54Phil,
Did you get any kind of roadside assist package. Like a small bag with a jump starter and flashlight. Maybe a tow rope?

OK. I was going to reply about how this is a backup launching mechanism for the Jellyfish Launcher.

But

Decided to Google it and actually found a page on Ford.com with a strap that looks very similar.

Could this be the release strap that goes on the back of the rear seat?

Uuuh… you think it would’ve been on the back of the rear seat…. no??

Contrary to popular legend, a Maverick can be a wild steer or it can be a wild/unbroken Horse. If you consider the horse, one way of making sure they don’t run off is to put Hobbles on their front feet.
I say that the strap is obviously a set of Hobbles.

Yeah I would think so too! Not discounting the possibility though that maybe it didn't get attached properly to the seat and came off, or maybe an extra one got dropped/left behind in OP's vehicle from the factory.

Edit: Reread OP's post and he said it was in a bag. So yeah sounds like it didn't come unattached from the seat.

Extra one of these straps that got left?

1. Turn the wing bolt on the jack bracket counterclockwise to release the jack and tool bag from the jack bracket.

Or as I thought about it - I think I did recall seeing a strap.
And due to that long bolt above - I'm not going to go check.
But...


Stowing the Road Wheel

1. Place the flat tire in the center of the vehicle bed with the wheel facing up.

1. Locate the retainer strap mounted on the jack.

1. Locate the cargo tie-down hooks in the corner of the bed.

1. Push the loop of the retainer strap through the tie-down. Thread the non-loop end through the loop.

1. Weave the retainer strap through the wheel openings.

1. Locate the tie-down at the opposite corner of the bed. Thread the retainer strap through the tie-down and pull tight.

1. Secure by tying a 2-half hitch knot.

This strap came in a bag along with my new 2025 Maverick. There was no explanation as to what it used for. Can anyone help me out and tell me what this is for?
Thanks

Looks like this....

Awesome concert, 1982 or 3 perhaps right after the New Traditionalists album was released. Thank you for stimulating my memory. Mentioning stimulating...

It’s a sex toy.

Please explain its usage.

This picture answers the question. It is a sex prevention device.

You may be on to something. My dirtbike tiedowns came with something similar to that so you don’t scratch the handlebars… even if one side has a coated hook

You got my vote
