I suppose that is a possibility, but the Maverick is my fourth vehicle, beginning in 2000, with a keypad, and none of them have been stolen, or broken into, for that matter. I used my 2005 Sport Trac to haul my kayak for several years, starting in 2017, and always left my keys in it, because I...
Unless you have made adjustments to increase the accuracy of colors on your monitor or screen, the inaccuracy may very well be due to the monitor and not Ford. If nothing else, go to a dealer and ask to see their brochures for the color. Compare that to your monitor or screen and see how much...
I had a 2005 Explorer Sport Track that I used to haul my kayak on crossbars over the cabin. It had tow hooks on the front, so I used the one on the passenger side for the bow line, and was able to run the stern line around the bumper. (I always carried the kayak on the passenger side so that...
The bow and stern lines are not intended to secure the kayak to the rack, but, rather, the whole setup to your vehicle, in the event the rack fails and detaches from your vehicle. They do not need to be tight, just snug enough that the whole apparatus stays with your vehicle rather than flying...
ON!! I have been turning on my headlights on my vehicles every time I drive, no matter the time of day or weather conditions, for the last two or three decades. I like having the DRLs always coming on so that I can actually take advantage of using the automatic headlamps. It is the same logic...
That is what I was thinking. Who is looking at them that closely anyway once they are on and no longer under scrutiny during installation. As low as those little gaps are on the vehicle, I decided they are a non-issue. :)
Well, I finally made up my mind and put the flares on my Maverick today. Even with the little imperfections, I decided I like the look enough, and I had already spent the money on them, so it was time to put them on. While I like the look of the truck without them, I think I like it a little...
I had no other charges beyond what I paid on the web site. The service advisor I talked with didn’t even mention money, just brought my keys to me in the waiting room when it was finished and was very pleasant even though I had asked them to install it that day with no appointment. It was a...
I had no issue with including the installation with the keypad when I placed my order on the website.
While you can physically stick the keypad yourself on the truck wherever you would like to have it, it is necessary for the dealer to program the keypad to your truck so that it can communicate...
I have always tended to at least throw up a hand when I see someone else driving what I am driving, whatever vehicle I have owned, in all of the 51 years I have had a driver’s license. If it happens to be the same color as mine , my wave is a little more enthusiastic. :)
The keypad was $120, installation was $24. I found a discount code online and the rest was covered by FordPass Rewards points from buying the truck. $0 out of pocket for me today!
If the digits had been oriented for that location, it would have a no brainer to put it there. I have had three other Ford vehicles with a keypad. Two of them had the keypad about where this one was placed. My 2010 Flex has the keypad as part of the cover on the B pillar. I have wrestled with...
After seeing the posts about all the different locations folks are putting their entry keypads, I decided to just see what the dealer did with mine today. I wasn’t too crazy about putting it above the door handle, which seemed to be where the dealers were installing them, but in the overall...
I received the replacement set of fender flares today (03/11/2024). In spite of this box also being rather beaten up (shipped from a warehouse via FedEx, rather than via Amazon, as the original set was), upon a quick inspection, this set appears to be intact. I am still undecided about whether I...
I am definitely not interested in having to go to all of that much trouble to make them right, especially since I am now questioning whether I even want them. I like the look, but I don’t feel a “need” to have them on anymore. It may be time to see if Ryan Gao will give me a refund instead of...
I wondered, too, how well they will survive being on the vehicle, but the smaller box inside the big Amazon box was pretty banged up, so I wasn’t surprised (but very disappointed) to find a broken tab.
