I had our Ford accessory rep look into getting that part number and he said that it not listed in their system and don't know if/when Ford North America will start stocking it.

The CP360 sensors are radar so hundreds of dollars plus the wiring. Not to mention in short supply.

Let's hope for the aftermarket parts

That's not Ford parts, they are Keko parts and right now only sold to dealerships in Brazil.

And after I posted some photos of my Maverick on Instagram, a few people come ask me about the accessories. So even here it's not available everywhere right now.

This truck is still in its infancy as far as accessories go. Especially with 3rd party companies. We will eventually have a vast array of parts for our trucks, but for now it’s just too early in the game. This sport bar will not be the only one that comes out for the Maverick. We will have many options for accessories in the years to come.

Because it's a legal requirement there. Presumably the pennypinchers ran the numbers and it's cheaper to produce both versions and give NA the light-less version.

Wonder what the part number is for the Brazilian side view mirror shells? Ill take care of the wiring.

Update in the build.

Had to take off the front spacers (1,5 inches) last week. The Yokohama 245/70 was doing fine, but the spacers made it rub. Wasn't expecting that and since I don't want to change much of the pickup right now (warranty issues), that was the easiest way out.

BEFORE, with the spacers

AFTER, without the spacers

Ask my contact in the dealership but they didn't send me the answer. Gonna ask again monday.

(I think they're getting tired of me, lol)

There are available, online, turn signals that replace the black side “vents” (where it says XL, XLT, or LARIAT). They light up white, changing to flashing amber when signaling.
All great reviews, except for one that says it screws with a computer. That stops me.
I was looking for a hitch light that worked like the third brake light. But a number of reviews said that a plug into the tow connector tells the computer that you’re towing, and kills the side back-up radar.

I have seen those lights been tapped right to the wires. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Hey Dark,
Awesome build!

I'm in Peru and about to get my Mav Lariat FX4 in Withe.

I already ordered the bushwalker fender flares and wanted to get spacers as well.

Not sure yet what the max tire size will be with the 2" lift kit installed and keeping the original Lariat wheels (same as yours).

Would you go for 1.5" in the front and 2" spacers at the rear wheels?

Did you notice any difference in handling when driving with bother spacers and then with only spacers at the rear wheels?

Thanks for the advice.


This is what I found online for the stock wheels, can you confirm?

Bolt pattern: 5x108
Center Bore: 63.4
Thread size (Lug Nut Size): M14 x 1.5
