I am looking for a little front bumper protection primarily to prevent damage from parking lot mishaps. I came across these items and was wondering if anybody has used them for this purpose.

The license plate surround is rubber and indicates 2.3" at its thickest points.
The mini bull bar is 23" long and has a place to mount lights.

Does anybody know if the sensors for the 2025 XLT Hybrid with the Co Pilot360 safety pkg are in the rectangular enclosure above the bumper (under the Ford emblem) -or- in the rectangular enclosure below the bumper.

The manual does not really indicate that level of detail. From what I have read I get the impression the camera in the enclosure by the rear view mirror handles visual detection and is used in all trim levels. The XLT may only use the sensor enclosure below the bumper and the sensor(s) located there are impact sensors for air bag deployment. As I recall I also read somewhere that the upper enclosure above the bumper is the 360 degree camera that comes with the Lariat and whatever models have the 360 camera capability. That would then exclude the XLT if that were the case.

Why are you running into things in parking lots?
Seems like wherever I park somebody always manages to park next to me. My concern here is people backing into a parking space and not stopping until they hit something. Happened 3 times with my run around car, a Kia Soul. Trying to be a bit more proactive with the Maverick before it gets "Initiated"

And yet, when you come out there will be and F-250 on one side and a HD RAM 3500 on the other side. ;)
I have been extremely lucky. Only happened twice so far. One time a fellow maverick and the second time a porsche 911. im guessing both other drivers have the same mentality.

Apparently 70% of all crash insurance claims are below 30mph in mall parking lots - & with our LED headlight-canbus-module assemblies costing $2000 a piece to replace, I would like some low speed shopping mall protection under $2000

From working offshore I always habitually back into a parking space, small Midwest towns downtown angled parking sized for Model Ts is a friggin bodywork magnet from superduty trucks backing out - ask me how I know!
