Ford invites users to print their own parts for the Maverick pickup

Automotive giant Ford has come up with an interesting initiative - the company decided to encourage its customers to 3D print new accessories for the new 2022 Maverick pickup truck.

This week, the Ford team released CAD files for the Maverick's rear-seat storage space, as well as the FITS (Ford Integrated Tether System) - special slots for accessories.

There are a total of eight FITS slots in the car: one behind the center console, where the cup holder is usually installed, and seven under the rear seat. The system was designed from the ground up to be modular, allowing customers to order a range of accessories to suit different needs, such as storage dividers to separate sneakers and soccer balls, or hooks for grocery bags.

The company sells the FITS Accessory Kit for $50. It includes a rear cup holder, cable organizer, bag hooks, wastebasket and dividers. Using the new documentation on the Ford website, you can easily create your own version of the accessory kit.
