I also live in the desert and I use my sunshield in all weather. Plus it really helps w/ privacy, your tinted windows and sunshield make it even harder to peer in!
The length of the antenna is the same, it's just packaged into a much tighter coil. The real issue is the height. You're losing about 3 inches of height, which shortens your range. But if the same antenna were mounted roughly 3 inches higher both antennas would perform pretty much the same.
You may need to install noise dampeners on the doors, rear panel and under the hood. While your add it; the engine cover, ( saw that on an other channel) and if you take a look between the ‘A’ post and the inner part of the fender ( with door opened) on the drivers side you can see into the engine bay, passengers side also. Ford offers a plastic accessory to install within this opening. Then install a ‘ Catch Can ‘ on the engine. Then upgrade your sound system. Nice Upgrades, my MAV is also a Cactus Gray with more or less the same upgrades. Thx for the vid.
Thread the dampener plate "M-Lok" nut onto the bolt before hand far enough so it barely turns to the lock position once inserted. Used a narrow prybar or screwdriver to hold tension as you tighten it.
Nicely done video - crisply edited with very little unnecessary footage or talking. I hope you grow your channel. I definitely want to do the tailgate letters, but unfortunately, the dampener is a non-starter with the loss of the tie-down bracket. I haul 4x8 sheets and being able to put the ratchet straps on those brackets is vital.
I have my 2023 Maverick on order (ran down to the dealer first thing Sept. 15th and got it ordered before they closed the desk again😁) This has shown me some great ideas of what can be done for upgrades...definitely will do the auto start/ stop ... as far as the tailgate assist, when dealing with installing blind nuts like that I use a couple small pieces of double stick tape to hold it, makes it quick and easy... Can't wait 'til mine gets here. Thanks for the tips
Almost passed by on this video because it was made over a year ago. My XLT Hybrid is scheduled to go into production the week of April 8th and this video showed me some improvements on some of the accessories I'm currently looking at. Thanks for the excellent video!
Thank you. I was thinking about doing that but wasn't 100% sold on them since I don't open my hood that much, but I will probably end up getting them anyway.
@HANKGAGNON I just personally don't like it when my truck turns the engine off when I stop at a stop sign for 2 seconds or if I'm at a yield or something like that. And I'm probably wrong but I also imagine that it barely saves me any gas by turning the engine off at a stop
Im also glad i saw this in the video. My wife was starting to feel unsafe in my car because it would shutoff after awhile when we were parked for long periods (for PG reasons). Basivally we have kids and after long days when we pull into the driveway they would be asleep and we would wait awhile before we decide to go into the house with them (sometimes we would fall asleep ourselves). Now imagine doing that in the summer and then we all wake up sweating. I told her not tobuse my car then...lol. Anyway, now i can tell her that there is a button for that😊. We will see if the button thing becomes annoying before deciding on whether or not to but the disabler ($99 problems).
2 things, I wonder what the start stop eliminator does to the factory warranty? I am pretty sure you installed the piston for the tailgate dampener upside down so now moisture can get in.
Good work on the add one! I’ve been waiting 13 1/2 months for my Maverick, and I am supposedly taking delivery in 2 weeks!? I’m hoping someone makes a sturdier tailgate assist, or an aluminum version of that console organizer!
I thought about getting the safe but I feel I don't have anything too important to lock up that isn't already on me. I'm glad it works for your situation though👍
@Desert Trek its one of those things that just provides an extra layer of security that may be overkill, sure...but for the cost its mighty luxurious haha. Im glad i decided on it.
Good video content; short and sweet. I like the look of the tailgate lettering. However, the adhesive sill protectors will deal with shoe/boot scuffs, so I'll maybe put the front pair 3"-4" more forward, where feet will clear the sill. I'm still waiting for my '23 2.5L Hybrid XLT (Hot Pepper Red) with Luxury Pkg. & Co-Pilot360, ordered last Sept.
Honestly I wouldn't want the tailgate damper even if it came with it, I honestly don't get why people make a big deal about that. I'd rather it just open and close quickly and freely...
Don't you have a cup holder in the arm rest in the rear seat on the lariat. Also I put my sun shade along side either driver or passenger between the seat and the center console works for me. I do dig the center console addition, gate damper, wish softopper made a canopy, or wish they had a powered bed slide.
I do have cupholders there. I think I'm going to keep a trash can there instead of the cup holder. I'll have to try putting my sunshade there then see if it is comfortable for my wife, thanks!
I would assume any light color cover, but I'm honestly unsure. There might be a youtube video comparison between bed covers exterior and interior temperatures. Sorry I couldn't help more.
Ya thats just a badge door seal... they are protecting very little, though they do look cool. If I had the ecoboost I'd add that eliminator immediately too..
I wasn't planning on doing it just for the reason of visibility at night. My wife and I go on lots of road trips and sometimes that leads to long night drives in the middle of nowhere. I'd like to give myself the best chance of not hitting a coyote, deer, or elk that jumps into the road.
Just got my '24 yesterday. A mod that's high on the priority list for me would be some sound dampening for the engine. Does the Bronco Sport hood insulation fit? Maybe the engine cover would help as well but I don't know which version to buy. I think these 2.0L ecoboosts (mine) have been installed in many different models.
Tinting front seat windows impairs drivers vision and isnot legal in many areas which is why no auto manufacturer offers them as an option of standard equipment for vehicles sold in the US. There's an umbrella style windshield sunblock cover that collapses into a compact size that's easy to stow and deploy.
Nicely done; short and sweet. Thanks for the info. I had to laugh at myself because for 5 or 6 seconds I wondered about how the Auto Start/Stop Eliminator would work on my '23 hybrid (LOL). On the Tailgate Lock, I wonder why they don't just sell a replacement for the T30 bolt with a hardened round head that takes a special socket key like the lock itself. A cordless grinder like criminals use to steal cats would defeat either lock in a minute or so. Thanks for all the links. Consider bed mat/rug, floor trays and possibly seat covers? Can't wait to follow your lead when my '23 comes in next year.
Nice video, I test drove a Lariat trim hybrid Maverick today. My son and I liked it, but it was used and they were asking new price for the truck, because they knew they could at the Ford Dealership near me.
I'd like to drive a hybrid. They are really cool but they don't come in AWD so I had to get the ecoboost. Best of luck finding a Maverick at a decent price.
@@deserttrek I think I am going to wait until the online ordering is back for them. Dealerships are cheating the public. I think I want the AWD base model with a spray in bedliner and Area51 paint 🤔 and the 4k towing package
great video with nice mods. Especially the tailgate damper. The door sill protectors on the other hand look tiny and cheesy too me. And why would you want to disable the start-stop function? I'm always wondering about that?
Thank you! The door sill protectors I don't think are worth it if I'm being honest, especially at the price point. Now the auto start-stop eliminator is more personal preference. I don't like how the vehicle jerks a little bit at lights when I accelerate. So if that doesn't bother you I'd stick with auto start-stop since it saves gas.👍
The start-stop function also does inflict more wear on the spark plugs, which ford is already notorious for not having very good quality ones. I work at a dealership and we are constantly getting in 2018 and newer cars with spark plugs already giving out sadly. although i am not going to pay $100 to not press a button lol
Did you buy your maverick from on of the local dealers in abq? I was thinking about getting one, but wasn't sure if they would charge more for it than msrp.
I assume putting in the start stop does not void any warranty since it can be removed at any point? I am beyond excited to get my 2023 Mav, so seeing this video and potential upgrades makes me that much more pumped! Thank you!
Hi, I´m from Argentina, and I ordered a brand new ford maverick XLT, im checking your channel and I was wondering what’s the purpose of “tail gate lock”. Is this device an antitheft thing?. Thanks for sharing, have a great day.
I agree. You can find cheaper versions of all the accessories now (thankfully) on Amazon and Etsy. I'll be making a video going over what is worth it in a couple of weeks so stay tuned
From the Amazon reviews it looks like it will effect the antennas reception. I personally don't listen to the radio often so I couldn't give you a definitive answer.
@@brucewayne857 I like the stubby not for it's looks, but more for it's ability to allow other things to go over it say if you had a roof rack with a carrier. As well I am thinking of a bed camper build and I want to go over the cab. Cheers
I live in Albuquerque NM and usually, they will just steal your whole vehicle😂. I haven't personally heard of someone getting their tailgate stolen, but it definitely happens. I don't personally think most people will ever need one of these on your tailgate (especially with a locking tailgate), but I wanted to include it just incase someone was worried about it or had this happen to them in the past.
Because its just going to wear out your starter and battery. Nothing like running 80mph on the highway and then getting off an exit where your engine shuts down at the first red light. No flow for the turbos to cool down. No thanks I will keep my Maverick running please.
So the point of auto start stop is to increase fuel economy by turning the engine off at stop lights. With that said it will negatively effect fuel economy but at the moment I'm still getting 25mpg.
you can put a tinted strip on the top of the front window. helps A LOT
Accessorizing the Maverick has taking on a life of it’s own. I added many of these accessories myself
I also live in the desert and I use my sunshield in all weather. Plus it really helps w/ privacy, your tinted windows and sunshield make it even harder to peer in!
For the tailgate dampener I found it easier to get the nut almost all the way tight on the bench before moving to the truck to install.
FM reception needs the longer antenna. The 30 inch rods were the best.
The length of the antenna is the same, it's just packaged into a much tighter coil. The real issue is the height. You're losing about 3 inches of height, which shortens your range. But if the same antenna were mounted roughly 3 inches higher both antennas would perform pretty much the same.
Having the hold down point on the tailgate is much more practical than a soft open option.
I agree. I've had a time or 2 where I've needed it
oh, lol, i thought that was a bottle opener
I ordered that console organizer IMMEDIATELY after seeing this. THANK YOU
🎉Thanks for the video. Start Stop Eliminator is the first, to install on my wife's 2023 Maverick☝️🫶🫰have a pleasant day folks

"While your add it" that just made my eye twitch, lol.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only person who struggled with the tailgate dampener
Yeah, I threaded the little nutuntil it was already pretty snug when I turned it 90 degrees then used the impact. Went super fast.
Thanks for Sharing!!! Will definitely re-watch when my 2023 Maverick comes in!
*if it comes in*
Same here...
@Jay there's hope mine came in 6 months Hybrid XLT! Just a week ago! 😅😅😅
@@Jay-ns5ub got it last week 👍
Thread the dampener plate "M-Lok" nut onto the bolt before hand far enough so it barely turns to the lock position once inserted. Used a narrow prybar or screwdriver to hold tension as you tighten it.
Thinking about having custom door sill protectors made, driver side saying "MAVERICK" and passenger side saying "ROOSTER" or "GOOSE" lol
Now that’s funny 😂😂😂
I would be interested in shutting off the back up alarm. Other electric vehicles have the alarm as optional. Turn it on is your choice!
Look up “the shade” for windshield. So much better and easier to store since it folds onto itself like a shade on the windshield
I'll have to check it out
Great content but please Lose or lower the cheeezy music
thank you. I just got a 2023 Lariat and I am getting several of these items today
Now add some tuxmat floor mats, some some smokin seat covers, and a molle panel.

I would like a 3d scan made cover for the outlet and C cable to protect that area from any mis haps
Just got my hybrid. I did the tail gate letters and steering wheel cover. I'm getting floor mats, bed mat, soft cover soon.
Are letters on tailgate still on or do they fall off?
My tailgate letters are still on with no signs of coming off
@vdittycc mine are still look perfect to this day.
Please share the link on where you bought your upgrade kits. They are nice.
Done👍
I like the side flag decal
Thank you! It is a magnet decal made by Tactilian.
@@deserttrek I just visited the site. $32?? Way too pricey. Thanks though
Put the struts under the hood as well. That way you won't have to use the prop. Nice upgrades!
Thank you. I was thinking about doing that but wasn't 100% sold on them since I don't open my hood that much, but I will probably end up getting them anyway.
@@deserttrek I think they want $140 bucks + tax and shipping for those, prop rod works a-ok to me!
I agree that they are pricey for what they are but it is something I can use as content in a future video👍
Oh. My. God. I had no idea they made a thing to disable the auto start/stop. You're a fucking legend for showing me this!!
Why disable it. I have had my 2024 Maverick for 5 months didn't know it existed. Not a problem.

Great video on upgrades and accessories. Especially liked the console divider. Thanks.
These are gonna look siiiiick on my ‘23 XLT!
Sweet! All I need now is the truck! About a year now, still waiting on it lol
It is worth the wait
I just got mine. 18 months wait
Good work on the add one!

I’m hoping someone makes a sturdier tailgate assist, or an aluminum version of that console organizer!
some1 does make it. look on you there's a girl on here with a maverick and has a much better SS version of it
I used a pry bar to hold the tailgate dampener “M” lock bolt. Also since I got the XLT a wireless charger and wireless car play was a must.
Thanks bro for the video received my Maverick here in Germany and have ordered the add on parts.
20 seconds in and I can already say, what an awesome video!
2:42 that black bracket also is a tailgate lock you cant take tailgate off with it still on just save your money
Really dug the video. Console organizers nice...but I got the safe upgrade and loooooove it, so im not missing it too badly.

under stotage seat is great for kinetic and tow ropes
Ya thats just a badge door seal... they are protecting very little, though they do look cool.

How is the performance of the radio with the stubby antenna? Or do you not really use the radio for AM/FM radio stations?
I don't AM/FM, just Spotify. Sorry I couldn't be of any help
Works just fine and I get SXM on Apple CarPlay.
Great job. Can't wait to get my Maverick on Tuesday then make it really my own.
Thanks for making this video.
Did you put a seal coat on the paint, because I herd that the paint is very thin. I am doing that when I get my Maverick.
I've heard the same thing and I regret not getting the protection film from the factory.
Great video! For some reason Ford accessories are not available in Arizona. Hopefully that changes soon

Sure thing, just get ready for the long (worth it) wait for your Maverick!
Very well put video!!! It helps that mine is the same color so I know exactly how these will look on mine
As someone from ABQ.. we gotta worry about our tailgates!!

Correct, it doesn't void the warranty. It is a great truck that is worth the wait.

It doesn't plug into anything so it just gets secured with zip ties

Why turn off the auto stop?
I don't like that when I accelerate from a stop, the car jerks a little bit. It is just something that bugs me enough that I want it off
Because its just going to wear out your starter and battery. Nothing like running 80mph on the highway and then getting off an exit where your engine shuts down at the first red light. No flow for the turbos to cool down. No thanks I will keep my Maverick running please.
