I don't know if FoMoCo remedied this for MY '25, but MY '22-'24 Mav beds had a gap along both sides where the bed and vertical sides meet up. I used 3M automovie grade seam caulk to fill the seams. Filling the seams also prevents debris from lodging in the crack. So that uncaulked seam may be...

Just a guess - have you looked under the engine at the access panel they remove during an oil change to see if maybe it is not properly secured?

Others covered what I think are two of the main sources - the black insulation cushions inbetween the the front fender, [both left and right side] and the A pillar below the windshield. And the laminated acoustic windshield. My Lariat is reasonably quiet at highway speeds. Until I open my...

Hi HRG - Yes I did see your original post and link which I clicked on. I scrolled down to technical specs which is where I expected to find the details. BUT I did HRG - I didn't click on ALL the images on the left and the third image is where the illustrated instructions showing the back of...

Dobster95 - Battery = good to know. Do you have them? If so, how do you rate them? I looked for any tech or install links but didn't see any

I'm sure we all would like to hear from anyone who has them. My guess is they tap into the wiring for the footwell courtesy lights? But I would like to know if there is a wiring harness or if the install requires tapping into the wiring. I've added illuminated sills to other vehicles - I...

Me: '24 hybrid with moonroof, and I too have wondered that. I can't tell any difference in wind or noise in either position, whether the rear window is open or closed. I do notice that above 60mph the wind noise is much louder. Since SoCal freeways are mostly slow and go, I use my moonroof a...

Kilometers are abbreviated "km" so that threw me off. Still, 105,000 miles on the tranny is pretty good. As are others, I too am curious as to whether the auto trans fluid was changed at any point.

Joshoc88 - Question: Was your SIBL done by the dealer or did it come with SIBL from the factory? On my '22, I did LineX aftermarket SIBL [paid $500 cash] on my Mav and LineX sprayed the upper rail behind the rear window and the entire tailgate, both as you describe.

Tailgate. Second would be on the door.

Hi Joshoc88 - It is good to see that Ford improved the way it sprays bedliner. From your photo I can tell they omitted the oval Ford logo that was formerly ['24 and earlier] added to the SIBL which is not a loss. But as you show, they did the top rail and more of the tailgate, both areas are...

I just want to add, for those of us who have Mavs without the assist, there is a redneck hack which uses the tailgate camera and displays on the screen when you are in reverse. Simply open the tailgate, take one of the cables and wrap it around the upper black latch post. The camera will aim...

Mark - RE: has this been optional since the beginning... = My recollection is on the XL, yes, electric power mirrors were not standard on the early XL. They were bundled with the cruise control option. There were many posts regarding adding aftermarket cruise but I don't recall reading any...

I did this on another, older vehicle, NOT a Mav. As was suggested and if I were doing it on the Mav, I would find a wrecked Mav and pull the parts needed including the switch on the armrest and probably the armrest itself that includes the switch and wiring plug. You will need to purchase...

Not exactly sure what you are asking. As far as if this is the time to make a major purchase and take on debt, it really depends on your personal finances. And risk tolerance. I look at the financial markets as my guide. They are in turmoil due to the uncertainty. The usual "standard of the...

Me: '24 Lariat hybrid - Same with me. I have it set at the most sensitive and if/when it goes off it seems too late. And unpredictable. I don't rely on it. [I wish there was a way to turn it into a front parking sensor. Now that would be useful.] Oh, and the roadway graphic on the dash that...

Congrats on finally getting it. I'm glad you posted back with the progress. Did you have to pay any tariff? [I''m the one who labelled my original reply "snarky" about paying tariffs from MX, US and CAN] My '24 is the famous Ford Oxford white, aka work truck white. I haven't seen one in your...

RonR, you are using the proximity sensor feature and your keyfob/remote is somewhere on your body or in your pocket. But a family member couldn't walk up and open your truck, one of the ways the OP says he uses the keypad. That said, my '22 EB Lariat had a keypad. I never even programmed it...

RE: Reason for the cover = Based on posts from previous winters, and I am going from memory here, without the cover the tire sends water up into the cavity. It weeps out under the tail light. It also freezes in the cavity, so the cover reduces the amount of slush and road salt that the tire can...

Very nice write up and photos. The material you used seems perfect for this application.
