Did you see the YouTube video I posted above? I am not the only one with this safety issue. I don’t know of any side mirrors that provide direct views of the rear of your vehicle, do you? At this time, I make my wife get out of the truck and make sure the area behind my truck is clear. But she...
Trying to put this response in context. So you are replying to point #4 of my 6 statements? ("4) Having large things (like the big furniture pieces I carry) in your bed means that your side mirrors are less useful than normal, and your rear view mirror is useless. If there is a kid or a dog...
Thanks MLowe05, I have been wondering if the Forscan app might help me with this issue. I can't imagine that so many people would actually put up with this over time, it is super annoying, especially if you are loading big furniture constantly.
Haha, I see that you missed my series of 6 logical statements. Do you have any logical statements in response, or just fanboy stuff to offer the group?

1) The Ford Maverick has a backup cam as standard equipment (required in all new vehicles by U.S. federal law since May 2018).
2) When you put the tailgate down and have...
Hi all,
I have been loving my new Maverick, it has been doing lots of truck work (moving furniture, etc) that could never have happened with our SUV. Also, it has been cold and snowy up here, and the AWD with stock tires has been amazing!
One of my biggest gripes though, is that the backup...
I live in a larger city (Minneapolis) with an AWD 4k tow Maverick, I don't drive a lot of highway miles. I am averaging 21 MPG in the city, I know that it gets a lot more when I get a chance to drive out of town. I generally go a little faster than most, 7-10 MPH above the speed limit is my...
Hey man, this is super cool, I love it! Can you make more of these? I would be happy to buy a wood block to fill this space so I can attach my own phone mount, etc. Let me know if I can Venmo you or find you on Etsy.
