Good day, Maverick Truck Club! I wanted to introduce myself and start a forum on my personal Maverick (called "Trucklet").

Background: I never thought the day would come where I owned a Ford product, as I am a Toyota Truck guy traditionally (see one of my builds at this link:
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/jacobrippeys-1995-v6-swapped-tacoma-single-cab-build.464821/
That being said, a compelling product is a compelling product. When I saw the Maverick debut in 2021, I was obsessed. The obsession never died down either. After 4 failed attempts at buying a Maverick used, I stumbled upon one for sale in Arkansas. Flew out and drove it back to sunny Phoenix, Arizona.

About the Trucklet:
2022 XLT
Area 51
FX4
4K Tow
CP360
Lux package
Sunroof

Modifications:
Fifteen 52 Traverse MX Wheels
Small Lift Kit? (PO gave no info on this)
Falken Wildpeak A/T 245/70-17
Soft Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover
AZ Vanity Plate TRKL3T

Future Plans:
Integrated Fog Lights with F150 Switch
All Bolt ons (once powertrain warranty ends)
Go Fast Camper?

Anywho, I really am enjoying this little Trucklet thus far, and am excited for many more years of ownership. I will use this as a space to keep track of all modifications and happenings that one might find interesting. Thanks for stopping by!

I love the color of course I bought it too

Update: Truck is back after a week at the dealership. Did all 6(!) recalls and had 2 new CV axles installed under warranty.

Did you leave the lift on? Cuz that's probably not helping lol.

Another question for you: are your window deflectors matte or smoke and do you have a pic you can share for me? I need a new set and they are #1 on my list.

They’re smoked. I’ll try to get a better pic today.

Pretty stoked about getting these installed (when the weather cools a bit). Diode Dynamics SS3 SAE fog lights that will be installed on JJC brackets with the OEM F150 fog light switch. I have everything sans the F150 switch. Lights out of the box look great and feel quality.

A table and 6 chairs fit, no problem! Seller was shocked at how useful the Trucklet is!

Found the Trucklet’s twin yesterday (see plates). Other one belong’s to my buddy’s wife. No, this wasn’t planned. Small world.

who got their truck first, and who got their personalized plate first?

I have a feeling someone was planning it, lol.

She technically got her Maverick before I did, but I never saw the plate. I went to register my truck, and noticed that TRKLET had already been taken, so I went with the 3 in place of the E. Posted pics of the new truck on FB and my buddy reached out telling me that I wouldn't believe the irony.

Doing truck(let) things as of late.

Moved my friend’s kid’a play place during their move:

Hauled most of a bed of pavers:

This truck continues to impress with its usefulness and capabilities.
