Here is probably what the minority of trucks do: sit 22.5 hours of the day, some at home and some at work. Dang birds

Our driveway, curb sidewalk, front walkway, and front steps were redone because of live oak root problems and sagging, cracking front steps (cast initially 34 years ago).
Our curbside brick mailbox had to be destroyed (the RFD box inside was never painted and was rusting away, too). So, here's a picture of my truck with ~1,000 lbs of palletized bricks inside. I bought 1,500 lbs but made two trips. I don't have a forklift at home to unload the pallets, and when you cut the plastic wrapping around the brick stays, the bricks can start falling down. Cutting open the plastic on a stack three stays high seemed like asking for trouble. Acme Brick told me they give themselves an allowance of 5% breakage. The first stay only had 128 bricks instead of 132 and two broken ones. Since I got a bunch of free samples, I can't complain too much.
Acme Brick no longer makes our house's "Old St. Louis" brick style (they closed the Garrison, TX plant that had the clay source). So, we chose a single brick color close to the burnt amber/burnt umber in our front door for the brick mailbox. As one of my daughters joked, it was a terrible First World problem to face up to.

Like that star-white or oxford-white color - same as mine & I have a matching star-white tonneau - brick less so farOur driveway, curb sidewalk, front walkway, and front steps were redone because of live oak root problems and sagging, cracking front steps (cast initially 34 years ago).

My truck color is Oxford White, waxed with Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax, leading a sheltered life in a garage, free from dirt and the sun's rays most of the time. Star White looks gorgeous, but Oxford White seemed simpler to care for and maintain long-term. I heard if you ding your truck and need to repaint a section, it's easier to color match with Oxford White.

That rubber bed-protect pad looks effective - does it ride quiet and do you like it?Lightning safety gear in a Lightning. Along with a couple of other things. Looked a bit messy, but was secure.
We love to see the F-150 Lightning at work! Messy or clean, it gets the job done right! Thanks for sharing.Lightning safety gear in a Lightning. Along with a couple of other things. Looked a bit messy, but was secure.

Yes, very protective and quiet. It's Rough Country brand, my only complaint, which would keep me from recommending it, is that it stinks very strongly like cigars or something, and for months! (Outside in the rain and all!) Can't imagine if I'd had it in a garage. After a year it's toned down, but yuck!
