Cool features our Mavs should have

[Timothyd]

Split rear seat, an extra 12" inches in cab, fog lights, and memory for the seats

Give me that extra 12" in the bed.

As long as you're not driving around with the silly Fog lights on when it isn't foggy.

Not that it should make a bit of difference to you, but I only use them in fog and inclement weather. Thanks so much for the guidance on the "silly fog lights".

I also use them with the BCM's cornering lamp functionality, which works great.

Since most of us have been driving for decades we've all owned or rented our fair share of different vehicles. I was just wondering what features your older cars had that never became common place but wish you had on your Mav. My 2 examples are from the 90s. My Passat had a lock button on the key fob that would, if you held it down, roll up the windows and close the sunroof. Second is from a Mazda 626 that had a "sweep" button on the hvac controls. It would move all the vents side to side like floor fan. Just curious what you all remember.

Your keyfob thing can be done in forscan if your truck has the 1 touch windows in it.

In no particular order
Auto dimming rear View mirror
Front and side camera (not an option on 24’s)
Rear window defrost
Fog lights
Rear step bumper
Tailgate storage (cool feature in my brothers Colorado)
‘Upgraded sound system

Most of these you can add yourself. Remember the Maverick was to cut cost, and be a blank slate you can customize yourself.

Printed Owners Manual in the glovebox. I had to pay $50 for mine. That is coffee table book money. Where mine sits btw

Or you could have printed it out yourself from the PDF online?

It is 600 pages - double sided. And I don’t have a printer

Well then $50 was the better deal in your case! LOL
I think I need to pony up and buy one too, just haven't done it yet.

I guess I better get into this forscan thing. Sounds handy. They should have named it differently. Too close to foreskin.

I here a lot of people talking about a paper owner's manual. My 22 came with one. Wonder when they decided to save a few more bucks and piss everyone off?

10”-24” is the useful mounting height. Pretty good position on the Maverick. Amber works great. I’ve had five cars with fogs. Although I very rarely used them, the ones mounted closest to the pavement worked very well.

It is a Russian/Ukrainian aftermarket company I believe?

Should be named ladascan?
