Short answer, yes things like this are available for the Maverick. Opinion: For me, the ideal version of this does not exist. Take a look at the existing faux-vent decoration on the Maverick. It's sleek and flush against the body of the truck. All existing replacements look like a fat wart on...

I put those holes to use, in conjunction with M8 x 150mm L-Shaped Right Angle Bolt Screws, to create a hold-down for a 2x6 piece of lumber. The project intent was a DIY bike rack. Works great. The designers at Ford put a "floor" under those holes so the bolts don't drop down into the mechanical...

Not my cuppa, but you do you.

I bought these at Amazon and they fit perfectly. Just add some ratchet straps and a cargo net and you're good to go.

The article’s main claim is right: EPA issued a temporary emergency waiver allowing nationwide E15 sales starting May 1, 2026. It is also fair that E15 is a 15% ethanol blend and may slightly reduce fuel economy versus E10, but the piece oversimplifies the seasonal rules and treats the “diluting...

The Maverick bed bike rack is the perennial DIY project. Here's my entry: Only one piece of 2x6 pine. Using two M8 x 150mm L-Shaped Right Angle Bolts. These fit exactly into the provided hole in the bed. I'm happy to say the engineers at Ford provided a surface under the hole so the bolt...

Today is Valentine's Day, February 14, and also the first anniversary of my hybrid XLT's blend date. You could say today is its birthday. My wife, who amicably tolerates my truck obsession, got my truck a birthday card for Valentine's Day. She also got me a card for Valentine's Day. She's a keeper.

That is not a trivial question. There's serious anger in this town over the recently imposed parking fees at the zoo and all of Balboa Park. It's a pretty big deal. As a zoo member, I get comp'd in for parking in the zoo lot. It's a perk of membership.

It was a good day to hike the mesas and canyons at the San Diego Zoo. Blue sky, sunny w/ high clouds, today's high: 72°F. As a retired guy with an annual membership, it's a regular workout. January typically sees an ebb in visitors, so zoo maintenance is more active. The plants and animals are...

My daughter has a Nissan Rogue, which uses a CVT transmission. I'd never heard of (or given much thought to) a continuously variable transmission system, but it grabbed my attention when her transmission went down. That was an expensive fix for her. Fast-forward to my researching the Ford...

Software Update 11 (ECG2‑25.2.8.5) is an over‑the‑air update for the “central computer” or gateway module used across several 2025 Ford models, including the Maverick. It appears to be a stability/robustness update, with no obvious new user‑visible features for most owners. What this update is...

I saw your post and it took me back. I posted something very similar almost a year ago after I placed a bespoke order for my 2025 Ford Maverick XLT hybrid. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/burning-question-still-burns-%E2%80%94-maverick-12v-battery.59236/ It's been 10 months now...

I'm in. How about you? … FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ford Introduces Bold New “Electric Flamingo” Paint Option for 2026 Maverick Dearborn, Mich., November 15, 2025 — Ford Motor Company today announced the introduction of a vibrant new factory color option for the 2026 Ford Maverick: “Electric...

Wish I had one there...

I have an extensive quiver of black Sharpies. Use them all over. Write the date of acquisition on any new purchase (exception: Maverick). Makes my wife tear her hair. Allows me to say "this G__d___ thing only lasted 9 months!" or "Whoa, this thing's been going strong for 4 years!" Your basic old...

If you're like me (and you own a Maverick), you like to keep an eye on the fluid levels under the hood. Also like me your eyesight might not be what it once was. So I’ve used a trusty Sharpie to highlight the max/min on the dueling coolant tanks. No glasses required. YMMV.
