Same! Was glad I went with the XL without a drop in protector. If I mess up the bed enough I'll get one or I'll get a spray in.
My 3rd upgrade was a steering wheel cover. Followed by a cubby box for that spot in back of the bed.. I keep all my small ropes and rachets in there. Then I got...
I am also guilty of asking dumb questions on here! But to your point, I noticed the zipper today as well and I didn't see the airbag tag, which is why I searched up "maverick front seat zipper" and this post came up. So thanks for asking the question for me! Don't be so hard on yourself 😂
Thank you so much for this info! I'm considering getting the elevate rack which seems to be the cheapest rack that is compatible with tonneau covers. However I was concerned about putting a longer ladder on just that rack. The short length of the bed doesn't seem like enough to hold a long...
What was the total cost of all the racks and the cover? I'd love to do something like this so I can haul extension ladders while having a tonneau cover.
I am glad you are so sure about everything but for me, posting about things I'm unsure about and reading replies and interacting with others who know more than I do about a topic is extremely helpful. To me, dropping from 50+ mpg to 13 mpg seemed like there could be something very wrong with my...
Just read a post here about driving in slippery mode to get higher MPGs and run off the electric motor more, so I figured I'd try it on my way to work.. I was surprised how much longer it stayed in electric motor! I got the highest MPGs I've ever gotten, with a bed full of tool boxes and saw...
Sorry for the confusing post - the setting was just a coincidence and had nothing to do with my MPGs. I was getting inaccurate readings when I drove short trips. I was only taking the truck around the corner and back for work, so I thought it was broken or something reading 13-18 MPG after each...
I have been noticing that as long as the trip is over 2 miles the MPGs on the dash go way up. I am consistently getting 45-50mpg on 10-15+ minute trips around town.
I checked my tire pressure and the dealership (or someone) had them all over 43+PSI. They are supposed to be 35 PSI, so I let...
We had terrible luck with Dickies seat covers in our RAV4. My wife is always spilling coffee and burning seats with cigarette embers that fall off by accident. So I figured I'd just get a cheap set to protect the cloth seats. I would have been better off draping a drop cloth over them. They...
I am a painter and I have my tools in my truck, plus I live in the North East. Anyways, I think this issue has been resolved. I can't count on getting high miles per gallon when I'm just making very short trips around town.
You are right. They are all short trips just to and from my job. The only other driving I do is highway driving where I average about 32mpg.
I was not aware that the average mpg the truck says each trip was inaccurate, or only accurate on longer trips. I'm not sure I understand why. I was...
Interesting. I realized that this setting turns itself back on automatically. However, even with it on, my mpgs have stayed high since I first posted this thread. Not sure what to make of this. The setting is on the steering wheel menu, scroll down until you get to the picture of the truck...
Edit* I realize that turning off trailer sway assist did not change my mpg and it was a coincidence that I noticed better mileage. The issue was that I am getting very low MPG on very short trips, when the trips are longer, like closer to a mile or more, the mpgs go up a bit. It is likely...
Do different trim levels come with different quality Continentals? I have the XL hybrid and the first thing I noticed was how shallow the treads were. So far they are working fine but I've only got about 850 miles on them and haven't driven in the snow yet. Can't wait until it snows to see...
I personally love the black ones and the bronze ones! I have the XL hybrid with steelies and I don't mind the look but would love to upgrade. What are you planning on doing with your black wheels? I bet they would look nice against my cactus gray 😉
My dealership said that "price protection" doesn't work when your order rolls over to a new model year. Which is absurd because why else would you need price protection??? Anyways, I called Ford and they said my dealership was wrong, but it's at their discretion what they want to charge me...
I have noticed a whining/whistling sound when I park the truck but leave it running. Doesn't bother me too much because it's not super loud. I haven't noticed it while driving, though. I hope op got some answers!
My dealership tried to sneak this into my order when I was ready to pay. I saw the $895 charge labeled "care free" next to it and thought "what the hell could That Be?" And the salesman said it's a special coating that protects the paint and interior for years. I smelled BS and he finally...
I have been using my hybrid Maverick XL for work since I got it last week. I still need to get ladder racks and a bed cover but in the mean time she still hauls like a champ!
