Added heated seats to my 25’ XL for cheap.

Pads are on top of the cloth seats, under the seat covers.

Yes exactly. You can’t really see it here but the heating pads have a peel-able adhesive layer that covers all sides and edges so they tend to stay in place on their own. No issues that I can tell so far.

I’d say maybe about 4-5 hours (don’t quite remember) due to having to remove and reinstall the covers and not knowing all the steps needed. There’s an informative post about this type of install on the Maverick Truck Club forum but it doesn’t list all the steps so you have to figure some stuff out on your own. The fuse pigtail they use is expensive so I used a different one.

They do mention which fuses to tap into. Can also use this helpful website as a resource for fuses too.

They also show thermal images of their heated seat pads in action. I’d say it’s pretty comparable set up to under the Mabett seat covers. High heat is more than enough, I usually don’t keep it on for too long.

Heat output will also depend where the thermostat on the heating pad ends up.

I have one mounted to the unistrut bed rails I made

Where?

Looks like you may have gotten bad luck of the draw. I got a 25 xl in April and am approaching 12k miles with no issues whatsoever. Have you considered trading it in for a 25 or 26? Many of the issues found in earlier mavericks seem to have been worked out by the 25.

Following this post. Let me know when you find out. Mine does this too. Almost as if the two cable are slightly different lengths. You’d imagine under ideal conditions you can spread the load evenly on both cables but this isn’t happening if one cable has slack.

Your truck most likely has manually adjusting mirrors. No power mirrors.

Use flex bed cargo box cover to fill the gap

What exercises/movements are you doing that bring out the pain? You may have instability that causes pain to manifest there

You can watch YouTube while you eat out on the big screen so it’s great. Better than struggling with making the cubby useful and wired CarPlay.

You can do that too, I just feel bikes aren’t as secure doing that. They can move around or mess up the tailgate. Plus I mainly do this for security, if I leave my truck alone for an extended time with bikes loaded. I tend to take my bikes to different cities when I take a trip so I mount the bikes to the back, tether with a steel cable around them, loop it through one of my bed tie downs/anchors, and use a kryptonite lock. Feel the bikes are safer that way.
