Fellow Mav owners, I recently called customer service re: the unequal tailgate cables on almost all Mavericks.
I was told that the more reports there are, the more likely a fix will be addressed.
So....Ford Customer Service;

Let's get this annoying (at least to me) issue fixed!

Ford Maverick Tell Ford about unequal  tailgate cables 20260620_093705

Issue: Driverside taut.........passenger's 🤏 less taut.
Sit down on the tailgate or put weight on it, they both become tight = non-issue.

I think every truck I have owned this has been the case and I have never had a problem. 🤷‍♂️

Was about to say the same. I had trucks that had those two pieces of flat stock on each side rather than cables, and same deal. One would be slightly loose unless you sat on the tailgate or otherwise put weight on it.
