This is great work. I saw something similar on a Jeep Gladiator forum and I am planning to do the same. I just got (but have not installed) the TS rails, and was looking at configurations on TNUTZ. I was anticipating using corner braces to attach everything, but it looks like you had the...

Looks great. Where did you get these crossbars?

I like mine. The main draws for me were the sleek design, secure storage, and decent visibility when rolled up. The reason I got this over the Truxedo Sentry CT is that the tailgate can be closed with the cover already secured. If you just want to open the tailgate and throw something back...

Also, depending on your state, the sales tax basis on your new purchase may be reduced by value of the trade-in, which makes the dealer more competitive. Not true in CA, but it may be in your state.

I've heard some sketchy stories about Carvana not handling title transfers properly, probably more of a buyers concern, but Carmax seems like they have it all together. In my case, Carmax offered more than Carvana, but my dealer was able to beat Carmax's offer by another $1,000. Givemethevin...

Mine only took 2 weeks from built to delivered (I'm in LA). It will depend on your ship date, and whether the truck gets held for a while at different railyards. I probably got a bit lucky, but you could feasibly see your truck by the end of the month.

In California, many dealers including Carmax are still offering over the original sticker price on Maverick trade-ins, even for ecoboosts.

I'm leaning toward the ExtraCare, 8 years 100k, $50 deductible. Granger and Zeigler look the same after the discount code. Both are quoting $965. I figure at 5 years past the original warranty, I might have occasion to use the ESP about 5 times. That would effectively cost $243 ($193 + 50)...

You may have hit the brake hold button (next to the auto start-stop button)

I picked mine up last night. Finally here after 473 days! Great dealer experience. No surprises. They had my private offer loaded and ready when I got there. My trip into work this morning registered 37.5 mpg (20 miles, 70% hwy, slight incline). My trip home registered 55.6 mpg (same route...

And there it is:

They gave me this: Convoy # 5176161 (Hansen And Adkins Auto Transport ). I haven't found a way to track it, but for now just taking it as a sign the truck will arrive at the dealer today or tomorrow.

It's also helpful to watch the Ford Tracker site to see the "Last Updated" date. I found that this would change anytime there was new info available. For instance, my truck as been sitting in the rail yard since Friday 2/3. Today I saw the tracker now says: So I contacted Ford Chat and...

Ford chat can get you the last known location. Piecing that together with the UP estimated arrival was the best I could do.

I could never properly understand the origin ramp, but is was “____ Industrial”. Sounded like cue-tah or few-tah industrial. The UP system kinda sucks.

I believe my railcar has arrived at its destination. My UP. update says: “Loaded Actual Placement”. UP never tells me where the truck is, but Ford Chat says it’s in Mira Loma, which is about 30 miles from my dealer. Hopefully the truck gets offloaded and delivered soon.

You need to speak really clearly for UP. I also have a TTGX. She understands me about half the time. Entering just the number didn’t work for me.

I would love some factory roof rails.

It also helps them to increase the price gradually throughout the year, so the 2024 price bump doesn't look as big.

I got my railcar # too, and from the UP tracking service it sounds like it is due to reach its destination tomorrow afternoon (!?). Not sure how long it takes to transfer from rail to dealer, but I'm happy it's moving.
