Ooh... I like the mud flap idea. I'l have to do a little digging on here to see what folks have put on and what they like don't like.

Any suggestions?

I ordered through LaFontaine Ford in Birch Run.

I went through Suburban Ford of Sterling heights . I have an awesome sales rep I deal with there. Been using him for over 20 years , great guy ( no b.s dealer) !

I had a guy who I used for 15 years, but he moved west and left the business. His replacement was good for a truck, then he left the business as well. I'm running blind on this new one. Ordered from Brighton Ford (Past purchase experience there was positive, service not so much) and the rep is a patient of the better half so hopefully no BS there.

If I have my truck come spring time . Who knows my truck might be converted to a "23" order , and I'll have to wait another year.

You'd still be welcome to join and meet up without yours yet but let's just hope you have it by then.

Which salesman? I use them for service. They've always taken great care of me there from a service perspective. I've never purchased there, though.

As I opted out of the factory spray in liner, I needed something to hold me over until I can get it sprayed sometime in the spring. I went with the husky bed mat. This will be a temporary solution for the time being.

Let me know what you think of this. I have a spray in liner but will put a rolling cover on as I typically keep hunting bins in back during most of the year and would like to keep them (and other things) from sliding around quite so much. So in my case I would put it down over the spray in liner.

Will provide an update as soon as I can install it. I will be getting the bed sprayed at some point in the spring, and I'll put this back down over it. We are planning to upgrade our camper trailer to a 5er in the future, so this would have to come out or be modified to accommodate the hitch.

More stuff

RotoPax - FuelPax 3.5 gallon for those slogs in northern MI where fuel stations are few and far between.

Congratulations!!
Seems like there has been lots of positive activity for many of us. Mine should be built next week. Now I have a comfort level to start getting stuff for it.

I couldn't believe it... It felt surreal... the sales manager looked at me and said "I don't even need to ask if you like it, the smile on your face says it all".
