I also have an A.R.E. MX on my Shadowblack 23 XLT EB AWD with BAP/4K Tow/CP360. I went with the OTR since I figured it would match the plastic on the bed rails, and because my entire truck is black anyway.
I don't have to worry about dogs or animals in the back. Thus, I have the sliding side...
Thank you for the replies and all of the real-world experiences. This is a brilliant idea, and I wish I could get one for my 1980 Toyota SR5 Longbed (my Maverick already has an A.R.E. MX-series mid-rise shell).
These look wonderful. I have several questions:
How well do they keep water out when the Maverick travels at highway speeds?
How much noise do the toppers make on the freeway at 70 to 80 MPH?
Do you have a configurator? A configurator would allow folks to see what options/features can be changed.
I sent my 2023 XLT EB AWD with the 4K Tow Package to Autonation Ford of Tusting to install the missing towing wiring harness.
The service advisor informed me it was the first one they did. The truck was in service for four days since they had to order and receive several testers to perform...
These San Diego dealerships have had a 'Warning' label on the MTC dealership tracking sheet for a while.
It's interesting to note that seven out of eighteen dealerships in California have a 'Warning' associated with them.
I disagree with this statement. The horror stories may relate to people who don't know how to make this work correctly. The key is having the buyer's and seller's financial institutions (FIs) manage all aspects of the transaction.
The seller's FI holds the title. As such, the seller's FI is...
Excellent observations! Based on them, you made all of the right decisions. It might be interesting to attempt to duplicate the stripes with vinyl so we can see what it looks like before turning it into paint.
Bottom line: It looks great, and you should be pleased with the outcome.
I will love the concept.
I would have taken some liberty with the design to suit the Ford Maverick's lines. If you look at the Boss Mustang, it provides some ideas.
The swoop on the side should continue to the hood. I might have found a way to change it from a straight line to a curve to match...
If you have not done so already, please submit a report using the Google form. This way, I can update the spreadsheet of recommended dealerships.

I don't think the question should be, "When will the order banks close?"
It dawned on me that we should identify any dealers still taking 1) Hybrid orders; and/or 2) Ecoboost orders.
For example, @Granger Ford had 75 openings and is no longer accepting new orders. We also know that...
I have gone through this process three times since 2022. The first was a 2022 Escape that came from the Midwest. The second and third were both Mavericks coming from Mexico.
Mavericks come into the US at the same point in Arizona. Then, they get rerouted to a rail yard, where it is transferred...
I wasn't going to order another Maverick. Yet, my son suggested he wanted one when he returned mine.
I had to find another dealership now that Autonation Ford of Tustin requires retail customers to agree to purchase $1280 in unnecessary charges. I also won't buy from Villa Ford or any...
List of dealerships updates:
I see reports from folks trying to place 2024 Maverick orders, and the dealerships are informing people upfront that the price is subject to change. These dealers also indicate an ADM on retail orders or suggest that they reserve the right to place an ADM on the...
My wife drives a 2022 plug-in hybrid Escape SEL. She is a teacher. Her average MPG is still heading up since she drives in EV mode during the summer. Her average MPG rises from 85 during the school year to over 200 during the summer.
We have solar (with battery backup) which generates more...
BelAir has been in business for a very long time because they do quality work for a reasonable price. I have been a customer for over three different decades. I wish I got compensated for the referral... Yet, I don't and still highly recommend them.
DM me if you want me to run my Maverick to...
I have a 23 XLT EB AWD with an A.R.E. MX-series midrise shell on the back and the Black Appearance Package (since I think the tires will also impact your mileage). I left TRIP 2 on from the first service and the combined MPG over this time is 25.4 MPG. It is a mix of slow commuting (Pleasanton...
Submit the name of the dealer using the Google Form. We should go ahead and log any dealer informing someone upfront that there is a dealer markup.

The independent rear suspension on the AWD EB is more enjoyable than the FWD Hybrid. I sold a 22 XL Hybrid when I ordered my 23 XLT EB AWD because I preferred the ride (and the 8-speed transmission over the CVT).
As others have stated, I would also be concerned about being at or over the...
We financed our 2022 Ford Escape PHEV SEL through a local credit union. The credit union offered an exceptional and full aftermarket warranty for significantly less than the Ford warranty. This might be an option.
As for your comment @Grumpa, the extended warranty price is based on extending...
