Thanks for the explanation, however I did mistake the condition. On my XL the tailgate seems to be correctly aligned to the bed, however I did not put a level on it to check.
Great looking set up, clean and classy looking. The VB sure looks good.Got set to go fishing tomorrow.
Oh man, you're stressing the trucklet outHauled some solid wood cabinets for my garage (scored them at the local Habitat for Humanity Restore for a song).
(The forward strap was just to keep the cardboard that we used to protect the cab window as we loaded, that ended up firmly wedged and unremovable, from flapping against the cab on the drive home.)
Didi you get that done at a dealership?
Sorry, for some reason I haven't been getting emailed or notifications on this thread... That is helpful I will see if I can get mine cleaned up before our meet-up this weekendSee if these help MavDave. The hardest part is fishing the wires and connectors thru the hole to where you can grab and pull them down. Put it can be done.
I LOOOVE my new bed cover!
Great story and truly a great experience for everyone. I'm finding that those who are active on this club are more informed than most salespersons, albeit, they have more than one vehicle to study. One little reminder . . . There are no 4WD Mavericks. Either FWD or AWD. The all-wheel drive is different from 4WD which I'm not going to go into detail here.Went to pay storage and stop by the dollar store to pick up a couple of things. I park at the end of the store on the South Side because there is rarely anyone parking on that end and I can fudge in a no parking corner. That way no one can throw their door open and ding my XL.
Anyway, as I came out there was a guy looking at my truck and wanted to talk about it. He had a White Gladiator which he said he bought because it was a smaller truck with 4WD. He asked about 4WD on the Maverick so I told him there was a 4WD package on each of the four trim levels and the newest trim was a Tremor package. He inquired about cost and I told him the approximate MSRP for each trim with 4WD. He couldn't believe it because he paid around 52k for his Gladiator.
As we were talking a guy got out of an old 22 year old Chevy Silverado and saw us talking so he came over to ask about the Maverick. Just after the Chevy guy came over, a guy pulled driving a Ram and he got out and came over just as I was finishing the conversation with the Jeep guy who was headed home to get on the MTC and check into out the Tremor and other 4WD Mavericks.
The two remaining guys had lots of questions about the Maverick. The Ram guy was interested in the Lariat or Tremor, and the Chevy guy was interested in the XL. The Chevy guy noticed I didn't have cruise and he asked about it, so I told him the 2023 XL was going to have cruise. Anyway, we had some good truck talk with three good ol' East Texas country boys and I enjoyed it tremendously. You have to appreciate the reaction of people seeing their first Maverick, at least I do.
When I installed mine I followed the instructions for the F-150...
Where does the weather strip goes? In what direction?
I figured it should be somewhat close. There are 2 aeras I would have done differently now that I see how they are wearing but they seem to do a good job no leaks around the tailgate
