Thank you! I did not know this was a feature. Works on 23 XLT w/LUX

Yes, it certainly won't improve the battery life. I'm guessing the compromise will be worth it to me. Making some wild guess assumptions here: if I knock 50% of the life out of a $250 12v battery, that's a cost of $125. If I save the food in the fridge and freezer, plus 1 night in a hotel, I'm...

Nice find.. But it's an XL on steelies not an XLT/Lariat with BAP!

As usual, Etrailer has a couple options, usually with install videos. https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Ford/Maverick/2023/C84BR.html?VehicleID=20236008073

I may have misunderstood your post. I don't think you can use rivnuts in the pre-drilled factory holes. You could get the Metric M8 X 1.25 Tap for $5, a tap/socket adapter for $20 IRWIN Tap Socket Set and 4 M8 X 1.25 bolts. A piece of black duct tape behind the bedliner hides a multitude of...

Did you decide to use these? How do they look and how are they holding up?

Somewhere between 500 and 5000 pounds something exciting will happen. I don't know the weight, or the exciting thing, however: The MTC, Maverick owners, and I dare say mankind, are thrilled with your goal of increasing human knowledge Try and keep from being underneath when conducting your...

Perhaps a support/brace for the top of the ramp?

Sounds like a good plan. What do you consider is the shelf life of a small gas motor? I.e. how long the rubbers and plastics will stay good? Maybe sometime soon sell it on craigslist/marketplace and buy it's replacement for the next X years. Just like keeping fresh gas.

Plugging in the whole house... now THAT would violate the warranty!

Sounds like a neat setup. For my goal of a home fridge, freezer, heat and hot plate, it appears I'd pull too much power for a couple of days with just the power station.

I'm not quite following your ground wiring observation. Wire 1 is the factory wire that grounds the truck. Wire 2 is the one I added. Bolt 3 connects the two and still grounds the truck.

Brilliant! Thank you. My winter "plan" is a combination of a recent fridge and recent freezer, hot water gas boiler (1 amp circulator pump, plus the igniter) and when those are off, an 1800w induction hot plate. In the summer we can head to the basement if it's too hot.

Can you tell me more about your setup? 1.1kw = 1100w right? Is there a battery as part of it?

A thanks to @TimeOutside for posting their 2000 Watt Removable Inverter Installation. This is basically their design with some more pictures. I plan to use this as an emergency generator if/when we lose power for a while. The parts I used are: Inverted, Fuse Holder, Wire, 5/16 Lugs...

Thanks @TheWiscoGuy, that got me heading the right direction. @dmopro, you might want to check again. It's metric for both @TheWizziard and I, as well as a metric socket for the battery clamp nut. That lug is M8-1.25, and a 5/16 washer/lug fit it well. But when it comes to the nut, it's...

A rivnut, mushroomed into sheetmetal, won't resist nearly the same pulling force as the factory tie down nuts. Here's a pic of what's behind the side tie downs.

Simmons Rockwell didn't on my 24 order. https://www.simmonsrockwellfordofhallstead.com

Do you recall the size of the positive unused battery stud? M8 1.25, 5/16 18, or something else?

If it can be fixed by switching to sport mode, does that narrow it down to a software issue?
