Has anyone yet bought a car cover for their truck?
I've been looking around and am interested in Budge Covers, but they only manufacture universal type covers and do not have a listing for 2019 Rangers yet, only F-series.
However their website does list covers for late model Tacoma's and the GM twins, so I am reasonably certain that these covers would fit a Ranger. The cover will be used with the truck parked in a carport.so being waterproof is not necessary, it will be exposed to some AM sunlight but never direct sunlight.
Please note that I am referring to a entire vehicle cover and not a bed or seat covers.
Price point is important to me as well.
Any insight/suggestions?

I ordered this cover. It fits great, but definitely easier to put on with an extra set of hands. I ordered the cover, then decided to get a shell installed, so I gotta pass this cover off to a midsized truck owner when I get a chance. I also have the cover that accommodates the camper shell too. I plan to use it if my truck sits for an extended period of time.

Here's a Budge basic cover I bought for my 2010 Ranger scab. Works good on the new one. Pretty sure it was the F-150 one.

That is one well-protected Ranger, car cover and a garage.
Is the garage heated as well?
My 2020 will have to make do in a 3 car carport, enclosed garages in older homes like mine (63 years) are a rarity here in Hawaii.

Have you found one that fits with a cap yet? I normally won’t use one but when I visit folks in Maine I have to park under pine trees.

Yes, the main garage is heated, cooled and humidity controlled. I spend a lot of time here.

These guys have one that fits over my shell. I bought the non shell version when I first got the truck, then decided to get a shell installed and ordered the camper shell type too. Keep hoping a buddy buys a SuperCrew, mid sized truck so I can get rid of the first one that I bought

Impressive setup sir, though I would not want to pay your energy bill here in Hawaii, I paid almost 35 cents per KwH in December, I've seen it go as high as 40 cents in previous years.
PV systems are a no brainer here, I've one installed on my home, but there are months where the system's production is low, forcing me to pay the outlandish fee.
Of course, there is no need for heat here, gas, electric or otherwise.

Georgia temps often vary 35 degrees in just a few hours. HVAC is just the way it is, but well insulated and sealed structures are pretty easy to keep habitable. Besides, it's only money!:piggybank: The shop is a different story. I use wood, electricity, propane and kerosene and still have to wear a jacket.

Indeed, I periodically view a particular channel on YouTube called "It's a Southern Thing" one of the skits explained humidity in the South...it is hilarious, believe me, I can completely understand the need for a properly functioning HVAC system.
Temperature swings at sea level in Honolulu rarely vary by more than 15 degrees throughout the year, today's high was probably 80, as I am writing this it is 75 or so, present time here is 1922 hours.

Wow, Hawaii is using 1922 hours still? The mainland is using 2020 hours! ;)

I used a car cover by Leader Accessories for my last car. I think it was okay for me.
