Yes, pointer indicates middle/normal temp. But the icon is not normally red.

I'm no expert on it, but my understanding is it has small "micro" beads embedded in the tint film that do a great job at reflecting infrared light, so the tint is sometimes called "heat rejecting." https://thetintguy.com/ceramic-tint-vs-regular-tint/ No, I place it upside-down on the outside...

Clicking the Motorcraft link leads to a page saying it isn't right for my 2025 2.5L hybrid Maverick. Is there a difference for 2025?

Did the windshield free hand. Wound up needing to be shrunk to fit, which left some wrinkles.

Just checking before I try making my own. I made an outline for the front side windows, but the windshield's curve makes it more difficult to model from a picture.

Did the passenger side front window yesterday. Came out much better. I'm including the SVG here in case anyone else cares to use it.

After having my Maverick a week: Plug in hybrid variant.

I live in the southeast and am not a big fan of cooling down a boiling cabin with AC when I jump in, so this tint job is an effort to help keep things cooler. Started by taking a picture of the front window and tracing it out in Inkscape. Then used a vinyl cutter to try and cut out the...

Thank you all for the advice! I'll pick up some car wash soap, wax, and a wash mitt.

Hi all, Got my Maverick XL last week. This is the first vehicle I've owned with enough paint left to bother washing. I'd appreciate hearing your recommendations on how you wash your truck. Should I get one of those sponges on a stick to reach the roof? How do I not just grind dirt into the...

Hey, I want to say thanks for the advice posted in the thread. I called the dealership today and spoke with the financing guy. He said they will send me the $500 deposit back and get me the paperwork to cancel the uneeded contract options. Will have to see how this all shakes out, but I'm glad...

Yes, but replacement coverage is apparently similar. I'm just learning about it now. My auto insurance company offers replacement coverage but not gap.

Yeah, I don't have that kind of down payment to give me leeway haha. Looking at earlier MY mavericks depreciation curve, I think the gap coverage makes some sense for me. If I total the truck at five years I'd be kinda screwed.

The appearance package was a doozy. Over the phone they promised not to do any dealer options to the truck when I put the deposit down. And when I arrived to pick it up they had already applied a ceramic coating for $800... I think I should have balked, but I had also just read the paint chip...

Thanks @MavStangVa. I actually drove in from Alabama to buy the truck since I couldn't find any with the 4k towing package closer.. So they said that is Alabama taxes in the TN field. Didn't help with the whole taking my time to read the paperwork that I was in a hurry to get on the road and...

I'm pretty well aware that I don't negotiate well. But now that I have the paperwork and some time to look at it I'd at least like to know what all is in it.

Hi, I picked up my Maverick earlier this week, and while going through the paperwork I noticed that 1) the $500 deposit I put on the truck is missing and 2) Nowhere in the purchase agreement or any other documents they gave me is the employee pricing plan listed. I'm going to ask them to solve...

Considering that I was already in the middle of being taken for an absolute ride by them, he just smiled and nodded "Oh yeah, recently updated."

For the people who read the thread, here's what happened. I test-drove a 2024, and the edges in the "origami" areas of the cabin stood out pretty strongly. I think this is because they had the salt-and-pepper speckled plastic instead of the flat grey my 2025 has. And then when I saw my new...

Yep. I just misremembered and looked like a dumb ass in front of the sales guy. Par for ctag.
