Does this kinda bug anybody else?

[flynomore]

Ok so I use to have a company 2014 f350 Lariat that was given to me in 2015 with 25k miles on it... It was just the 2 owners and I. All 3 of us drove f350 for work. My 2 bosses were good to me and my f350 was also for me to have as a personal vehicle with the company paying all my personal fuel as well. I use to regularly haul a 25' gooseneck trailer.. With a skid loader or the loader and 3 racks of 4' concrete wall forms...
We sometimes had a 4th person work with us and he use to always ride with me... Most of the work we did was for Verizon wireless putting in new cell tower compounds or working on a existing cell site putting in a foundation for a verizon shelter that holds the computers for that site and entenas on the tower.. We would travel for work.. Based out of Southern Wisconsin we would regularly drive to southern IL., Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, and northern wi. And upper peninsula Michigan..We would travel 1 hr all the way to 10-11hrs drives to get to a job site..
So when it came to tying down the trailers the other guy that would help us use to leave the tail of the straps sometime 7' loose to flap in the wind while driving.. And would get irritated when I would go behind him and wrap up all the tails to the straps so they don't flop in the wind.. So if u pass a state trooper on the interstate what do u think they will look at more closely a nicely tied down trailer or a trailer that has 3 tales to the straps flopping in the wind 7'.
My point to all of that is it would possibly get them to take a second look at u while ur driving... And the would be more likely to pull over a vehicle that makes them look twice at it.. That's my point about the light shining on the road behind the truck while driving

WOW

Hang a little cardboard cutout of a maverick from your bumper so it casts a cool shadow on the ground. Boom, suddenly it's a feature

Thats an idea that I might just use!

Looks like that picture was taken when the truck was stopped. Once you get going, the light is shining on the road where you were, not directly under the truck anymore. Nothing to worry about.

Ya the pic was taken when the truck was in my driveway... But the light is going to always shine in the same place at the bumper of the truck.. Whether ur moving forward or stopped.. The light is going to move with u.. Not trail behind u cuz ur moving forward..

If 2 identical cars are both doing 10-15 miles over the speed limit... And one has let's say green ground effects light shining on the road under the car.. Which one do u think a police officer is going to notice more to possibly pull over the one that looks like almost every other random car n the road or the the one that has something that makes it stand out to the others driving down the road

The light that lights up the back license plate shines on the road below the bumper.. I don't know why but it just kinda bugs me.. Knowing the road below the back bumper is being lit up as ur driving... First thing that pops in my mind is that at night it looks out of the ordinary and might make a cop take a second look at u while driving.

Inherently flawed

That kind of flaw could be dangerous, better let me drive it for a year or two to make sure it's safe. And I give the club member discount on it too.

Wow, Lord Have Mercy

But I have a Maverick sir.

Speaking as a former police officer, I can tell you that a functional tag light is better than a non-functional one and the fact that it shines onto the ground shouldn't mean anything. If the light is on you are good, if the light is off they can stop you.....

If a cop pulled me over and told me that my license plate light was illuminating the ground behind my truck too much I would probably piss my pants from laughing too hard!

Aha! So that's where those little pools of light on the road came from - I've been following Mavericks and didn't realize it!

A couple times a week I see guys with trucks on the roads with their fender wells and undercarriage lit up at night with fancy colors. Not something I would do but it’s their truck and it’s their money. Point being, those trucks definitely stand out, and I’ve never seen one of them pulled over.

I don't think you're too far off. Some 15 years ago I was driving to work early in the morning, so it was dark. I got lit up by Hwy patrol for having rear facing white lighting from the license plate lights. The lights had clear domed lenses, so in fact, appeared as white light from behind. The officer gave me a warning and told me there was a shroud missing from the rear of the domes. That was incorrect. That's how the car was from the factory. I'm going to put my headlights on to see if a similar effect exists with my Mav.

I'll bet the OP thinks that birds aren't real, they've all been replaced by look a like drones that spy on us. Bird shit on your Maverick mean you are marked for extra surveillance.

Wow. Me too. I have the same problem with the light in the refrigerator shining on the shelf. It is so much light!

I can't tell if the light is spread out on the road once the truck is moving. The faster it goes, the more it spreads out. Maybe it is? Does yours behave like this?
