These are all solid recs, appreciate it. Especially those that have run some of these and have reported on handling and noise.

I’ve poked at numerous threads, read through oodles of comments, and can’t make a solid decision on where to head next. My current situation: 14 month old maverick with factory pirellis (fx4 pkg). They’ve been ok, but not great. I’ve slid around in heavy snow, and I’ve gotten semi stuck in some...

I’ve used a service called plastiq to issue checks that are funded by my business CC when a place doesn’t accept Amex or the math makes sense for some other reason. There’s a decent fee on the service, so it only really makes sense when I can write it off as a biz expense and then reap the card...

I’ve never had anyone in person say anything negative, but have had a lot of curious people come up and ask questions. Often when I’m doing something silly like this: It’s more than enough truck for me to make money, better mileage than my old Tacoma or ridge line, and is far easier to park...

Lots of good additional info there, thanks for sharing. Your trimming of the plastic is much neater than mine, looks sharp. Didn't realize you are also in Pgh until now too! Will keep an eye out for another tracrac roaming around.

I definitely took a deep breath before pulling the trigger on the multi-tool, especially since the truck was only two weeks old when I did! I was re-assured when I found the factory paint under there was in great shape, and there are good weep and drainage paths down and out. I had planned on...

I left alerts turned on figuring someone else would eventually be in the same shoes I was, looking for answers on a relatively untread topic. I snapped some new photos this morning to hopefully help, as my 'word picture' may not be very clear. The pre-drilled holes that come in the bed rails...

30k electric maverick? Shut up and take my money. I’m a carpenter who puts 20, maybe 30 miles on my truck any given week. Not paying for gas ever again, and being able to charge/run tools off the truck would be lovely. The f150 lightning was appealing, but too big both in size and price.

The hardest part was breaking the thread lock on the existing bolts. The top and bottom pieces are both attached with threaded bolts, so once those are out, it’s just an aluminum extrusion that was easy to cut on the chop saw. The holes were already the right size for re-tapping without having...

Rails are the standard Thule ones that comes with the full kit. I had to cut off about 18", and then let them run just about flush with the tailgate, and trimmed the black plastic at the back of the cab to get maximum length for the rails. The way the unibody bed frame goes together, none of...

I'm in for just a hair over $2k with rack + tonneau, with 90% of that being the Thule tax in getting the TracRac. I got a cheapo gator rollup cover because I just need to keep tools moderately dry and wanted something I knew wouldn't have interference issues with the legs of the rack, which a...

My maverick is a work truck (carpenter) and as such will need to frequently carry 8' and 10' material with a bed full of tools, and occasionally 12' and 16' items, including my 34' extension ladder. I wanted to find something that was tonneau compatible and didn't rely on mounting on/to the...

I still can't believe it's real when I walk outside in the morning!

I’ve been mostly lurking here, but finally received my Cactus Gray XLT (lux, 4k, fx4) a bit over two weeks ago and had to share my experience. Had a ridgeline that I quite enjoyed for years, but the frame failed inspection August 2022 and left me scrambling as that was an awful time to buy a...

Just give me a smaller battery for my small truck. I use my truck for work, in the city, so as small a footprint as possible is great, and often don’t hit 50 miles in a week, so these 450mile packs are wasting materials and my money.

Had a Ridgeline that failed inspection this year for rust (15 years old, 195k miles, has been incredibly reliable to that point). So went shopping, and just could not justify getting a current Ridgeline. It was an even split on price and poor mileage that turned me off of both. Looked at tacos...

First post is reporting that I ordered on the wire, and not expecting a mav for quite some time. But happy to add to the data.
