I'm not sure I'd plasti-dip the rubber trays/inserts in the center console. Plasti-dip might not separate easily from a rubber surface the same way it would from a painted/plastic one. Plus, you can purchase black inserts (the ones that come with the XL) inexpensively from Ford parts.

If you'd rather not fly/can't get a ticket check out Amtrak! I used to take the train between Toledo and Pittsburgh all the time. The ride was about 6 hrs (red line) and Philly is probably another +6 or so hours but it's really not a bad gig. Tickets were $40-100 depending on how far in advance...
I'm not sure how things are in Maine, but here in Pennsylvania, the police really don't care. I drove around in a vehicle with Michigan plates (we don't do yearly inspections there, so no sticker) for 1.5+ years, and never once got pulled over for it. I could have just been lucky though.
I was looking at the Nero too. It's a nice little crossover, but I decided in the end that it didn't have enough space for my needs. My plan was to get close to the level of storage I would have gotten with the Maverick truck bed, since we don't have an alternative truck to use (I know a lot of...
I was looking at the RAV4 hybrid too. I agree, they seem to be priced super high. Plus, The exterior styling on the RAV4 really turns me off for some reason...
You could consider coating it with some sort of texturizer to match. Something line Rhino Liner maybe? A friend of mine coated his entire truck in Rhino Liner and it was hilarions. I hated it but it sure was durable.
That's hilarious that you got the picture from them. Uncanny. 😂
Here you go. They're expensive but they'll probably outlast the truck itself. RSI Smart Cap
They don't have anything that says they'll make a model for the maverick yet, but it looks like they do F-150 and Ranger caps. Wouldn't be surprised if they made one for the Mav if demand was high enough.
I had this on my to-buy list once my Mav finally arrived. It's a Phone holder on a long arm that suctions onto a surface. My tentative plan was to stick it on one of the inside walls of the little cubby next to the screen. Note that I have no idea of this idea would work or not or if it would...
I picked up a used 2020 Subaru Outback (2k miles) yesterday that I got an excellent deal on - just slightly less than what I would have paid for my hybrid XLT Lux Maverick. Unfortunately, my previous car was having some issues and was no longer reliable. I really wanted to wait for the Mav but...
That's actually a really good question. I'd bet you could swap the body colored mirrors with someone else who prefers the black capped ones (you'd have to find someone with your color). I know I'd honestly prefer the black, though it's not a high priority of mine to change them.
If all you want...
I'd recommend one of the phone holders that attach to your air vent. I'll be purchasing one for sure. They have models that plug into your USB and turn into a wireless charger when you attach the phone to it. A friend of mine had one recently and I really liked it. Of course, my phone doesn't do...

Click the link and go to "related parts." No idea why it's called radiant red. Obviously there are still some issues with the site but I'm about 80% sure those are the right ones.
Yeeaah, the prices on there are insane. I would like to think they'll go down as the truck rolls out to more customers though. Plus all those shortages too... I wonder if there's any chance the prices are intentionally marked up to dissuade people from buying this early?
I visited Softopper's website today to look and according to recent reviews, it seems like a lot of people are having trouble with the company (big, month-long delays with receiving orders). Possibly an issue with the new management? Personally, I think I'm going to stay away from them and go...
I'm in the opposite camp. I liked the XLT at first (it's still the trim level that I'll probably end up with, all things considered), but there's just so much going on in terms of color that it makes my head spin.
My personal gripe is actually the beige/greyish headliner on all 3 Mav trim...
That's a decent comparison. However, I think it'd only be fair if the ranger was also available in a hybrid, which it could be eventually (who knows?)
Part of it is aesthetics for me - I'm not a huge fan of the Ranger. I like the look of the Maverick and Ridgeline, partly because they're...
I like the interior better on the Ridgeline, but to each his own, eh? I miss real leather, and I'm not a fan of the brown/navy theme on the Lariat. The grey leather interior on the Ridgeline, however, is pretty much my ideal. It feels more premium (though you definitely pay for that premium...

Many of the pages don't have images yet or seem incomplete, but it's a great start. What Ford OEM parts do you plan to order, if any? I'm thinking of ordering trim pieces for the XL and swapping them to my XLT because I like the...
Personally, if the Ridgeline came out with a hybrid, I'd get one in a heartbeat, 2x cost be damned. Hell, there are rumors of one coming out in 2023. Maybe I'll do a trade in (assuming I even have my Mav by then 😂😅).
