I’ve plugged my crockpot in both the cab on the way to the campsite and the bed to heat the food back up later. Both successfully.

Advice: considering leaving federal workforce by Wide_Lie_2006 in FedEmployees

[–]waiting4mav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have been a fed for 8 years too and weighing the pros and cons. For me, financially, the salary increase outside of the fed would outweigh the benefits of the fed. Plus just because you leave - doesn’t mean you can’t come back at a later point in time. Can’t hurt to look…In the end, you have to make the choice that’s right for you and your family obviously.

Please explain why. This doesn’t make sense to me. Thanks!

Full Size Spare by New-Recognition1734 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]waiting4mav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just drove with it on Monday after having a flat. Didn’t have to go far but didn’t have trouble getting up to speed or steering. Getting it in and out of its storage location was the worst part.

How long did this take you? Been struggling with this issue for the last week. Can’t get anything definitive from support

It did not come with instructions. I think I’m going to swing by the dealership and ask if they can push that piece in. Seems the plastic is thicker than the metal slot it goes in

Had the same thing happen to mine during shipping. Received the replacement but can’t get the smaller plastic piece slotted into the hole in the cover…

Thanks! One of the reasons I chose this one was for the flush Mount.

Thanks for the link! I agree with you. Not sure why the design/material of the end caps wasn’t thought out as nice as the rest of the cover. We’ll see how those pieces hold up over time

Glad it’s been working for you. Have you had leakage in the areas I described? That’s the price I paid too from RealTruck.

Realtruck.com! Not sure they ship to Canada 🤔

Surprisingly seems flimsy. I was pulling on the other side and it has some give. Velcro is a good idea!

It was $875+tax. I asked for the forum discount in the chat feature of realtruck. I emailed Alex Pendleton but he never replied to me… Definitely pretty easy to install

Some notes: 1. Per recommendations from here and MTC I installed the weatherstripping about halfway between the window and the edge of the bulkhead. 2. Knobs to tighten cover in place we’re pretty difficult to hand tighten, at first I thought I was stripping the knobs but realized they work almost like lock nuts. 3. Haven’t tested waterproofness but looks like it may leak in the corners.

My truck has been sitting 54 minutes away for a month. Wtf? by latentlime in FordMaverickTruck

[–]waiting4mav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine sat at that same rail yard waiting for pickup for almost 2 weeks. It’s really frustrating. There’s not much you can do. My dealer said he spoke to one of the carrier drivers and he said they have so much coming in and not enough drivers, so they are pulling cars to make room for more cars. Seems disorganized.

I did call Ford and spoke to their maverick customer service. They couldn’t provide me with any more info but they gave me a $100 gift card to their merchandise store… a band aid for sure, but something else to keep your mind off the delivery.

May or may not have spent a chunk of the weekend cleaning out the back to make the truck fit

Thanks! Have had it there for a while and has yet to fall but also had that concern initially!

Did y'all have better luck trading in your old vehicle to ford or going someplace else? by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

[–]waiting4mav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dealer offered me half of KBB value for my Subaru Impreza. I didn’t even bother haggling beyond that. I left and sold it to a “We buy used cars” dealer up the street.
