  1. Custom flexible bed divider DIY - Updated with specs

    I melded ideas from through out this forum and make my own flexible bed divider. I cut wide dado slots in a cross board to match the dips in the bed. Then I made dividers that fit into the bed slots and into the dado slots. I added foam strips on the end to go into the tailgate to hold...
  2. Ford app will not connect to truck. Connectivity setting missing.

    My radio froze the other day. I asked on this thread about it. I looked at my friend's truck. The option for connectivity setting, circled in the pic, is missing on my truck. All Ford help says to go to this setting and reset it. What do I do if the setting is not there? I have factory...
  3. Radio pooped the bed

    My 22 maverick's radio froze the other day and nothing worked. I did a factory reset through settings. I got some kind of indexing already finished message. This made things worse. Now I cannot connect the app to the truck. Whenever I try I get an error that says the radio rejected the...
  4. Falken WildPeak A/T Trail Tire life mileage results

    My FX4 Maverick had the stock Perilli tires. They were down to the wear mark at 17,000 miles. They were rotated properly, and all wore evenly. Thanks PA hills and Tar and Chipped roads. I replaced them with WildPeak A/T trails that were the same size as stock. I just replaced them at 32,000...
  5. How I haul my bikes

    I didn't want to use a bike carrier or tailgate pad. So U used a 2x6 upfront. I had to block out the fork mounts and have them at different heights to get the bikes to fit. The smallest doesn't have quick release tires so I made a tire holder and use a clamp to keep it tight. They are 20...
  6. Possible solution for software update errors

    I have been trying for 2 days to update the software in my XLT. I have had issues with everything from wifi refusing to connect to being stuck at 0%. I have tried the soft reset and turning the truck on and off. Nothing worked. Finally I went into setting and did a factory reset of the...
  7. Here is how to change FX4 oil filter without removing the big skid plate.

    What I do is carefully fold the aluminum foil and then crack the filter and let it drain into the catch. Let it drain and finish removing filter. No mess no fuss. That with the FUMOTO valve in the back made for a quick, clean oil change.
  8. When they say the Mav is too small…….

    Show them it is big enough to haul a planet. My wife painted a giant beach ball like a planted for VBS this year.
  9. Won’t use much, but price on bed extender was too good to pass up.

    I would not spend $180 on a bed extender because I won’t use it much. But I got this one on an Amazon return auction site. I bid $20 figuring someone else would our bid me. No one did. So for $20 I will take it. Not Ford but aftermarket from Amazon.
  10. Is this part safe to remove or is there an aftermarket replacement or does it not matter?

    This part of the intake is very narrow. IT seems like it would be a restriction to airflow. It is possible to remove it and just leave to hole into the airbox. Or is there an aftermarket replacement that is a wider pipe? Or is it not worth it for a stock engine. I know there will be 100...
  11. Pennsylvania Front only, all weather floor mats. Ecoboost.

    I didn't like the front all weather floor mats. I got Weather tech fronts. Lowball me an offer. I am 40 min south of Pittsburgh on 51. I don't want to drive or ship. But I will meet someplace close.
  12. Wiper blade length wrong

    I went to change wipers on my ‘22. Everywhere says it takes a 22 inch driver side blade. My truck has a 23 inch blade. I am assuming there is nothing wrong with putting another 23 inch on? The passenger has the 21 inch.
  13. 12,000 miles with Buschur's catch can.

    I bought the Buschur's catch can for my 2.0 EB. After 12,000 miles this is what came out. I check every 1,000 miles and it took 12,000 miles for something to come out. I am not knocking the catch can. I drive extremely conservatively. Maybe if you drive more aggressive you will get more.
  14. full size spare rim question.

    Maybe this has been answered. If it has sorry. I know that the "full size spare" is not a true full size spare, but is it possible to mount a full size tire on the rim? I have 225/65 r 17 tires. Could I buy a cheap 225/65 tire and mount it on the spare rim as a "just in Case"?
  15. It isn't just Ford dealers taking advantage of customers

    We ordered a 22 Kia Telluride n March of this year. Our dealer (who has been as helpful as possible) told me this week that if we don't get scheduled buy the end of the month Kia will cancel our order and we need to come back in October 1st and reorder a 23 model. I asked if we would be in...
  16. FX4 and sport mode/gear ratio conflict maybe?

    If this is a silly question I am sorry. I am not a mechanic or engineer. I can watch a few YouTube videos and basically become an expert though. I want to add the sport mode and eco mode to my FX4. could the programing for those two drive modes possibly not be optimized for the different gear...
  17. Update on Fumoto drain plug, new one works.

    I bough a Fumoto drain plug and talked about it here and how it didn't fit with the FX4 skid pate. I contacted the company and they sent me a different model. The F137S with a 1/2 inch adapter. It fit. There is enough clearance and the plastic cover does not get in the way. Here is a pic of...
  18. I added USB power and lighting to my XLT truck bed - DIY writeup & photos

    I made two modifications to the bed of the truck with the included 12V power access points near the tailgate. First I bought a second bed storage cubby for the driver side since the XLT is only a cover and wanted to add a 12V socket and USB charger inside the storage cubby. I bought this dual...
  19. Tool box storage behind rear seats

    I saw the other day someone put at harbor freight tool kit behind the rear seat. So I copied their idea. I found that the tools rattled in the case. So I added a few small towels inside. I used two bungee straps and connected them to the latch hooks since I don’t need them. It is a snug fit and...
  20. I 3d printed a console organizer

    I bought the 3d plans for a center organizer I found in this tread and had my SIL print it for me. I found an orange that kinda matches, but is a bit brighter. Since you cannot see it when closed it doesn't matter, but it is bright am helpful to find things in it. It looks great. It was...
