  1. Ecoboost MPG - Road Tripping in a FWD

    Got it. Lie-o-meter is what I learned back when I had an F150 and posted on the F150forum.
  2. Ecoboost MPG - Road Tripping in a FWD

    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.
  3. Tonneau Help please?

    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...
  4. Flapping Tonneau Normal?

    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...
  5. Thinking about giving up

    I picked up a new '19 F150 XLT with the 3.5l twin turbo ecoboost motor and subscribed to the F150forum. It was loaded with threads about bad cam phasers, cooling systems, 10 speed transmission problems and more. I stayed with it and it turned out to be a great vehicle. Like others have said, a...
  6. TruXedo Pro X15 for $435

    I have the Ford soft cover on my Maverick but I had the Pro X15 on my F150 and it was a head over heels better cover.
  7. Who says the Maverick isn't a real truck...

    Mine has no tow hooks and 5 lugnut wheels. But Pennsy calls it a truck at registration time.
  8. Turn entry lights off?

    If you need to be night adapted quickly after stopping and don't want to mess with FORSCAN I can suggest an old Navy lookout trick. Close one eye about 3 minutes before you need darkness. It will be night adapted and will pull the one that was exposed to light to the night mode when you open it...
  9. Credit Card Payment Limit

    My dealer took an Amex partial payment of $2,500 with no charges or fees.
  10. Dealership Price Adjustment Games

    I just traded for a new Lariat a few days ago. I've bought a lot of new cars in my life and am a veteran of sales pitches at Raplh Williams Ford and Cal Worthington Dodge out in LA back in the roaring 1960s. So I haggled my best deal, trading a '23 Subie Outback, and negotiated an out-the-door...
  11. New Guy from Pennsy

    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...
