My wife and I have each worked as proofreaders and copy editors, and I was bemoaning the lack of a decent editorial eye (not to mention a decent graphics person & decent typesetter... it's really sad).
Thanks, T.S. I texted my contact at the dealer, and he shrugged off any worry about the cops pulling me over for an expired temporary plate. I need to drive the truck to work, so I guess I just have to take my chances.
After several searches with Google, standard, and advanced search fields on the forum, I'm throwing my hands up and coming to you all for help.
As recommended,* I've been reading the owners manual. On page 457 of my manual, under Scheduled Maintenance: Check Every Month it lists 'Fuel and water...
I've had my truck for three weeks, and expected to have the usual 'new owner syndrome' thing where you buy something and then see it everywhere. I've now become highly attuned to spotting Ford pickups, but it wasn't until last week that I saw one in the parking garage at the Lynx Blue Line...

I swear, I tried. I read for hours the first weekend I got home with the truck. And I'm a good reader. But I don't think I got more than 1/3 of the way through it. Now that I've actually driven it a bit, I'll dive back into the manual; context should help a lot.

Minor point of curiosity. During my first week of owning my 2023 Lariat I was looking at something in the wheel well and noticed this plastic clip attached to one of the edges. It will pull out about 8".
