Looking forward to seeing the new grille on the Ranger, including the Ford letters... :nice:

Put this box with two 10" Polk dxi subs. Sounds good.

Looks good too! :nice:

Looking Good! :nice:

How About a Matte Black Hood & Cowl Spray To Match Grille! :hmm:

That Would Be BOSS! :salute:

Just a Thought! :)

I Like The Upgraded Cables! I Always run Those Big Blue Ones on My Mopars! Some Got Serious Compression & Can Be Hard To Crank!

I added something new to the fleet a couple weeks ago .... a 2025 Maverick. Took advantage of the Employee pricing...something else to void the warranty on and mod...lol. Eibach springs arrived a few minutes ago!

I've been restraining myself to not go and get one of those or a used F-150 :rofl2:

Here is day 1....
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/themust...b19e2d114a.jpg

I didn't like the wheels on the XLT or higher and I can add the things I do want so I didn't see value in paying for wheels I hate...so these will get changed like I did on the Mustang. It came with the 4K towing package and Copilot 360 which I wouldn't have ordered either, I have the F-350 for towing. But that's what they had. I didn't care for the other colors because the bumper cover where it comes up into the headlights looks like tusks on anything other than black so we chose the black one. The '25 comes with a lot more technology. In '22 you couldn't get cruise control with an XL, now you can and in '25 the AWD comes standard with the 2.0 Ecoboost. We gave the Hybrid a test drive but just didn't like it.

We considered the green but this is the same interior that comes with the Eruption Green and it's just weird to me to have a green truck with blue interior. It's still taking a lot of getting used to the dial for the transmission. The XL in '25 comes with the bigger screen too so that's a plus. The seats are REALLY comfortable and good for my bad back. Tons of head room all around so it's comfortable for 4 grown adults.

First mod arrived yesterday.... time to lower it! I'm thinking about painting the wheels black in police car fashion until I decided what wheels I want. Also need to decide on a tonneau cover, I want a hard cover but not a one piece and I want it lockable.

Do it! you won't regret it....these Mavericks are a great bang for the buck and the aftermarket is really ramping up. These to me are like the old GMC Syclones...in stock form they are only 35HP less, AWD and with the upgrades that are out there I can see it easy to get 400HP pretty easily with a turbo upgrade. That may be a while as I don't need another full blown project vehicle right now...LOL. There is supposed to be a HP drop on the '25 models starting with Job 3 due to some fuel particulate filter or something, mine is still the 250HP version and it will move out pretty good. It has different driving modes (Towing, Slippery conditions, Normal & Sport) and there is a noticeable difference.

I Guess The Maverick Uses The 5x108 Bolt Pattern.

I Found This List of FORD'S That Use The Same Pattern. Might Have Some Wheels Laying Around For an OEM Look! Some Euro Cars Listed So Not as Many Choices as it Looks!

Maybe Helpful!

I Am Biased But I Think on A Little Black Four Door Truck a Harley Truck Theme With Orange Accents or Hertz Gold Accents. For Me The Wheels Would Have To Be Polished or Chrome. But I'm a Dinosaur!

Yes, it's 5 X 108 and I think between 35mm to 40mm offset. I've never been a Harley guy and while I like the black and gold the wife isn't a fan. I was thinking of doing the livery that I have on the SVO and Ecoboost on it in black reflective for a ghost livery that pops at night or when sunlight hits it, I did a Challenger for a guy that way and it looks great. As far as wheels...I think black with a polished lip would be good but I don't want all black. I'd love to find a BBS style wheel or Riken style with a polished lip, but I don't think they exist. I am planning on that hood scoop in the last pic...I like that one.

05stangkc May 14, 2025 04:02 PM

Well I Got 1! I Like The Scoop Too!

Replaced the starter two days ago due to random no crank issues. Lifetime warranty ftw.
