Yep, that sounds reasonable. In my old job, we would try to leave at least a few hundred bucks worth of product installed. Plus a discount if they wanted to buy anything else.

I'm both a consumer and previously worked as a design engineer for a popular aftermarket brand. They still borrow my truck occasionally for tests and media. In my experience, there is no guaranteed compensation. Ideally, they should make an effort to leave some products installed on the vehicle...

Yep. Many of those produce excessive glare because they can't accurately mimic a halogen filament size and placement.

That's listed as offroad only. You need a properly aimed SAE-F (or F3) fog light pattern to be safely used in traffic.

https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/2025-fog-lights-by-diode-dynamics-in-development.76052/ They're clearly not coming "early" 2026, because it IS early 2026, but they are in process.

Sharing this for the uninformed. Mavericks with ACC + Lane Centering are a lower level 2. Ford Blue Cruise is arguably a higher Level 2 Waymo is Level 4. Level 5 doesn't exist yet.

No Mavericks come with power in the rearview mirror from the factory. The harness taps into the dome light to provide power for aftermarket accessories like dashcams and auto-dimming mirrors.

I followed this thread: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/dash-cam-hardwiring.48465/ This harness is also a good option to avoid the hassle of routing wires up the A-pillar: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126939646204

Looking at your photos of the damage, I'd speculate that the wiring to/from the sensor is what is damaged. The sensor is mounted in the middle of the lower grille, which appears untouched. But the wire harness runs directly behind the area you got hit at. If the driver's side sidemarker in the...

Companies like this don't do R&D. They're peddling white label products they've never seen for vehicles they don't know.

Any combustion engine can leak flammable materials, not just the old one. It was never supposed to fix the improperly machined crankshaft in your old engine. The recall will follow the vehicle until complete, as federally required. If you ever sell the truck and it ends up on a dealer's lot...

Have the brakes changed for 2025? Or did someone not update their catalog? If I was a betting man, I'd go all in on the latter. The incompetence in the aftermarket parts industry is astounding.

Best accessory: aftermarket tail lights because they added an amber turn signal. I'd like to see more aftermarket headlights this year.

There are many threads on here about the topic. You should swap your switches over to the new wheel. Maverick, Escape, EU Fiesta and Kuga steering wheels are interchangeable. Here's the USDM Escape ST steering wheel and part# I used back when I had a flat bottom...

They are working on it.

The owner's manual should have a section about long term storage. People typically disconnect the battery and/or put it on a trickle charger.

The SKU for Hybrid is ML3Z-11654-DC

To be fair, a 2 degree squat would result in the beam raising over 5ft at a 150ft distance. It's still more than enough to glare everyone.

I agree with IIHS, which rates them "Acceptable", but not ideal by today's standards. They fall short on LH turns and seem to have a bit more glare than is necessary for "sign lighting". They perform better than most vehicles I've owned, but not as good as a typical OEM LED projector.

For the 2025 refresh, they changed the brake light wiring. 2022-24 has both brake light bulbs powered together from the same wire, but 2025 has separate wires for the top and bottom brake light sections.
