We purchased a 2024 Hybrid Maverick last year, based on model. It did not come with 12 Volts in the bed. It just got an empty space behind a plate.

Ford tells me I am out of luck. Has anyone come up with a way to add 12 Volts in the bed??

Can't comment on a 2024 but my 2022 was supposed to have the pigtails to connect to the rear bed wiring. It didn't so I bought them Bed wiring pigtails . You might check around your interior to see if they are hidden somewhere. Mine didn't have the small funnel either!. Keep in mind these power sources are only rated at 15 amp

Then I added a plate to connect the the pigtail to an outlet. There's many web ideas on adding power outlets to the side plated.

I have a 2023; my dealer told me their are two wires for 12vdc on each side of the
bed, covers for the spaces, close to the tailgate. The wires probably fell down,
dealer told me that happens during shipments. I was able to find the wires and I
installed a receptacle and connected the wires, used a cigarette type receptacle.
Works fine, use it for an electric cooler that works on 120vac or 12vdc. Only
installed one receptacle, on drivers side.

That is exactly what I would like to use it for….to plug in my fridge in the back.
