2025 XLT Hybrid AWD improvement questions

[FreedomPenguin]

That's pretty pricey but looks to be the closest substitute. I think I was about $55-60 all-in including the mirror and adapter.

if its plug and play, whatever no big deal. I dont want to splice anything. very curious compatibility with 25 lariat.

True, but I think the days of brand new auto dimming Homelink mirrors going for $35 - $50 are over. I tried a lot of the links given in previous posts, some of which still seemed active, but the orders were cancelled after several days.

I have a manual sliding rear window on my 23 xlt,did they do away with that ? Or are you referring to electric sliding rear window?

I didn’t check if it was an option when I ordered it, but it didn’t come with a manual sliding window.

Yikes 163 I paid $33 for mine from Kia and it literally took me a half hour to wire it myself.

Probably got canceled because you never confirmed your VIN which isn't a Kia otherwise you got to have to email them and tell them hem you except responsibility before those ship it.

Manual sliding rear windows are no longer available on any Maverick starting with the 24 model year. Only the Lariat comes with a powered sliding rear window as standard equipment since the 24 model year, optional before that.

Can't you ask your phone (Hey Google, or Siri, or Alexa) to open your garage door?

Leveling kits are just for looks. I can't tell when I'm behind the wheel and don't care if people like the way my truck "looks". The rake is better for mpg, and loading the bed up anyways (and costs $0).

You cannot get any type of sliding rear window on a 25 XLT, it’s not an option. I ordered an XLT but wanted a rear sliding window and also adaptive cruise control (can’t get either on XLT) but was unwilling to pay $4k more because didn’t need or want the other upgrades of the Lariat trim.

Here is a link to a third party rear window that’s intriguing. Planning on checking it out when I get the truck. The sliding window is actually a little larger than the Ford one. They apparently also have a motorized one. I’m waiting on someone to buy and install one to see how they wire it back to a switch and how and where they place the switch.

If Lariat visors don’t have these features, is there an app(s) for opening my garage door.

I've bee having good, though not gushing spectacular, results with Wyze stuff. Here's their remote garage opener:

It puts a camera in your garage, so you can check remotely, and operate it from your phone.

I think you can create a Siri shortcut for it, but haven't confirmed.

I still haven't decided whether to use theirs or make my own with an Arduino. There are several projects to come first, anyway, including the other five wyze flood lamp/cameras (my neighborhood has really deteriorated since I moved in over thirty years ago . . .)
