Hi Everyone,
I'm a ham radio operator as well as a CB radio operator and put a lot of thought into how to install antennas on the Ford Maverick so I wanted to give you some feedback on what I found about installs and running cables.
This writeup is going to focus on CB antenna installs but...
Did a test this evening. I wired up a 12V electronic device and ran the truck for a short trip - device was on (LED light glowing), pulled in the garage and turned off the truck and pulled out the key and started the stopwatch on the iPhone.
I DID NOT LOCK THE VEHICLE with the keyfob or...
I'm trying to remove one of these panels without breaking anything but can't seem to figure out how they are attached?
I'm running some wires to the back of the bed and I want to run them in the cavity (above the wheel wells) in the bed. There is a small vent right in the corner and I'm going...
Started my ecoboost and this message popped up. First time I’ve ever seen that one. It’s in an orange block in the middle of the dash display. Disappeared before I could get a photo of it.
I looked but no clutch pedal in my automatic :)
Ford got some weird software voodoo going in these trucks.
Definitely brighter - should help a bit with the camera. Maybe 20% brighter I'd guess.
Super easy install - two bolts for each lamp assembly (bolts are the grey ones - 8 mm). Plug and play.

Was installing this over the weekend and figured I’d make a video.
There is about 4-5 inch gap between exhaust muffler and bottom of plastic on the drivers side. I don’t think this would be an issue but on a 110 degree day with hours of sitting in traffic who knows. I may put some reflected...
Last night driving home on a country road with nothing on either side and a straight road my pre-collision assist warning light flashed on the dash with a message in red and it flickered on and off about 5 times and then stopped. I had no idea what was going on and it was hard to read because it...
So I have a crease in my drivers seat material and it seems like I'm not the only one. This to me IS a warranty issue as it's actually in the exact same place on my truck as the guy's truck in the video.
Anyone else have a crease in the same place?
As with many cars when you put a rear window down you get some pressure noise inside the car but learned today that with both rear windows down at 40 mph it will make your eardrums hurt :) Assuming it’s the same on other Maverick’s as well.
Make sure to crack a front window if you plan on...
Behind the rear seat there are these passive vents with rubber flaps and they seem to go to a void in between the bed and cab? Anyone know what these are?
Found chips in paint on front fender today, as bad as any chip I had on my 14 year old Honda Element with 225K I just sold. My wife’s 10 year old car doesn’t have any chips like this.
The list of little annoyances is starting to build.
If it’s getting chips after a month I can’t imagine how...
I had ordered these a while ago but they were out of stock and took forever to arrive so I got some different ones. These showed up today and I don't need them.

I haven't owned it very long but the splash guard in the front seems to scrape on every curb around here. My Honda Element never had this issue.
I keep pulling in to work or other places and then I hear that plastic scrape. Seems like it's only about 0.5" too long for most curbs. A 1" lift...
Everyone is all over the map with their gas milage so everyone can take this data with a grain of salt. It's simply my data.
XLT 4K AWD FX4 Ecoboost - 80% highway 20% city
Autostop Eliminator installed so my vehicle never turns off at lights.
Hand calculated numbers below. Car was very close...
Anyone else have any speaker rattle? Sounds like the speaker is vibrating, almost like a blown speaker but only happens on certain tones/voices. Annoying as __ck. I've never turned up the volume past 14 in the 3 weeks I've owned it and I only turned it up that high to try to hear the rattle...
Just a couple of photos to show different length boards in the Ford Maverick. I have the bed extender which works very well for this purpose and longer boards.
First is the 9'8" SUP with the bed extender down. I likely wouldn't try to put this in the bed without the extender.
Next up is my...
Hi Everyone,
I reached out to Wet Okole seat covers as they make some of the best fitting seat covers that are also waterproof to see if they have some for the Maverick yet. David answered my email and said they are still in need of a pattern or someone willing to come with a Maverick to their...
This is for the ecoboost models.
After doing my visual charts I thought it would useful for us to collect all the larger sizes that members have tried on the truck in one place and which ones fit the stock height without rubbing or which ones fit with rubbing or lift kits etc.
For those...
