It's nearly $5000 for the Leer Truck Cap for the Maverick here in Canada. When I do the math on my hourly wage to pay for that cap vs the time I have into my DIY cap I would suggest it's actually considerably easier to build than to buy. That doesn't even consider the fact that projects like...

I think the Flated tents are great for what they are, but they're not for me for many reasons. But absolutely no shade thrown at the company or those that like they're flated toppers, I'm happy there's plenty of options out there for every different owner and every different use. I'll take my...

If they existed we would all be terrified I'm sure of it. The only thing more aggressive than a racoon around here is probably the Canada Geese.

There's a lot of older high-rise caps with separate windows on the sides, I looked at these as options before I found this free cap. But there's not many with short sliding windows, I got super lucky finding this one. I originally expected to be cutting down a much larger cap both lengthwise and...

I'm 5'6" so there's just enough room for me across the bed and I should be fine without an extension. But I did consider a longer setup before I went with this option, the plan was a 6 foot long cap to overhang the dropped tailgate, then fill in all the space around the bottom of the...

Winnie approves this message and she will have plenty of space on the next trip!

I have no issues with the Flated toppers other than I don't like the look, and I don't like the cost. After hauling my assembled cap around just once I can see how the light weight is a huge bonus for the Flated topper though.

I only camp because it gets me closer to fishing spots, and I don't sleep well in a tent because I always think I'm going to get attacked in my sleep by venomous raccoons or something (we don't really have any animals to worry about on the east coast but that doesn't stop me from sleeping...

I am way too cheap to buy a brand new truck cap, I'm also not a big fan of the canvas soft caps and Flated toppers. But I wanted a cap to put on the truck to use as a better option than a tent for sleeping on camping trips. The best option for me was a free truck cap I got off Marketplace...

I did not have "Another Ford Maverick Recall" on my bingo card for this week. Just Kidding! I most definitely did! I'm just patiently waiting for an emissions recall sometime soon so Ford can pay to have my Check Engine Light turned off for me. The only Emissions recall I've seen so far was...

Not the first time I've heard that. I'm at 90K Kms (55K miles) so I'm outside the bumper to bumper but still inside the powertrain warranty. Unfortunately the powertrain warranty as written covers only the actual powertrain, and does not cover any of the electrical components that apparently are...

Ford wanted $1400 to change a speed sensor in my RDU that was keeping my AWD from working. Next time I suspect I can get it done in less than 7 hours but I really hope there’s not a next time.

I should add, if I was asked this question about 6 months ago I'd have said Yes I would buy again. I actually was looking at trade-in values and pricing 2025s for a short time. For the sake of everyone still happy with their Mavericks that would happily buy again, I hope it stays that way for...

90K KMs and 3 years of ownership on my 22. Endless recalls, deep sleep, check engine light is on (Emissions issue), AWD System failure (Speed sensor, parts ordered). I love a lot of things about this truck especially the gas mileage, but it all comes down to bang for the buck. If i could get...

I also thought a powertrain failure would be covered under the powertrain warranty, but apparently not. I'm at 90K and 3 years. I looked through the warranty and it seemed that electrical sensors were not included, but I could be wrong. I'd be willing to call other dealers around if there's any...

Oh I have no doubt that I'll figure it out if need be, and I'll definitely plan to be extra careful on the removal part. I just don't really want to blame the technician. I have plenty of reasons to be unhappy with the service I get from Ford, but that guy probably doesn't see nearly enough of...

Just a follow-up to this. I stopped in at my dealer yesterday to pay my bill for the diagnostics charge and see what I could learn. First off, my dealer charges $175 an hour. Holy smokes. That alone is enough of a reason to not go back to the dealer for anything not recall related at this...

Thanks all. I didn't get a chance to check the sensor location after I picked up the truck yesterday but I'll have a look tonight. I'm trying my best to give the benefit of the doubt here, maybe they're quoting an RDU fluid change as well at the very least, but as long as I can access the sensor...

I really hate to be "that guy" but I'm seriously questioning a recent repair quote I got from my dealer. I have an AWD Powertrain fault, just had the truck in to check it out. It came back as an RDU Speed Sensor Failure, I am being quoted $600 including the diagnostics charge and including a...

It’s almost open water fishing season.
