I would buy another in a heartbeat. It may be the best "car" I've owned, at least as good as the Chevies (2), VWs (2) and Volvos (4) I have bought new. Plus it does truck things. 2025 Hybrid AWD XLT.

Great advice, and had I heard it earlier it would have saved me a small dent. Live and learn.

I used a straight mount, but if I ever do it again, I'll get a drop. The front of the trailer was a little higher than I would have liked. You are probably right about the weight. There were some heavy bins in the trailer (books and fabrics, which were surprisingly heavy) but it wasn't...

For an additional data point (and unrelated to campers and such) I just finished a 1000 mile trip towing a loaded U-Haul 5x8 trailer with no issues. My route took me from Athens, GA to Vermont via I-85, I-77, I-81, I-78, I-287 and I-87. Those roads have some pretty steep hills (especially I-77...

And in my experience you can't rely on acc/ign-only connections to turn off either, at least not immediately. I have gotten to where I turn off my dashcam manually when I am back home because, if it does eventually turn off, it takes a long time (as in hours.) I am connected through the fuse...

In Florida, if you live near water there are black rats that live in the palm trees. Literally tree rats. I had two injector wires chewed through on my Audi TT while I was out of town. People kill snakes, which eat rats. I dunno. Also I have 5 indoor cats here in Vermont and we get the...

Thanks, good information which confirms what I had expected. That fuse box is a tight space to work in and I agree that wires coming off the top rather than the side would help. Still, my camera on fuse 3 does not turn off. I unplugged it at the camera and it stays on for about 5 seconds then...

Thanks to all who replied. If it ever stops raining I'm going out to the truck to do some more testing. If I find anything enlightening I'll report back.

Thanks, I have seen these, but I already had a fuse tap. Also, I was very careful about routing wires through the side pillar per the videos. Other than dropping the original fuse (now lost forever, I'm afraid) the installation was pretty straightforward. Well, that and the power seems to always...

I installed a dashcam (Miofive S1) in my 2025 XLT AWD Hybrid and it works fine with one small problem. I wired it to fuse 20 (unused according to the manual) and it's got power all of the time. I forget to turn the dashcam off most of the time, so I thought I'd use a fuse that only has accessory...

Pretty close to what I paid for mine in VT in January (no special pricing.)

I got my 2025 Hybrid AWD XLT in January, which replaced a 2016 VW Golf Sportwagen. My rate went from $533.55/6 months to $379.68. I asked the agent and he said "newer cars are safer". State Farm, who also do my homeowners (Vermont). I am 71, wife is 65, both with clean records, retired, no...

Yes, my impression is that the tailgate is the weak point for weather sealing. I don't think this particular top is unique in that respect.

I was just about to write a review! I installed mine yesterday and like you said, it couldn't be much easier. It came earlier this week and I had been waiting for a break in the weather. The box was damaged (FedEx) and I sent them pictures, but the top itself was fine. All parts included. The...

Added pictures to original post.

I bow to peer pressure and added pictures. :)

Thanks, I've actually been around here since I ordered the trucklet in August. Our salesman was Sean Lloyd, but everyone there has been really good. It's fun living in a small town where everyone knows everyone else. We had to call the insurance agent during the closing and he knew Sean's...

I definitely see that in my future. :)

And for anyone in the area, the experience with Oliver Ford here was positive. They offered an extended warranty, which I declined with no argument or hard sell. No egregious additional charges and they seem like great folks.

Pictures will come. The blue is really pretty, though. I did go up a pretty steep hill or two on the way home (hard to avoid them here in Vermont) but probably not a real test of the AWD. I need to get it off the plowed and salted paved roads to really tell. It is comfortable and feels...
