@tbell_1 - I can't speak to the folding covers from experience, but my new RetraxPro locks in any position. I really like that feature. I too have the short bed but haven't experienced much loss of bed length, as pointed out earlier by @PungoteagueDave, but that's a function of what you're...

@adder1221 - These look DRAMATICALLY better than the stock tires. I am thinking of getting KO2’s as well. A couple of questions: Q1: What is your opinion on noise and ride quality? Q2: Aren’t 275/60R20’s the same size as the stock tires? (These look bigger!) Q3: What size level did you...

Yes! That’s the reason those folks in Texas were able to power their homes during last winter’s massive power outages. I used it on Saturday to program my coffee maker set it to brew espresso shots for my softball team between morning playoff games. It was on for ~2 hours with tailgate and...

@Acob720 - Ugh. That is just brutal. Sorry to hear it. I ordered a RetraxPro and was frustrated that it took 5 weeks.

How do you do so?

I saw this last night. Their max tow 6.2 Sierra was towing 7,000 lbs, about 2,400 less than the max tow PowerBoost F-150 had been pulling, but ran into a similar overheating issue at 9,000 ft. At that altitude, based on the feedback from Ford's engineers, the F-150 should have been able to...

@R32GT-R - I have a Platinum (received about 5 weeks ago; built in Dearborn) and find it far superior to the Explorer I'd been driving. Larger screen, higher resolution, clearer and more life-like. I use the cameras daily in order to shoe-horn the truck into my garage and am very pleased...

I agree 100%, @Heavishot. Great advice. Coincidentally, the highspots I had were near the tailgate and hard to reach areas within my (now) cramped garage, something I also had to finish up at night and inside due to rain. :rolleyes:

Given that it’s a new car, you probably don’t need it. If you have any ‘dealer-installed’ swirl marks that will bug you, it may be worthwhile but probably not. Personal preference. FWIW - The orbital polishers are pretty safe on your paint and easy to use but can get pretty expensive (my...

@Lpetters84 - THAT IS IMPRESSIVE! IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU’VE GOTVTHE DETAILING BUG. THERE’S NO BETTER TIME TO START PROTECTING YOUR FINISH THAN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NEW AND PRISTINE. WELL DONE. IN RESPONSE TO YOUR QUESTIONS: 1- did you apply the coating over FX4 decal? YES. UNLESS YOU ARE...

Fail. I tried to use Ford Play but it turns out to be an app for projecting from a phone to a seatback tablet device. Oh well. ?

@Jpmpr33 - There is an App called ‘Ford Play’ which appears to do what you are looking for. Apparently, it can broadcast either to or from another device. I happened to download it yesterday but haven’t had a chance to use it. I will try later today and send you a report-out.

@xtraman122 - I share your observations to a tee and will add one more that I have noticed - On rainy nights with faded lane stripes, it sometimes does not find the center of the lane and will drift. This system is perhaps my favorite feature on this new truck. I drove ~800 miles from NC to...

@longbow42 - Wow - scary! ‘Glad you are OK. And it’s a good thing that you had your hands on the wheel instead of some 2.5 lb ankle weight. @mnstang - I have a Platty as well. Yes, those are the cheap, fake-AT, Hankooks. I just can’t understand why Ford would put them on a $70k+ luxury...

@ Lpetters84 - Happy to help! I did have a few and minor ‘high spots’. When fresh (less than 1 hour old), you can just rub in a bit more coating and the solvent will take care of it. If on the paint longer, it leaves a slightly darker and semi-permanent mark on the finish. But it’s not like...

Here it is, 4 days later.

@Lpetters84 - Yes I did! It took me 1.5 weekends because I went all-in on the prep work and applied a total of 3 coats of protectant. (Probably went waaaaay overboard but I was excited to do the best job I could). I’m sure that a professional Detailer would have done so in less than half the...

@Zyvin - Thanks! I just ordered 2 of these through Etsy, one with the Clemson Tiger Paw logo and the other with the NC State Wolfpack logo - where my kids are attending.

FWIW - I got the tow (not max tow) package for the same reason. I did not base it on actual data, just my gut instinct.

You’ll have no difficulty. This was a 1.1 on a difficulty scale of 1 to 5!
