I would not have the dealer do it - even tho they will farm it out. No point in adding another profit layer. My experience suggests both Line-X or Rhino-Liner are excellent, BUT the preparation before it's sprayed in is the key. So it's the installer - find a good one with a good reputation...

Phil, assuming you are like me (been retired for a long time) it's not the getting down that's the problem - it's getting back up once down (you young guys will find that out soon enough). The snow on the step was left on for demo purposes, brushed off when the step is used. And there is no...

The unit is powder coated and the actuating mechanism works on nylon bushings. The roads are salted in WY too and half a winter in the unit seems to be holding up very nicely. Time will tell.

Darrell, Good description as the instructions are not totally understandable. Took me about an hour, having to get up to answer my phone several times on the bench - no I don't want to extend my warranty or need a medicare supplement or friendly cremation and I don't care about your Nigerian...

My father and my grandfather before him were in the tire business. I grew up around it so I'd like to believe I have a little bit of knowledge. NHTSA, just like the tire mfg'er, has to "cover their six" and do not want to face repercussions of saying it's okay to inflate above the sidewall...

A point of reference. The max tire pressure on the sidewall is NOT the maximum pressure the tire can be inflated. The max pressure label is directly related to load. The load as noted on the sidewall is the maximum safe load the tire is rated for, regardless of the pressure equal to or above...

This is pretty well known, but just in case... Every Ford dealer can check the availability of any Ford vehicle that has not sold. Its physical location, and the options on that vehicle are available to your dealer. He just has to bring it up on his computer. If you are interested in an...

Pete, When I ordered the truck I specified front and rear mud flaps. For some time I have seriously thought about your suggestion; cutting a piece of rubber from an old inner tube and placing it in front of the step to act as a shield. If I can get my act together I'll do it.

My concern was ice/snow/slush build up, inhibiting operation. This happens with Ford's step (the one in front of the rear tire). The Trek Step is directly in the path of that slush. Where I live winter lasts from November through Mid-May, really beginning in January. Currently there is only...

RE deletes. Vehicles are getting so darn expensive (have you seen the price of the Caddy suburban - $110K) they are out of reach for many (most) people. Even used cars are getting costly. Manufacturers are doing everything to keep costs affordable. Cutting those little things add up and...

Howard, Might try installing an electric fan in front of the A/C condenser and trigger it when the compressor engages.

To answer your questions: - Yes, once ACC is off, the cruise works just like the standard cruise we all know and love. - Yes, it will remain off once turned off via the help screen. - Yes, the brake lights come on. - Annoyingly, once you turn the ACC off, every time you turn your "normal"...

If this is a concern for all your vehicles, current and future, consider investing in a power washer that heats the water. They work very well, then put it in your heated garage with doors ajar to dry around the weatherstripping. There are lots out there but they are expensive - it's why I...

Several points: In '07 I ordered a Volvo XC90 through Costco. First they will check to see if the dealer you are interested in purchasing from is in "their plan." If so, they will want the VIN. I told them I was ordering. BTW, I had previously talked to the dealer about ordering specifically...

I had a mouse in my truck. Little devil got into the headliner above the PAX rear seat. Bits of blue insulation foam all over the floor. Tried a "Organic Rodent Repellant" bag (neighbor swore by them) which didn't work at all. Shut off the HVAC system when departing the vehicle (or put the...

I lived in Northern Utah for six year while going to school. Now live in SE of Yellowstone. Yeah, I know snow. If you are in Cedar City or south to St George, your worry is not snow as it won't stick around long...you need to worry about old farts like me behind the wheel. Last time I got...

I've got an early build '19. 22K miles with no issues save for a current software glitch in the Sync system. Another way to look at this reliability thing is to think big picture. It costs huge bucks to bring a vehicle to market - even one built overseas for years prior to being...

Dave, What version of sync is in your truck? Thanks.

@Glocker There are several companies that sell converters to change a single fuel generator to Propane, or are able to run on either gas or Propane. I converted a home back up generator (9000W) to Propane for maintenance reasons using a company in PA. Since my set-up is for emergency use only...

Was always doubtful when friends bragged about pure winter tires. Finally succumbed and installed a set of Michelin Ice-X winter tires on my wife's Escape. WOW! Next best thing to chains. Really. (BTW, as I write this there is 18" of snow out my front door and more on the way). Suspect...
