My 2026 Lariat has rubber flaps. Did the earlier model years have nothing to divert debris? Or are these screens for working in front of the rubber flaps?
I am sort of in the same boat as you. I was spoiled by my Gator tri-fold cover on my F-150 that I had for six years. I had to add weather stripping on the front and the side rails on the truck bed, but the cover sat on top of the bed rails and it did not leak.
I purchased a MX4 low profile...
I think the 2026's have a different exhaust as my Lariat is noisy. Ford came up with an extra 15 HP in advertised power over the 2025 models. I am wondering if they did a short cut in the exhaust department to get some if not all of the extra ponies.
I noticed you have the 2024 which I would be happier with myself than my 2026 due to the infotainment system containing almost everything. The 2025 & 2026 has all of the HVAC controls. I find myself spending too much time with my eyes off the road trying to set the temperature on a screen that...
And then there is us older folks who had vehicles before A/C was standard. Windows were always down when travelling, and engine noise was very desirable. Those V-8's were much less annoying than 4 and 6 bangers. If the exhaust system had droning, you couldn't hear it.
I find the Ford version very annoying when compared to my 2023 Chevy Equinox. My Equinox will gently nudge me back over and is not concerned about being exactly centered in my lane. I like to favor the shoulder side of the lane and my Equinox does not mind me doing so. The Ford version is...
On my 2026 2.0 Lariat, my rear exhaust droned so much in the rear of the cab. In my ear's opinion anyway. When my son rode with me for the first time and also thought it was annoying, I knew I had to do something. I did not eliminate it, but knocked it down a lot so I hear more tire noise than...
I can't wait until you do your first oil change. I am hoping that you come up with a better under body shield to make your own oil and filter changes faster than having to remove all of those silly hardware items on the OEM so-called cover. What benefits you will benefit the rest of us.
You could add a rear fender decal as shown in my avatar to the left. I purchased it on Etsy. The slash marks are available in multiple colors including red. I am trying to add blue to my Carbonized Grey Mettallic. I have blue decals to apply to the lower doors from Etsy, and eventually I...
Hopefully your 2026 2.0's exhaust is loud inside the cab like mine is on my 2026 Lariat 2.0. If so, maybe you can come up with something better for us old, retired folks.

Looking forward to what goodies you come up with. I have been adding a lot of stuff to mine so far to make it mine.
My 2019 F-150 did not have any teeth and was not impressed when I was under the truck adding Mabett underbody cover. My thoughts are to grind the teeth down to nubbings and add a slit rubber hose over them IF I attempt a full size 19" spare. Just finished installing sound deadener in the back...
Any chance you can tell us Lariat owners which 19" wheel did you get? I learned from my F-150 days that Ford usually has a different offset than most aftermarket wheels.
Wish I could say that I have not had to change a tire in 20 years. I had a Chevy Malibu that had a freakish suspension spring failure years ago in which the spring broke and made contact with the tire. The spring was a factory defect that was covered under warranty, but it happened on a...
Google can't give me an easy answer if my 26 Lariat can have a full size 19" tire and wheel as a spare. Keeps pointing me back to the posts around here discussing 17" wheels. I am guessing a 19" is a no go. Would be great to have on a road trip into the Rockies.
A couple of years ago, an empty 5 gallon pail blew out of the truck ahead of me when doing 70 mph. I had a F-150 with more clearance than a Maverick. The pail went underneath my truck and damaged the fiber cover underneath the F-150. I was lucky as the plastic engine oil drain plug and the...
I guess sound deadener is more appropriate than calling it a skid plate. I am still debating about swapping it out for a Rival skid plate for easier access but they are very pricey. Surprised that Mabett has not come up with something lighter/cheaper with access openings for drain and filter...
I have it and will eventually plan on using it with my 4.5' X 8' aluminum utility trailer. I occasionally find myself hitting the button instead of the start button as that is approximately where my Chevy Equinox start button is. The Tow Package with the Trailer Assist will help with resale...
