  2. Rival skid plate removal for oil changes?

    There was a prior thread on this. I have the skid plate. The key is to use a small funnel to channel the oil. WalMart has a hypertough funnel for 76 cents. Cut off the bottom narrow part under the accordion so the oil can flow through the funnel. Stretch the accordion part of the funnel out...
  3. Theory why Mavericks get rear-ended so much

    Add to that an increase in drivers who tailgate - also live in a small town
  4. Trip to the Redwoods! (1,500 miles total)

    Thanks for the pictures - brought back many memories. We lived in Seattle during 60's (parent bought first house there for $4,000). Remember going to the fair in Puyallup every year. From there, we moved to Corvallis, Oregon - Dad was a marine biologist, so many trips to the Oregon coast. Moved...

    It was $35 - Blackstone increased the price for standard oil analysis to $40 a couple months ago. They have a price list on their web site.
  6. What was the first thing you bought for your Maverick?

    First thing was Mabett mudflaps. Since - dash organizer, rear bumper cover plate, tailgate hole cover, door side storage trays (all Mabett); Yitamotors liners (great product) and soft roll-up tonneau cover; Rival skid plate; console organizer, tailgate damper; two bed storage bins and tailgate...
  7. XL Who all has one?

    My 24 XL replaced a 97 GMC Sonoma. The XL has the features that I wanted without stuff I did not want to pay for. The only thing I wish the XL had is Sync4 (like the 25s) for Sirius radio - wife has in her CRV and love listening to Casey Kasem and American Top 40. I also prefer the steelies -...
  8. Rival skid plate removal for oil changes?

    I do my oil changes. You do not have to remove the skid plate. There are two small plates held with four fasteners each - one for access to the oil filter and the other to access the drain plug. Make sure you use a small funnel when draining the oil to channel it. If you don't, the oil tends to...
  9. May 2025 - Maverick Sales & Production: 15,508 Sold / 17,573 Produced

    Ditto - there are three Ford dealers in my rural area and all have Mavericks on their lot. A few are XLs (most with options like 4K and AWD); only one of the Mavericks is a hybrid.
  10. Mabett Trash Can Multi-Scenario Organizer Available Now!

    Are you working on a re-design of the trash can that fits in the back of the center console storage? I have floor liners that cover the rear area - when the liners are in, the trash can does not slide all the way down and wobbles. Moving the tab down the can would raise the can and allow it to...
  11. Oil sample from drain plug vs oil cap. Does it matter?

    Per the Blackstone web site - When it’s time to take your oil sample, you can do it one of two ways: either take the sample when you change the oil, or draw it out through the dipstick with a pump If during an oil change, they suggest taking the sample from the middle of the drain.
  12. Hard Fold Tonneau under $250

    Oedro, Autosaver88, and Yitamotors are all brands from the same company - Yintatech https://www.yintatech.cn/html/en/business/. They sell on ebay and Amazon. I bought the Yitamotors floor liners - about $65 for the full set and they are excellent. Also bought the soft roll cover for $105 and...
  13. 25% tariffs on imported vehicles

    Ideally. However, consider the time and expense of re-tooling existing production lines in the US (or building new production facilities). Add to that the cost of labor in the US and lower vehicle prices is a remote possibility. People say they are willing to pay more for products made in the US...
  14. 25% tariffs on imported vehicles

    Odometer says 177,893? That's pretty high mileage for 3 year old truck
  15. Maxzina-Maverick Kick Panel Available Now!

    I installed the plate when I changed the oil at 5,000 miles. I just changed the oil again - at 10,000 miles. I see that Rival's description now includes recommendation to use a funnel when changing the oil to prevent spills. I used a small flexible funnel (about $1 at WalMart) during the last...

  17. Update, vinyl roll up bed cover.

    I bought the soft roll-up from yitamotors (yitamotors, oedro and autosaver88 are brands from yintatech). The install instructions were not great so I ending up installing and re-installing couple times. Did you use the rubber weather stripping underneath the front of the cover frame (by the...
  18. Has anyone ever regretted getting a XL?

    Do I regret buying a 2024 XL hybrid with 360 co-pilot, hitch receiver, and bed mat for under $30K out the door? Absolutely not. And I actually like the steelies
  19. Sun shade recommendations

    Bought a Kust screen last year. Works well and price was reasonable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TH813XX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
  20. Rear Wheel Well Protective Plate

    The toll scam has been going around. Not just Maryland. Local news in PA warned about it - I got the email about 6-8 months ago.
