I got some good news from Ford today. I did not update this post, but I ended up opening a case with Ford customer care. First contact via email a couple days ago. First call, yesterday. Today⦠my part will be delivered Monday. Funny how that works. Thatās sarcastic, I do appreciate them jumping...
@Ford, if you see this, help!!!
TLDR: Mavericks have zero parts availability and it is super-frustrating!
First week of June this year, I entered my truck into the Carlisle Ford Nationals with the MTC, got to meet quite a few nice folks and see lots of Fords. On my way home (about 180...
No rubbing⦠with the caveat that the only off-road driving I do is in my driveway lol. Hand calculated MPG is about 10% worse on the highway. Speedo is off about 5%. So when the speedometer says Iām driving 60, Iām actually going 63.

Ceramic coated the Mav over the weekend.... came out really nice, but man, a lot of work. Did it myself. It is not an easy job, took a day and a half more or lessā¦. 2 coats. To do it right, the prep is kinda brutal, props for dudes that do work like that for a living. But I saved about a grand...
I have an XLT EB. I liked the seat comfort when I test drove one way back when. After mine came this year, I decided to get seat covers for protection, not comfort. Then before I bought some I was lucky enough to win a set in Carlisle at the Ford show⦠and I canāt say enough good things about...
I had mine done with fluid film, because it supposedly creeps into corners. Had a complete application including all the cavities like inside the rocker panels. I had to buy the clips for my guy, he didnāt have them. Took him about all dayā¦takes time to remove all the splash guards and fx4 skid...
I also noticed that the screws can be over-tightened, which causes the front of the light assembly to pop out of the little thing that holds the assembly in place. Loosened those up a bit and haven't had any trouble since.
