It's a beast. Do great things.

Arrived at the HomeyD this morning, parked my ’25 XLT Space White next to an earlier version XT in Oxford White with steelies. Still not a big fan of the Bandaid nosejob which is the ’25 grill, but I do like the extra elevation of the headlights. YMMV

There is a badge attached to the body just above the faux side vent. What is that? Dealer badge?

There is a product available on Amazon that is designed to fill this space. However it's received mediocre reviews, criticism that it's not reflective, and that the adhesive provided is lacking. I decided I wanted red reflective tape in this area as additional rear end protection. There are many...

Took a portion of carefully cut 2 inch, 3M reflector tape and filled the niches on both sides of the rear window.

The collected wisdom of bug gut warriors. I am grateful...

Congrats on the truck and welcome to the club. It was several decades ago I figured out I was a truck guy, not a car guy. At my age (late 60s) the Maverick hits the perfect notes to satisfy my truck needs. Long time ago my mom told me "never fall in love with something that can't love you back."...

I can see where some owners would view this as an improvement, but I like the big bin. That's where my sunglasses live... . The Maverick already has too many cubbies.

Nice! How will you customize it?

Seen north of Maricopa, AZ.

Is that a truck or a performance vehicle?

Bed & tail mat, mud flaps, tailgate assist, tonneau cover, door sill scuff plates, dashcam, mini box insert for armrest compartment, "MAVERICK" tailgate insert letters, orange side vent ornaments, hybrid badge for tailgate, and a sticker that says "no bad days."

That's one thing I like about the MTC: the people here seem to know a lot about a lot, aren't too full of themselves (most of them...), and enjoy sharing. Also, they drive a Maverick.

Yeouch! Hope you can get things put back together...

Hmmmm... For the ’25 year Maverick, Ford dropped the Hybrid badge, citing a desire to "streamline the look" of the vehicle. Great. Turns out I wanted the Hybrid badge on my Space White, so I stuck an aftermarket version on. Different strokes/different folks...

I got a good deal and was treated fairly at Carmax. YMMV

I took advantage of the Farm Bureau discount. When I asked my dealer if he would honor it, he said yes no problem. Later I asked him if he saw many people using the discount, and he said very rarely. I really can't understand that. Pay a little, get a discount. I guess people aren't paying...

That's likely a valid concern. I think it would be a serious problem if a driver were to use it frequently in place of regular braking. For my part, I'm still going to use it as a downshift around corners, which is a small percentage of my activities behind the wheel.

EXTRA TIP FROM THE OP: This is the best performance/handling tip ever (if you're me. Even if you're not, it still might be enjoyable). My previous vehicle was cheapish, two-door 2.4L 5-speed 1999 Tacoma truck. Compared to the hybrid Maverick, it was a Flintstones mobile. In fact there's only one...

Space White 2025 Ford Maverick XLT hybrid; Del Mar, California; April 2025. Notice the rear tail sports a Hybrid badge. Ford stopped badging the hybrid, so I added one... "Since57" — Another way of saying BUV (Boomer Utility Vehicle).
