If I was this worried about being a few minutes late somewhere because of a flat, I'd get tougher tires, a full size spare, impact driver, lug nut adapter, and an adapter for a compact jack.

Fair enough, but a lot of folks ability to follow directions is questionable. Also, I haven't had a reason to restore trim on a new vehicle. 6 months is week for a modern restoration product.

Half a year, eh? I'll raise you two years. https://cerakoteceramics.com/cerakote-ceramic-trim-coat-restoration-kit/

Do those have cats in them?

That is more dependent on your specific car seat and how it interfaces with the vehicle. If you have a good car seat, no worries. I am also a big believer of the Swedish approach of keeping kids in rear-facing car seats until 4, and then high back booster seats.

Have you ever heard of the Ford Pinto?

OffLeaseOnly, a major player in used cars, appears to be in the process of shutting down after 23 years of business. The company owns 5 dealerships in South Florida that holds 1500 vehicles in their inventory. If you visit their website, their banner states, "Off Lease Only is closed to the...

Are the rears too soft, or is it just a height thing?

IMO this is what the factory ride height should be for non FX4 and Tremor models.

I wanted AWD for heavy rain/light off-roading, 4k tow to potentially pull a small travel trailer, uHaul, jet skis, etc., and the fun aftermarket potential.

Technically you are required to replace any missing or faulty emissions control devices with an OEM equivalent while driving on a public road. You should research your specific area's rules and enforcement as to what they do or don't look for. If you are not doing the work yourself, keep in mind...

Is multi tune something you could upgrade to later or do you have to purchase it with the tuner?

It sounds like a supplier or ford themselves ran out of the part, and no one wanted to break the news and stop production.

I genuinely miss my simple, analog Dodge Dakota and its masculine styling. The Maverick is the truck I need, but I'd be more at home in something like a Chevy Colorado or the perhaps the next Dakota.

I would get a Lariat Luxury because of the ActiveX seats, sound deadening/acoustic windshield, sound system, heated seats, and heated steering wheel. Is that worth $10.6K more to me? No. More like $3-4K.

My truck had better last that long after putting $5k into it the last few months. I will be treating it very nicely in the meantime. It could use some more work, but that's not happening.

I just screen grabbed an interior picture from 2023 and then 2022 via the build page.

They finally updated the interior image on the XL. The same color is listed for each year. I would not be very pleased with the brown look.
