Please consider adding Laplata, MD to title....and any others with items for sale - saves time for us "scrollers". Thanks.

Two thoughts: One rock, twenty seconds, running truck. I would not post where my spare key is on this insecure forum. On the other hand, many an old school feller such as myself has been glad to have wired a key to the undercarriage of his car. We had a mini Schnauzer in years past who locked...

Yes, that is how I shut it down. My Maverick is the "switchblade" key. :)

I totally dislike the auto stop and brake functions on my truck, but for those who need or want to leave the truck parked with the brake on.... beware of wet conditions. I have had the brakes freeze when parked (and even rust once when on vacation with a Honda due to airport parking) and getting...

That seems a little spendy to me, but then, "in the old days", mine was free when I bought the truck. However, in Ford's defense, it is obvious from the questions on this site that very few people read the manual. :)

This setup has some advantages over the top photo, IMHO. Keep that front wheel jammed into a corner, and the back tire as close to the outside of the gate as possible. I have seen a LOT of bent tail gates from loading up the middle. I just put together an Amazon 2" receiver carrier rated at...

I have gone to an ebay Garmin model - an older one that came with lifetime free upgrades. Have not hooked it up yet, but it is on the agenda. Meanwhile, my wife changed out phone plan so she has unlimited data, so when we are together, we just use that. I was a little let down to run into...

Beware that if your phone plan has limited data, using it for navigation will gobble up that data.

Apologies - my bad, you are entirely correct. Somehow I started the thread with post #2, and missed that. Good luck with your project.

Might I suggest that your original post should have included the information you later provided: "A trailer would be a great option however I am already flat towing my Maverick four wheels down behind my RV"

If you need it only once a year, wouldn't it be less expensive to rent a small U haul??? or do you have a long term need?

My one piece of advice? Don't post your "three month" evaluation, or ask newbie questions without first doing a search. Not trying to be snitty here, you'll understand if you use this forum for long.

Here is a possibility. Call the local H S football coach. Ask for him to contact two buff players to call you if they would like half a day's work. (Lower income family a bonus) Agree ahead on the rate. Rent a you haul and dolly. Get the whole thing done in half a day, stack it all in the...

I am sure not trying to knock a product that I have no experience with, but it "appears" to me that rain water blowing back along the bed cover would be channeled down INSIDE the tailgate rather than blowing over it. No? I am guessing that it has no positive effect on aerodynamics, but some...

When in Baja, we take salt deposits out of our motors and aluminum boats with products like Salt Away, but many say Dawn dish soap works just as well. (It is what I use.) Amazon has inexpensive dispensers that go on a garden hose and meter in the soap, and lets you rinse without turning off the...

I am not sure that it is fair to call his use "careless ignorance". It's a truck, a tool. I once opened a can with a single bladed pocket knife, and do not expect to go to hell for that. (Emphasis "that", LOL)

No, that is what I mean, though I SHOULD have written solar SYSTEM backup. "Camper shell" in pic to the left has a large solar panel on the roof, and two Lifepo4 batteries that can power the frig. Apologies for any confusion.

Having had both types, the Coleman I had with the non-compessor technology was nowhere near as good as the replacement WITH a 12v compressor. The latter will keep frozen good frozen for days. I have a solar backup to keep it running at night, and use the in-bed circuit when the truck is running.

Since oil is refined "used dinosaurs", dating is a non starter. I would say that if you bought 200,000 miles worth of oil changes, the last and first jug off the shelf would be the same. As to Motorcraft oil, they buy it somewhere and make a profit - you can too, skipping the profit. Sales...

Thanks for the post. Much better to have "real" data than anecdotal data: "My grandpa used grape seed oil and bacon fat in his Model A and never had a problem", LOL.
