Thanks. I'll check those out next purchase. I have a few different gauges and I use them to cross-check each other periodically to make sure they are close enough to each other.
I use Milton S-921 Pencil Tire Pressure Gauge for pressure and Newkita Tire Tread Depth Gauge, 2 Pack for tread wear. Both from Amazon-- Milton for around $12 and Newkita for about $4.
I bought some knockoff water barriers from Amazon for $15.99 and installed them months ago. So I didn't have a problem in the first place and will never really know if they prevented it, but I sure don't have an accumulation of leaves and other debris that was happening before I put them in...
I use peppermint oil + eucalyptus w/water in a spray bottle. In the past I've had mice nest in my old, old, toyota and honda civic living on top of a mountain. Now I have the Maverick and a CRV on top of the mountain and spray them under the hood (firewall; vent areas) and inside (cabing filter...
I bought the Rough Country TA off Amazon and an alternate tailgate tiedown because the stock bottle opener on the TA side has to be removed. The alt tiedown I bought: Forccord Tailgate tie-Down Anchor Bed Cleat. But there are plenty of brands for the tiedown on Amazon and Ebay. I like the TA...
Similar experience. I live on a mountain. Into town is all downhill and when I park at the grocery store, I get similar mileage. Whoo hoo! Same trip back is all uphill and when I park at home, mileage is more along the 27 - 30ish range. When the trip in is average with the trip home, I end up...
There are a lot of threads on the forum re: tonneau covers. I bought a tri-fold hard cover in January 2025 and am pretty happy with it. The brand is XTWEEX on Amazon, currently about $396. It's strong enough to support me standing on it and hasn't leaked into the bed. I believe it helps with gas...
Whatever works. My truck sits in the driveway in the country and mice are always looking for a new nesting place, so not so much for me (no offense). I routinely check the cabin filter, spray the firewall and other intake areas with mint/eucalyptus mixed with water and witch hazel to keep the...
I bought a cheap pair of protectors off Amazon. They seem to work OK. Originally I felt like I might put a little heat gun to them to help flext them into shape because they were a little curved. Now that Fall is here and leaves are around I'm going to open up the wheel guards and confirm...
I put in after-market seat covers all the way around in my 2025 XL hybrid. Not sure about the rear seat, but the front seat covers came with small lumbar supports built in and are pretty comfortable. I got the covers primarily because they're a lot easier to clean. No idea of their lifespan, but...
Not exactly the answer to your question, but I went with Line-X spray liner (not super cheap) AND later added an Amazon (AOMSAZTO) after-market drop-in liner on top. The liner was about 10 bucks cheaper when I bought it than it's showing now. Maybe overkill, but it's not the easiest to keep the...
I bought a used, full-size rim off ebay and an OEM matching tire from Walmart and swapped out the OEM spare with the full-size. Could've also just bought a good, used tire. From what I've read online, the OEM spare speed tops out at 50mph. Didn't want to be on the road in the middle of nowhere...
I have the XTWEEX (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5CWLBT4?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1) from Amazon since Jan 2025. Looks like the same item. Happy with it. It is true that the one panel at the head of the bed will always be lying down over part of the truck bed, where some...
I put an XTWEEX hard tri-fold on my 2025 XL Hybrid. I'm pretty happy with it. Supports a grown man standing on it and has been waterproof sitting in the driveway and on the road. And I'm pretty sure the cover improved my mileage.
