I’ve done a bunch of work on this. Extensions can work to get the rack far enough out to clear the tailgate, but then the thing is mega in the way. An extension plus swing arm can work, but then you’ve got a LOT of crap back there, too. A drop extension also works but still is gonna put the...
That news sucks on the SmartCap. When I inquired right when the first Mavericks started shipping they said they were definitely interested and likely. So apparently that changed.
Also, I think you folks that want a cap with a roof more in-line with the Maverick roof may regret it. I have the...
FWIW, SnugTop *is* Leer. I have the SnugTop on my Hybrid and it’s got a Leer manufacturing tag on it. If you Google it, TAG, the parent company of Leer, bought it in 2016 and it looks like there’s been integration between them, just like has happened with Leonard.
I didn’t like the SnugTop a...
You *do not need* it for the Hybrid.
First, for those who worry about your precious turbos, it’s not a turbo engine.
Second, for those who hate the delay it induces, there IS NO DELAY because the electric motor will get you moving *as it starts*.
Third, your accessories are basically...
At 2” narrower than even a Jeep Gladiator bed, I’d be worried about width, too. I didn’t check them all, but the Gladiator looked like their narrowest application, and it has a $49 upcharge for some reason as well.
Fairly certain its a pulse. I just went and tried it, but I don’t think you can know just from looking at or listening because the actuators just change state and stop. What I’m saying is I can’t see any difference in my topper actuator when short pressing or holding the button on the fob, but...
What problem does this solve? If you have a hand free to push that button, you have a hand free to open the gate.
Also, what exactly are you trying to do? Just a popper-style release and a soft-open so it doesn’t slam down, but with no way to automatically close? Or actuators that can open...
I feel like the only people considering truck bed campers for the Maverick have never actually seen a Maverick in person. It’s seriously just too small to be useful, IMHO. You give up soooo much because of the space constraints that you really might as well just be in a tent.
What I’m saying is...
Don’t pry it! According to this thread:
https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/fixed-point-roof-racks-yakima-landing-pads.10264/
It’s bolted from underneath and you have to pull at least some of the headliner to get to it’s mounting. That’s the bad news, but the good news is that...
Oh man, T-track where that black plastic trim is would be the bomb.
I can say for sure that Ford had or has plans for things they haven’t implemented yet. The SnugTop has a power module in the back corner that has plugs and fuses for a power lock module for the top, but there’s no such device...
Thanks again for this thread. I have an XLT but added a SnugTop and added a power lock to it. Still used the same wires you found (which I think someone else found for you) under the spare tire.
I just wanted to add that you do NOT need to fully remove the spare tire to get to that plug. Just...
I dunno, I have one and the fit and finish is as good as any top I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot of them (usually premium style ones like this, too).
FWIW, SnugTop is Leer. No idea why they chose to brand this top this way, but Leer/Leonard/SnugTop are all the same company now.
I’m most miffed...
Oh, and I did forego any thoughts of going through the plug system on the drivers side. For one, the wiring for the P&L has its own fuse already, and for another I didn’t find anything that told me which wires on which plugs I even should be using. At the end of the day it’s just two wires and...
Okay, done.
First, you do NOT need the complete kit with handle for your original key to override the popper. That info I found was wrong, at least for the latches we have. So buy the cheaper kit. And if you’re really handy with wiring and spade lugs and whatnot, you could actually probably...
Anyone know for sure what these pins in this plug are? They look like probably Molex, but anyone know for sure?

The SnugTop appears to be made by Leer. The Ford...
Okay, here’s what I know so far.
First, don’t know how or if it matters, but SnugTop is really Leer. I had no idea, and they seem to keep the website and dealer network separate. But there’s a “Leer” serial number tag on my SnugTop.
Second, the wiring looks like it has the OPTION to have a...
