About $2500 or so more than mine was, and I picked it up this time last month. Still a great little truck - one of my favorite vehicles ever. But sooner or later Ford is going to price themselves out of a market. (I know I was all but guaranteed to get a Lariat, until I saw the '25 price cross...

I agree, I don't see a lot of practical use here. At the same time? I like the look. I'll be picking up a set at some point.

After a bit of trim.

Big "nope" from me. Blue is my favorite color. But I couldn't see myself going for this, or imagining that it'd be a popular color. (At the same time, more options are always good. And I could see my daughter in something like this ten years down the line. Not everything has to be Hot Rod Red.)

I think for me, it's the 25's front end. I'm one of the minority that actually like the new headlight design. But that means, for me, it throws off the balance of it if you have the bug shield jutting upward and the corners of the lights jutting downward. Much nicer on the 22-24 models. Looks...

Was going to try for a better pic once I left the store, but by that time a Marine was pulling in with an almost identical truck to mine aside from the Lariat trim. (Didn't catch your name or rank - just saw all the stripes on the back glass. Nice truck, and thank you for your service.)

Five Finger Death Punch - Blue On Black (feat. Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Brantley Gilbert & Brian May)

I like it. Personally, I’m not getting a big deflector specifically because I don’t like the look. But I might pick one up if it was painted to match.

I like the open bed look, especially with the spray-in liner. But the Missus is suggesting I get a cover, and who am I to argue with free reign to order another add-on? Question, though. Has anyone experienced any difficulties clamping one on if they already have the Ford OEM cargo rails? I’m...

I’ll try to get one. But my driveway is curved and on an incline, so not the best for really testing road conditions. The above was with my phone’s flashlight, trying to test it out though without a second vehicle. I can confirm that, pulling into the two-car carport, the headlights...

pretty sure it was 13.0. The lights flicker subtly - can’t really see it with the naked eye, but a camera’s likely to catch it with a segment or two missing.

“Finished” product, at least for now. I’ve still got the Mabett underbody shield to install, but don’t feel like jacking it up and crawling underneath while the ground’s still cold. (Plenty more on my wishlist there. The only reason Mabett didn’t get my entire paycheck is because I had to save...

Good eyes. That you do! I was focusing more on the aftermarket parts here. But I do also have a set of the Ford OEM rails.

Not sure if it counts as Halloween-related, specifically. But I took the day off of work to play "dress up" with my truck. All those Mabett parts I've been ordering, even before I actually took delivery of my Mav? Finally in place and ready to show off. 😁

Last piece for today - Maxina window vents. This was the piece I was most "iffy" about. I almost never unroll my windows, and when I do, it's all the way down. I wouldn't let them down in the rain. I wouldn't leave it unattended like that in a parking lot, in the hopes it'd vent some of the...

Before-and-after shot of the reflection effect:

Easily my favorite upgrade - the "MAVERICK" lettering. Custom ordered these through TuffSkinz. The set I received are matte black by day, and reflective at night. The black isn't super blackout black, but it's on par with the trim around the top of the bed. And the dark gray actually seems to...

On to the fender flares. This was the one I was most looking forward to. Strangely enough, I was a little uncertain about the results? Don't get me wrong - I love Mabett. Their flares look the best that I've seen, and I've done a lot of research here. Every picture I see looks better with them...

As far as total cost, this was the cheapest mod that gave me the most pleasure per dollar spent. Less than $5 total, but the stock start button unreasonably annoyed me. I couldn't find a color match for Maverick Interior Blue, so one that was close to the exterior was close enough. And it's a...

Next up, Mabett fender hole covers. Messed up here thinking the trim snaps were one piece, rather than two. Almost impossible to pull loose if you pry them off that way. (Note the minor scratches around each one as I struggled in vain.) But the Ford ones are pretty simple to remove if you pull...
