Update: dealer says their Ford rep says that because the pro trailer assist is standard on the Lariat, Lobo, and Tremor, production will be held in the queue until the feature can be installed. So supposedly, nothing needs done on our end and all of the high trims will have it regardless of...

I'm waiting to hear back from my dealer about this as well. I went with a loaded Lariat and I want ALL the advertised features. 😆

What is the tailgate change exactly? I consider the volume knob to be inconsequential due to having steering wheel volume controls. The knob on the right side would probably be a good change so that passengers can adjust the volume easier if needed, so kind of beneficial in my eyes. I couldn't...

Not exactly, "ambulance mode" allows the regular vehicle key to be removed from the ignition without shutting off the engine. The vehicle can be locked while running while the EMTs are away, but if someone breaks in and the key isn't reinserted into the ignition they can't take the vehicle as it...

They are for Ford vehicles used as emergency vehicles such as the F-Series and Transits as ambulances and Explorers as police SUVs. The builder will activate the software and wire in the necessary hardware to use those modes. https://www.fordpro.com/en-us/fleet-vehicles/ambulance/

They are typically tied into a physical switch or button you press. The switch with the picture of a crossed out key (top of pic, third key in the row with the orange switch) is the security switch. The vehicle is running but the key is laying right there. Press the switch up and remove the key...

Looks easy enough for the most part.

I added onto my prior post. A huge number of ambulances are based on the E and F series vans and truck bodies, and newer ones are based on the Transits. The software is likely universal.

Police dark mode for cruisers usually switches off all interior and exterior lighting in park but keeps the vehicle and accessory power running. Shifting into drive reactivates the lights. I imagine that should essentially be what that setting does. For ambulances, they have security switches...

There's usually an adapter that plugs into the high-level connector on the amp, check your box or see if it's an add-on you need to purchase separately. They look like below: https://www.amazon.com/speaker-level-input-harness/s?k=speaker+level+input+harness You can try a high-level input to RCA...

No, fuses are there for a reason. Don't hardwire a plate in between, car fires are no joke. This isn't something to yee-haw.

I've had the opportunity in the past month to compare the '24 Maverick Lariat B&O system to a stock '24 Rav4 / Corolla Cross system and my own ($$$$ expensive) aftermarket system. The Maverick B&O was definitely the least capable of the three audio systems by a fair margin. That said... it's...

@Ford Motor Company So, the Ford.com builder shows the Pro Trailer feature for the 2025 model year build... Isn't relying on the dealer to make sure the customer is informed that a major new feature for the 2025 model year WON'T be included with their vehicle a little sketchy, especially...

Would it be worthwhile or even possible for me to pop in my new Optima D75 Yellowtop AGM battery from my current vehicle when my Maverick arrives?

That's pretty lousy, I was expecting to have the feature that was advertised on the new model year when I ordered it. Why on earth authorize building the 2025 Mavs before all the features can be incorporated? That's sure to irritate more customers than just me.

Call your dealer and make sure they gave the correct email address. I ordered a higher trim later than you and I've received an email confirmation from Ford.

According to Crutchfield the hybrid power system doesn't like a high draw load. This may be the reasoning behind the Ford tech's warning as well. There are aftermarket harnesses that will tap into the stock headunit for adding amplifiers...

Needs Nascar headlight decals there.

Tinting with "clear" ceramic is high on my list of to-do's when my 2025 arrives. I'm wondering if you've noticed any issues with the windshield tint with polarized sunglasses... many tints can cause a rainbow effect while wearing them. Or any issues in general to share? I'm hesitant to film the...
