RAM® Rotating X-Grip® Large Phone Mount with Flex Adhesive Base (RAP-B-378-UN10RU)

To the right of the Ford Maverick's display screen is an empty accessory pocket—the perfect space for a phone mount. This mounting location keeps the top of your dash nice and clear and your windshield free from any suction cup mounting. The best base to mount into this space is with the Flex Adhesive Ball Base (RAP-B-378U) along the side of the pocket. Before adhering the base, position the complete mount to make sure you can still achieve your desired angle and adjust the knob on the socket arm. Once the exact position is determined, adhere the ball base and allow a full 24 hours for the base to bond to the pocket before adding any other mounting components.


If done properly, you should still be able to adjust the knob however it may be inconvenient since the arm is inside the Ford Maverick's accessory pocket. That is why our experts recommend this kit, because it includes a rotating version of the RAM® X-Grip®—ensuring you can easily rotate your phone between portrait and landscape mode without having to loosen the knob.
