Yep. It was easier than I expected too. I probably spent 90% of the time researching the correct sizes and parts ahead of time. The actual installing took only 10 minutes per tie-down.

Hyundai Elantra. This is my first truck ever.

Very very true. I can’t comment on the safety of any other holes in the floor except for the specific ones I tapped in the pic you see. Once my tap made it through the metal, I took it out. I experimented by passing a long metal rod through the hole and I didn’t hit anything for at least 3...

You should swap out the steelies for Voxx Ventos Machined w/ Dark Tint. Check out my review for photos. $150 each at Discount Tire.

I picked up a set of Voxx Vento wheels. They have 40mm offset (stock wheels on Maverick has 37.5mm). The wheel width is 7.5 in (stock is 7 in). I know the wheels are supposed to be roughly flush with the fenders. I think mine might be slightly negative (outside the fenders). But some stock...

LOL, that is absolutely not true. New oftentimes means WORSE since companies are expected to keep costs down and they’re willing to sacrifice quality. In todays world, customer feedback continues to show that people prefer big screens over audio quality. In other words, they’ll lose a lot of...

I’ve noticed the gas gauge to be inaccurate. As an example, when the gauge went down to the 3/4 full mark, I checked in the FordPass app and it said 85%. I prefer a regular gauge like prior years. This one has a digital pointer that skips huge distances. Plus it’s set up in such a way that you...

i just did a complete write up in the DIY section. It’s called “Instructions: Adding Bed Tie-Downs to 2025 XL”. If you’re talking about the pre-tapped threads along the sides where the rails can be installed, those use M8-1.25 bolts. I can confirm this 100% since I experimented by adding eye...

That’s what I’m wondering. Since Ford says the bottom threads are M6-1.0, and they clearly are not, maybe that’s how it was in prior models? 🤷🏻‍♂️

The base XL only comes with 4 tie-downs. I added 4 more. I used an aftermarket tie-down on the side wall rear at the TOP similar to the one already installed by Ford. For the ones on the FLOOR towards the front I used a flip anchor ring. I’ll leave a link to all these parts below. You’ll need a...

Honestly. How much can they be saving by getting rid of paper manuals? We’re talking paper. Jeez.

Really? I didn’t know there were differences in display features between the models. Is this true for 2025 models?

I’m finally getting great mpg numbers now that the weather is back above 60 degrees. Man, those cold temps REALLY kill the engine and battery. I was worried for a bit there. Thought I got a dud. But now I’m routinely getting trips around town in the mid-upper 40 mpgs. I even just got my first...

The temperature in my area went above 60 degrees for the first time since I bought by Maverick. I’m noticing the engine is running in electric mode a LOT more, even in first few minutes.

I’ve realized something. There’s a reason why I’ve been getting slightly lower average mpg than everyone else around here. Almost all of my driving is either very short (8 minutes to work) or very long (4 hour drive on tollway once a week at 85mph). Both of these fall outside the range of what...

Right!? I absolutely love how the cloth seats feel.

Yea I get the justification for keeping drive mode resetting to normal. I’m just talking about keeping the MyView always on the one you last had showing.

Great post. I shouldn’t complain if I’m getting better mpg in a truck than my previous economy car.

I’m getting 100% regen breaking on almost every stop. I’m coasting as much as possible. Not accelerating fast.
