Things I HATE About the Ford Maverick
Переглядів 9 тис.Рік тому
These are the things I've come to hate about my truck. Now in the end I do still overwhelmingly love my truck and recommend it to most people.
Builtright Industries Bedside Molle Panel Installation!
Переглядів 1,8 тис.Рік тому
Space is at a premium when it comes to the Ford Maverick, so this panel is perfect for reaching your full storage potential! I'd definitely recommend having a tonneau cover with this panel so nobody can take your gear/tools.

Diamondback bedcover installation on my Ford Maverick!
Переглядів 6 тис.2 роки тому
Worth. Every. Penny. I can't say enough about how useful this bedcover is. Lockable, secure, weather resistant, easy to remove for taller loads, 1600lbs load capability, and it's the best looking on the market! As you all know space in the Maverick is a premium so by adding this I almost double my storage space with little sacrifice. Also those rare larger loads (refrigerator, stove, ext) it ca...

Catch Can Update and Mavericks First Oil Change

Oil changes are pretty self explanatory lol. Now I did think the oil catch can would have had more fluid in it but I'm unsure if the brand new engine is the reason or that is an average amount.

Ford Maverick K&N Cold Air Intake!
Переглядів 16 тис.2 роки тому
This has to be my favorite upgrade so far! The intake/turbo noises sound so good👌. Its not just the sound either, according to K&N the intake adds 7hp and 10lbft of torque! I am super happy with everything about it and would recommend it to anyone who likes the intake noise and has $350 to spend. Thank you all for watching and for all your encouraging comments.

    For the Hybrid you need to take off a plug that's connected by plastic clip. I did not realize it might interfere with the hood locking till after so I took the risk and unplugged it, plugged in back in below the bar. Other than than a super simple install. Have yet to test it out though. Your install video helped me a lot to actually make my purchase. Thanks!

  • @Justin-hz8bh
    @Justin-hz8bh 2 місяці тому

    I appreciate that you're here simplifying the instructions for people, but there's a few things people need to know. I just broke off the IAT or air intake temperature sensor because every plastic piece on this thing is SOOO brittle. So, that snapped. New part from Ford. Also the intake piece that goes above the radiator and the piece that connects to the elbow we have to remove? Yeah it snapped in half too. Then I'm reading the instructions K&N print and you have to CUT cables and connections that run to the top of the engine. I think I'm going to abort and send it back. Its just not worth destroying the truck. And with these parts being so brittle, I'm not sure how long the truck will last even with the stock intake. PS- My Maverick is a 2024, 11 months old.

    I didn’t get a tumbler with mine, but it is not a big loss. I bought the Yeti tumbler and found that it won’t keep coffee warm for even one hour. The heat escapes through the cap. I like the radio controls on my Maverick and like you said, the fuel economy is great. I have been getting around 29 mpg with all wheel drive

    I appreciated this video. The hood is concerning. Some of the other items don't bother me because I'm going with a lower model, but the flexible hood bothers me. That and the paint. Not sure if the paint is chipping because of where you're at, but cheap paint bothers me as well.

      It doesn't look like they sell them anymore. I've used another company, Headlight Revolution, and they seem to be good quality at a better price. Just an fyi, if your Maverick is new or you have gotten the blinker recall fixed, you will experience hyperflashing no matter what LED you use. This can be turned off with Forscan (that's what I did) if you still want LED lights.

    • @deserttrek
      @deserttrek 9 місяців тому

      It is holding up great, and I haven't had any problems at all. It is also really easy to remove when needed. It does leak a little bit where the plastic bed rail meets the plastic trim that connects to it near the cab if that makes any sense 😅. I'm thinking of adding some foam tap at the location to fill the gap, but I haven't gotten around to it. Dimondback did just come out with a trifold bedcover that should better fit your needs if you still wanted a Dimondback. It is called the switchback.
