Ford has the window sticker of your vehicle online in PDF form if you want. I downloaded and saved mine for future reference and resale purposes. Can't post it now, as it is at home, and I am in...

One thing that you can't do with this cover is to access the caddy when...

It is pricey. I first looked for other options, but ended up going with the Fold-a-Cover one as it fits perfect, and with the front section of the cover doubling as the lid, it kept using it simple....

Yes it can. You just fold the other sections back to form a ^ shape behind the front one, but ahead of the pin box. Good thing too, because I have had need to do that a few times. :)

I love the fact my Fold-a-cover tonneau cover stays on with when towing, and has a lockable tool box as well. This has proven to be a very handy item. I really like quickly closing the tonneau cover...

If you can buy a 2016 off the lot that fits the bill right now, you will save a horde of money. I was shocked at the deal I made on my 2015 a year ago now.

Yes, but I find it nicer to stop at a nice rest stop along the way, take a break by a river, rather than pit stops at a fuel station.

Going from the small tank in my Pilot, to the large 36 US gal...

Ah yes, I do try to use those as another check, but with the convex mirrors on the tow mirrors (something I am very used to) I always check them anyway.

Besides, they automatically turn off when...
