2022 Ford Maverick XLT FX4
Engine
2.0L EcoBoost
I bought off the lot in October 2021, was unable to get hybrid yet (Ford was unable to sell until December 2021) & didn’t have time to order (before I knew they were hard to get my car sold quickly) and I found this shadow black XLT (love the interior blue Jean & orange)

Specs

2.0 Ecoboost awd w/FX4, rear slider, cp360, moonroof, optional wheels/tires, all weather mats, spray in bed liner & bed mat (stock pic @ dealership) just under $31k msrp.

Mods

Interior:
added orange knobs (Etsy) and stitch on orange/black fake leather steering wheel cover (Amazon) and my Luigi in the cubby (McDonald’s toy). Console tray I won through the muslogy contest (thanks 😉)

Exterior: Ford/lund vent visors (I actually like the design) & Ford/truxedo soft roll up tonneau cover (I like the utility for use, but hate the noise of cover slap on the highway). I also had the front tow hooks painted (during deer accident bumper cover & grill) and added a red Moose Knuckle off-road shackle receiver in the rear, also the rear hitch cover for non hitch cut to fit. The red/black theme continues with red maverick raised/reflective lettering (Etsy) front/rear emblem overlays (Etsy) as well as ecobeast awd (Etsy) over a fusion ecoboost awd badge and Ford Performance windshield decal (eBay) & my nerd instinct had to add the “talk to me goose” (Etsy) because I’m a maverick geek too. I've pin striped it myself red/silver a few different ways that I've changed my mind (still thinking of new ways or changing to maverick grabber old style side stripes).

Suspension: Lowered on HR super sport spring kit (ride is better than I expected and love the look but wish it was a little lower)

Rims/wheels/tires: (Discount tire/sponsor here helped me special order) Strada Perfetto (gloss black/red candy milled color choice) 20” x 8.5” +40 offset (front pokes out slightly just about same as factory) with 245x50x20 General altimax rt45 all season tires, keeping my OEM wheel/tires for winter months.

*so it’s really just some stickers/lowering spring kit & wheels 😉 not a whole lot, but I get tons of compliments & couldn’t be happier with my little truck.

There are some other pictures on different threads here too. I originally wanted a hybrid & black wasn’t my first choice, but I love the winter security is awesome & really peppy (beat a hemi ram😉) and when it’s clean (usually always). I get so many people even @ work comments on how nice it looks & how clean I keep it, etc…

Amazing! Just curious, why get fx4 and lower it? Not criticizing, I'm getting fx4 and wondering if I can get the tremor front bumper for more clearance. I know very little about lowering and/or lifting. Truly love it though great work

I myself would have paid the $800 option just for the nice larger lariat display screen, but the package comes with larger radiator & fan, different modes including hill descent, trailer hitch, upgrade rear shock, frame mounted tow hooks w/different front valence, under body protection & black unique wheels in my opinon was a cheap bundle package;) I didn't plan on lowering it when I purchased, until I seen them and love the look, I even like the lifted ones and really appreciate everyone customizing them altogether.

Looks fantastic, but keeping that bad boy clean is a total pain in the butt with it being shadow black. I have never worked so hard keeping my Shadow Black clean. The white is so much easier.

I love your truck man! Tasteful mods that are not too much but just right. I too ordered the FX4 simply because of the instrument cluster and wheels. The other stuff is just a bonus. $800 was a small price to pay to me and I don't plan to change the wheels anyway as I love the factory 17's on these. They are the Focus ST wheels and look great on these trucks. BTW, where did you get the sticker on the back glass? That would go great with my license plate...

Looks great! Could you post some more pics of the truck and wheels? Also a pic of how far the wheel sticks out past the fender?

I think the factory is +38mm offset (17x7 rim w/235x65 tire) my new rims are +40m (20x8.5 rim w/245x50 tire). I wanted to keep same diameter for speedometer and as close to the same weight or lighter and I think the wheels are a little heavier than OEM and the tires are a little lighter but it’s tough to show exactly the picture of before/after poke even the fwd has but it’s about the same because I didn’t take pictures of just that before I swapped out, but it’s pretty close to the same. I wish ford would’ve made same track width as I didn’t want to run spacers in the rear & since it’s my daily commuter wasn’t looking for staggered wheels so I can rotate.

Love your truck 😉 (sorry you have noise problems) but I got my sticker off Etsy, but just google and you’ll find a whole bunch of different ones and sizes to fit your likes.

Thanks man, I appreciate that! I hate the noise, but the drop looks soooo good compared to stock. I have ordered new HR springs, Scale adjustable end links and new strut mounts for mine. I plan to try the end links first and see if that alleviates my problem. If it does I will send the springs back.

Great looking truck. Best pinstriping I've seen on a Mav. Gives me some ideas for when my shadow black tremor comes in. Creativity requires inspiration and that's what your truck does for me, so thanks!

Did you sell the stock wheels you had? I'd be interested.
