New owner looking for advice

[Old_Norm]

Thanks for the advice. So, I received and installed these parts today.
Gator SRX Roll-Up Tonneau Cover
Muslogy for Maverick Mud Flaps
Tailgate Insert Letters
VIOFO A129 Duo Dual Lens Dash Cam
Dee Zee DZ43207 Tailgate Assist

The bed liner from Ford should be in soon. For those questioning the need for a tailgate assist, I bought it for the slow opening not because the tailgate is heavy.

i see no point in hood struts. how often will you be opening the hood on this engine?
as for mudflaps, i suggest the Mabett ones on amazon.

If car guys only bought what they needed the aftermarket industry would cease to exist.

Buy anything and everything!!! Nothing is a waste when it is for a Maverick! LoL

If you think you want the fender flares, don't buy the Muslogy or Ford mud flaps, most of the flares don't fit with them. - The Mabett flares DO work with just about all of the fender flare kits.

If the Ford style (Muslogy) are what you're looking at, and you're local, I have a set available cheap. - Originally installed them, but swapped when I bought fender flares, as they wouldn't play nice together.

I just recently put in EGR in channel wind deflectors and while I like the look (I got the matte to match the black trim of the mav) I wasn’t expecting part of the passengers side mirror to be blocked. While it doesn’t impair my visibility in the traffic lane next to me, I’m cognizant of this missing visibility so I’m not sure if I would make this purchase again if I knew this was how I would feel. Just something to consider.

My only real reasoning would be so the hood prop isn't in my way if I am in the engine bay.

I like the idea of the hood struts however the ones that have added them on here seem to have issues with them not opening right and needing to put a spring under the hood. Anyone know of some that are working great?

Picked up my 23 Mav Lariat Hybrid yesterday. And of course I immediately started to look at accessories I could waste spend money wisely on. My first purchase will be a bed liner. Will get that from Ford using points. I'm looking at the tailgate soft open strut, hood struts, tonneau cover, mud flaps, fender flares, window wind deflectors and hood wind deflector. Anything else you would suggest? Any particular manufactures to use/avoid? Thanks for any suggestions and or advice.

I personally wouldn’t put the tailgate damper on there because you will have to remove a tie down on the tailgate which I would use for plywood but if that’s not an issue for you then go for it

We have had our 2023 Maverick Hybrid Lariat for 2 weeks. We got the SIBL done at the dealer and used points towards the cost. We bought the tailgate assist, the bed extender and the bed mat all from Rough Country. Very pleased with the quality and their customer service if you have questions.

i purchased some all-weather floor mats & a mabbet cup holder/mini trash can that mounts on the back of the center console

I got the window deflectors. Bit disappointed they were tape on rather than inserted. My other issue is the ones for the rear doors aren't full sized. The instructions say to align it flush with the front of the door. This leaves a gap at the ends and the shape matches that of the door. If I align with the rear of the door there would be a gap at the front which would look worse. Bought with Ford points.

Also got handle cup shield since finger scratches look awful.

Love the vehicle!

you can add a D-ring style in its place.

Oh well if that’s the case than I might get one
