When I got my 2023 Maverick XLT I needed to make it as versatile as possible...thus the portable headache rack, bed extender for trailer hitch, soft roll up cover plus a way to haul my Schwinn Orange County Chopper bicycle with a motorized kit. Most of the time it is just a Maverick with a soft...

I also have a soft roll up bed cover on it now...just roll it up to the back window when using the headache rack. Rack and bed extender is on or off in a couple minutes. Not real pretty but I only use the rack a few times a year.

Here's my DIY...a bit of red neck engineering. Loosen 2 jbolts and the headache rack comes out in a minute or two.

Buying my 23 XLT Maverick was one of my best dumb moves in a long time. Love it!!

The reason I installed the mod was to prevent the stupid restarts. The gas savings are supposedly about .4 mpg using the auto start/stop feature. Hardly worth the extra wear and tear it causes.

The best mod I put on my Maverick was the $16 Auto stop/start removal from Ebay. Still there if I want to use it...just don't have to push the button every time I start the engine.

I tried one of the light weight ones in a old Nissan that I used to have. Learned the hard way that doesn't work. I have a heavy duty one from Rough Country...only way it flies out is if the truck is upside down. Fortunately I haven't tried that yet.

When I got my Maverick I wanted to make it as versatile as possible...thus the tonneau cover, diy rack, bed extender, trailer hitch, bed lights etc. My most used kayak is a 10'11" Old Towne Manitou which I transport like the green REMIX in your photo. Loving my Maverick!

I call it my red-neck head ache rack...used parts that I had laying around. I don't use it often so wanted it portable and easy to put in and take out. The board is 2x10, I used some channel iron 3/4" x 1 1/2"...but you could use angle iron or lumber etc. for the frame. I used a couple pieces...

I opted for a DYI headache rack and a bed extender from Amazon. I'm 82 and still able to get my 14' 9" Ocean Kayak Scupper Pro loaded up. Also works with my roll up cover I installed. Works for me.

I went with the Curt and their wiring kit...spent more money but the factory hitch was on constraint and did not want to wait another year due to trailer hitch. Mine is a 23 Ecoboost.

I'm 82 and have done all the oil changes on my personal vehicles except once. And that once is why I'm still doing them today. I was on vacation heading to the Colorado Rocky Mountains...I knew it was due the oil change. Stopped at a Walmart...told the mechanic which oil and filter I wanted and...

I love the headlights on my 23 XLT...auto on, auto hi/low, and the best night vision coverage.

Only check mine occasionally...usually my calculations are about 2mpg less than the Mav shows.

I had the same problem...was afraid I would break the switch. So took the whole console loose and removed the switch. The jumper that attached to the switch was about $15...the thing that plugged in under the dash was about $100. The best $15 I spent on the Maverick.

I think I still have 2 CBs up in the attic someplace...pretty sure it's been at least 30 years (probably longer) since I used them.

I just went out and checked out the manual door lock. Now I know how my drivers door is locked occasionally for no reason. Learn something new every day. I never really thought about the manual door locks before.

This happens to me fairly regularly...not sure why. I leave my key/fob in the truck when in the garage. My 2023 has the keypad on the door so no problem.

Did you build the kayak? It's beautiful...I'd be afraid to put it in our local rivers.

I too pulled both rear headrests out...just as I did in my RAV4. I keep them in the vehicle just in case someone rides in the rear. Didn't realize they would fit behind the rear seat...they take up too much valuable space under the rear seat. Will be moved today.
