I just returned mine to Amazon today as per Mabett rep. on MTC who wrote that they are starting to develop a product for the Lariat, etc.. Donāt hold your breath when China is involved!
I have a 2025 Maverick Lariat Hybrid with 2500 mi. that I bought new in 2/25. I really liked the look of the latest version of Mabett side marker lights so I received same and attempted installation with enclosed terrible instructions. I also didnāt notice that Amazon DID NOT recommend this...
I wouldnāt bet on a fix that soon. Ford should dump the Yokels who decided to play this game with customers. Iāve had many comments on the good looks of the Mav but when I tell them about the ādrive it moreā the reaction is always - OHā¦

2025 Lariat AWD Hybrid took possession early Feb ā25, drove for a month (500+mi), went on planned vacation and 10 days later received āBattery Saver Modeā via Ford Pass. As soon as I get back home I am calling Litchfield Ford for a tow. Let Ford pay for the known defects and resistance to remedy!
Itās ridiculous for Ford to wait this long to correct a 12V battery parasitic drain that is so obviously a design issue and then be so reluctant to remedy the situation by preemptively replacing the 12V batteries. Come on Ford why is President Trump protecting you with tariffs?
