Without data, we cannot say whether either the fluid or procedures are complicated.
That's what I'm trying to find out.
However, from information that's surfaces so far it actually doesn't seem complicated.
This thread was just posted, which includes service manual information.

Panda claims to sell a Redline fluid that matches and has the modifier already in it.

If the rear unit is, in fact, the same as the Focus I found this:

Which suggests, like your copy/paste, that the clutch packs are sealed and not serviceable. But the PTU itself can be serviced.
You need the ford fluid and...
I found this post, which references the bronco badlands, which has the same liquid cooled PTU

Afaik there is exactly one fluid that's licensed as a replacement for Mercon ULV
Kendall Versatrans ULV

By the spec and licensing this should be an appropriate alternative fluid but I haven't seen any information from anybody anywhere that...
The AWD mavericks call for 75W disconnect rear drive fluid.

I and a few others on here ordered from Galpin.
No deposit, no dealer markup, no BS.
I know Galpin is a mega-dealer so experiences will vary but I get the impression that their truck division is all about volume, so they want to keep orders simple in and out the door.
I know what you're saying has merit because people like black interiors but, actually, that's my main complaint about ordering the lariat tremor. I would have preferred the Lariat interior colors. Well, that and no cyber school bus paint.
I think that off-road adventures had a real dilemma...
I got this kit for both the clean and dirty side. One thing I'd like if UPR made is if they can make the hose with their quick-connects for returning it back to stock.
Then I don't need to worry about the Ford factory brittle disposable piece.
I reached out to Ford chat today and they told me they only see what's on the tracker website.
Maybe we talked to different chat systems. Which did you talk to?
Is there a reason I can't just fill it from the level plug using a basic fluid pump?
If so, can't I just skip the part of removing the air box and top air filter?
My guess is because the tremor comes with door and hood decals. The decal delete option isn't on the ford website last I checked, but it's on the dealer order sheet
Seeing this thread got my worried about my order :D
I was pretty sure the hitch was included but was confused by all the people saying it wasn't.
Strangely I don't see a hitch on the window sticker, it's just memory that it's included with the tremor package
Do the transmission. If you're doing everything else you might as well, and while you're at it make a video! I haven't been able to find one of the maverick transmission service
