I built the same thing in wood DIY Bike rack with the wheels on. At 85#'s I'd use a ramp just to make my life easier.

Pretty sure it's BOTH.

If you've had this problem since you've owned the truck, what if Ford put XLT lug nuts on by mistake? Here are a couple pics clipped from MTC. Note the stock XL has a longer body between the bevel and the ring. The ring is what the caps clip to.

Any chance your lug nuts are defective? Perhaps swap your caps with another XL at the dealership? For pop off testing, what about pulling on the little notch with a luggage/fish scale? Unfortunately I have neither. Or at the dealer, compare with an XL on the lot by pulling both.

Stock oem _XL_ lugnuts?

That's a total bummer. I'm a fan of The Autopian and they _just_ got a new partner who's a car shipper Nexus Auto Transport I have no experience with Nexus but The Autopian folks are really cool

Excellent. When I did the same, I put a strap between the front 2 tie downs to keep the front down. Also brought an 8 foot 2x and tied everything together

That looks great. Thanks for the pics and write up. If you wanted to wire it up differently, you might find inspiration from @DTF-Garage who took the dash tray (and more) apart, posted at...

Sweet! How much faster do you think they'll make it?

Because we're humankind and we try new things. If everyone liked the same things every car on the road would be an atlas blue xlt and there would be no split level houses. We choose to do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

I'm on the lookout for a set of wheels with an open design I could use as a step/ladder. ... of course I'm cheap too!

I don't have one & this company's are currently out of stock, but the bed extender/ramp intrigues me. You'd still have to line it with mesh. https://readyramp.com/products/readyramp-i-beam-compact-bed-extender-ramp-black-90-open-50-on-truck

Love it. Does it have glides/wheels/casters underneath to make it easier to slide?

It looks like remote start is only $100 away: https://www.amazon.com/Start-X-Starter-Compatible-Maverick-Install/dp/B09XYZDN75/

Thanks, Yep, it's just a friction fit. Between it's weight and the bikes it's pretty solid. The straps on the bikes are also angled forward a bit, so that helps pin everything against the floor and cabin wall too. I think ford did a good job with the location of the bed pockets and the D rings...

I wanted to build a rack for 2 bikes that could serve double duty as a stand in the garage when not in the truck. The 2x4s on the ends were supposed to slot into the flexbed pockets to anchor the rack in the bed. In classic "I cut it three times and it's still to short" fashion, between the...

I love this forum. Just the info I needed. I held the button down with a screwdriver and pulled the mat off.

I get them as well when connecting the trailer. I'm tempted to mute all notifications in Android. I don't think I've gotten one that's been truly helpful.

Have you tried driving a used Maverick? I had a wine when it was new, but I don't hear it now. Could also be I've gotten desensitized.

Thanks all. For now I went with the 3M taillight repair tape. Time will tell how it ages.
