The limited availability and high cost of a short “regular “ cap for the Mac in addition to the limitation of the 4.5’ length is why I went with the used 1st gen Tacoma cap instead for this project. Funky looking for me is more than offset by the functionality and minimal cost. And the easy...
yes it comes with a USB charging cable, a double ended aux cable not usable with the Mac system and an earbud headphone system that works but does not sound as good as the in dash system. It does have a rechargeable Li Ion battery so you can use it as a standalone player or FMstereo or play off...
Wanted to be able to set up a sleepable camper on my ‘23 Mav. Found that a 1st gen Tacoma shell is the right width and 6’ long. I wanted it to be fully and easily removable so I attached it with 4 C clamps and a couple of inside straps. I removed the shell flip up rear window and put down the...
I just searched Amazon for KLIM Nomad. Available in several colors for $59.97. Arrived in about 4 days. The Nomad model has Bluetooth that works with Mav system. I just followed the KLIM manual step by step to pair it. Pretty straightforward.
Have just finished pairing it and listened through Mav system but have not yet driven it any distance nor on rough roads, etc. manual says has 120 second MP3 anti-skip and I think 100 second CD anti-skip. Should handle any roads I would drive while listening. I mostly want for long trips where...
The KLIM Nomad just cost me about $53 online after I saw really great reviews for it. It is a rechargeable lithium battery powered small portable that has Bluetooth and immediately paired and played through my 2023 XLT factory stereo. It also does wired or Bluetooth headphones or speakers. WAY...
I bought cheapest soft roll up from eBay in June for $140. Had single pull center release. Easy install. Adjustable for tension with a small supplied Allen wrench. Has been dry and trouble free since day one, even through Oregon rainy winter, though have not had any snow here. Some wind flex at...
Had same issue with local dealer not listed because they opted out of being a delivery point for modular bed liner being purchased through Ford Accessories using points plus cash BUT local parts department did order same item at same discounted price with points plus cash but in OR anything the...
Carrying comprehensive insurance (fire, theft, vandalism and glass damage) is essential. My comprehensive has a deductible except for glass coverage, which has a zero $ deductible. This pays for professional chip repair or windshield replacement (my choice) at zero expense. And I have used that...
After some prostate process I was in agony a week later in my just delivered XLT on a 5 hour trip. I stopped at Target and bought an oversized decorative faux-sheepskin pillow in the home decor department for $30 that is 16” square and 6”-8” thick. Immediate relief from cloud-like seating. Also...
After a prostate procedure I was in my brand new Maverick in a 200 mile drive and the pain from the seat was intolerable. I stopped at Target and bought a large faux sheepskin throw pillow (16” square and about 6-8” deep). Immediate sitting on a cloud relief. A little awkward getting in and up...
But the regen braking argument only applies to hybrids so one would need to determine if hybrid Mavs are getting rear ended at greater rates than non hybrid relative to the ratio of hybrids to non hybrids on the road for this to be a valid discussion. Without that breakdown this is just...
Had to do home delivery of my modular bed liner as the nearest dealer they showed for my zip code was 200 miles away despite having one 3 miles away! In trying to fix that I ended up with an order not using points or 20% discount and when I tried next morning at 7:30 am local time to cancel I...
I just drove my new XLT 200 miles then returned same distance next day. My never well-padded butt ached horribly by the second day. I stopped at a Target and bought a LARGE and thick faux sheepskin decorative pillow (about 24” square and 6-8” thick). Immediate relief. Sat higher relative to rear...
I do mostly very local driving with occasional 1000 mile highway use. I wanted the gas free in town use for high mpg so ordered a hybrid in September 2022 but switched the order to EB in December when it appeared I would get no Mav at all if I stayed with hybrid. Got my XLT EB FWD on my...
Decades ago I discovered that my poorly upholstered butt caused my leg to go numb if I kept my wallet in my rear hip pocket. I have carried it in my shirt pocket since and problem gone. Worth trying if the XL seats cause pain. Simpler than buying scrapyard seats. Which seem might be the answer...
