• STX decal is the correct font, but they were never monochromatic. They were also never green; usually a red/black combo. In fact, I don't recall a whole lot of green on any late-model Ford products.
• The STX on Ford's other trucks have wheels from a higher trim. Ford also has a thing for the "snowflake" style and thick spokes, so the wheels with the thin, identical spoke design scream "aftermarket" to me.
• The STX on Ford's other trucks have different color bumpers than the XL. Ranger receiving Carbon Black, F-150 is body color, and Super Duty has chrome.
• The STX on the Ranger and F-150 get fog lights.
• Other than the bed liner, the rest of the mods aren't really things that are likely to appear on an OEM trim line.

• Install the OEM "STX" bedside decals from the Ranger
• Install the OEM 17" alloy wheels that come standard on the XLT hybrid and EcoBoost FWD.
• Paint the unpainted part of the front bumper to match the body, except the tow hook blanks
• Paint the unpainted part of the rear bumper to match the body, except the top part where you'd step
• Install DOT LED cube fog lights, but as an homage to the first-gen Super Duty, mount them in the lower grill opening, on either side of the front license plate bracket.

...But at least for me, as a self-proclaimed Ford enthusiast, it doesn't look remotely OEM, which I would suspect would be part of the objective if they are calling it an "STX".

To each their own, but overall, to me it's like putting "LOBO" on your F-150, "Cheyenne" on your Silverado, or "Jazz" on your Honda Fit.

Following Ford's theme with the Ranger, F-150, and Super Duty STX's, my iteration of a Maverick XL STX Appearance Package would be:

• Install the OEM "STX" bedside decals from the Ranger
• Install the OEM 17" alloy wheels that come standard on the XLT hybrid and EcoBoost FWD.
• Paint the unpainted part of the front bumper to match the body, except the tow hook blanks
• Paint the unpainted part of the rear bumper to match the body, except the top part where you'd step
• Install DOT LED cube fog lights, but as an homage to the first-gen Super Duty, mount them in the lower grill opening, on either side of the front license plate bracket.
