  1. Running boards on Mavericks

    My wife has mobility issues, so I found a set from RealTruck. Wound up being nearly impossible to install on our 25 Hybrid AWD. After a LOT of grinding to the captive bolts (the 'head' was too large to fit flush as needed to install), I was finally able to get them installed. I can't recommend...
  2. Recommendation for Extended Warranty

    I used to be in the "never get an extended warranty" camp, but there's so much tech in the new cars I consider it a decent risk/reward play. The risk is known and simple.... you buy the warranty and never use it (if you sell the vehicle before the term ends you could possibly recoup some cost...
  3. Recommendation for Extended Warranty

    Since the warranty is transferrable, you can get a premium if you ever sell the truck.
  4. Recommendation for Extended Warranty

    It's also worth noting the cost of the warranty is the same regardless of trim. XL, XLT, Lariat are all priced the same (though if you have AWD there's an up-charge). The higher trim trucks have more stuff to break, so it's a bit of a better deal. Cost are always lower if you get it within...
  5. Recommendation for Extended Warranty

    Granger is the go-to. Get a real Ford warranty, not an off brand. Consider the lighting rider to cover those $1000 headlights. Pick your miles,years and deductible to suite your needs. https://www.grangerfordprotect.com/
  6. Wireless Car Charger on 2025 Lariat

    A lot of phone cases lift the electronics of the phone up high enough off the pad to make wireless charging problematic. You'll also want to center your phone on the charge pad front-to-back and side-to-side. For my iPhone 16 I pushed it all the way forward, measured the resulting gap at the...
  7. Extended warranty

    if you are going to do it, it's best to get the extended warranty sooner rather than later. The coverage term is the same no matter when you sign up, since it's based on the date of the fist sale of the vehicle. If you wait a couple of years to get the 10 year extended coverage you'll be paying...
  8. Extended warranty

    I’d check with granger. Official ford warranty. I went with 10 yr 100k 0 deductible with the lighting rider. Too much high tech stuff and nothing that can be fixed under the shade tree. https://www.grangerfordprotect.com/
  9. Mobil-1 oil, filter + STP air filter < $40

    Saw this in my local Autozone flyer. Daughter's 25 XLT due for an oil change, and my 25 Lariat isn't that far behind. Think I'll pick up 2 sets and also some extra 0-20 full synthetic to top it off (2.5 hybrids take about 5.5 qts). Air filter looks easy to change as it's just behind the glove box.
  10. Cool features our Mavs should have

    The drivetrain from a PHEV Escape but also includes AWD. Just give me a larger battery and a plug! 40 miles ALL EV range is acceptable.
  11. Ham radio power source

    It’s the mobile mount for the radio. A small nut and bolt secured the aluminum piece
  12. Giveaway! Quick Survey – What Matters Most When Choosing Floor Mats?

    Fit and coverage. Something with a small lip to prevent large spills and water from flying off, and full coverage for the back seats - one large mat form-fitting over the hump, not 2 smaller ones.
  13. Turn off startup seatbelt status screen?

    Fwiw I used the free ForScan program to zero out all the seatbelt Nannie’s in our 25. We always buckle so we don’t miss them. Easy tweak.
  14. iOS update now wireless adapter doesn’t work

    I have a well-reviewed Ottocast Mini 2-1 wireless adapter that I use with my iPhone 16 in our Ioniq 6 (the 24s have wireless charging but NOT wireless carplay!) - anyway, we've had it all only a couple of months, When I first put in the adapter it worked great sarting up fast and connecting to...
  15. Anybody haul a dirtbike with a hard tonneau cover?

    If you don't mind the higher cost, some quad-folds fill fold up right behind the rear glass freeing up most of the room in the bed. It's a superior cover compared to some. You can open it 1/2 way and still have a secured top. It doesn't obstruct the 3rd brake light either...
  16. Mounting a Yaesu FTM-500DR ham radio?

    I gave up on putting the 991 up on the dash since it was within hitting distance of the passenger air bag, but my VHF/UHF dual bander with remote head works great. I bent a small piece of aluminum stock screwed to the radio bracket and have it just hanging from the open slot of the center...
  17. Recall Campaign 25C69 / NHTSA 25V863

    Had mine done at the house - free mobile service. Took about 10 minutes once they got the laptop fired up and connected. No issues. Good luck!
  18. Getting rid of SiriusXM

    For those looking for alternatives to Sirius XM may I suggest Radio Garden? It's a free app with no commercials that let's you stream radio stations from around the world. Much better than tune-in radio. There are still a few REAL, independent FM stations that are non-commercial, and not tied...
  19. Ham radio power source

    Here's a link to the plastic tray. A really nice add for the 25s+ https://www.amazon.com/BIBIBO-2025-Ford-Maverick-Dash/dp/B0F6V8LDV5/ref=ast_sto_dp_puis?th=1
