Well, since posting this thread I've upgraded to a 2025 Tremor, and I'm still rocking the same tent! This thing has paid for itself like 20 times over by now, saving me tons of money versus staying in hotels. I just drove from Chicago to Utah and all 3 nights I stayed in national forests on...
Everyone on Earth should carry a pistol. It'd be a lot more polite world. But, yes, Chicagoland and the way it has been run for decades with so-called "progressive" policies has resulted in an environment where you ought to take a few precautions to protect yourself and those around you...
Stay strapped or get clapped. Especially around here (Chicagoland). Compact and subcompact pistols also fit in the center console safe, just FYI. Full size pistols do not.
I came out of a 2022 Maverick that I preordered in 2021. Traded that bad boy in and went with a 2025 Tremor! Major upgrade! Here are a few things I did to it so far that I like, but I'm definitely looking for more ideas so fire away below!
Truck bed tent. This is a remnant from my 2022 Mavvy...
Full turn key kit. This worked great in my 2022 Maverick FX4 and always collected a bunch of grime, preventing it from crusting up my intake valves, but I recently got a 2025 Tremor and the new 2025 motors make it unnecessary (from what I've heard) - so I'm selling this kit.
I threw out the...
Every now and again when I buy something cool for my 2022 Mavvy I share it here with you guys and recently I bought a little USB wireless Android auto adapter for the truck! It works great!

I settled on this one for a few reasons:
They listed Ford...
I dunno, dude. Probably not. It was a super tight fit for the 225/65/17 I used. I'm betting you'd have to cut the sharks teeth to fit a 245 if you have the tow hitch.
100%. Even if you get the "full size spare" option (which I found out mine actually wasn't that option) it is still undersized. Deceptive marketing by Ford to call anything but a matching diameter spare a "full size spare". Smaller than factory wheel/tire diameter = not full sized.
Dude I wrote up a detailed article with pictures to help people and because I was excited to replace the factory Huffy spare with an actual full size spare. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess...
Also, I didn't really understand his question at first, but I replied multiple times to try and...
There is no such thing as a full size spare from Ford, even if you select it as an option. It's fake and definitely not full sized.
The only way to have a true full size spare, that matches your OE rims/tires, is to create one yourself.
For anyone wondering about the "full size spare" as defined by Ford, a few mashes of your keyboard and you could have found this helpful thread:

The full size spare that I made, using the links I posted on post #1...
read my reply above. I think you posted at almost the exact same time as I replied to the last guy (even though I stupidly didn't use the reply feature so I hope he still sees it!)
The full size spare (as pictured above) that I made is on the same 17" OE steelie wheel that comes on the XL. If you snag that rim and the tire I linked above it will for sure fit and be about 1,000,000 times better than the factory spare. Not sure if you'd get away with a 235 or 245, it's a...
I figured I post this here to try and help people out. I recently had a flat and was absolutely shocked to see that instead of a reasonable spare, Ford included basically a 1993 Toyota Tercel spare tire with my 100% fully optioned 2022 FX4 Maverick! WTF?!?
"Hey I know that flat has you...
