Recently installed a dual USB port whatchamacallit in the cigarette lighter receptacle. Purposely chose a model with only an understated blue ring lighting its perimeter and no digital display, however have need of only one of the USB slots.
While can understand why the ports are illuminated...
Took the Maverick home from the dealer March 21. July 12, received a card in the mail from the dealer stating that "according to their records" the vehicle is coming due for a 5000 miles maintenance servicing.
In reality, just a smidgen over 222 miles total on the odometer as of July 12. Still...
Couple of videos with which to pass the time.
1) Let's all meet back here in 2032 and check, okay?
2) Valid, if less crucial, points. Over time what is initially deemed cumbersome may morph into becoming second nature.
And a bonus just for fun (video in Spanish). Does that exterior...
Done and done.
1) Rinse off any loose surface grime and debris, hand wash, rinse again, towel dry.
2) Apply spray ceramic coat. Following spray bottle instructions for initial application: two applications, 24 hours apart. The spray is, frankly, magical. Trick is to spritz it very sparingly...
1) Steering wheel cover with dashboard blue/Area 51 accents
2) Screen cubby disguise in matching dashboard blue. May leave it as is, or stick on magnets, or possibly use mini S hooks or even maybe even use it a ball point pen and pencil holder. Used a leftover piece from installing door edge...
Reminder that Ford's latest Maverick public relations dog and pony show is today at 7 p.m. Eastern time.
Set expectations for any substantive information to low, IMHO.
Around the edge and curving around to run across the bottom of the front doors. With my lifestyle don't anticipate ever having passengers in the back seat who will be opening the rear doors from the inside of the cab.
Little protection against being on the receiving end of dings, mostly for...
Don't do all that much driving anymore. Slightly shy of three weeks after taking ownership and now with around 60 miles total on the road, a few minor eccentricities which fall into the 'will eventually learn to live with it but would it were otherwise' category:
1) Headlight switch defaults to...
Strictly FYI for any who may not have tuned in or may have missed the nugget.
'22 Maverick production line to remain in operation through the bulk of October.
(Remainder of) April, May, June, July, August, September, (partial) October equals a skootch over seven months more to produce '22s.
No wiring, no light strips to stick or screw on.
Thought I'd take a chance and try this unit out. Arrived today. Strong magnet on one end. Rechargeable via USB.
Able to stand vertically on the truck bed floor but as I have the bed mat which would sit between the base of the thing and the floor...
Thinking about possibly getting some stick-on blind spot mirrors. Any recommendations for ones with truly robust adhesive? Experience with adjustable types (consider or avoid?) versus flat types?
Think along the lines of a tennis racket. Handle/stalk inserted into the FITS slot of the rear of the center console, spreading out into a panel with a grid or honeycomb pattern acting as a screen to discourage pets in the rear seat from moving to the front through the gap between the seats.
