A couple more addons this past weekend: As mentioned, above, I was having problems getting the hood to open on the second pull of the hood-release. Jamming something under the front of the hood to provide some pressure up would allow me to open the hood. Based on one of the conversations in...

If there is a hard stop at both ends then absolute position of the physical shifter matters. In order to accommodate the auto-park feature then there would need to be some way of returning the physical position of the dial back to park. This adds complexity, which adds cost and more points of...

I'm not a Mets fan, but only because I really don't follow any sport. Not trying to denigrate those who do follow sports, it's just not my thing. I do like the blue and orange color combination.

I have a different brand tailgate damper, but also have the same roughly 1/4" clearance to the tail-light screw head. Though, I did discover the damper is in the way of removing that screw when I installed some Lasfit backup LED "bulb"s. I ended up removing the top T50 bolt because I didn't want...

Well, technically it was a color match to the orange trim in the XLT cabin. For pictures see my thread: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/may-i-present-to-you.35113/ That reminds me, need to add to the thread for the couple small add-ons this past weekend...

That seem steep. My local Line-X did my bed with color-match for $848.72, Granted, I'm in DE so there wasn't any sales tax...

This definitely depends on your location. I'm in the Wilmington, DE area and I've been looking for Mavs in the wild here even before I placed my order last September. The first Mav in the wild that I've seen was a few days after taking delivery. I waved, but I don't think the other driver saw me...

I like the rotary shifter, and am coming from driving standard transmissions mostly exclusively for the past several decades. Though, I'm not sure how a standard transmission would even work for a multi energy source powerplant as I have in my hybrid. As others have mentioned, I'm not bothered...

A youtube channel that I sometimes watch has a lot of good knotwork. Here is one of his videos on an easy to do and undo tie down hitch for securing loads in a pickup truck:

I've recycled my box, but according to my FedEx delivery manager the shipping weight was 4lbs and the shipping dimensions were 44x13x3 in. Too long for a carry-on, and what I remember from the lack of padding inside the box I wouldn't expect it to survive being checked baggage on an airline. In...

In addition to drainage that @GPCC_PeaCe mentions, they can also be used to pass electrical cables through for any lighting or outlet DIY additions that customers may want to add to the bed.

I have a tonneau (BAK X4s) and a Line-X SIBL. (See my "May I present to you..." thread for pictures.) I haven't checked my tonneau carefully for leaks, but the foam gasget strip didn't have any issues sticking to the SIBL coating on the top of the bulkhead right below the rear window. I did ask...

I have XLT so no bounce back, but my experience installing these window visors is all the windows except the driver's side I was able to do the 5 up and down w/o issue. On the driver's side I had to help the window up and back down the last bit by palming the glass and pushing up and down. The...

And hopefully the sticker price will return to being the "sucker's price"...

I, personally, haven't had an issue with the adjustability of the seat, but I do wish the headrest was tilt adjustable in my XLT Lux. I regularly wear a wide brim hat, and the back of the brim rubbing against the headrest causes me to hunch forward a bit. I either have to take the hat off, or...

In addition, I think the inverter has in internal cutout. I forget the video, but I remember seeing someone testing different loads on the inverter in a YouTube video. When he overloaded the outlet, not only did the output of the outlet cut out, but I think the indicator light started blinking...

I think it is to protect the top surface of the cover from the under-side slats when rolled up. Vibration from driving around with the cover rolled up might cause the slats to rub against the top cover causing blemishes. The felt (and rubber on the later models) act as soft spacers to reduce the...

More add-ons this weekend. Klutchtech Tailgate Assist. I went with Klutchtech because it looks the same as the DeeZee and has Maverick decals. Klutchtech Ford Maverick Hood Struts, again chosen from all the different brands because of the Maverick decal. Now that these shocks are installed...

I haven't hooked up to a trailer yet, but just thinking about the clearance from the tailgate to the receiver I would suspect that the tailgate fully down might not leave enough clearance for a trailer hitch. Now, put the tailgate in half-down position and it might help line up a hitch to the...

I've only driven once so far with the tailgate down (just got it from the SIBL company, and they wanted me to wait another hour or so before closing the tailgate to allow the SIBL to cure a little more). I backed up into my driveway at the end of that drive, and the backup camera gave me a...
