  1. Creating "dog mode"

    That's a good plan. I can leave it attached to the sunshade, maybe.
  2. Creating "dog mode"

    That's a good point!
  3. Creating "dog mode"

    I wouldn't leave keys in the truck. Autostart gives me 15 minutes of secure run time. Truck won't move without the keys. Concerned passersby is a worry. That's why I'd darken or block the windows. I also thought of attaching a laminated note to the sunscreen like "AC on, temps monitored...
  4. Creating "dog mode"

    Oh, he gets a break, too! On long trips I stop every 60 to 90 minutes to let him walk, pee, etc. I just can't take him in most stores. I do worry about the what ifs. But there's danger just in him riding in the truck (accidents, etc). My goal is always to reduce risk.
  5. Creating "dog mode"

    Thanks for the feedback! And yeah, always grateful for the doggo!
  6. Running hybrid for hours as a power source, is it harmful to the engine?

    That's an interesting alternative. I've removed the need to store gas in my garage, so I was hesitant to buy a gas-powered generator. But I won't rule it out. Thanks for the info!
  7. Creating "dog mode"

    I suppose it is a risk. But so is my house burning down with the dog inside. I haven't read the stats, but I feel it's a comfortably low risk for the 5 to 15 minutes I'll be in the bathroom or store.
  8. Creating "dog mode"

    I've done that, too. But the risk of theft is much higher. I'm looking to avoid leaving the keys in the truck.
  9. Creating "dog mode"

    I've been working on a "dog mode" setup that will allow me to safely leave doggo in the truck for short periods of time on hot days. This is useful on long trips when visits to the bathroom and supply stops ate unavoidable. It'll also be nice to not have to go home in between trail walks and...
  10. Running hybrid for hours as a power source, is it harmful to the engine?

    Oh, great to know. Looks like I get to go shopping for another truck accessory! Thanks!
  11. Running hybrid for hours as a power source, is it harmful to the engine?

    Thanks! Believe it or not, I did read the manual. It was...a lot. And a looong time ago. Sadly, I didn't even think to check there for this answer.
  12. Running hybrid for hours as a power source, is it harmful to the engine?

    Would I damage anything by running my hybrid for hours as a power source? Say we had a power outage and I ran an extension cord from the truck bed outlet to my office for monitors, laptop, etc. I know the 400w inverter would be plenty of power. And in my non-technical mind the truck acts like a...
  13. Finally went on sale Prime Day- Mabett seat covers

    I remember seeing your post. I think that's what got me interested in them. They look awesome! I keep a seat protector in the back for the dog (the "dog taco"), but his short wirey hair still gets caught in the fabric seats. Plus it would be nice to not worry about a minor coffee spill up...
  14. Scheduled build in 2 days thanks to Tim Bartz at Long McArthur

    I live in NC. I believe it took 3 days from the day it left Kansas.
  15. Scheduled build in 2 days thanks to Tim Bartz at Long McArthur

    I bought from them and had it delivered (I really wanted to fly and drive but timing didn't work out). Great experience all around. Theirs is the only dealer magnet I've left on.
  16. Does Rotary Shifter suck?

    I'm good with it now. I kind of even like it (but like others, I wouldn't mind of the gear stops were a little more delineated). I did grab air a bunch of times when I first got it reaching for the stick shifter.
  17. Finally went on sale Prime Day- Mabett seat covers

    I didn't get the seat covers (really want the two-tone ones), but your post reminded me to check for the mud flaps and tailgate hole cover. Just ordered those...thanks!
  18. Dealer claim they put the standard spray in bed???

    There's no way they applied the exact same badging as Ford does at the factory. I really hope you get the build confirmed from Ford CS and drag this dealership. Adding fees is bad, but this is outright lying.
