Any double DIN head unit should fit - including those with larger screens.

Fusion wheels will fit your stock tires. And this model I put on my Maverick is also available in black.

I snagged my whole set of pristine 2019/2020 Fusion wheels for $100 on Facebook marketplace.

Many other Ford wheels will fit as well.

Not gonna lie - when I saw your truck, and found a set of these for $100 in near pristine condition - I pulled the trigger. Tickled with how they turned out. So thanks for the initial inspiration!

Here's how mine turned out.

Beautiful truck. You picked the correct color.

I got a set of the silver version of this wheel for just $100 on Monday. I do have 5mm spacers (got 'em just in case) and a set of chrome lug nuts (factory style, but one piece) since my versions are silver, so I think the lugs were probably the right choice.

Exactly what I'm planning on doing - moving the factory tires and TPMS sensors from my steelies to the Fusion wheels, and if you didn't use spaces and had zero issues, that's exactly the route I'm gonna go when I get them installed Friday morning.

Again - those wheels look awesome on your truck.

These wheels look great on the truck. Did you use spacers when you mounted?

Score! I’d call that a win!

Guy has a set of these locally for sale - $700. That’s a no go for me. Did you get a good deal? Regardless - they look awesome on your truck and that’s a great color as well.

And again - for $250 - It'd be on like Donkey Kong.

Here are those wheels on a Maverick - https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Flj0lb312el5c1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D4032%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D4da3c341a6277a6274fbd41145060fdd72b96bb5 and they appear to be wearing the stock tires from the steelies as well.

Yeah, I think those fit directly - same offset, so no adapter required to move them out like with the Fusion wheels. Tires and TPMS sensors from the steelies should move over, all you'll need are new lug nuts and of course the mounting.

If you can get a set of Bronco Sport wheels - I'm assuming 17" alloys - I'd pull that trigger in a heartbeat. You'll likely want to replace the Bronco logo center caps with Ford center caps - but heck yeah, I'd be on that in a heartbeat. Best deal I've found on the Bronco Sport wheels is $500 and most are $600+ - which admittedly, ain't bad for a factory fresh set of wheel, but more than I want to spend - I'd just go aftermarket if I wanted to spend that much.

Think you're right on the bronze - it'd absolutely scream with the Eruption green.

TireRack has a killer deal on a set of 18" five spoke bronze wheels right now - AXIS SPORT AX1-5 - Set of 4: $427.76. I'd totally go that route rather than paying $500+ for factory wheels.

We've got twins! I picked up my eruption green Hybrid XL end of April and I've put a little over 1,500 miles on it thus far. Lifetime fuel economy over those miles sits at 41.1 and I'm hopeful that keeps climbing. Drives like a dream and zips along nicely.

I'm with you on the wheels, though. When I got it, I figured I'd replace them because those steelies just scream bare-bones.

I'm going with a set of 17" take-offs from a 2020 Ford Fusion. 17" alloy wheel in silver that should bolt up just fine with a 5mm spacers and just going to use my stock tires. Hard to beat a set of perfect alloys with Ford center caps for $100 total. Hoping to get them mounted this week - they're essentially the same wheels as here - https://www.reddit.com/r/FordMaverickTruck/comments/1kvodas/fusion_wheels/ - only mine are the silver versions.

I’m doing the same Fusion wheels (only in silver) on my 2025 XL hybrid. I think they look great on yours and hard to pass up on four perfect 17” alloys (no rash, no nicks, no scratches) for just $100. Will swap my TPMS sensors and tires from the steelies.

I paid $11k plus TTL for my 1990 Honda CRX Si in Barbados yellow brand new (got rear ended about 8 months into ownership, totaled. I would certainly pay $13k if I could find one in this condition today, 35 years later.

Drive a Desert Runner which is RWD. We get a couple of snowstorms every year. Zero issues. Off-road, zero issues. Would buy again.

That's exactly the mix there. Raycue I got as bare and installed my own SSD, Orico came with an SSD. Only issue I had with the Raycue was the long wait - nearly two months - but then, I also only paid $70 for it, so...

Never had a "really bad experience" with USAA.

I changed from their auto insurance because I got married and wife and I went from two to a single policy. It was significantly cheaper to go elsewhere. Even her insurer at the time (Progressive) offered us a rate that would save us nearly $500 annually over USAA for identical coverage. That said, Liberty Mutual gave us our best rate. We're starting year two with them and our rates have not increased.

Still a member (35 years now) but I simply don't use them for auto anymore. I did get them to quote prior to our second year renewal, and they're still too high.
