I was planning on ordering a 2024 Lariat as I sold my other vehicle. Found a 2023 lariat with only 1800 miles on it and dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse to trade in my 2022 XLT and drive it home that day. The upgrade was what I wanted and got to test drive it first. Yes it was a bit...
Yes, it is a matter of using the oem cruise wire harness and switch to replace the european cruise speed limiting switch they use. Everything is plug and play on it.
I followed the youtube video and this was very simple upgrade. The wire harness changeover was simple to do. The resulting feel and look ere well worth it.
If your Mav is an XL, you will need to use forscan to activate cruise control as well as buying the switches. Mine is XLT so it was just a matter of moving my OEM switches and the harness into the UK wheel. I really like the feel as well as the looks.
Just received my leather wrapped wheel I purchased on ebay from UK. Got here in about 2 weeks. Had to change wire harness and switches from my XLT for all to connect up in the ST wheel. It really feels comfy with the leather and the flat bottom on the wheel. Cost approx $250 with shipping...
I traded in my 2008 V8 sport trac for my Maverick. If it wasn't for the price and styling, I'd still be in the Sport Trac. It was a V8 too and my EB Maverick is pretty peppy, gets decent mpg and nice for driving around town.
So good to see that you provided all the details of this adventure with the help and support from the MTC members. Happy to hear you are very satisfied with your choice and that were able to get a Maverick. I love mine and hope the original dealer loses a few sales after this!
Rusty, he is replacing my 1983 first year Ranger I sold this past May. He was a true reliable small truck that deserves to continue on as a Maverick XLT eco. Would have like him to be a manual trans too, but I can adapt.
