I bought a full size XL wheel and tire from the classifieds. It's a tight squeeze but it fits. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/will-a-225-spare-tire-fit.4844/post-153998

Thanks for the review. I'm only at a third of your mileage even though we both purchased around the same time. I'm curious about your axle issue. What fluid was leaking? Also, why was the control arm replaced? Was this caused by impact damage or was it a factory defect?

I wonder how a dealership would warranty that. If they replace it with another factory muffler it will likely rust out again. I know it's a "cheap" truck but damn that's ridiculous.

I agree, it's annoying as hell. Seems to do it more often recently.

Not really. Modern automatics that can be manually shifted are usually faster than a manual and still allow you to engine brake down hills. But without a doubt manuals are way more fun.

Get the Start/stop eliminator. I have it in my Maverick and love it.

After 5 months I still don't like it even though I'm used to it. What the Maverick really needs are paddle shifters or some other way to downshift other than the useless L button on the dial. Trying to reach down and find that button while driving is a joke.

I thought the same until I realized that the mirror arm is adjustable and you can move it up. This is the first vehicle I've owned that you can do this. I no longer have to dip my head on right hand on ramps.

Nope. Installed the auto start/stop eliminator so it's not an issue anymore.

The donut spare limits you to 50mph and the "full size" spare limits you to 70mph according to the manual.

From my 33 years of driving in the SF Bay Area I've realized that most people NEED this kind of tech. Our driving test is a joke and it's easier than ever to get a license to kill from the state of California. While the tech isn't perfect it's getting better even though it wasn't that long ago...

I had no idea I could use voice commands through AA. Thanks for the info. Just need to try it out on the drive home. (y)

If your friends can't remember to buckle up then they're basically your kids. :p

Mine will eventually turn off after I buckle my seatbelt, but you're right that it should turn off immediately after. Especially since I can't switch drive modes while it's on the screen. The amount of bings, bongs and notifications for every stupid thing is infuriating.

Yes, Ford actually has a secondary cable that bolts to the wheel in case the lowering cable breaks. You simply use the cool folding lug wrench to unbolt it. There's a good video in this section that covers it all.

I just fit a true full size 225/65-17 on mine and wanted to add some pics and some tips for anyone wanting to upgrade from the stupid donut spare. Even the optional "full size" spare has limitations if you read the owner's manual. When cranking the spare into place make sure it's not swinging...

Mine just arrived today! Thanks again Canyon Racer! I'm really surprised you haven't sold the rest yet. Your price is amazing since it includes shipping.

Lame comparison to an F150 XLT. That starting $35k gets you a standard cab 2 wheel drive with the base V6. Need to carry more passengers? Upgrade to the supercab and you're at $38K. Need 4WD? Now you're at almost $42k before any other options. My AWD XLT Lux was under $30k. A similar build to...

I ended up finding a full size spare so these are now only available as a full set for $600.

I hope Borla rethinks the idea of making an exhaust for this truck. I've had Borlas before and they usually have a smooth, deep tone that's not overly loud and doesn't drone. Plus they are very high quality.
