Sharp looking Maverick! Welcome to the club and here's to many miles and years of safe and happy travels. Feel free to post your experiences as we love to hear about our favorite truck.

Fender flares definitely add to the beauty of your truck!

Regarding your battery: Wet cell or AGM replacement?

It's most likely just a cost-cutting decision. I don't think Ford is involved in any seat cushion conspiracy, but, they have been known to be unethical, so I understand your suspicions.

I agree, but according to the OP, the car seat manufacturer offers extended tethers.. Surely, that would be within the safety design of their product.

I wasn't aware of Ford acknowledging that the 12v battery (AGM) is an ongoing problem. I have only read about one or two owners who have trouble with an AGM battery. Are there a few bad 'apples' in the manufacturing? Of course. I'm not saying it isn't a problem, but definitely much better...

Most would probably agree with you. There are some folks who live in higher humidity climates and frankly, sweat a lot. For myself, I'm not admitting to either. LOL. These covers help eliminate that 'dank' feeling one can get.

Apologies if I'm not completely understanding, but what if you purchased two tether extensions and just left them attached to the back of the seat. Then you could easily connect/unconnect from the extended tether's other end. No?

According to Amazon, the UPLUS battery has a 3yr warranty and they have fixed offices in CA & GA., but no mention of how one would replace other than hands on. I know some vendors would just say keep the bad battery and they will just ship you a replacement. I would agree having the convenience...

I think you won the internet for the most improbable reason for an annoying noise in your vehicle. Luckily for both of you, the squirrel wasn't doing it when you drove off.

Grandpa here, as well. Grandchildren past the age of needing a car seat, but not hoping for any great grand children too soon. Back to your issue. Sounds like a longer tether would solve your concern. You could leave it draped over the back support cushion making it easy to attach and then...

Tough call. I'd be a little suspicious of the 'not 100%'. You could probably do it yourself at "not 100%". If you're planning on keeping the truck for a good amount of time, I'd say do it right. There are those that aren't that fussy about their vehicles and that's fine, but you sound as if you...

According to Ford, the Maverick only has battery problems when not in use for awhile. I would take that with a boulder of salt and be prepared. Two routes to take; bring along a jump start unit or better yet, just replace the wet cell battery with an AGM. I can pretty much guarantee you won't...

Definitely something to be cautious about. I don't know how much protection plastic would provide for the lens coverings, but if they would save me from having to replace a pricey item, then it might be worth it. I agree with you in that I would need to see them in hand.

Initially, I got just one for the driver's seat, but then I too fell victim to the wife's complaining about burning her legs. Fair enough, but when I told her I'd be happy to get a second one, she said, "No, it's fine." We all know what that means . . . the opposite. I let her burn her legs for...

Ok, then it was partially your bad call. Glad to hear no damage to truck or yourself. You are forgiven. Go in peace. ;)

The size, H4, is the correct size for your Maverick. Price is about what others are charging. Battery manufacturers will make identical batteries, but will contract out to different retailers, so your Walmart battery is probably no different than a number of other 'brands'.

Glad to hear!

Definitely not your fault. More like a bad design by the manufacturer.

Keep looking. There's quite a few out there. Just need to find the right vendor. I honestly don't remember where I got mine in 2022.
