Only thing is in Arizona, if it is not garaged, the sun will eat it. I take it off if it is outside for more than a few days. Easy to do, and no trouble.
Good point. I was watching videos about it last night. It certainly is easy enough to take off and take inside. I also read about sealants for that cover that specifically talks about sun protection. Maybe that could help? It couldn't hurt. So many exciting options. I reached out to @Realtruck last night and he took care of me with special Maverick Truck Club pricing. If anyone is in the market for this cover shoot them an email.

Agreed.
I placed my order with @Realtruck on 7/5. It shipped the same day. It was delivered this morning and is waiting for me to get home and install it.

What are you doing to keep dust off of it? I'm in the desert too and it is a dust magnet.

I take it off if it is outside for any length of time, unless I am on a trip. I use a California duster to keep the dust off. In fact, I have had the truck for 7 weeks, and haven’t had to wash it. No rain, so just light dust. 52 mpg in town, 42 highway. If going to Show Low, up in the mountains, I still get 35 mpg.
I can clean it and come back a few minutes later and it will be dusty. I've learned to live with it but thought someone might have a trick

Hmmm. I live in Phoenix, and have no problem. Did you put protectant on it? That attracts dust. I drove to Pinetop last week and spent a week there and came back yesterday. No dust. By the way going from 1,000 feet high Phoenix to 8,400 feet high Greer and back, 42.5 mpg.
No just right out of the box

On another note I went through a big storm for the first time with it and it did pretty well.
Still leaked but my stuff was dry. Very heavy mountain downpour for an hour.

That's how the inside of my bed looks after a big storm with the gator. The side walls of the bed are wet, and a few of the channels close to the walls may have some water. But the center stays bone dry, so I bought a bungee cargo net to keep luggage and stuff centered in the bed on road trips.On another note I went through a big storm for the first time with it and it did pretty well.

It doesent rain more than 5 times a year here so mine is more for sun protection and to keep eyes of my work tools during the week.
Got my cover. Really excited. I just need the truck. HA!
