@DrIllyich awesome. Been jealous of the Tacoma setup for months and now we have it for the Maverick. Ordered for my hybrid!

@protijy what a steal! Nice find.

@Haha48 yea I too have ripped some holes into that felt padding at the bottom by scrapping over some rocks. Not sure what a good way to repair it is. I was thinking of buying some heavy duty felt pad and super glew it on. 🙃

@ladyhawkgt is correct. That info was added afterwards. It was added by the Admin though, not me. I think the admin modifies the original post with extra info from the thread when the post is linked to the front page (which i think is a good thing).

@clavicus I use some heavy duty, weather proof velcro underneath the tonneau cover to attach the footbox. Water drips from the tonneau cover onto the footbox fabric and then onto the ground. I have only tried this in little bit of rain. May not hold up in very rainy weather.

@StillWaiting I did after a bunch of digging and moving forward in very small steps. It sucks. :)

@rclee I'm traveling alone, no other vehicles. And yea that is the scary bit some times. My average MPG over the 7k miles I have is 38.5 MPG. That is 90% highway and dirt roads. 10% city.

@vabchusa brilliant idea to extend the bed a bit. So simple. I may just give that a try to have a bit more room.

@Luckynail i went with KB Voodoo. They have a rack that fits the Maverick perfectly. No holes required. They also have clamps that go around the tonneau cover. It is a bit expensive (there are cheaper ones I saw on here), but I did get a small discount to get closer to the price of other...

It is definitely “compact”. Lets just say that 😀. That bothers me a little less. What is more challenging with a setup like this is that you are very exposed to the elements. If it is dusty, hot or cold outside, you’ll be experiencing that fully. i think a van or RV gives a bit more of a...

Another option is to sleep in the truck bed and create a “foot box”. I used a weather proof cover for outdoor furniture and cut of some excess fabric. I rarely sleep that way though. Only if I arrive somewhere too late and don’t want to setup the tent.

@Veritech This tent also has a “lounge chair” mode. so I have that setup in this video. but yes. The double version of the tent takes up most of the bed. There is also a single version that takes up half. .

@skadizzle Kamprite double cot. Not sure if it would fit someone above 6”. I’m 5.11. Fit fine, but not that much room left.

@skinnyboy i couldn't agree more. I even brought the information from this forum with me and told them to just do the software update. But nope. And this is a big Ford dealer in Bay Area. Sigh. But I'll find a dealer who will take it more seriously. I was planning to wait a few more weeks so...

@ladyhawkgt This is a hybrid XLT, no AWD. Standard tires (I'm burning through them before getting some off-roady) I've gotten stuck in sand a few times :LOL:

I’ve been living in my Maverick for the past 2 months. Travelling California, Nevada and Utah. Love the truck. Only wishlist item would be AWD for hybrid. This is a hybrid XLT, no AWD. Standard tires (I'm burning through them before getting some off-roady). I've gotten stuck in sand a few...

@Flomounier1 would you be willing to share the name/location of your dealer? I see you are near LA, which is close enough that I could maybe try your dealer to do the software update.

I tried the trickle charger but it couldn’t keep up with how fast the battery drains. Now I have installed a kill switch on the battery to “solve” the issue. That is because Ford dealer claimed they cannot reproduce any issue with the battery. (Which is silly because I can measure a large...

@Nighowl2000 thanks for the suggestion. Vehicle is currently parked in dark garage so don’t get much sun. @DiveBombDom what is a “harness” exactly? Part of the battery?

I’ll add my hybrid xlt to the list of cars with this problem :(. Although mine hasn’t died completely yet, if I don’t drive it for about 24 hours I get the “Deep sleep” message. The voltage after the last message was 12.52. So far I have had 4 of these messages in the last two weeks.
