My preference is that they design and build a vehicle that has both the mechanical and computer parts that work BEFORE they foist on customers. Most of my recalls are for software that they don't have fixes for.
56k miles on my "22 and have the 4th 12v battery. Last one was an AGM that I had to pay for out of pocket. No wonder you never see the advertisement saying, "Quality is Job 1" any more. I've lost track of my recall notices. Got another one yesterday. Won't buy Blue Oval again.
This looks great and you have skills that I don't. I installed a TMat system in the bed of my Mav and it works great for me and gives a little more flexibility to arranging stuff in the bed.
I'd settle for a consistent layout within a model year! My 22 MachE has it's buttons layed out completely different from the 22 Mav XLT. Do the engineers just play a game with each other to see what they can do to confuse and irritate a customer?
Sorry. Should have done it. I had a hard time finding ones that were 2" wide and fit the existing indentation. These were perfect. Just had to do a template and cut off the angle and grind it smooth.

I like this much better than the original, but the cost stymied me from doing this. That, and the loss of the XLT designation on it. I decided to go low tech and just modified existing amber markers I got from AMZ. No muss, no fuss. Just some 3M tape and few minutes to cut and trim the plastic.
Thanks. I think it breaks up the rather bland side profile with a standout color, too. Had to use extra tape as I discovered that the insert was actually slightly curved.
I wanted to do something with side markers but I was reluctant to do the wiring and also lose the XLT badge. Instead, I mounted amber reflectors that I cut to fit the space. Mounted them with 3M tape so I can remove them to later install lights if I want to do so. Got the reflectors from Amazon...
