  1. DIY painted body color door handles and/or mirrors?

    IDK the stick-on handles don't seem like they would be very durable especially running through car washes. Has anyone considered replacing the handles with the OEM parts for the Maverick Lariat? They come primed and ready to paint. From what I see on YouTube they look easy to pop off and...
  2. 2022 Ford Maverick XL 12300 miles. Was told I need new tires today.

    When to replace tires can be like asking when to change your oil, everyone has their own opinion. Personally, I don't wait until the tire must legally be replaced at 2/32" tread depth, way before then it is already a safety issue with wet stopping distance and hydroplaning. The chart from...
  3. Installed Nitto Nomad Grapplers on 17x8” RRW wheels

    If you are looking for the most comprehensive review of AT tires, I found the review of the Best 9 AT tires at Tyre Reviews very helpful. I thought the video was very well done.
  4. Maybe Just Maybe A New Touchscreen in MY25 ??? (Article)

    I know I'm probably in the minority, but I don't need/want a big info screen. Leave the knobs, buttons, etc. so I don't need to take my eyes off the road to play with a touch screen that is hard to hit the right spot on all but the smoothest roads. It may look cool, but IMO it is just another...
  5. A.R.E. V Series Truck Cap installed

    Looks fantastic and the price is reasonable... How does it impact your visibility? Did yours come with the drop-down front window for cleaning the glass between the cab and the cap? The only thing I would do different would-be smaller clamps that don't stick out so far and in black if...
  6. Two year ownership review.

    I could never figure out why low speed is part of the auto high beam algorithm. Must drive faster than 32 mph to turn on high beams then if speed drops below 27 mph it turns high beams off. I think the engineers that programmed this must have also programmed the auto stop/start. Ford could use...
  7. Bad battery issues - Part #2

    The CCA rating tells you how many amps a given 12-volts battery may support for 30 seconds at 0°F (-18°C) before the voltage drops to at least 7.2 volts per cell. In order to test CCA first put the battery in your freezer overnight. :LOL:
  8. Dealership has a deal on winter tires/rims. Thoughts?

    Not a bad price. For comparison, Tire Rack package $1,217.56 plus tax. For not much more you can upgrade to alloy wheels.
  9. Knock Sensors fail at 49k???

    Yes, of course the 36/36,000 bumper to bumper covers this. After that the longer emissions warranty does not cover knock sensors. Ford’s Emissions Warranty (Except California) —8 years or 80,000 miles (whichever occurs first) for catalytic converters, electronic emissions control unit, and...
  10. Knock Sensors fail at 49k???

    The knock sensor is listed under Emissions covered items under the Ford Protected Extended Service Plan. The issue is the Emissions warranty only covers major emission components of which the knock sensors are not major. Only the Ford Premium CARE extended warranty plan covers the Emission...
  11. Michelin CrossClimate2 tires installed

    I'm not buying that. You should be able to use the spare tire with no problem. The spare being non-directional just means it can be used on either side of the truck. Like all small spare tires just limit your speed and replace with repaired tire ASAP. I know the Michelin CrossClimate2 gets...
  12. Android Auto through Bluetooth?

    When pairing your phone through a wireless adapter do you lose any functionality from Sync 3? I assume the phone must be unpaired from the built-in Bluetooth before being paired to the USB wireless adapter. More specifically, will the 911 ASSIST feature still work?
  13. Ford plans to cut F-150 Lightning production as consumer demand slows.

    Detroit Free Press Link. Ford Motor Co. said it plans to slash production of the F-150 Lightning pickup by 50%, in response to slowing consumer demand for electric vehicles. Ford sees consumers buying hybrids instead. IMO this should not be a surprise. The early (mostly wealthy) electric...
  14. Upgraded Wheels/Tires (cactus gray XL truck)

    The stock tires on my XL were CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX
  15. Upgraded Wheels/Tires (cactus gray XL truck)

    After a lot of going back and forth I pulled the trigger on ENKEI PERFORMANCE OVERLANDER wheels and CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT ATR tires. I think the Matte Gunmetal finish goes really well with the Cactus Gray truck. It is still early but I'm surprised that the Conti AT tires seem as quiet or...
  16. Has anyone here installed the wireless stick-on keypad on an XL?

    IDK that looks like right where the Tonneau Cover rail/seal will attach. I suppose it can be removed later and relocated if needed.
  17. 2024 Maverick Earns 2024 KBB Best Buy Award for Best Compact Truck

    IMO the market is ready for a true mini-truck if the base price could be sub $20,000. i.e., FORD COURIER, but something like the RAM 700.
  18. Private offer for the 2023 Rollover

    The dealer should deduct the private offer ($2,500) from the purchase price and have you sign some paperwork authorizing Ford to reimburse the dealer.
