  1. 2025 Maverick hybrid XLT arrived - initial review / impressions (by former 2023 XLT owner)

    Feedback that I’ve seen is that getting around the ACC radar in the baseplate design is not a big issue, it’s just that it pushes the cross-bar into the active shutter area. Since aerodynamics is not a huge concern for a toad, I don’t think the shutters being reduced or eliminated will be a big...
  2. Why is the plastic trim on the bed connecting to the cab is curved instead of a 90 degree angle?

    I actually think Ford did a pretty good job of striking a balance between blending the body lines and still providing a mostly flat surface for bed-top accessories. Adding a tonneau cover to the Maverick is a breeze compared to a Santa Cruz, Ridgeline, or even the Chevy Avalanche or the new EV...
  3. RoadMaster Base Plate UPDATE

    I would guess that the market for a brand new model year is in the hundreds, at most. The people who flat tow are mostly retired and they don't tend to use brand new vehicles as toads. On the other hand, the Maverick is one of very few newer vehicles that can be flat towed, so as time goes by...
  4. Waiting to flat-tow a 2025 Maverick may take a long time.

    Based on the instructions they have posted, I’ll probably wait to see at least one more vendor’s solution before committing to which one to buy. I’d like to see if someone comes up with a solution that doesn’t completely eliminate all of the shutters and maybe doesn’t involve taking a sawzall to...
  5. Under Seat Vent Extenders

    From what I can tell from the photos, very similar, if not identical vent extensions to the ones in the 1st post are already available with a few re-mixes for various use cases on Makerworld
  6. Flat Towing the 2025 Maverick AWD Hybrid

    I think the main purpose of the shutters is to slightly improve the aerodynamics when the extra airflow is not needed for cooling. Having some of them always open might have a small effect on mpg under certain conditions and perhaps a small effect of how quickly things warm up in very cold...
  7. Fuel Level and Engines Temperature Indicators

    I looked at both the 2024 and the 2025 Lariat hybrid yesterday and ended up buying the 2025. My other vehicle is a Lightning with Sync 4a and I felt like the 2025 sync screen was a lot more similar to the Lightning. The AWD hybrid was also a bit of a factor for me. I’m still figuring out my...
