  1. Domed decal lettering for tailgate

    "3D" makes more sense for some of us. Looks great! My only concern would be that the raised effect would be more vulnerable to getting bumped every time you wipe it down after washing or polishing. And speaking of waxing, it would seem those letters would trap wax residue. I don't know. Just...
  2. Mabett Smoked LED Tail Lights Are Here!

    Sorry, not a big fan of the blacked out look and I think the OEM lights are fine. Seems manufacturers are trying to outdo themselves over the lighting systems with more functions than one would see at a disco in Monaco. Backup lights seem minimal. When I'm backing up at night, I want good...
  3. Four Jump starts needed in nine months * * * UPDATE * * *

    Good point. First thing to check would be to determine whether he's got a wet cell or AGM battery. One would think the dealer would consider that in how they would solve the problem. Whether he has a wet cell or AGM, they should have replaced it.
  4. Infotainment - 2023 Maverick vs 2025 Maverick vs 2025 Ranger

    Don't know about the 25 Ranger, but the 25 Maverick has wireless connectivity to CarPlay. Not sure if that affected your comparison, but it sounds like Ford didn't update to a better version for the Ranger as you pointed out.
  5. New truck finally set up.

    It looks beautiful, but I've got news for you . . . you're never done! 😛
  6. Beware of Reverse sensing system

    Let's hope Ford gets this straightened out for you asap. In the meantime, be extra cautious and safe.
  7. Beware of Reverse sensing system

    I'd be happy knowing that you are equally capable driving forward. 😀
  8. Beware of Reverse sensing system

    Yet somehow we did backups on a daily basis before the camera tech. :giggle:
  9. Beware of Reverse sensing system

    Clearly, the sensors failed you. Unfortunately, I think the $2200 was probably an accurate amount.
  10. 💡 Converting the Maverick side badge to a signal lamp light -- DIY how-to and result video [night video added]

    You're welcome. My story is a bit ironic in that I purchased the items I mentioned, but have not had the need to install or use them since getting the AGM battery. Nonetheless, I like the design and convenience of simply running a power cable over to your vehicle and not have to hassle with...
  11. 💡 Converting the Maverick side badge to a signal lamp light -- DIY how-to and result video [night video added]

    Understood. You might want to look at a couple of products that offer an onboard charger and a charging port located on the front bumper. With Ford's wet cell OEM battery, this was a necessity, but after switching to an AGM battery, I've had no anxiety about needing to trickle charge my battery...
  12. Looking to buy a Lariat in the next 60 days!

    I didn't get to build mine. My Chevy Colorado had just caught fire and I needed a vehicle and my wife suggested the Maverick. The Maverick had just come out and I missed the online build window, so I searched a 100 mile radius to find what I could. Got lucky and found a lux packaged Lariat...
  13. Beware of Reverse sensing system

    Good grief. We've gotten to rely on those sensors so much that we forget to thoroughly check our surroundings. Sorry to hear about this. I was involved in a very minor accident while maneuvering my RV inside an auto repair lot and just skipped reporting it to insurance. I contacted the owner of...
  14. 2025 Maverick under 12,000 Miles hit by school bus!

    Sorry to hear about this. From you photos it looks repairable. I would take it to another repair shop if the one you go to tries to tell you it's totaled. On another note, with all the yelling going on inside a school bus during a normal drive, I'd be surprised if the driver understood what...
  15. 💡 Converting the Maverick side badge to a signal lamp light -- DIY how-to and result video [night video added]

    Very little effort, actually. It took me longer because I was going into unknown territory, but once you have the information it's quite easy to do. That's what's great about the club . . . others have cleared the path. Feel free to contact me if you decide to do it. I'm even happy to work with...
  16. 💡 Converting the Maverick side badge to a signal lamp light -- DIY how-to and result video [night video added]

    Correct. Others do, too. Mabett has two versions. Their first attempt was criticized due to water leakage. Second version had a different look, but had a better seal. It all depends on the look you want and how much you want to spend. At the time I did mine the Maverick was new and there were...
  17. Replacing the Hybrid's OEM 12v. Battery

    I've had absolutely no issues since the AGM battery swap and I would go so far as to say that most members who did the same would agree.
  18. Another door lock dilemma.

    You're not and don't be so hard on yourself. Sarcasm is difficult to convey and recognize without the luxury of facial expression or voice inflection. If it continues to bother you (and yes, I've been down that road on a post or two), just delete it.
