Time for some more modifications to my 2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid! I just got the bed sprayed with Line-X so time for some extra accessories to make the bed more useful. I’ve had roll up tonneau covers before and prefer them to the hard tri fold style. I got a Tonneau Pro cover, model# LR-6025 and a bed extender from Amazon made by ADI OFF ROAD.

I started with the bed extender thinking it had all the correct parts, oh was I wrong. The side mounts have the exact same hole pattern as the factory holes, however the install kit only came with screws that were too small for the factory holes. I found some small stainless steel bolts, washers, and lock nuts to use instead. To get to the back of the bolts you have to remove the tail lights. This is done with just a screwdriver. Pull the taillights towards the rear and slightly to the side to get them out of the mounts.

The tonneau cover was significantly easier to install since all the hardware is about standardized with the side clamps. I ended up adjusting mine to the highest “4” setting on the adjustment blocks as it was way too loose prior to that.

Overall installation took about 3 hours. 45 minutes was for the tonneau cover. The bed extender should have taken 30 minutes if the hardware was correct like the Amazon listing showed.

I will definitely be making many modifications to this one, as I do with all of my vehicles. I already added the lane keep assist turn signal stalk and used Forscan to modify the programming and allow it. Check out my other video installing that! I will be replacing the rear view mirror with one that has homelink garage door openers. I will also be adding Ford Perimeter Plus for keyfob remote start and a little extra alarm system.

Also – I’ll be doing a tow test soon with a boat to see how it does for MPG and see if it will pull itself out of a boat dock!

Let me know what you want to see on this truck. I’ll be making a lot more videos to come with it!
