Hitting the road with my son for spring break. Doing some fishing. Couple nights in hotels in west and Central Texas. Swinging back by Wednesday for camping gear for a few nights (hence the extra space).
Loading it up worked out great. Truxedo Pro X15, Truxedo TS Rails, TMS cross bars...
So hear me out. I rarely have someone in the rear center. To the point of can't remember the last time I've had a passenger there. But I roll the windows down a lot right now with nice weather in Houston.
When driving with the rear windows down, I find the rear center seat belt which stays...
Installed the TMS bed crossbars this weekend. They went into the Tuxedo TS Rail t slots. Not as high as the Elevate rack. I may fab up some risers to clear the roof line.
I like that they are high enough to see under. Also my soft roll up will roll under the rails. I could adjust them lower...
Just wanted to say thanks to the forum! This place has helped me save hundreds, if not thousands on my truck. I learned about the Farm Bureau discount, Flood Warranty, and the Flood Warranty price increase tomorrow here. That's a minimum of $600 savings, and possibly more depending on the deal I...
So I have the Lariat with Navigation. The navigation screen shows the speed limit sign. I know the truck has the ability for Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) it's just off in instrument cluster.
So my question is what is this speed based on? Is it TSR, or the speed preloaded in the map (or...
So Monday I picked up the new ride. Really enjoying it so far. Odometer read 13 miles, it's at 270 now. Had some mods to knock out right away.
-Toff Liner bed liner yesterday. Good quality, good price.
-My wife and son wanted the tailgate assist, so got the Deezee. The bottom plate/nut is a...
So picked up my baby last night. Super happy. I had bought Smartliner front and back mats already so I'd have on hand in order to protect the carpet right away (They fit in awesome BTW, happy with them).
As I was putting in the Smartliners this morning, I realized the front already had...
So picked up my Maverick last night. I had taken the bedliner off due to previous constraints. By the time we heard it wasn't a constraint anymore, mine was already scheduled. Dealer pitched the liner they use, Toff Liners. Apparently based out of Dallas area. I declined from dealer, but...
So I sit down after a busy Saturday afternoon with a cold beer and a book to relax. Figure I'll check the Ford tracker for any updates.
Holy cow, it's in final prep! I call the salesman to see if they can get it done today. I'm supposed to be gone most of the day Monday and really don't want it...
I know I'll get called a fanboy by some. Others may be upset that a '23 order is built ahead of '22. But with so many complaints, sometimes is nice to share the positive.
Overall I'm pretty happy so far with the process. Sure things could go off the rails still but so far so good. Through...
Looking at a few different options for bed racks. Thinking of using the TS Rails from Truxedo as the mounting point. Then had my eye on the Rhino Rack Vortex or Heavy Duty bar system. The quick release mounts would be convenient.
Which brings me to my question, what length cross bar is right...
So the memo about the combo of bedliner and bed rails made me interested. What is the cost to do myself? I am scheduled so adding isn't working. Line-x Katy (near Houston) is $500 standard, $550 premium. Dealer is $595 through them.
Would be nice for $500 with free bed cargo Management system...
Walking out of the hotel in Missoula, MT, and at the hotel check in drive aisle is an all-wheel drive Maverick. Doing a walk around on it and the owner comes out. Ask him how he likes it, he says it's a company truck. He says it's doing great in the snow and enough headroom for a tall guy. He...
So I am curious, and this may kick a hornet's nest. But it qualitatively speaking it seems like there are more issues with the hybrids than the ecoboosts. Its to the point where I find myself reading posts and saying "thank goodness I didn't order a hybrid". But this could also be selective...
Was wanting to get a sense for the models of tonneau that have the slots for a rack. I know Truxedo has a few. But overall not an easy feature to filter out. Hoping to get a tonneau with the slots, thinking a rack for bikes or kayak would be useful.
Put my '23 order in. Didn't get the bed liner and bed tie down system. Was hoping to avoid the liner constraint. And didn't want the rails in place before I do an aftermarket bed liner.
I know there is a video for a DIY rail system which looks decent. Also a number of aftermarket systems. But...
So I just got the order in for my '23 with FX4. It will come with the 225/65/r17 Pirelli Scorpion ATR. I had asked for the 235/65/r17 upgrade to Falken Wildpeak, but dealer got confused. Debating if I get with them now to update.
General reviews for the Pirellis tire are mixed. Decent for hard...
So, how many orders (percentage wise) do people guess are multiples for flipping or to see what comes in first? I keep seeing it post, and find it aggregating to be honest. While I know it's allowed so fair game, it seems to be part of the problem in why we are having issues getting these things...
So my dealer has been good so far. Got the build sheet with the order number, signed and returned. So my understanding is that is in Ford's computer. I got a random email from Ford, but have not seen an email confirmation from Ford others are sharing. Doesn't his mean they haven't finalized, or...
