Definitely spring clips for the ends of the small strut. I've had to remove the strut on mine a couple of times to get to the lower taillamp bolt, which is blocked with it in place. When removing, that little clip can fly off, leaving you checking the ground around the truck for where it...

Having dealt with side treadwear on other vehicles, I tend to keep mine 1-2 over the placard, to allow for those cooler days. - Still adjust seasonably, as 37 during the summer translates into 31-32 during the winter. (Every 10 degree change alters the pressure by 1 PSI).

Out of curiosity, what was the weight on the teardrop you previously had? I know some of the 'tiny' teardrops come in well under the 2000 lb limit for us non-4k owners, and just curious what those weigh.

My spine had a chill run up it when reading carwash! :) Coming upon on 2 1/2 years, and mine has only been washed in either the driveway, or using just the pressure sprayer at a self-serve, when it was way too cold to attempt washing by hand, and I wanted to rinse off as much salt as possible...

The reported issue may relate to one of the recalls, and an issue using other similar harnesses with the Putco Blade. There are threads where the taillight (running, NOT brake/turn) would deactivate, almost always on the driver side, when the Putco Blade was attached. - Apparently the...

Interestingly enough the filth looks almost like carbon, like you see from an EGR passthrough, and not dust/dirt. It's also located smack between the reinforcements, with nearly nothing along the edges. - Just find the pattern curious, and maybe it's rubber or diesel soot coming off other...

Not a step, however when our 14-15 year old black lab, who had previously suffered a partial tear to his ACL needed to go to the vet, I bought a harness that had grab handles on back side. This allowed me to help him get into the back seat, as he was no longer capable of jumping in. Getting...

Keep in mind the larger size means your odometer is under reporting the distance traveled. You'll need to adjust the miles by the circumference difference (percentage) to accurate calculate the mileage. Compared to the factory size of 225/65-17 (most non-Lariat Hybrids), the 235/65-17 is 1.8%...

The weatherstripping that came with my SyneticUSA was neoprene closed cell(?) type material. The compressible window sealing stuff that's an inch or so wide, and adhensive on one side would basically be the same stuff. Something like this: Weather Stripping The stuff you tried isn't for...

I'm with you LSchicago, don't know why but Gray, even Carbonized Gray just doesn't appeal to me. Exception is I'd buy white, especially like Space White (or Subaru's Frost/Pearlcoat slightly off-white), but shades of gray are a hard NO. I'm not that much a fan of most Silver car paint, as they...

Never heard a clicking noise with mine in over two years, and trust me, I would have noticed. (My wife claims my ears are bionic, I'll hear a rattle, tapping, and other noises in any vehicle.) I do occasionally hear the brake pads lightly scrape the rust off the rotors, as regenerative braking...

Also depends on the tonneau cover. The rolling covers, like my SyneticUSA, many times have the cannister lip bend and over the front bedrail, with double weatherstripping, and a cover over that, which also has another rubber strip that goes into the area between the glass and bed rail. BTW...

Good Choice! - If I hadn't gone Hybrid for the mileage, I was so going to order the Tremor package. My Ford A-Tech (Master-Tech) brother who rebuilds trannies for a living also strongly urged me to go with the Hybrid back in '21 when I originally ordered a '22.

If you pull the glovebox out, and reach back just left of the blower, it may be possible to retrieve the certificate. - That's about where the 'Dash Rattle' TSB tells them to insert the passenger side foam block. Once you're hand is in there, you can actually reach up to maybe 5-6" to the...

XM will occasionally 'skip' when under tree cover in bad weather, particularly around power lines which happens less with the Maverick than it did in my Outback. - There's a road I drive where the Outback struggled to play XM radio on a clear day, and the Maverick is just fine unless there's...

Yes, those two circled. There is also a sensor at each corner, barely perceivable in the photo. Covered, they'll like freak out, and sound the proximity tone, or that would be my guess. - It's only the sensors left & right of the hitch which would be the issue. (Guess two holes could be cut...

If you can find a sale, the SyneticUSA rolling cover is a solid choice. I've had mine over two years now, 99.9% drip free, with the only couple of drips where the tailgate meets the cover. (Not totally convinced this isn't drips when opening, or around the tailgate itself, even with the...

I've actually used the bumper to step up into the bed of mine, placing my food a hair away from the tailgate itself, and there was no issue. (I went *REALLY* easy applying my weight onto the bumper for fear it might crack, however it was fine....I'm a size 14/15 shoe and weigh in at maybe 250...

Doesn't the metal knob cover get hot in the sun? - While replacing some deck boards, I laid a my vice-grips down in the sun while cutting and installing the prior board, and they were really too hot to comfortably hold when picking them up, feeling hotter than the deck itself. Just curious, as...

The PE Plastic should clean a lot easier, and not be as prone to grabbing dirt/mud, however would they be more prone to transmitting noise? - The OEM 'felt' liners do have the benefit of providing some sound deadening, but at the cost of grabbing dirt, and being more difficult to clean...
