Hello from SoCal

[Ironhead54]

So, I was snooping around the Internet, and came across the Maverick Truck Club. Since I just purchased a 2026 Maverick Lariat in Ruby Red, this seemed to be the place to be. I'm pretty impressed with the Maverick, and the mileage is awesome! (2.5 Hybrid AWD) Got a Bed Mat and a Soft tonneau Cover, and some assorted storage pieces, I.E. separator for the Glove box, layered trays for the center console, and that piece to cover the open area around the TRAILER Hitch. (Sold by Mabett Truck Parts) There is just a ton of stuff out there for the Maverick. Which brings me to my first question; does anyone know of a relocation Kit for the Front License Plate? When I picked up the Truck from the Dealer, they handed me the Front License Plate Bracket. I said "what do I do with this?' They said we don't install those anymore. I instantly responded with "then who installed them on all these Trucks in your lot!!??" All I got was dumb looks. Anyway, sorry for the rant.

I'm pretty sure I will find plenty of information here, Glad I found you......

Welcome to the club and enjoy your Maverick.
Mabett - I think makes a kit so you don't to drill the front bumber.

Awesome! I’ll have to check out Mabett, and thank you!

Welcome to the Maverick Truck Club forum from Alaska!

Please post MORE pictures of your new Maverick.

Hi and welcome. When you live in a single plate state they appear to have no problem mounting the front bracket for their advertisement plate (which we remove). So I imagine you get a paper license plate in CA because the law there states the front license plate must be mounted.
Nice color! Have fun personalizing!!!

Hello and welcome to MTC. Congratulations on your new Maverick. Thanks for sharing the pictures, it looks sharp. Sorry can't help with the front plate Michigan doesn't require one. I hope other members in your state or states that require one chime in.

SoCal as well. Here's where the dealer placed it on my '26 Lariat. No sure why yours didn't.

Welcome from Washington (the state, not that other place)! The Lariat is of course the patricians choice in Maverick trim levels.

I recommend this to protect the plastics if you use the console cupholders: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F5WCBP9F

The Dealer actually told me they don't do that anymore. I just rolled my eyes and said "then who mounted all the License Frames on every Truck in your Lot!?" All I got was dumb looks. I think I'll go back and ask them to put that in writing.... And thanks for the welcome!

Thanks for the welcome. We were just in Washington in April. Did a Cruise on American Cruise Lines from Portland, OR to Clarkson, WA. Awesome scenery!

"They said we don't install those anymore."
I think most of us wish they didn't install them ever.
