Are these functional?

Yes, if the object is to drain people's bank accounts!

Air passing through the grill into the engine bay to outside through the vet I would assume.

Open the hood, examine how the truck is put together, and then explain to me how air passes thru sheetmetal and/or plastic. There is no "inlet" to speak of. Just an "outlet". They do nothing, nada, zilch.

What are the purpose of these vents? Just for appearance or functional purposes?

No purpose except to fill a hole that should not be there.

Got better things to do. I would never get one either, it's ugly.

Air design is the company that makes all the ford maverick's "OEM" body modifications. I made a thread awhile back listing all of them and the part numbers and I will link it below. You can buy the MABETT ones that will leak water into them and have condensation or buy the cheap eBay/amazon ones that will fall apart. These are expensive but are actually good quality.

These fender vents are actually cheaper and more functional than the ford maverick hood scoop. The hood scoop does not vent at all unless you cut a hole in your hood lol @AzureBlueBill

Damn! What did I start?

Safer to ask about cell hone holders, or a new sun shade

O.K., so I'm kind of wrong. If they do something then why didn't Ford make them functional? It would have been easy. They even have a half-assed grille molded into them.

For the advertised price, one could purchae several pairs of the Mabett side lights and have a functional accessory.

Relieve built up air pressure in the wheel wells.

$200+? That's a ridiculous price for a couple of pieces of plastic that don't do anything. Especially when the existing side badges don't look bad.
I wanted side turns so they're viewable when I'm towing. For ten bucks I got blacked out amber side marker lights that are the same color as the turns and mounted those in the existing badges. I had considered the Mabetts until I actually saw them on a Mav. To each his own but to me the Mabett's are too bright, the yellow color doesn't come close to matching the amber turns, they leak, and are ugly.
Simple for me is better.

Wayyyyyy too much money for a couple pieces of plastic that do nothing. It's not a "vent" , they aren't lighted, and we'd be better off with a little emblem that has the model name. IMHO, these are a design flaw on all current Ford trucks. The things should have never been there in the first place.

$209 at Ford plus it sticks on! Way, Way too much for this "22 Lariat owner!!
