I just got a 2023 xl and don’t really like that there is no insulation on the metal behind the back seat. Has anyone put anything on there? I was thinking of doing some hard panel type stuff.

While I don’t see any value to it for a Maverick, I would get soft self-adhering foil insulation that goes under auto carpet and install a few pieces....

There are many available, here’s an example

There is a thread on this site where a fellow extensively insulated his Maverick for sound control, including the bulkhead. He measured and achieved quite a reduction in noise. That's the main value - noise reduction.

I have owned mine for 8 months now and the road noise is not an issue for me, I do have two moving blankets behind the rear seat. So that may be helping but I will not be doing anything further.

I just stuffed a moving blanket behind the rear seats, mainly so I can have one available for the bed when I need it, but also as a secondary sound dampener, though I'm not sure it has much effect.

Road noise is terrible if you drive with the back seat up. I am in the process of doing mine. I'm using Kilmat.

What about the flap behind the seat? I am assuming this is to let air out when closing the door. Anyhow I would assume a source of noise. Insulation may not help if this flap remains functional

I live in Michigan where the roads are really bad so road noise is normal. I might have to add something. I expect the front end to go out at about 45k miles because of the beating it gets.
