Quick question …. 2023 Maverick Lariat Hybrid looking for a good truck cover recommendation for bad weather since the truck will sit outside. Also, will the roof top antenna be an issue with a truck cover? Picked up the truck last week and absolutely love it!! Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

If the antenna is an issue, simply unscrew it before storing the truck. Or get a stubby antenna to replace it. Be aware this may degrade radio reception.

If you want to protect your investment buy a car capsule that is rated for out door use. They are beige in color and you cannot see what is in the bubble. I have been using one for 6 years now to protect my race car and it works perfectly for the bad weather we get in Canada. Runs on two small computer fans that inflate the bubble and constantly turn the air over in the bubble so no condensation plus no rats or mice chewing on your wiring harness. They make them in different sizes and I would not hesitate to get another one in a heart beat.

Wow, I never even knew they existed. What a unique idea. Do the fans run on a battery or do you have to plug them in? How much does something like that cost and are they easy to find?

They are 120 volt plug in and they come with a power pack that just plugs into the fans nice and easy. They are made in the USA and you can order direct from Car Capsule. Your timing is very good as I am sure they will have some Black Friday deals for sure.
Forgot to mention no problem for your antenna it will not hit the roof. Where the fans mount on the front of the capsule there is a small slit that I bring a power cord in so I can plug in the fans and I use a battery tender as well to keep everything happy. You will not be disappointed.
