I installed the Maxmate roll up cover on my 2023 today, and it was fairly simple:
- phillips screwdriver
- 10mm socket
That's all I needed and it took about 30 mins because I had to sweep out the bed/etc. first :)
Driving up to Tahoe tomorrow (235 miles, 6120 foot elevation) and we'll see...
Got a small crease on the passenger side, I think someone dinged my truck in a parking lot. Just noticed it, but it could have been there a while...
Anyway, I'm on the peninsula, anyone have a body shop/person they'd recommend? I'm hoping for just a paintless dent-pull situation...
Oh, YES, bugs just live on the CO. It's slightly better now that it's so cold out, but a few months ago the truck was just covered in bugs every time I went to hop in.
Filled up at sea level in the Bay area on Sunday, drove up to Lake Tahoe in the Sierras (over Donner pass/etc.) and when I parked at the lake (6120ft), I was at exactly 29.0 mpg for ~240 miles.
I know that going home, since it's mostly downhill ;) I can usually get closer to 39 average.

Yeah, 100% -- I bought my first Ranger back in the day because I was full time motorcyling and it just got so tiring to never have dry shoes/etc.

Ah, nice! Same here. Dad's got a 2011 4x4 Ranger and he will not part with it. He took a ride in my Maverick and said "Nice truck!" and I asked if he wanted to upgrade from his Ranger and he laughed. "Way too many buttons and screens in here!" :)
East coast though, so the rust will finish off...
When the Maverick was first announced, I was sad to see it was a unibody 4-door. Exactly what I did NOT want. Would we never get a truck like the original Ranger again? :)
But I watched videos and read reviews and, honestly, I hated the crappy gas mileage I was getting in my 06 Element.

I finally got around to writing up my first long-ish drive in my new Maverick. 2023, AWD, CO/BAP. The trip was back in April, still plenty of snow on the ground.
Long Story Short: Loved it.
From the Bay Area up to Lake Tahoe, my drive is about 240-ish miles each way. In my previous car (2006...
