Tried a similar (more expensive) product and wasn't satisfied with the way it mounted. You have to select one side to mount, or buy two mounting bases. Then you have, one or two, protrusions sticking up on your tailgate to interfere with loading/unloading. Ended up removing it and using this...
Don't know your budget for a cover, but have used DiamondBack covers my previous trucks, and found them to be extremely well made and useful. Probably the most secure cover available, and can take a good load on top as well. Might be assets that would be beneficial for your usage. Good luck...
Have only owned one Mav, but 3 CB5X, 2014, 2016 & 2019 which is best of bunch. For a brief period, had all 3 at the same time. Mav and CB5X work well together, both are all purpose, all road vehicles that are fun to drive/ride.
You might find this of interest. Spent a lot of time, money and physical effort developing the idea, and have over 100K miles using it on two different vehicles. Hope this is of some help, good luck with your endeavor. ~ hpdl (herr professor doktor lesmeister) š§
33,000 miles: Just replaced the OEM tires and thought I'd post an update. Have operated in 'Normal' mode for most of those miles.
ā¢ Transmission operating OK.
ā¢ Still don't like shifting with a rotary dial knob on the console!
ā¢ Found using the 'Towing' mode will allow for a bit more engine...

Dealer contacted me late yesterday with the news they were going need to replace my transmission. Could not give me any more info at this time, but would keep me informed about the progress of the changeout.

Donāt believe Iāve been unreasonable with any of my comments. Just canāt understand why service is not available at all Ford authorized dealerships. Is this our future, partial service dealers?
Be cause this was first run vehicle, got the premiere factory extended warranty in case extended...
First dealer, my local Ford dealer I use for service, could not provide transmission service as they did not currently have a factory certified tech on staff. This necessitated going to another location, quite bit farther away. And you are correct, they have backlog of work. Makes one pine...
