12mm or 14mm is just the thread pitch of the studs. The head of the nut doesn't matter as long as it's the same type of seat as the wheel (acorn, etc.).

Just about any of the tri-folds will be easy to install/remove but none of them will help hold down your load because they all (as far as I know) can only be secured either fully closed or in the 2/3 open or fully propped up position. The closest thing, functionally, to what you described would...

Check pricing on Jeraco caps. I believe they are less expensive than ARE and the quality is comparable. We used to be a dealer for them before I sold my shop.

If this was my truck, I'd have a conversation with the sales manager about trading it in for a new or used EB model. Nothing against hybrids in general, but it looks like reliability on the Maverick hybrid is a hit or miss proposition. With the problems you identified, you'll probably do better...

I'd recommend just living with the fluttering until you can replace it. As a former tonneau cover dealer, the only tonneau cover any of our customers reported stolen was a trifold the customer left open. Loosen two wingnuts and the cover is gone. At least if it's closed, the locked tailgate...

OK, I'm going to pretend to be a conniving dealer. Here is how South Carolina defines a closing fee (in italics) and my conniving dealer comments (in blue) : The only items that can be included in a closing fee are (in italics): 1. all administrative expenses, costs, staff, supplies...

When you look at what the state includes in the allowable contents of a closing fee, there's a bunch of administrative costs that the dealer would probably claim go beyond the documents related to the purchase paperwork. Not saying I agree with the tactic but I doubt Ford would choose to fight...

Google is your friend... https://consumer.sc.gov/sites/consumer/files/Documents/Business Resources Laws/Regulatory/Registered Creditors/Dealer Closing Fee/MVNoticeofClosingFeeAddendum.pdf Ford can only limit the document fee under X plan. Other fees that the state considers reasonable can be...

Took delivery 10/21/21. Currently at around 12,900 miles,

The truck still senses the change in current draw and thinks a trailer is connected. Staying independent of the tow wiring eliminates that problem.

My sister-in-law got me this one for Christmas. I'll put it on when the weather warms up. https://www.grillie.com/collections/military/products/u-s-navy?variant=52659937732

You will get a better answer if you call them directly. Trying to get a prepaid entry discounted at the show will be difficult given how busy they are on show days.

Sorry, but I don't see a problem with not qualifying for a discount based on service 50 years ago. I'm perfectly OK with recent veterans getting one that I don't.

I think you're assuming way too much. We understand the terms just fine; we just don't consider it something owed to us, so being excluded from the terms just isn't an issue. I'm Vietnam-era Navy and got to come home in one piece, save some hearing loss from the ships guns. I also got to...

State dealer franchise laws pretty effectively block manufacturers from holding dealers accountable for poor business practices. You could have the same experience at any brand of dealership. In fact, there are at least a couple of GM dealers in my area that have similar reputations to your Ford...

I don't really get posts like this, other than that I agree you have a right to be ticked off at the dealer. It sounds like Ford is trying to help you with information, yet it is their reputation, not the dealers, that you will trash. Why? By all means hold the dealer accountable, but make sure...

Until the lease expires and you buy out the residual, you don't technically own the vehicle so I suggest doing two things: 1. Verify that you can buy the ESP for a vehicle owned by the leasing company and have it become yours along with the truck when you buy it out or that you will be able to...

Both covers sit flush with the bed rails by design so they should be equally low profile. Water resistance typically comes down to seals. For the Undercover, we used to add a layer of weatherstripping at the bulkhead between the bed rails to fill the bulkhead rail gap caused by the thickness...

Until I sold my business in 2021, I was a dealer for both products. We typically recommended the Ultra Flex or Armor Flex over the MX4 for two reasons. 1. The prop rod setup on the Undercover models always seemed more positive to me. I didn't like the adjustable nature of the MX4 because it...

The dealer can charge any add-ons they want, even on an ordered vehicle. You can try to get them removed, but the dealer can refuse to sell you the truck, if they are so inclined. Until you complete the purchase, it's their truck. Hopefully your dealer won't play those games. If they do, you can...
