2022 Ford Maverick - BAD NEWS - Grille removal - Front emblem removal - HOW TO!

Random commenter: You know you have to wait 1000 miles before you try to tow anything 🙄 MrBoom (third day of owning the truck): Let me take the whole truck apart and show you if it's easy or not 😏

[@MrBoom50]

Our last three brand new vehicles were all taken apart sooner than this one 😅😅

And I believe he tow above limits (2k).

You know you have to wait at least 1000 miles before taking the truck apart. lol

[@MrBoom50]

@@xxZerosumxx that's great and all.. but you're wrong.

[@xxZerosumxx]

@@MrBoom50 I hope you know I was joking. Making fun of whoever told you to wait 1k miles. On a side note, can you park the truck next to an older ranger take measurements. I haven't seen anyone do this. They only state that its comparable in size. Thanks for what you're doing to your Maverick and sharing it.

[@ROBSOLUTELY]

They haven't even started building mine yet... and this guy is taking his apart already!

That haven't started building my original order either 😤

[@Knuckles549]

Whats your build date?

[@macsterguy]

I was the only guy I knew that use to do this kind of stuff in the 70s. I would take eight track under dash mount players and cut holes in dashes and create custom installs in the dash. Chol giant holes in the roof of cars and drop in sunroofs… You are a man after my own heart

[@terrellfrancis4794]

Just want to say your video saved my life.. and pockets. Had a collision with a deer which cracked my grille and messed up the Ambient Outside Temperature Sensor. Dealership was saying around $2000+ worth of damage… watch your video, took off the bumper. All I need is a replacement grill (hated it anyways), plugged the sensor back in, and no more engine light on 🙌🏾‼️

[@gwalton1234]

First time truck owner. Maverick ordered 8/16 and still on order. I am enjoying watching you tear it down. I also can’t wait to see how you customize it.

[@jrewen]

Dude, thanks for this - especially taking the time to walk through each step. My partner's Maverick seems to have be hit by someone's hutch, cracking the grill. Not only did you teach me how to take it off to replace, you also showed me that I don't need the whole thing - I just need a sub-part & can keep the bar w/ the badge. If she wants an update to the badge, now would be the time to get a new one :)

[@ryanteribery]

Thanks for the video. The Mav will be the first truck that I have owned. It’s scheduled for build the 3rd week of October. Keep the videos rolling.

Not sure about the Mverick, but on the 2019 F150 the emblem can be removed by removing the bolts for the hook locking latch and moving to a side and then sticking your hand inside

[@cainesproduction3602]

I know this is early but can you see if you can reach the oil drain pan to change oil without jacking up ? Thanks

[@sir_wesley86]

did you have to take the whole grill off like you did just to get the front, black strip that has the ford logo on it or could just that be taken off? Mine is Silver and I really want it to be black!

[@dougf9900]

So since the unpainted lower part of the bumper unbolts from the painted part, are the attachment points on the truck to put the tow hooks on a non-FX4 truck?

So if any of the bulbs from the headlights malfunctions or needs replacing you need to take the whole front end off just to take off the headlights? Or can you reach the bulbs from behind the headlight housing? I'm wondering mainly for those turn signals, I would replace those with LEDs.

The funny part of this is considering that you live near San Antonio where I live, the Texas heat wrecks havoc on the glue which holds on the Ford piece. So, all over San Antonio area people are driving without that blue oval emblem. Of course, I don't know why you think a lot of people would even be interested in taking those off?

[@MrBoom50]

The emblem is bolted on. And people want to take them off the replace with custom painted or custom aftermarket ones.

[@aj_aka_alan]

@@MrBoom50 yes the emblem may be bolted on, but the blue oval ford piece is glued in the emblem. Those fall off all that time in Texas.
