Do a bedliner+ bed mat. Best combination.
The liner protects your truck, the rug protects the load. It allows for sliding things in and out with out dragging them on 20 grit sandpaper. It also makes things less slidey and rattley when driving.
You can find cheaper versions online if the price...
If you're getting tires at Costco (which i recommend) they have alternating tire sales. So if your Michelin is on sale now, wait till the end of the sale period and Bridgestone will go on sale.
Never used it. I barely listen to radio anway so it never came up.
I've always been kinda surprised car companies continue to put it in. I think satellite would be great as an add on module, but the preinstalled hardware in loads of cars can't be cheap.
Just called Ford.
Turns out I have a VIN!

I can't tell if that sawtooth is sitting above the spare or if it is pressing into it hard.
Either way i wouldn't say it "fits"
I guess you could bend the sawtooth back a bit, but I'd still be concerned
Before you walk into a dealer, look up reviews and experiences about ADM. Do this even if the dealer is your uncle who you trust.
Lots of people got surprised and screwed by "trustworthy" dealers who have "always treated them right."
Keep an eye out for other brands/types that have the same spacing, especially with used ones.
Sometimes these websites arent up to date and they haven't figured out the full compatibility.
I picked up some Volvo wheels which should be good on the Mav.

Cars are deeply deeply tied to identity and are one of the biggest and most visible displays of status. America is a car culture and that is deeply tied to identity, status, competition and relationship attractiveness.
Some people see it as an object they have while other see it as part of...
Same here. Just got the email.

Oh boy. It's been so long since I thought anything beyond "not here yet" i had to go look up what my color was....
The market is cooling down, but gas is still expensive, cars are hard to find and plenty of buyers are fed up with ADM's.
I'm pretty sure dealers promising a no ADM are gonna see a significant amount of orders.
I would be surprised if they don't hit 100k by EOY, especially with 20-30k orders...
Yeah that is the problem.
Ford's business model is very old school. It is focused on making sense for the dealers as they narrow mindedly focus their business on them. The old manufacturer philosophy was build things for the sales team, and the customers will come. Customers were an...
Huh, this actually makes sense. I don't agree with the business goals of it, but I see how this would make sense in Ford's old school business fashion.
I think Ford really needs to go higher when designing things like this. Focusing on the how often doesn't answer the why. It seems their Why is...
It seems most car companies go through a cycle.
Slow down and build the same car for a while with great reliability
Realize you are far behind the pack
"Innovate" and build a bunch of crap
Attempt to fix the crap for a few years
Redesign everything based on reliability
Rinse
Repeat

I have torque and I love it. With all the digital stuff you think they would let you customize.
On my project car I had a tablet with torque that had all the proper gauges. I was out for a drive and was able to see a non-standard gauge go into the red. Dropped speed till i got home and saved...
