I bought my 2020 Lariat in December with 34K miles on it. I've got FordPass set up and connected so I can do remote starts but it spends so much time in Battery Saver Mode that the remote start function is almost useless. 2 days ago, I took the truck out to get gas and a wash (about 30 minutes...
I haven't tried adding a light bar to the Ranger yet, but did solve this problem on my Maverick by using a Putco light bar and a plug and play harness from Curt that T-connects into the tail light harness at the tail light independently of the towing circuits.
Other Maverick owners have used...
If your truck is in nice shape cosmetically and not suffering any issues, consider keeping it for another year (or two). Your warranty will carry you most of that, if not all, and then you'll be in a position to look for a 6G lease return that's already taken its initial depreciation hit.
At...
I got the cover installed today and here is my review of it, along with some other observations.
This was our starting point (Ford drop-in liner and Truxedo Lo Pro soft rollup that's been partially removed already):
Here is what the bed on my 2020 Ranger looks like after only 4-5 years with...
Mine is garaged and I'm retired so, at the moment, it doesn't spend much time out in the weather. However, I have a classic car that has been undergoing an engine rebuild at a friends shop in CT. When that comes home, the Ranger will have to live outside so we'll see how it likes the cold.
I ordered this tonneau cover from eBay. The day I ordered it, the price was $569 but, a few days later, it jumped to the current $642.00. Both prices include free shipping.
The cover arrived this afternoon and will be installed sometime over the next few days. I'm having my old shop, which is...
Well, I decided to take a flyer on this since I really miss having a hard rollup cover but don't want to spend $1400 or more. Once it's installed, I'll post a review and pics in case anyone else is looking for a budget cover.
I usually back in because, on arrival, I'm already out in the travel lane where people can see that I'm backing in. On departure, pulling out I have better visibility and don't have to worry about someone who can see I'm backing out and just pretends not to notice, whether they are on foot or in...
I'm considering this tonneau cover for my new-to-me 2020 Ranger SuperCab (6' bed). Does anyone have experience with this cover, specifically, or this brand in general?
The brands I'm used to and trust for quality have gotten extremely expensive and the truck already has a soft rollup on it that...
Access is not a RealTruck brand. It falls under Agri-Cover, Inc. which is a family owned company in North Dakota.
That's the private equity effect, IMHO. That piece of plastic isn't functionally necessary except to create a more finished appearance, so let's save the $0.05 it costs even as we...
All of the major tonneau cover brands were acquired by private equity a few years ago and placed under the Truck Hero umbrella, which is now RealTruck.com.
Depending on which brand you consider, it may be that you'd still be working under the same customer service policies so double check the...
I just found this thread so it's a little dated but here's some background info on the brands.
SwingCase is the original product name from UnderCover, Inc.
Circa 2018-19 (or thereabouts), UnderCover was acquired by Truck Hero.
RealTruck.com is Truck Hero's e-commerce site, but Truck Hero also...
BedRug bed mat, DeeZee polycarbonate storage chest, passenger side Undercover swing case, and a reach tool to replace the one I forgot to remove from my old truck.
When I had my truck accessories shop, we sold, installed, and serviced all the brands above except for Gator. Extang covers were generally good except for the first-gen Solid Fold. We pulled the demo unit off the floor because that cover caused too many customer issues. We only sold a few Solid...
In addition to lift height, I'd also pay attention to how the center of gravity is shifting.
I don't know anything about the style of camper you have, but consider height and width in addition to weight, then factor in the lift height. If the truck is tilted avoiding deep ruts, where is the...
The Maverick is a very nice truck in general. It has a very smooth ride, great fuel mileage, and lots of interior room. That said, it is basically a cross-over with a bed. Bed length is 4.3', which I found limiting at times.
I don't really need back seat space since the kids are grown and out...
You might want to consider a hard rolling cover. No loss of bed space and no need to remove it or block the rear window. Here is the one I had on the Maverick I just traded in for a 2020 Ranger.
It's a Truxedo Sentry. Cost when I bought it in 2022 was $929, but it's jumped since then. I'm not...
