  1. Tonneau Cover Recommendations

    Looks similar, but isn't identical. Mine is made in the U.S., it has curved edges and has a 600lb weight limit vs. 300 lbs for yours. I looked at that one you linked but couldn't find any information other than that ad or videos of it being installed so I passed. Undercover has a good reputation...
  2. Tonneau Cover Recommendations

    Decided to go with the Undercover Triad hard cover. Was $819, and with NY robber baron tax, it came out to $884. Ordered it from Carid and they shipped it out within 24 hours. The cover has an evenly distributed weight limit of 600 lbs making it one of the strongest covers in it's price range...
  3. Headlights confusion for oncoming drivers?

    Then you got the idiots in Pickups and jeeps that add as many lights as possible to the front of thier vehicles and drive with all of them on so they look like the mother ship from Close encounters of the third kind. Like little kids trying to get attention. Look at me! Look at me!
  4. XLT stereo is terrible 🤨

    I rented a Kia Sportage a few years ago and it had a similar touch screen and I could scroll through the albums track while on the move. It's just dumb you can't do that with the Maverick. Who the heck wants to have to come to a complete stop every time you want to pick a different album?
  5. Cargo Basket and MPG

    I've used the Rhino rack Vortex Aero bar removable roof rack on my 2012 Focus and 2018 Escape. Nice thing is some of the parts are interchangeable. So I can use the one from my Escape, but I will just have to buy the rubber foot pads for the Maverick as the roof slope is slightly different than...
  6. Dim touch screen, dim middle console

    I started having a problem with the touchscreen and middle console about 2 days after buying my Maverick. The first day i drove my Maverick, everything was fine. The touchscreen was bright. The second day (at this time I had not driven my Maverick in the dark) as I was driving I could see the...
  7. Headlights confusion for oncoming drivers?

    I think the fact that the Maverick uses 2 LED lights rather than just one for the headlights, is confusing some drivers. An oncoming driver flashed thier brights at me (at close range) because they must have thought I had my brights on seeing 4 lights lit up. Have to say I have almost never used...
  8. XLT stereo is terrible 🤨

    Okay, yeah, forgot I could do that. Now ...... another gripe is when I use the search for artist or album and the list of albums or artists is up on the screen, it won't allow me to scroll through the list while I am driving. It will let me start scrolling for a second or 2 and then some message...
  9. I want one!

    Guess I could always get one for the flight simulator. For now.:geek:
  10. I want one!

    Just happened on this video. That is some crazy ultralight flying there. :cool: I am not ready to slow down as I've gotten older. In fact I find myself wanting to do more in the time I have left on this planet. I did my first skydive at 45. Got my scuba diving certificate at 49. Haven't tried...
  11. XLT stereo is terrible 🤨

    My XLT's stereo sounds okay to me, but then again I'm not one of those people that likes my music real loud. My main gripe aside from the fact that there is no CD player is that there is no track selection. When I have my USB flash drive plugged in and I want to listen to a certain song, I have...
  12. Tonneau Cover Recommendations

    I've been watching video after video. Hard cover, soft cover. Pros and cons of each. Some of those cheap vinyl tri-folds flap going highway speed. Suggest you try to watch some YT reviews on whatever cover you decide. I'll probably go with the Extang Trifecta 2.0 Signature series if I decide to...
  13. Tonneau Cover Recommendations

    Tried to PM Realtruck, got no response. Maybe it takes some days for them to respond? Still trying to decide between a hard tri-fold and a soft top.
  14. Not seeing Mavericks in the wild... why not? How about your community?

    In the past couple of weeks or so I've seen more Mavericks than I did in the prior 8 months. I ended up being behind another Maverick in traffic at a stop light on two occasions just in the last week alone. So far since I ordered my Maverick I've seen a Silver, Area 51, White, Alto Blue, Cactus...
  15. Tonneau Cover Recommendations

    Anyone try one of the Amazon covers? I saw this one on Amazon but can't seem to find any reviews or pictures of it on an actual Maverick. The Maverick they have pictured with it on appears to be photo shopped.
  16. Window Shades for Maverick

    Someone on this forum told me about this one on Amazon. It's seems to be good quality and fits perfectly. Can't beat the price. I just got the windshield shade. I didn't get the side window shades so I can't comment on those.
  17. Wind buffeting

    Someone once said "there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers". That being said, the Maverick is the worst I've experienced with wind buffeting of any vehicle I've owned. I've never owned a pickup, so maybe it is a problem common to a pick up with a flat rear window. I just traded in my...
  18. Upgrading the XLT base audio system / door panel removal - finished with lots of pics.

    I agree it's fine, but then I'm not one of those people that likes playing thier music super loud and with a lot of base. To me super loud music just becomes noise and isn't enjoyable. That being said, one problem with the (door) speakers is that there is a lot of vibration in the door panel...
  19. Can Keyless entry Keypad door pillar be added to XL?

    Of course it was too simple and they had to make it more difficult. I used one of these types of keypads on my 2012 Focus and 2018 Escape and had no problem. But it seems like newer vehicles there are more steps. :rolleyes: I suggest watching some videos on YT. Here is one I found ...
