I did a write-up for the Yakima roof racks. I did a quick search on the Thule website and the AeroBar doesn't seem to have what is needed to mount on the naked roof of the Maverick. You would have to upgrade to the WingBar Edge or the WingBar/SquareBar Evo.

I hope Tim Bartz (@fordvideoguy) gets a chance to see this since he might have insight into what might have happened here. Ford Motor Company (@Ford Motor Company) might also be able to provide some insight if you can provide them the Sales Order information, dealer name, VIN, etc. with them. I...

If someone steps up to help organize, I bet we could establish a monthly event. I am subscribed to a weekly newsletter from Tom at idrivesocal.com. The newsletter lists events in southern California every day for the next week. Send me a private message with your email account, and I will...

The Carcadia event was good. I hope we can arrange a meet-up on a Sunday instead of Saturday, as the youth soccer season is around the corner. I am coaching two AYSO EXTRA teams and will be busy on most Saturdays starting September 9.

I ordered and purchased a 2022 Maverick XL Hybrid and received it eleven months later. I didn't like the hybrid, sold it to an MTC member, and ordered a 2023 Maverick XLT EB AWD instead. I received the EB AWD Maverick four months later. My son used my XLT EB AWD for about six months and loved...

I won't be able to take the measurements tomorrow. I will, however, get them for you on Saturday. If you don't see a reply by 12 PM PST, ping me to remind me to post the measurements you asked for here.

The replies are spot on. The algorithms are too complicated for mere mortals to reverse engineer. I was surprised when my 2022 XL Hybrid Hitch/CP360/SPIBL arrived in August 2022. I was equally surprised when my 2023 XLT EB AWD BAP/4KTow arrived in January 2023. I will NOT be surprised if the...

It might be 43 inches based on where you are measuring since there might be a full inch from the RoundBar adapter to the edge of the BaseLine Tower. Good point. Note, however, that this measurement is harder to do when the BaseLine Towers are loose -- before they are tightened down. My way is...

I should have mentioned that the information Yakima provides is incorrect. Here is a picture measuring the span between the BaseLine Towers on the front bar. As you can see, it is 46 inches, whereas the fitment lookup says 43 inches. If you look at the original pictures closely and realize...

Copy and paste this into the Google Form please... I would like to update the MTC dealerships list. https://forms.gle/3tox7w5d1AGmZQGL6

Great question. I had the bars without the fairings and didn't notice any noise. Adding the fairing to the front bars generated a small amount of noise. Adding the fairing to the shell bars had no noise impact.

Do we have a SoCal Meetup coming up soon? I might have missed something...

Most of the Yakima components I already owned. The clips and towers for the roof were purchased when I bought the 2022 XL Hybrid Maverick. I have owned the bars for several years. I picked up the towers for the shell a few months ago when I saw them advertised on Craigslist. All I had to do...

Roof Top Racks Yakima offers a roof rack for the cab rooftop with integrated cross bars. Here is that information for your reference: BaseLine FX System Integrated CrossBar System for Naked Roof Vehicles SKU: #baseline-fx-system BaseLine FX System – Yakima (You still need the BaseClip 180...

I can also measure my A.R.E. MX dimensions if those provided by @Maverickman74 are not enough. My shell is on a 23 XLT EB AWD. FWIW, I have the Yakima TrackTowers on the Yakima LandingPad (#1) with RoundBars installed on the A.R.E factory tracks if you need or want those measurements. I also...

@BigB @PNWMaverick @maverickjoe @realshelby @SLINGSHOT @iowaS10 @siberdraknon Please submit a report via the Google Form so I can update the Google Spreadsheet. https://forms.gle/5RB2J36ZKQEyhbaJ6 (do describe your experience briefly on the form please)

Neither the XLT nor the Lariat standard interiors work for me. I specifically ordered an XL for the 2022 Model Year because of the interior. I sold the 2022 Maverick XL Hybrid because I preferred the 8-speed transmission that comes with the Ecoboost and the AWD suspension. I was going to order...

Here is my 2023 Shadowblack Maverick with the A.R.E. MX-series shell with the OTR instead of painted to match.

If you search a List of Recommended Dealerships, you will find the Google Spreadsheet I maintain. The list depends upon people sharing (via a Google Form) their experience when purchasing their Retail order. The list of recommended dealerships in Pennsylvania includes: Woltz & Wind Ford...

I forgot to mention the MPG impact. I see a decline in 1-2 MPG due to the shell. The improvement to the ride and added utility is well worth the MPG reduction.
