The first 5 things I bought for my Maverick

[FamousAmos]

Why did I think all cars still came with CD players?
What car cover did you get?


Are you happy with the tailgate assist?



Interesting, what utility does the dash cover provide?

I got the carcover.com cover. I have gotten 4 or 5 covers from them. IIRC, they even have different grades of covers. Their elastic band is really strong enough no not need the cable lock, but I got one anyway. When I sold my cars, I included the covers, but kept the cable and lock. Good luck; accessory buying is fun.

TrailFX tailgate liner

I don't see on their website that Ford Maverick is a product they support yet, I can't find the liner. Link?

I thought the Gold 5L looked nice...until I saw a youtube video showing how big it is packed up. I was hoping for something that could fit in the 2nd row cubby. Which version did you get?

You can search that part number and maybe get it cheaper or better shipping. Mine didn’t come with hardware but I just reused the factory ones.

My Maverick did not leave the lot until it got a ceramic coat, so it was the first thing.

Then . . . .
2. RokBlokz mudflaps.
3. Ford fold up hard tonneau cover.
4. Installed engine cover.
5. Installed Tuxmat floormats.
6. Ford Tailgate dampener.
7. Light bars in the bed for more light.
8. Installed a cubbie in the left side of the bed.
9. Replaced all the rear facing white bulbs with LEDs (high mounted bed light and backup bulbs).
10. Installed the controls/wiring for a hitch mounted winch and a Larin TGL-500N lift gate.
11. I got a set of steelies to mount my winter tires on (Michelin CrossClimate2).
12. Installed a KIA rear view mirror to get the Homelink functionality for my garage door openers.
13. Installed a cover for the lower part of the steering wheel that is chrome. It sometimes catches the sun and is very annoying. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165740143949?var=465249689835
14. Installed the hitch fill-in plate. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...r-filling-in-the-area-around-the-hitch.24288/

Forget cubby! The cover, in its bag, is HUGE. IF you don't use the back seat, it can go in one side of the back seat. Otherwise, it has to go into the bed. As for version, I think I got the Silver Shield, but you need to read their specs and see which one you need. No sense in getting too fancy if you don't need to. (When there are four choices like these, I usually avoid the top and bottom, and pick one of the middle grades.) All of their grades are good quality.

 

[Whatcolortochoose]

1. Tailgate lettering
2. Bakflip mx4
3: Rok Blockz
4: center console organizer
5: dash cam
6: cubby insert to mount a phone holder

What did the ceramic coat cost? This is because the paint is thin and a best compromise before a full vinyl wrap?

4. Installed engine cover.
A what now?

6. Ford Tailgate dampener.
This is different than an assist/strut?

7. Light bars in the bed for more light.
Description or link for this product?

9. Replaced all the rear facing white bulbs with LEDs (high mounted bed light and backup bulbs).
Which company, this seems like a no brainer upgrade.

10. Installed the controls/wiring for a hitch mounted winch and a Larin TGL-500N lift gate.
Photo of your final result? I really want a winch.

12. Installed a KIA rear view mirror to get the Homelink functionality for my garage door openers.
As a tech person, I understand mostly WHAT this can do, but not why you need it?

14. Installed the hitch fill-in plate. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...r-filling-in-the-area-around-the-hitch.24288/
Are people making these for purchase? I read the post and am frankly lost in the wall of text without photos.

 

[Aherpa]

About $500 for ceramic coating.

See my posting about the engine cover. (Just click on an member's avatar to see their content.)

Dampener is the same thing as an 'assist'.

See my post for bed light installation.

LasFit for rear facing bulbs.

See my posting about the installation of the hitch mount.

Installed the rear view mirror for the Homelink functionality. Homelink can control garage doors.

I don't understand you not seeing pictures about the hitch fill-in plate, their are five attached to the post. The fill-in plate is a Ford product and the part number is in the 'wall of text'.

This is the same liquid a dealer charges $500 to apply, yes? Is it a spray or droplets?

2. Deer deterrent whistles $10. Not sure if they work but worth a shot.
I am surprised more people don’t get these. But I would like to see a photo of them applied.

3. Autostop eliminator $100
Auto what now?

6. Trifold Tonneau Cover. $255
This is the soft one?

Thanks for the reply, I found the part number, but couldn’t find an image of it, so I didn’t understand what the full write up was detailing.

How is your Bugflector II working out? Any installation or fitment issues. Im planning to try and install mine this weekend. Thanks.

I just installed one. Fit perfectly, straight out of the box. No drilling needed. Plastic pushpins worked fine.

Installation tip, for those installing it without an assistant: I have a piece of spongy foam packing material I use as a kneeling mat. I cut 1"x 1" x 1" cubes from it, and wedged them between the unattached deflector and the top of the hood, above each fastener hole. That pulled the bottom lip tight against the underside of the hood, making inserting the pushpins easy.
