It's been a while, so I don't recall the details, but remove the seat backs, then unbolt the bench seat at the outside corners, and the middle seatbelt anchor. It wasn't too difficult.
Attached is a photo with the driver's seat all the way back. You'll be ok.
Yes, the extra layer of Packouts on the bottom is so the lowest drawer will clear. It's an awful workaround. But it was my compromise to get three full stacks (by cutting off parts of the bases) in the backseat.
I...
Yes. The brake lights definitely show up at night. You get used to it.
I have the Ecoboost. If the fuse panel under the glovebox in the hybrid is the same as the Ecoboost, follow the YouTube video I posted early in this thread to get info on the correct fuses to tap.
Moving the camera...
Yes, Wolfbox makes a mounting bracket for the G900 and their other models. You remove the existing mirror (see YouTube for videos showing how) and install wolfbox's bracket on the existing nub that Ford glued to the windshield...
Very happy with the Wolfbox G900. See this thread:

Oil change services sometimes refuse to work on them. I have the Fumoto on my Maverick and on both previous Sport Tracs. They drain much, much slower than removing the drain plug. And techs don't want to remove them because they're brass and tear easily if tightened a bit too hard. <look of...
Gripe: All those steering wheel buttons, and not one of them will pause my audio (avid audiobook listener). You have to hit the left radio button, or your phone to pause.
See photo. Drill hole underneath. No one will ever see it. I did it on my Lariat to foute a charging cable to the cubby (see second photo). Remove the dash panel ABOVE the charching row, and drill DOWN, not up from underneath. That way you can drill around the USP sockets and obstacles.
It just pulls down. Four clips, see circled "sockets" in photo below. There is a YouTube video I watched that showed someone removing it. Just use a nylon auto prybar to carefully and slowly pry it from the glass.
I personally like the Azure Gray/Lariat Brown combo. The brown looks better (darker) in person than it does in photos.
I liked the gray-blue/brown combination so much, that I added a leather key fob cover in the same combination:
I like the BAP somewhat . . . The all-black seat covers bother me a little in that they don't pick up the blue at all. If they had blue stitching, I think that would be a nice, subtle tie-in.
But I think the BAP price tag is ridiculously high. I'm, uh, frugal . . .
Perfectly. The Azure Gray is the closest match to the blue interior of all trim levels. So if you like the brown contrast (I do . . . ), get the Lariat.
I was setting off the vehicle alarm when my keys were in my pocket a few times a week. So I bought a leather cover. I have a Lariat in Azure Gray, so I bought this leather cover in blue/brown.
I wanted a very minimalist fob in my pocket, so you can see I cut off quite a bit of it. Just...
They come with a lot of clips. But I didn't use them. I just tucked the sides under the edge of the Maverick's trim pieces. My goal was to see zero carpet.
The Tuxmats have the best coverage (high sides and extend under the seats). They also wipe up to new clean when I'm at the carwash. I've had them 4 months and very happy with them. They were not cheap.
