Thanks, Phil. These are now $23 on Amazon. I have the soft 3-section fold-up tonneau, so I will have to check and see if there are possible installation locations on it. I am in the last building on a long dead-end street in an apartment complex, with wide-open parking. If someone were to...

I bought my Maverick expressly to haul my 10-foot fishing kayak. I bought a $70 bed extender that works great, and will fit two kayaks. I fancied mine up with some pool noodles and ties to keep from scratching up the kayak, but it would work fine without the noodles. That is about as cheap as...

I'll have to get back to you. I am thinking up the stupidest possible reply that I have ever come up with. It will be gigantic. It scares me just thinking about it.

Don, I need details. A photo would help also. Such as: where did you install the player? how did you attach the velcro to the player? vertical? horizontal? what quantity of velcro? My second try with the 2-sided tape failed, and before I use the JBWeld, I would like to try your velcro...

Thanks, LTE. I am 80, and don't buy anything with resale value in mind. I have ordered some of the JB SuperWeld that has the light on the end for their "10-second" curing. I will still give it 24 hours, but it is an impressive video: a glued handle holding up heavy brick. Thanks again.

Hey Folks, my 2-sided tape curse continues. I have never had a 2-sided tape or Velcro that worked. I just bought a nice little CD player, based on a video I had seen where a guy installed one on the front of his console box. I put the 2-sided tape on the player and let it "set" for 24 hours...

Jone, I'm smarter than you...........................I'm colorblind.

A wise man told me years ago to stick with a brand name, as different manuracturers have different cocktails for their additives. Always made sense to me. I had always provided my own oil and filters for 60 years. Now that I don't change my own oil anymore, I will go with Ford, and hope that...

Earl, now with the UAW/Teamsters up in arms, I know exactly how you feel. Like Rosanne Rosannadanna said, "if it ain't one thin', it's somethin' else." I ordered my basic XL in June 2021. My dealer was on the ball and punched my order in right away. I waited 6 months before I received my...

Hello Folks. I have come into a little money, and I would like to install a CD player into my XL model 2022 Maverick. Ford contracts out all electronics. Is there any manufacturer who makes a CD player that will work in my Maverick? It can either replace my current unit or attach to the...

Hey Folks, just a quick update. I pick up my Maverick tomorrow morning. It arrived earlier this week, the 27th, and got the spray-in liner installed this morning. The truck is ready NOW, but I will pick it up tomorrow morning, Saturday. Ford's word was good: they told me delivery would be...

Thanks to all of you guys! Reading your responses reminded me of the 60 years of jump-starting other peoples' cars with my jumper cables, and what a PITA it was. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. For the first time in my life, I have no outside electrical hookup, as I live in an...

Hey Folks, this is my first Hybrid vehicle, so I have zero experience with electric engines. One of our members bought a NOCO 1250 Boost Portable Jump Starter for his hybrid Maverick. IS THIS SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE IN MY REAR STORAGE COMPARTMENT? The price is under $150, so, if I really need...

Man, I'm glad you came out OK! I bet it rattled your teeth some. In a slightly related story, I bought my first-year Mazda Tribute sight-unseen, based on the wonderful write-ups in the magazines and the great experience I had with my Miata. Well, I had the SUV only a few days when something...

I laughed myself right into an asthma attack! Right out of Laurel and Hardy. That said, I may have to quit watching this forum, as I am starting to make a list of the missing parts I am going to have to buy when my Maverick gets here. God willing, my build week is March 21.

Tim's video was very helpful, but I am sure that Ford has him on a leash of some sort. Regardless, it is a sad state of affairs that car purchases - NOT JUST FORD - at contingent on so many variables. The one that upsets me the most is that "If you had driven 100 miles to Big-guy Dealer B...

Jenny, I gotta laugh. Being a Scottish Baptist, I can tell you what to do with the Irish High Holy Days! Seriously, with all the shenanigans going on with new Mavericks at some dealerships, I would recommend your pretending that you are Protestant for ONE DAY, and get into that dealership and...

Thank you, SWM. I get miffed at folks who buy something advanced, then complain because it's not like the old version. Amazing. I could just hear them back in the late 1930's when automatic shift came out, "It works, but I don't have the clutch pedal to push anymore." WE had a saying in the...

Jeez, I hate to hear of ANYBODY getting "low-balled" by a dealership on a trade-in. So, I have to pass this along, and you can take it or leave it. My last two cars I sold just after keeping them only a little over a year. On my first one, on a friend's recommendation, I tried CARVANA. I was...

Yes, it seems a blatant rip-off of the Santa Cruz. As an old-timer, I have to laugh, as there would NEVER be a choice between buying a Ford or a Chevy. You were BORN a Ford or Chevy person. It will be interesting however, to see if the 2-door model can sell for a cheaper price than the 4-door...
