The Ford Maverick® pickup isn’t just a versatile, reliable vehicle—it’s a canvas for your creativity. With the Ford Integrated Tether System (FITS), you can personalize your Maverick in ways you’ve only imagined. By leveraging the power of 3D printing, you can design and produce your own accessories, perfectly tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
How Does FITS Work?
FITS is an innovative feature designed to maximize your Ford Maverick’s usability. It consists of a series of slots located at the rear of the center console and under the seat storage bins, allowing you to securely attach various accessories. While Ford offers a range of accessories compatible with FITS, the true magic lies in its compatibility with custom 3D-printed parts.
Creating Your Own Accessories
Using a 3D printer or a third-party printing service, you can craft accessories that enhance your Maverick’s functionality and style. Whether you need a specific tool holder, a unique storage solution, or a custom aesthetic touch, 3D printing offers endless possibilities. Ford even provides downloadable CAD files to get you started on your customization journey. Visit Ford’s official guide for detailed instructions and resources.
Design Guidelines for 3D Printing
To ensure your custom accessories are both practical and safe, Ford’s engineers have outlined a few guidelines:
- Breakaway Feature: Incorporate a breakaway feature to avoid damaging the console.
- Maximum Breakaway Threshold: Keep this threshold at a maximum of 17 lbs.
- Additional Support: For heavier accessories, utilize the vehicle floor or the area surrounding the FITS slot for added support.
- Secure Attachment: Ensure all accessories and stowed items are properly secured to prevent movement during driving, which could lead to personal injury.
By following these guidelines, you can create durable, functional accessories that seamlessly integrate with your Maverick.
