I just got my first fillup, calculated mpg=23.49, lie-o-meter mpg=23.5, not bad. For info, I traded a Subaru XT with similar HP/torque specs for the Mav and it only got about 20 mpg average for the same driving routes.
I had a Truxedo X15 Pro on my F150 that was good. My Mav has the OEM Ford soft cover which I believe is also made by Truxedo. It's not up to the Pro X15 quality wise and sits a little higher but the one thing I like about it is that I can lower and raise the tailgate while leaving it locked in...
I had a pro x15 truxedo on my '19 F150. It didn't flap AFAIR. But, here's an anecdote. I washed it once and left a drying towel on the cover on the right side near the edge. The following morning I drove it in the dark about 7 miles to the grocery store at speeds up to 60. I was surprised to see...

So I haggled my best deal, trading a '23 Subie Outback, and negotiated an out-the-door...
Hi,
I loved my '19 F150 but we're in our 80s and it started to get too big to fit into doctor's parking lots. Tried an Outback XT for a few months but momma didn't like it very much so I just traded it for a new Azure gray Lariat 2.0. It's getting a soft rollup tonneau cover installed and I pick...
