The Maverick is great for hauling our kayaks. And Area 51 is the best color.
I was thinking about getting a kayak after my truck comes, is that a standard-length kayak? I know the bed is short, but it looks like it sticks out pretty far.

My wife’s kayak is 9 feet long, mine is 11.5ft. We put the tailgate halfway down and load the boats at an angle, so they sit in the front corner of the bed. Weave a tie-down strap through the scupper holes and handles, and they stay secure. They do stick out past the bed, but not by much, and they’re safe from hitting anything or oncoming traffic.

Halfway down position? Does it actually stay there or did you tie it? I’ve had my truck for 7 months and haven’t noticed that if it’s a normal thing.

Check your owner’s manual or YouTube, or even Ford’s Maverick website. You can move the cables that hold the tailgate to different studs, so it only folds halfway down instead of flat. It’s meant to help with hauling larger items like 4x8 sheets of plywood without bending or falling out.
@Haru
Definitely looks like a good thing to have. Thanks!
I took mine to Starbucks, that’s where I usually see the most trucks.
Only if it’s labeled as ‘Twuck Stuff’

I’d still use it.
Can we not? This thread is kind of pathetic in that regard. Cool we haul stuff in our truck. We don’t need to take pictures and post it on the internet.

We need something generic. The forum requires flair for each post, but many posts don’t fit the narrow flair selection, so they’re chosen randomly. We need a non-specific catch-all flair. I don’t really care what it’s called.

No, I agree. I always picture a very satisfied nerd when I see the truck stuff posts.

I am a nerd, and I do find hauling things around in a little trucklet very satisfying. It fits.
Maverick isn’t a truck.

I don’t get why people like you are in this forum…

Because I’m a Ford tech.

Okay, and nobody actually believes the Maverick is a ‘truck,’ but dumb comments like yours still need to be made for some reason.
