Lincoln Corsair, which is on same platform as Maverick, but like Maverick does not have Sync 4, offers phone-as-a-key feature on its Technology Package, but it requires dealer activatation. So perhaps you could pay the dealer to activate feature on Maverick.

But only if you can connect to cellular service, which is not always available in many rural areas. In such cases, you must have satellite reception.

I seem to be right about not having to install the Perimeter Plus security module that the Ford Build and Price page says is required to install key fob remote start. You only need to buy the key fobs. I found the 2021 installation instructions at motorcraftservice.com. The relevant...

And if my conclusion in my reply above is true, then you can enable perimeter security in the XL by removing the jumper wire which was installed in the VSS to defeat the perimeter security in the XL.

This is becoming increasingly confusing. I have read through these instructions. They refer to a remote access upgrade. This upgrade is the FordPass remote start system. This upgrade must be plugged into the Vehicle Start System to work. This is the same VSS module that provides key fob remote...

So you are saying that even though my vehicle will come with Perimeter Security, I still have to pay $208 for the Perimeter Security PLUS accessory to get the remote start module, pay to have that accessory installed, AND buy two key fobs @$95. I am now looking at north of $500 to add remote...

I would like to add Key Fob Remote Start as an accessory because key fob remote start is only available from the factory on the Lux packages. I know FordPass has remote start, but by the time you enter user name and password in the app I could have already walked to the truck. And I am not sure...

The headline for this thread asked about 12 volt outlets for XLT with base package. There are 4, as described above. If you add the XLT Lux package you get the 400 watt inverter (or you can add it as a free standing option). You lose the 12 volt outlet at the rear of the console and add a 120...

It is actually 4: one for the front seats, one for the back seats, one on the bed passenger side, and one on the bed drivers side, according to Ford specs.

Specs say two 12 volt power points, so that would be one in front panel and one on rear of console.

Don’t think your plan will work. This is a unibody vehicle; there will be no need for openings to run wires from bed to cab. On the Maverick, you can fold down the rear seat back and see where the headliner terminates. I am hoping that it will be relatively easy to insert an electricians...

The XLT has keypad entry on the drivers door. As you said, it’s practically useless because you still have to fish the key out of your pocket to turn on the ignition. However, it would be invaluable if you accidentally lock your keys in the truck, or just have to get in the cab without starting...

So why does the Maverick owners manual have five pages of instructions on how to use the factory navigation system?!

Why can’t you mount the CB antenna on the roof and run the antenna lead thru the center high mounter stop light. You may have to file a notch for the wire to fit in to reattach the lens cover. This is what I am planning to do for a SiriusXM antenna, and would be extremely disappointed to find...

Owners manual has instructions only for single mode automatic temperature control, no instructions for manual a/c. So pictures of instrument panel on Ford site probable right and trim specs probably wrong. Likely marketeers don’t know difference between manual ac and single temp control auto ac...

If the Ford training material is true, then why don’t they train the Ford marketing department. In all the sales and marketing material I have seen, they highlight all these differences between Sync and Sync 3: SYNC® 3 – Enhanced Voice Recognition Communications and Entertainment System...

Does anyone know if the B&O speaker package includes HD radio. It does in the Escape, which uses the same platform as the Maverick, but not one word about HD radio the the Maverick specs or order guides.

Buy the Vais Technology GSR-FD02 Adapter with SiriusXM magnetic antenna from Crutchfield. Attach the antenna to the roof and thread the antenna wire through the center high mounted stop light to the interior. Some filing may be required to reattached the light cover. Fold down the read seat and...

For those who have not decided on a trim level for their Maverick, I have prepared a comprehensive accounting of the trim differences for two Mavericks in the sweet spot of the Maverick price range: the XLT with XLT Luxury Package, and the Laredo without any option packages.
