I installed a rear-view mirror dashcam, and really like it. (My wife doesn't, though!) It looks factory, as it replaces the factory mirror. It records front and rear views, and since the rear camera is mounted on the rack above the tailgate, the rear view is never obstructed by cargo in the bed.I have this same Fitcamx brand on my son's Corolla. That install was even easier since there was a plug that you tap into right at the base of the rear view mirror. If you have rain sensors on your Maverick, it is the same, you won't have to route any wires. It will piggyback on the rain sensor plug.
I don't have have rain sensors so I did have to route to my fuse box. It was still pretty easy.
It has a wider field of view than the stock mirror, so blind spots are completely gone. I can see passing vehicles in my peripheral vision just as they are no longer visible on the mirror. And that's why my wife doesn't like it - with a wider view, it makes vehicles behind you appear farther away than they really are. But it's easy to get used to that. She just doesn't drive the Maverick enough to get used to it.
