I also put the rough country tri fold soft top over the bed. You can’t beat them for the price. They also have an excellent warranty and keep the rain out. I also have one on my F250 that has served me very well.
I agree with you 100%. At first, I was hesitant about a drop in bed liner, but after getting our Maverick I was extremely happy with its quality and fit. If you are waiting for your maverick with this option, don’t stress, you will like it.
