  1. Will the dealer charge me over MSRP

    If they do, tell them to take a hike. They can't force you to pay over MSRP. I don't think there are very many dealers left price-gouging the Mavericks since supply has finally caught up with demand, but I suppose the '25 model year may re-ignite that practice among some. I just got a '24 model...
  2. Tailgate Down Light?

    It isn't something I've ever thought about before, but I can see the benefits as long as it's: A. Optional and can be disabled B. A one-time warning/tone, not a constant nag More functional than the "check the back seat" warning (that you can thankfully disable). But that's just my two cents.
  3. Unexpected - Can't use my Harbor Freight ramps?

    Fair enough, but I'm not worried about scratching something; I'm worried about damaging or tearing it off from an avoidable potential abuse.
  4. Unexpected - Can't use my Harbor Freight ramps?

    Thank you! Although others have very kindly replied with similar advice, your particular specificity really helps.
  5. Unexpected - Can't use my Harbor Freight ramps?

    I can attest that my metal ones dig quite badly into the ground at the front. For what it's worth.
  6. Gator SRX Soft Roll Up Tonneau Cover Installed

    I haven't had it long enough for a confident answer, but I didn't notice anything yesterday when driving about 80 miles. Highest speed was a bit under 65mph if that's helpful.
  7. Gator SRX Soft Roll Up Tonneau Cover Installed

    Yeah, exactly why I got the rollup. I had a soft tri-fold on an old Ranger and hated that I couldn't use the full bed without removal.
  8. Gator SRX Soft Roll Up Tonneau Cover Installed

    Installation wasn't as straight forward as I would have liked. I stalled briefly on the C-Clamps and horizontal positioning of the rails. The tension is definitely the part most prone to trouble. Written instructions for the proper positioning and adjustment of the two tension blocks is not bad...
  9. Gator SRX Soft Roll Up Tonneau Cover Installed

    Thanks. I got it from RealTruck, so I thought I might give them some positive feedback in their sponsor thread. Here's a link if you're interested, and it's still on sale for now. https://realtruck.com/p/gator-srx-roll-up-tonneau-cover/
  10. Keyless Entry - My favorite feature

    Agreed, the keyless entry is well implemented on the Maverick. I have the same feature (implemented the same way) on my Olds MKZ as well, so it's nice to have parity there. My Genesis had keyless entry, but it was implemented using a button. A minor thing, but just grabbing the handle is a nice...
  11. Gator SRX Soft Roll Up Tonneau Cover Installed

    Ordered on Sunday, installed Wednesday. It was on sale for $50 off (no additional discount available). I really wanted a hard rollup, but that's not in my price range now. I was pleasantly surprised with how well it fit. Nice and flat, and low profile as well. Good product, delivered quickly...
  12. 🌟Weekly Giveaway Alert: Comment to Win a Full Set Fender Flares from Mabett! 🌟

    The Mabett Hood Lift Support and Tailgate Damper addressed two of my minor pain points on the Maverick. So much so that I wasn't even that upset that I forgot to select the $5 coupon! :cwl:
  13. Unexpected - Can't use my Harbor Freight ramps?

    I'll most likely be getting these unless the 2x4 trick does the job.
  14. Unexpected - Can't use my Harbor Freight ramps?

    Honestly, that's a good question. I've only ever used them for my 20176 Tacoma in the past.
  15. Unexpected - Can't use my Harbor Freight ramps?

    Very helpful link. The calculator shows 21 degrees, so 17 should do the trick I would think.
  16. Unexpected - Can't use my Harbor Freight ramps?

    I need a ramp to access and leave my back yard, and was previously using some standard Harbor Freight metal ramps. As you can see by the photo below, my 2024 Lariat bumper facia is too low for me to use them now, making contact with the surface of the ramp when the tire is still a couple of...
  17. Day 1: Time to get to work

    Very generous of you to say so!
  18. First day trip!

    I'm not generally a fan of "red" for automobiles, but your photo acquits the color quite nicely. :thumbsup:
  19. I want to get back into Maverick-Do the dealerships still markup the hybrids?

    Most dealers in my area are selling at MSRP. I got mine for MSRP minus $2000 in incentives ($1000 for trade in, and $1000 for dealer financing -- which was an excellent 4.7%). I also didn't have to wrestle with the finance manager who made no effort to sell extended warranty packages, etc. I...
