I heard more than a few stories about water on the passenger side, but this is the first time I've heard of a water problem on the drivers side. Here is a good Youtube video covering water on the passenger side:
I really like the look of the Bronco Sport Heritage wheels - and I think they look good with the desert sand color on your Maverick. A subtle white pinstripe or low-profile side graphic could help tie everything together, but I don’t think it is necessary.
If you’re considering tailgate...
If you’re referring to the light in the photo… there is a switch right below the light. It works whether the truck is on or not. If you don’t turn it off, it’s on a timer and will turn off after about 10 minutes.
I had a 2016 Ford C-Max before my Maverick Hybrid and absolutely loved that car. One thing I ran into, though, was that because it relied so much on regen, the rear calipers and rotors didn’t get used a lot. Over time they’d start to rust up and get a little sticky.
Just something to keep in...
Well, the first thing that comes to mind is that I could use it to secure yard waste (branches and such) when I take them to the village recycling center, but the net almost looks too nice for this purpose. Maybe have to slip a tarp in-between the net and the cargo.
My favorite feature on the 2025 Maverick? While I'm still waiting on Ford to provide a build date, I'd say it's the combination of AWD and the hybrid drivetrain.
