I think we will need to do an MTC order guide for 23 Mavericks. Don’t forget the hitch!

It's a design flaw that adding a hitch and wiring to a TRUCK is this difficult.

This is like having the bed made of a material that rejects bedliners unless you order one factory

Yea should factory ordered installed $100.00+4PIN connector 🤣
That’s what I was thinking. $100 is a steal for that. No way you’re getting it for that aftermarket. If there’s any chance whatsoever that you’ll use it, it’s a no brainer to get it

I got 4K tow so I have no skin in this

But if the guy did or didn’t click the box and the price is irrelevant. Trucks get sold, situations change. It should not be that difficult to add a harness.

guys that get all smug about it don’t know much about trucks.

Guessing Ford will fix this flaw soon or the aftermarket will come up with a solution and then the puffed up can scurry back to their holes.

Aftermarket will likely beat Ford. They’re more nimble. Give it 6 months.

Yes. There’s so many Mavs around people should have checked them out in person. They’re like flies here. More Mavs than F150’s

not to worry Ford or aftermarket will fix the issue.

You’re my hero. Lol

And very helpful to the OP who just wants to add a hitch and harness to his truck.
