It sat in Mexico for three weeks before it shipped. Then it went on a ride to Nebraska before it made it's way to Northern California.
It was at the rail yard for another six days before it made it to the dealership.
Your bed looks really good.
I went with the Ford bed mat and tailgate cover. I'm surprised at how "sticky" the rubber mat is. It may be a pain if I do want to slide something around in the bed.
I picked up my Maverick yesterday and put the D rings on this afternoon. The bolt hole in the D rings were 1/4" so I reamed them out with a 5/16" drill bit. The 8mm bolts worked fine after that.
I didn't get an ESP.
I have a question. Lets say I bought an extended service plan and my Maverick gets totaled in a wreck. Will the insurance company pay me back for the ESP? Or am I out of luck and it just disappears?
You're right. Same thing can happen after you get built.
I was hoping to get my Maverick by Memorial Day because I was built on 4/24. It showed up today, 6/14.
Good point.
Exactly how much load is too much? I think if people use reasonable care they will have no problems with these single attachment point tie downs.
Those will work. I thought about buying some but decided I wanted the D rings that lay flat.

These are the ones I bought. Just need my truck delivered so I can install them.

At the Ford dealership that I worked at we kept wire and convoluted tubing in stock. If we ran out a phone call to the parts store would have it delivered in less than a hour.
Those connectors are the only thing that needs to be ordered in advance. And you get enough to do five recalls.
I went to the dealership that I used to work at and ordered my accessory's from a friend. I'm not going to mess around with any online ordering from Ford.
