The headlight deal doesn't bother me.. it saves brain cells from having to remember to turn the lights on when i can be using those cells for something more important.
The A/C is yes annoying since i can get in the pickup and start up at 41 degrees outside/ no fog/ no humidity/ clear glass/ no...
The start stop in our Subaru is very annoying since it has to crank and it shakes on restart, and shakes when it shuts off again.
My Mav Hybrid rolls away on battery electric power and silently, only starting ice if i’m racing a Prius ! LoL
So its very nice to have A S S , gas ,or grass, nothing...
It’s not a bug shield since it doesn’t deflect the air to push the bugs away and over the windshield. It’s a skin to protect from rock chips.

I have lost one mpg with new Costco aluminum rims and tires, Bridgestone ALENZA AS ULTRA 225/65R17
but the trade off in the softer feel yet a heavier ride over lightweight stock XL tires is more than well worth it, because the difference reminds me that it’s a small pickup truck, not an...
I couldn’t find a 2025 front emblem cover either, and i just wanted to tone down the bright gleaming white oval badge! (i have no idea why Ford thought a bigger brighter whiter emblem wasn’t annoying) so i painted the white oval black and lightly smoked the FORD lettering…. and also smoked the...
It would be nice and thoughtful of FORD if they had an option to just start the ice motor when in reverse instead of the beeper…. sorry i’m old and grumpy but i detest that darn beeping beeper beep beepin beepity beep beep
How did you drop the Hybrid exhaust without pulling off the heat exchanger wiring or lines?
I laid under mine for a couple hours trying to figure out a way to not damage anything. It seems so fragile just looking at it and a slight tug would break something
When i set the bar in there was less movement of the line going over it.
I have a hybrid so i assumed that was because the added mounting blocks that Steeda provides lifted it up about a half inch.
Here is an old pic from someone else’s hybrid installation.
It’s late and dinner/beer time so haven’t even driven mine yet. The instructions didn’t mention the line rubbing the pipe but the line will move as the engine vibrates so i wanted the rubber to take away the friction that might wear through the plastic line.
The reason i went with the Steeda is...
Steeda Maverick Strut Tower Brace - Black (2025)
I just finished installing this with minimal instruction, so basically what is needed is a 6 mm hex socket, torque wrench (23 ft/lb) , 5 zip ties (came with 2), 1 inch rubber hose about 2 inches long. I split the hose lengthwise to wrap the bar.
Ha! nbd
Maybe Ford intended us to be doing this… and oncoming drivers to do a wtf double take :) Odd things grab attention right? Maybe the tabs are just blank slates to make our own designs on… like graffiti on a passing train… some are cool some suck some are wth and some are blank
