That's an application problem. I put the exact same one on my Maverick. Clean the hood and decrease with isopropyl alcohol. Positioned it on the hood and outlined with blue painters tape. Then apply the adhesive promoter. I cut the red tape in the middle, top and bottom, then pulled out little...
They are adding a spacer that vents to atmosphere under the hood instead of the intake. The stock valve is still there. They just want to hear the whoosh!
I bought the lariat for adaptive cruise control and Lane centering. Everything else was just icing. I also wanted FX4 and 4K. I would have bought a 2025, but only for the improved 2L with the port injection. But in Ford's infinite wisdom they removed the FX4 option from the lariat, and I'm not...
This is the kit I have. I've used it six or seven times. I did have to file down some rough edges around the mold marks before I use them. https://a.co/d/7BgfZKg
Motrum clear markers and Diod Dynamics amber LEDs. Blue painters tape, plastic panel remover tool used to install. Put two or three layers of blue painters tape at the back of the lens overlapping slightly so you can tuck it behind the lens. Wedge in the flat end of the panel removal tool at the...
I bought a leftover 2024 in February. I didn't like the 2025 fascia. As far as the interior goes I really wish they would have just added the 13-in screen to the 2024 Lariat instrument cluster and controls. I would rather have analog gauges and physical buttons and dials. I drive a Transit 250...
I haven't installed them yet but the plastic itself looks pretty good. I'm thinking that any gaps is due to poor tape application. In a few spots the tape came all the way out to the edge of the flare. I'm guessing they need to train whoever's applying the tape to do a better job and maintain...
So I received my fender flares last night from Amazon. Today I took them out of the box and gave them a thorough inspection. The plastic and the flare itself looks really good, the texture appears to be even, the edges are nicely finished, smooth with no flashing. The tape application needs...
None of the Ford accessories are OEM. They don't make any of them. They are all third-party accessories but some are rebranded with a Ford sticker. Undercover makes the triad that he has on his truck. Undercover also makes the Ford branded swing out tool boxes. I just went to Ford Maverick...
There must be some confusion somewhere. I just looked at the undercover triad Maverick hardcover. It's a tri-fold cover just like every other tri-fold cover. The "tri" means it's three panels, the "fold" means it folds. The back panel folds onto the middle panel, then you can fold those two onto...
GM is developing a competitor but it's not the Montana. The South American Montana is smaller with a smaller engine and is available in front wheel drive only. I don't know what the competitor is but expect it for a 2028 model year, built in Kansas City. That plant just lost the Malibu and the...
2.3EB, LOBO suspension or better, 6 or 7 speed with paddle shifters. Overclock the RDU or PTU by .4% so the rear pushes just a tad more than the front pulls, better bolstered seats.
I purchased a Lariat FX4 4K package. I don't regret it but will acknowledge that it is overpriced. It is a very nice cheap truck but it's still a cheap truck. For that premium it should have came with a power passenger seat, memory seats, auto dimming rearview mirror, LEDs all around. And I'm...
I work in the automotive industry, wholesale third party exhaust. I drive 350 to 400 miles a day in a Transit 250. For the last 3 years every time I ran into another parts guy driving a Maverick I'd ask him how many miles and have they had any problems. It's mostly XL ecoboosts as those were the...
