This bracket is only attached on the left-hand side, and was not designed for tie-downs or recovery hooks. Recovery tie-down provisions are designed into the frame rails in the form of oval holes.
I think a big part of the problem is just the nature of ordering from a dealer in greater L.A. I count 220 other 2023 Mavericks awaiting scheduling at Villa Ford. That is a huge amount of units to turn over.
Can you share your order code? I wonder if you are actually Priority 12.
I cannot emphasize enough how inadvisable this is! That sawtooth bracket is there specifically to catch the spare tire in a rear-end collision and keep it from impacting the fuel tank. The tire stowed as shown will not perform as designed. At best, this will lead to sidewall damage from...
Studio styling demands a taller hood, wiper motor packaging dictates they hang out lower on the cowl, and aerodynamics appreciates the wiper blades being out of the airflow.
Not normal. A Lariat with LKA will make no noise. Does it feel like a mechanical clicking, or maybe coming from the audio system? Can you tell roughly where the noise is coming from?
Yes, this is normal. On both EcoBoost and Hybrids the resonator (used to be just before the tailpipe on early builds) was deleted in favor of the resonance patch seen here. All Mavericks going forward are built this way.

Battery supply has been a problem since before the pandemic. Does not matter FHEV, PHEV, or BEV, raw materials and supplies are difficult to source right now.
Tremor's intercooler is approximately 40 mm rearward and 60 mm higher than a '22 EcoBoost (should also be noted that Tremor has an altogether different intercooler from base EcoBoost). Then throw in ride height difference between the two - roughly 20-25 mm.
No, the intercooler is higher in vehicle regardless of ride height. The the entire front module carrier is different, as well as the front structure. If you are thinking of trying to swap parts out on a '22 to get Tremor approach angle, it will not work.
Nope nope. Surely they exist in the world, there have been totaled Mavericks with the CMS/Tie-Down option, but I have had no luck on eBay or anywhere else. I will try talking to my dealership parts department to see if they can help.
The engineering part number is NZ6J-E27740-A, and the part...
