Just a quick follow up @801Maverick801 .
At ~41k miles, my torque converter failed and sent some metal through the transmission. One of the clutches was burnt up as well as a few parts with damage from the metal in it. I'm relieved this happened before 60k miles as the powertrain warranty is...
Will try and get more information tomorrow. The tech today said the PTU fluid levels were fine; sounds like just a fluke thing with the metal. Hoping this isn't a common occurrence with more Mavericks once they get closer to 40-50k miles. Hopefully will find out more on what they are actually...
Welp, I either changed it too early or something else was definitely going on because I just got a call from the dealer and the tech notified me that there is metal in the tranny fluid, so I believe they are doing an entire transmission replacement since I'm still under power train warranty at...
I had the TPU fluid changed at the dealer at the recommended 30k miles and I wouldn't recommend it. My truck has been a bit jumpy ever since. Probably would have been better to wait for 50k.
These are the ones I purchased from Discount Tire last winter. As far as load rating, no concerns. They’re pretty easy to drive with and makes winter driving a breeze.

Did the update today. CarPlay launches way faster than before and the backup camera seems to be more stable and less laggy. Also haven’t noticed any audio pops.
Used my iPhone hotspot with “Maximze compatibility” enabled as it wasn’t working initially. Took about 15 minutes to complete once it...
Just called my local dealership and they charge over $200 to do the transmission fluid check/service. That seems kinda insane to me... I'm a noob and probably wouldn't be able to do this myself without royally fu$#ing something up. Looking at ~$300 including the Works package. o_O
If you are open to a hitch bike rack, I'd recommend the 1UP Super Duty. Supports up to a 75pound e-bike; love mine. They now sell a bigger rack called the Xtreme Duty that supports up to 150 pounds.

Man, this thing is slick. When does the discount code expire? Guessing next Monday, August 7th?
Are there any downsides of keeping this Flated topper on even during the winter? How often would I need to inflate each side of the topper? I was leaning towards a Softopper, but I love the design...
I really hope this is a price mistake, but looks like the low profile is MSRP $3,999?! Holy smokes. I'm trying to confirm with a local dealer if this is truly the low profile cap or not. I was hoping this would be closer to the $2k price point...
Hey Ferg,
Anymore updates on how well it's holding up? Still no visible signs of leaking? I think I'm about to pull the trigger on one and then just try and sell my tonneau cover.
I also have some Bronco Sport Outer Bank takeoffs that I mounted to some 18” Blizzak DM-V2’s. I think they look solid. Couldn’t turn them down for $400. Bought some black center caps to finish the look.
Ferg is a legend. Here's the pics.

Dude, thank you you so much for offering to be the guinea pig. I've been waiting patiently for one of these for a while now. This looks pretty solid fit wise.
I just talked to one of their sales reps via chat on their website and she said they aren't currently taking pre-orders. It will be...
Did the lug nuts from your original OEM Maverick wheels fit the Bronco Sport 18’s? I just picked up the Bronco Sport 18’s with the OEM Michelin tires for $450 as a set! Gonna mount some 18inch snow tires on them and then keep my black FX4 wheels/tires as my summer set. đź¤
1UP just released a hitch extender with 6 inch drop!! Now I feel comfortable grabbing one to solve the tailgate issue. They said right on their IG it should work great for the Mav.
