Howdy folks, If you're looking for a no muss, no fuss rack install, this probably isn't it. Also might be a bit of a teaser because I am waiting on weather warming up and staying dry for a spell before I really get stuck in. So maybe a month away. Most of the winter I had been staring at...

Hi Folks, Is anyone aware of any new tricks and attacks against 2025 up Ford vehicles, or maybe 2024s which had the updated key encryptions? I am asking because my wife thinks someone went into her 2025 Escape PHEV overnight, which we always lock. We use RFID pouches on the keys to try to...

Hi folks, I might pick up a cheap used bed extender, I might make one. What I need to know is exactly how much variety there is in the fixing systems. I can see two types at the moment, they just seem to be the reverse of each other. One is the mushroom peg on the truck side, socket on the...

Hi folks, I have been pondering my cargo system build. One thing I want it to be is somewhat reconfigurable, and I hope to do that on the fly without needing tools. So is anyone aware of one general type of wingnut, Tbar nut, wheel or knob nut, or those with a hinge up flange kind of thing...

Hi folks, This is initially about the impending expiry of the 2025 Escape packages which look identical to my 2025 Maverick packages, which will also expire in a few months. Items I know we use... Remote start, didn't think we would, but this winter got severe. Check on location, service...

Hi folks, Thought there was a thread for this, or maybe another one diverged, anyway, couldn't convince the search to find it. So sighted today, Siemens logo on the door, white XL, couldn't tell other details, had a Leer cap I think and ladder rack on top. Not sure what Siemens division it...

Hi Folks, The most obvious accessory omission of the Maverick in Lariat trim is of course the absence of a Vessel Boiling Electric, as equipped in a Challenger 2 main battle tank. Unfortunately, options in the civilian market are somewhat limited, so the best I could do was this which I...

Hi folks, Yes, they're finally on. These were a used buy with fairly decent tires off the local equivalent of "craigslist" called Kijiji. They seem to be "C wheels" brand Costco specials, 17x7.5 ET38, previously fitted to a Bronco Sport and wearing 3 year old Blizzak DM V2 with about half the...

Hi folks, Stock nuts on 19" Lariat rims are chonky bois, so needed something different for my aftermarket rims with tight holes. Being a natural cheapskate, I got the most economical option which was 2" long, for some reason the shorter sets cost a lot more. I also liked that this set had two...

Hi RealTruck, It appears that you stock some Ranch Fiberglass products. In the compatibility matrix on Ranch's site they have the Maverick checked in the column for their Legacy solid tonneau covers. There has been one or two folks asking about the oldskool one piece tonneaus, but apart from...

Hi folks, Just a quick report on hand calculated vs trip meter readings at my second full tank, where first tank was dealer "filled" only I think they only just give it enough to look full. So hand calculated over 475 miles was 39.8 mpg and shown on trip 2 was 40.2 mpg, which is less than a 2%...

Hi folks, I realise that no tonneau is absolutely secure, only various degrees of relatively. However, the Ford piece seems to have a fairly obvious exploit.... slim jim or coathanger to the release cable. Since it is a relatively common tonneau on Mavericks, I will surmise that thieves will...

Howdy folks, Broke open my garage-saled stash of random mud flaps and dug through them, there was a NOS pair of FORD labelled, otherwise flat plain jane mudguards. The style of the lettering looks kinda eighties to me. They seemed fairly vintage anyway... Hard to get a good shot holding one on...

Ummm,,, that's a smidgen on the high side. Doing the math for you, 100/22 = 4.54 recurring km per liter, 4.54../1.6 = 2.84 miles per litre, 2.84x3.8 = 10.8 Miles Per Gallon. It's super weird too because it's calling them electric miles when the motor was running the whole time. It was...

Hi MTC, I guess $20 of lumber might have done quite a lot, but I picked these up... https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/amazon-light-weight-bed-mat-possibility.69710/post-1158512 and I had some shower curtain rods, bought ages ago for a project that fizzled, and spare pipe...

Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has come up with a close to definitive list of socket sizes used on Maverick. I wanted to make up a bare minimum toolkit and I know what else I want or don't want. I can find roads a towtruck will refuse service to with 20 miles of home and there are a...

Howdy fellas, In the past I have read about cedar staining or damaging paintwork from the oils in it. Likewise treated lumber has copper compounds which might have catalytic activity with hydrocarbons. So I was wondering if anyone had noticed anything weird with long term use of lumber bed...

Hi MTC, I was focused on other features and forgot my Lariat was gonna come with the bed rail system... though how much of a "system" is it when all I'm seeing is the tiedowns? Not finding the threads about anything here, maybe because it's called by several common words. So is there...

Hey MTCers, Haven't taken delivery of the Mav yet, but I am thinking one of the earlier tasks might be picking up some fence panels, about 6'x6' ish. Pondering the way to secure those. So was wondering if anyone came up with a great way to do it, or a way they lashed down a similar load...

Hi folks, my pretentiously prolonged period of protracted procrastination probably proceeds to a point. ... yeah okay and I'm squeezing the trigger :wink: What happened was, Ford announces Employee Pricing in Ontario a day before our long weekend, yesterday.... whoopee, a whole two months to...
