Wanted to revive this thread. Did you ever get your Maverick and, if so, did this setup work?
No Mav yet! I got a MY22 vin and got cancelled but i do have a Jan 16th build date.

Hahaha my 8020 order was 375 days ago!

Once I get the truck I'll be doing a bunch of write ups, including this one.

Oh man, that’s rough. Glad you have a build date though! Excited to see these write ups when you finally get your truck

I considered a synthetic deck plank cut to fit the bed notches and roof trays attached to those two planks. It could be lifted out as a complete unit.
I like this idea- although might have to drive with tailgate down

You'll notice, I disassembled the hitch part and flipped it. I bought the smaller one so it would fit in any receiver I own. This gave me the option to to rearrange it so the "Filler" block lives above. It lowers the overall height enough to open tail gate with the leaves out. This helps swapping the shoes while sitting on the tail gate

A HUUUGE thanks for me for this post and picture. 1UP owes you a commission, because your post sealed a sale for them from me.

😳 You sir have more value in racks than I can afford in just the bikes. I hope you added those to your insurance on the "custom/equipment" line item.
it's not too bad, I honnestly haven't thought of insurance. I do have insurance towards the bikes as some are above 3k$ (where my normal home insurance stop covering) Before getting the Maverick, I used to sometime ride with twice the value of my car in bikes on a 200$ rack on the hitch, and those were not expensive bikes by today's standard where people have above 10k$ ebikes.
