Owner creates own Maverick STX look

[itevo85]

...But at least for me, as a self-proclaimed Ford enthusiast, it doesn't look remotely OEM, which I would suspect would be part of the objective if they are calling it an "STX".

• STX decal is the correct font, but they were never monochromatic. They were also never green; usually a red/black combo. In fact, I don't recall a whole lot of green on any late-model Ford products.
• The STX on Ford's other trucks have wheels from a higher trim. Ford also has a thing for the "snowflake" style and thick spokes, so the wheels with the thin, identical spoke design scream "aftermarket" to me.
• The STX on Ford's other trucks have different color bumpers than the XL. Ranger receiving Carbon Black, F-150 is body color, and Super Duty has chrome.
• The STX on the Ranger and F-150 get fog lights.
• Other than the bed liner, the rest of the mods aren't really things that are likely to appear on an OEM trim line.

To each their own, but overall, to me it's like putting "LOBO" on your F-150, "Cheyenne" on your Silverado, or "Jazz" on your Honda Fit.

Following Ford's theme with the Ranger, F-150, and Super Duty STX's, my iteration of a Maverick XL STX Appearance Package would be:

• Install the OEM "STX" bedside decals from the Ranger
• Install the OEM 17" alloy wheels that come standard on the XLT hybrid and EcoBoost FWD.
• Paint the unpainted part of the front bumper to match the body, except the tow hook blanks
• Paint the unpainted part of the rear bumper to match the body, except the top part where you'd step
• Install DOT LED cube fog lights, but as an homage to the first-gen Super Duty, mount them in the lower grill opening, on either side of the front license plate bracket.

Thank you for the detailed info! I came from an oem 17 f170 STX and I was just going with upgraded wheels, sport appearance package, and technology upgrade... I didn't think about painted bumpers so thank you. I appreciate the amount of detail you brought to the conversation

I love the stroller holder idea. This would have made early childhood for my kids so much easier on me!

I actually made it for my ladder... But got lucky with it fitting the stroller nicely haha

I think you need a touch of the green on the grill. Just to round it all out a bit.

If I had any decent skill, I totally would

Did you order the graphics from somewhere or was this all DIY? I'm hoping to find someplace that might create something for me in a dark Hunter Green color as a way to bring out some of the green shades on a Cactus Gray Maverick.

I got it from Etsy... But it looks like the person who made it no longer makes them... I tried to find you a dark green no luck

STXL

Most STXs are just an XL with Sports appearance...

What did you do for the side vents? The whole thing or just the chrome? Paint or plastidip?

XL doesn't do Chrome, so they are untouched

I could be wrong but that center bar that goes between the lights looks like a separate peice. Could probably pull and take it to paint or wrap shop. That would be mean.

I've looked into it and I believe I'd have to drop the front bumper... Little too much for me... Atleast in this weather haha
Thanks for the idea!

I'd love to get a white pinstrip down the sides and the White STX on the quarters, just like my 07 ranger STX. White on the ALto Blue would be awesome, I might have to look into this
