When I got some porch steps for my house.....FB marketplace find.
Trailered about 45 miles to get and return only to realize, they did not fit....sold (and delivered) on FB marketplace.
Not that unusual....back in the day, manufacturers would recommend 2 years / 24K miles on shock replacement. Granted with today's better materials they do last longer but they are a wear item...
Ford spec's the 19" Goodyears as an extra load rated tire...presumably due to the shorter sidewalls to protect the rim from damage.
I am currently 35 PSI cold all around.
Only Bronco Sport Badlands has the 2.0L 4 cyl. EB motor.
Looking at Germains website - they list 12 BS Outer Banks with 10 being in the "courtesy or FCPT program" and the other 2 being for sale new but all have the 1.5L 3 cyl. EB motor.
The Bronco Sport courtesy vehicle is likely a 1.5L 3 cyl EB motor so you will not get the "full effect" that the 2.0L 4 cyl EB motor in the Maverick has, but that aside, glad you got a loaner and quickly into the dealer for service.
Just a little suspish...when a new member pops up and right out of the gate, its a complaint and then of course the good ole fashioned "I'll never buy another Ford ever again...." I had an Explorer that was a dud right out of the gate....got a loaner and fixed after a month of guessing by the...

The big-box multi outlet owned Ford store in my locality? Absolutely not!! After they could not properly diagnose my 2023 Explorer Timberline and it took over a month for them to finally figure out where the low speed front end rattle was coming from on a brand new vehicle. When it came to trade...
In instructions on page 2 as follows...uh...break line?? Maybe a specialty company like Steeda would take a moment to proof read and realize it is brake line?!?
If this is indeed accurate, it will push Ford to make improvements to Maverick to maintain its dominance it currently enjoys in the market. But, past actions only prove that Ford will ignore it, let it wither on the vine and then discontinue it claiming that they cannot compete in this market...
