Looks great! Another post to confirm I'm spending my ford points on the rear cab spoiler for my 23 Lariat Tremor

So, if you change your mind in the future, you can just peel off the green and have the hot pepper red again?

That's correct. Somewhere in the next 5 years I'll get it peeled and probably reapply a different color. Lifespan on average is 3-5 years but can be longer too. All depends on elements it's exposed to over the lifespan.

That green is really nice. It all comes together well, great job!

Really like that wrap.... cool color. What Does something like that cost....if you don't want to say just ignore.

Wrap, Tint, and Protective Coating was 3K altogether with the materials. About twice as much as protective coating from the dealership but not as much as having it actually painted.

Does the leveling kit actually level it but making it 1in higher or lower?

I definitely notice a different drive and ride height. Although it's hard for me to pinpoint how much of that is level kit vs. larger tires I installed. It does level the front end to match with the back end though. Before putting on the trained eye could note the difference.

It's a happy medium now between feeling more like truck but also keeping of the car driving characteristics which I liked about this model.

Only thing I would do is some wheels spacers to match the fender flairs

I have this on the list of additions for future on my next bonus check lol.

Thanx the reason I ask is bc I have no reason for installing bigger tires or rims but I am interested in the level kit but I just don’t want it to make the truck look funny if I go with it.

Do you have to mess with the speedometer going from 235 to 245 or did ford do that for you?

I read several comments on here before doing it. Some people said it made no noticeable difference, some said it could make up to 5mph difference. From my experience, (what it's worth) I went through a school zone speed reader a few times at 35mph on the speedometer. One time it read 36 and the other it read 35.... So it appears like there isn't a noticeable change for me with the 1" level and 245/65 tires. Hope this helps.

The color is ! Love the overall look of your truck.
If it were mine I would forego the fender flares, cab and tailgate spoilers.
To each their own. Glad you're happy with your truck! Safe, stylin' travels!

that turned out super nice! Where in Ohio can one be on the lookout for your truck?

that is amazing. I hope that wrap holds up. Funny Ford sent me a survey months ago about that I would like/don't like about the Maverick (I have one and one coming SOON) and offering an OD green color was one off the things I mentioned. I have an iphone in that color (by accident/broke the last) and I like it plus the competition offers a similar one.

i like that. Ford should of added green to the maverick already.
