After purchasing my truck I coated it with Nexgen Ceramic. After the first rain I seen where water sheeted off the part of the windshield that had got some coating on it. So I coated all the glass. Best water repellent I've ever seen and lasts about 6 months. I coat the entire truck, paint...
Because the Maverick has no competition Ford will put the bare minimum in its trims. I bought a Lariat because that's the only way to get adaptive cruise control and Lane centering. Mine is a 24 so additional benefits were sync 3, better stereo, acoustic windshield, sound insulation between the...
They look pretty convenient but I'll stick with the slimy caterpillars. Reason being they seal the puncture on the inside and outside. I don't want the moisture that's inside the tire getting into the puncture and rusting the belts.
That image is a journalists Photoshop rendition. I think the Toyota truck will look as much like a RAV4 as the Maverick looks like the bronco sport/Escape it's based on. Toyota has a good track record other than a few missteps, the RAV4 is the third most selling vehicle I believe behind the...
The RAV4 uses a nearly identical drivetrain as the hybrid Maverick. 2.5 l, naturally aspirated, Port injected Atkins motor and a nearly identical ecvt. The big difference is the RAV4 doesn't have a PTU, drive shaft and RDU. The rear axle is driven by a gearbox and electric motor. My daughter's...
I have a '24 Lariat FX4 4K tow, my daughter has a '25 RAV4 XSE. Less than 1k price difference, the RAV4 is so much nicer when it comes to fit, finish, quality of materials and standard options. Everything in her RAV4 is soft touch pleather with blue contrast stitching, dash, seats, tops half of...
Update... Been good for the last 10 months. This morning powertrain malfunction, limp mode, wastegate stuck closed. This is so frustrating! Third wastegate actuator failure since I bought the truck brand new in February '25. They need to call in an engineer on this one.
The only Mavericks that have any kind of solid mounting position on the front is the FX4 and the tremor where the tow hooks mount to the cradle. All other trims are missing that mounting position. Most of the brush guards you see online are cosmetic only and offer no real protection from a deer.
This is my second setup. The first one was an aero turbine, sideways with about 6 in of pipe between the muffler and the tip. I just couldn't live with the drone. Added the midbody resonator, it helped but it was still piss off your neighbors loud. Second Time around is a MagnaFlow style Street...
I'm amazed that ppl are willing to spend that kind of money on box kits. The exhaust on the Maverick isn't that complicated. I'm on my second exhaust and have spent less than the borla kit. I went side exit. Any competent exhaust shop should be able to fabricate this in an hour or two plus...
Things like adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, emergency braking, Lane centering, collision sensors.. these are all safety features that should be standard on every trim level or at the very least available options. They should not be locked behind at $7,000 Lariat trim upgrade! Take...
Try cleaning your windshield, if you have to, buff out any minerals with some 0000 steel wool. Clean and dry again. Once it is perfectly clean and dry, ceramic coat it. I used nexgen to do my entire truck, paint, plastic, trim and glass. I still get bugs on my windshield but they clean off...
I have the factory Ford mud flaps. The Muppet flares work with them just fine. A couple tips for installation. Trim away any tape that rides up too close to the edge of the flare. Reuse your OEM push pins as they are longer than the ones provided by mabett. Make sure you put them back in the...
