I carry a flashlight in the glove compartment and the numbers of Ford and USAA roadside assistance on my phone. :)

I did what it looks like the OP is going to do - get a Ford dealer installed cover. I got the soft rollup and really like it. It's vinyl, and, unlike a lot of the more expensive third party models, overlaps the edges of the top of the bed, which makes it less susceptible to leaking. Mine has...

When I bought my 'new 79 Chevy C10 single cab, 8' bed, it was cheaper than a nicely equipped family sedan or station wagon of that time. It was also a lot more utilitarian than my '19 F150 was.

My door stickers say GVWR 5180, payload 1359 so the curb weight is 3821 pounds. Is the 3751 the GVWR - payload, the true weight of your truck from the factory with fluids topped off, or from a spec sheet?

I picked up mine in the middle of April. It was built in March and has March Pennsy inspection stickers on it. Dealers around here normally order their cars with similar options pkgs and this one looked to be different, Lariat with 4K tow and azure grey as the only options. It may have been a...

I traded a Subaru Outback XT with similar specs that got 19-21 for my daily driving routines. My first tank with the Mav was 23.5 measured and the guess-o-meter for the second tank is now reading 26.4. Needless to say I'm happy with what I'm seeing.

I just got rid of a Subaru Outback XT with a big digital display screen with digital buttons for the climate control and infotainment system. I hated them.

Got it. Lie-o-meter is what I learned back when I had an F150 and posted on the F150forum.

I just got my first fillup, calculated mpg=23.49, lie-o-meter mpg=23.5, not bad. For info, I traded a Subaru XT with similar HP/torque specs for the Mav and it only got about 20 mpg average for the same driving routes.

I had a Truxedo X15 Pro on my F150 that was good. My Mav has the OEM Ford soft cover which I believe is also made by Truxedo. It's not up to the Pro X15 quality wise and sits a little higher but the one thing I like about it is that I can lower and raise the tailgate while leaving it locked in...

I had a pro x15 truxedo on my '19 F150. It didn't flap AFAIR. But, here's an anecdote. I washed it once and left a drying towel on the cover on the right side near the edge. The following morning I drove it in the dark about 7 miles to the grocery store at speeds up to 60. I was surprised to see...

I picked up a new '19 F150 XLT with the 3.5l twin turbo ecoboost motor and subscribed to the F150forum. It was loaded with threads about bad cam phasers, cooling systems, 10 speed transmission problems and more. I stayed with it and it turned out to be a great vehicle. Like others have said, a...

I have the Ford soft cover on my Maverick but I had the Pro X15 on my F150 and it was a head over heels better cover.

Mine has no tow hooks and 5 lugnut wheels. But Pennsy calls it a truck at registration time.

If you need to be night adapted quickly after stopping and don't want to mess with FORSCAN I can suggest an old Navy lookout trick. Close one eye about 3 minutes before you need darkness. It will be night adapted and will pull the one that was exposed to light to the night mode when you open it...

My dealer took an Amex partial payment of $2,500 with no charges or fees.

I just traded for a new Lariat a few days ago. I've bought a lot of new cars in my life and am a veteran of sales pitches at Raplh Williams Ford and Cal Worthington Dodge out in LA back in the roaring 1960s. So I haggled my best deal, trading a '23 Subie Outback, and negotiated an out-the-door...

Hi, I loved my '19 F150 but we're in our 80s and it started to get too big to fit into doctor's parking lots. Tried an Outback XT for a few months but momma didn't like it very much so I just traded it for a new Azure gray Lariat 2.0. It's getting a soft rollup tonneau cover installed and I pick...
