The factory hood prop rod on the 2022-2026 Maverick is a minor inconvenience that adds up fast, especially when you are checking fluids, inspecting the engine bay, or working on underhood components regularly. Rough Country's hydraulic hood struts replace that rod with a set of gas-charged struts that automatically lift and hold the hood open the moment you unlatch it, keeping both hands free and eliminating the risk of the hood falling unexpectedly.
Gas-charged struts do the heavy lifting. Once installed, the struts raise the hood automatically and hold it securely at full open, removing any dependence on the factory prop rod. No more balancing the hood against the windshield or fumbling with a thin metal stick in tight spaces.
Bolt-on installation with standard hand tools. Mounting brackets position in the center of the hood and attach to existing points without drilling or cutting. The full kit installs in approximately 30 minutes, making it a straightforward upgrade.
