That's unfortunate. I also have a 23 Lariat Tremor and have experienced zero issues thus far. Just brought it in for its 5K service (oil/tire rotation) and the dealer reported no problems detected.
So I contacted JCR for clarification on their Maverick skid plate. Following is their response:
Thanks for reaching out! Our Maverick catalytic converter skid plate would likely deter someone trying to quickly steal a catalytic converter; however, it is not designed to stop a determined thief...
Ford reportedly lost an estimated $36,000 on each EV sold. Ford took a $8 Billion dollar loan from the government to continue with its dream of producing its own batteries. They still owe $6 Billion from 2008 and the great recession. The only reason Ford posted a profit was because the bean...
Ford is a business, and they took a beating the last couple of years due to government pressure to build EV's, supply chain problems, and finally the mofo UAW strike almost put the final nail in their coffin. While prices have increased, I don't think they're unfair, and I would buy another if I...

Some think it's counterintuitive, but narrower tires perform better in the snow because you have more pounds per square inch contacting the road surface.
I'm still waiting for a manufacturer to offer a legit cat converter shield for the Maverick Eco. The Maverick has been selling in record numbers going on 4 years, so you'd think someone would have a feasible product to offer by now. Does anyone know of anything becoming available soon?
These Mofo's demands are outrageous and simply a matter of greed. They're putting their companies out of business and ultimately their jobs will disappear or go to Canada or Mexico. Legacy costs of their prior contracts adds over $3,000 to the cost of each vehicle manufactured. The CEO's of Ford...
