I noticed mine had a thick layer on top (stone chips on a couple of wheels), that's why I thought it wasn't powder coated. Wish it had a harder shell on the wheels.
I'm using the TAL 26 oz. bottle, found here, if the link works:

It's a snug fit, but it easily snaps right in my driver's door. They also seal pretty well, without a lot of hard torque pressure.
I almost ordered hot pepper red, but the dealer reminded me that it looks orange in certain lighting conditions, so I ordered the Atlas Blue. My favorite colors are (in order) medium to dark blue, and medium to dark red, so was glad to see Ruby Red for '25. If I ever get another Maverick, I...
After 15 months and just under 35k miles... Yes! I'd buy my '24 hybrid Maverick again. Just as I had guessed when I ordered it, it's now like an old catcher's mitt, or my favorite pair of jeans: Comfortable, all the utility and power I need, and it just works. I still smile every time I see it...

I went with Weather Tech also (based on past experience).
Pros:
* Nice and deep profile, saved me at least once when a big spill happened.
* Tough, take a lot of abuse.
* Looks nice, fast easy to clean. In a very salty winter in the Midwest, it took less than 5 minutes to go to a manual wash...
Half hour min wait at the local car wash. Still makes me smile everytime I look at it. ๐โค๐ป๐จ๐จ
But yeah... Got it washed the following morning. ๐
I've had mine for 11 months and I do enjoy driving it a lot. it's got a long wheelbase, but the proportions of the Maverick are just right (bumper to bumper, it's as long as a midsized Explorer). I agree that smoother roads feel better, but even on bumpy roads, mine has a nice firm feel, without...
Ha! I lost a parking slip in mine (lost the original ticket, not the validation slip). Couldn't dig it out, so I went to the gate to get out... There's an option to say 'lost ticket'. When I chose it, it let me out for free. But yeah, mind how long your parking slips are before you use that dang...
