I've lurked here for a while and have learned a lot from these forums, so much good info. This thread along with a Bronco Sport in my building helped me solidify my choice for Area 51. Pretty impressed with this little truck. I never got to test drive one but did rent one for a day from Turo and knew I could expect good highway mileage which is probably 95% of my driving although I rarely drive thanks to work from home. My first 50+ mile highway trip I averaged almost 39mpg and that trip was about 90% highway. I have had many turbo charged vehicles before and the secret to good mileage is staying out of boost plus I've always been a speed limit driver which helps.

I was able to find some dirt cheap Bronco Sport Outer Banks wheels on craigslist and mounted some 235/65R18 Michelin Defender LTX M/S on them, I will never do crazy offroading but appreciate the Defender's abilities in the rain and snow for trips I take to New England to see friends. (Disregard the TPMS light, that was before I had the Defenders mounted and the sensors switched over from the stock steelies)

I already added a leather Bronco Sport steering wheel and activated cruise control. The only other things I'll add are tint for the front windows to match the rear tint, 3M Paint protection film and a BAK X4S that's on its way from Realtruck (Thanks Alex).

Every time someone talks to me about the truck they compliment the color. That’s how I know I made the right decision.

Area 51 Maverick with larger aftermarket wheels, lift and hood scoop.

I was thinking and wondering if the ford edge rims would fit? I'm thinking about a set for my Maverick, I want to lower it a little. So the rims fit good, no rubbing?

This color is like a chameleon in photos. I hope it ends up looking more blue than gray in person. Haven't had a chance to see it except in videos and images.

It does I love the blue , had many compliments on the color.

Hey I know that town, in that I live 5 minutes from where this photo was taken. Haven't seen this truck around before.

Mine is the Area 51 Lariat FE. I had the FE decals removed because they started to come off in the car wash. I just had the front windows tinted to match the back. I think it looks fantastic without the decals and with the front tint

.

Are these wheels the optional 18" black ones? Added it to mine because it offsets the color great.

Added hood and rocker panel decals to mine!

Hope everyone is staying cool in the shade like Maeve here is.

Those are stock. Once I need new tires, then I'll up grade
