick XL 2.0 with the 4k tow package. I have some off-grid property in Virginia Ridge and Valley country that has a steep, somewhat rocky access road with water bars (think reverse drainage culvert). In another thread here, it was pointed out to me that the...

I had intended to order side rails soon, but I was exploring the Ford vehicle owner information site, and came across this instruction video for a DIY version (I'm a bit stunned to find that there is a series of DIY storage videos for Maverick, instead of Ford just trying to sell us more stuff)...

I have my Android phone (Moto e6 - I'm cheapskate) paired via BT with my 2025 Maverick XL. When I make or receive a call, the contact name that appears on the display is not the name associated with that number in the contact list on the phone, although calls placed from the phone are directed...

I just bought a new 2025 XL 2.0 AWD with the 4k towing upgrade. I set up my FordPass yesterday. Somewhere in the process of exploring that app, a message appeared that advised me to upgrade to SYNC 5.0, which I gather is a very recent release, since everything I see online seems to refer to SYNC...

I just bought a new 2025 XL AWD 2.0 with 18" wheels and the 4k tow package. I previously drove a 2004 F250 CC 4x4 with V10 & stick, and a 2007 Toyota 4Runner 4x4. We have some off grid property in the west-central part of Virginia not far from the WV line that we visit a couple of times each...

Until recently I had 2 vehicles: a 2007 Toyota 4Runner and a 2004 F250 CC long bed (V10, manual tranny). The F250 was bought new and originally my daily driver. My need for a truck that size gradually diminished over the years, until it almost entirely disappeared, so I began using my wife's...
