Good topic. Things I have learned about extended warranties: -haven't had to put mine to use yet, thankfully. Until 2 years ago would never have believed I'd ever do business with a dealership, let alone buy 'new'. Partly from being a step into the unknown for me, and partly from the...

MY closeouts have OP like

Theoretically yes, but I love my fuel pump too much to burn it out trying.

I'm glad to join this already crowded club: Done in a true mix of all kinds of driving, by my calculations 48.5mpg, 88 octane FYI.

As a condition of sale, I got my dealer to (eventually) install an AGM battery they had on hand, likely what they use in MY25. Yes, I was given a small amount of runaround and squawking, that neither this nor any other AGM was 'listed' for a MY24 hybrid. Maintenance dept mgr surmised it would...

I imagine it's like this:

Somewhat of an aside; what is the purpose of the rubber plugs in the bedside that get obstructed by these rails? if they are for drain tubes, I could see that being a conflict, but midway along the bed seems like a weird place to drain into.

to wit, the copious gaps on the side edges of the tailgate. 😡 My SIBL was done by the dealer, hence no 'Ford' logo; fyi they did spray the top rail by the rear window / 'bulkhead'. For now I'm leaning toward a retractable cover once I can get to it. Perhaps this type is less susceptible to...

When the time comes for dealer servicing, it's going to be a big bucket of bummer-balls for me. There's a dealer about 5 miles from me, but in our community when you talk about competence we are on the other side of that issue. Can't think of anything that would compel me to have locals...

Very interesting, hadn't yet researched enough to know what you discovered but thanks. Perhaps by the time I'm in the market there will be better kits. Or, higher profile tires as you mentioned -on larger rims, or would it work best to get alloys to match my 17's when the time comes?

I'm already following that compilation thread with interest already. Looks like the seasonal sales will probably pass me by before I make my choice. For now I'm most interested in in the hard retractable covers like Flowkottu or Synetic, because although they take up cargo space, they do the...

This is helpful, thanks. Most likely I can stumble through selecting, acquiring and installing the rails in much less time than the bed cover project would take. Do wonder, has anyone regretted putting the rails over the small rubber plugs that are in line? I've yet to see the purpose of...

Thanks everyone so far. My attention has been divided before, during, and after the vehicle purchase so I'll get to responding. Almost thought this thread would go unnoticed, but thanks to those that took the time to post. 🙏

Hi everyone, Seeking Your Kind Advice: Haven't had a chance to do much at all in the way of upgrades to my '24 XL hybrid Mav, as I am part-time caring for an aging parent and trying to keep head above water, but that might turn out to be a good thing. It gives me a chance to work out the best...

I mean, that *IS* the wipers disappearing when not in use...

Seconded, for sure. Just occurred to me I should aim a bit higher with my wishlist: I would sacrifice 5, 10 mpg or more for a sturdier truck, actual body-on-frame instead of unibody. I know unibody is the shape of things to come but it sucks to think of how vulnerable our fragile trucks are...
