Deployed US military troops of today have the flag on their right shoulder, full color, reversed, blue on the right, stripes to the left as you look at it to show it is blowing with the wind while advancing forward.

I have just over 4,000 miles on my 2025 Lariat since October 2025. I am getting 22.2 MPG per the vehicle gauge. Have not done any calculations other than that. Most of my RPM is at 1400, occasionally 2K, and I drive the speed limit. I use Normal setting only.

You could use some Nano ceramic window film (not tint; tint does not cut UV or heat transfer, just darkens). We have both high UV and heat in our beloved State so use nano ceramic. My truck photo shows XPEL Nano ceramic window film.

Linex is a great product. Had it sprayed on two previous F150s and no issues. Would have had it on the Ranger but as I mentioned many Linex installers in Kansas switched to Phoenix, not because of the product but from banging heads with Linex corporate people. On both F150s, the shop removed...

As I understand Line-X, the installers are independent franchises. The quality of installation depends upon who is working there. The warranty is good at any dealer. I think you have a couple options. Go back to your dealer, have the Line-X removed, and resprayed. That is not difficult for...

Before you buy a Fifth Wheel or any other trailer, especially new, recommend you watch several YouTube videos by Liz Amazing. She is an RVer who advocates for people who bought what turned out to be a nightmare. She has a buying guide that is very useful. Suggest you hire a professional RV...

Your truck is impressive. Tough. Ready for adventure. Since you are adding pink accents, a name like Ragin' Rose, dropping that "g" in true Texas style.

I used XPEL Ultimate, 7.5 mils thick, 10 year warranty. Installed by Wichita Clear Bra, which did a full front including grill and mirror skull caps, as well.

Put PPF on, have it removed if dinged, and put on more PPF. At $78 a side (my area), you can replace it a whole bunch of times before you drop the same money for fixed step bars that can also get dinged up or damaged. Mine has been on for months over gravel and dirt roads and no dings. You...

Welcome! Lots of great folks here who have helped me a lot. With any new vehicle, you need to go over it in daylight before you sign. Have the salesman put it on a lift so you can inspect for rust and loose parts or wires. I do that because within a week I am getting the new truck...

Yep. I put them on about a year ago and the fit is perfect. Instructions were straightforward. The front set is easier to install than the rear set because you can turn the wheels. It helps to have small hands for the rear set, which I don't. The hex head screws for the front set are a...

So after the Lightning fiasco of Ford losing $44K per unit sold, 5,671 currently unsold Mustang EVs, and dropping EV demand, now we have this whatever it is. The camouflaged road test model looks like a Maverick/Escape unibody. The price targets a certain urban dweller demographic who is...

At least those accessories were ones you decided you wanted and maybe got some enjoyment out of them. Too many dealers these days jack up the price with lots of extras that can run into $1000s and then insist you MUST pay for them because "that is just what we do to all our vehicles." When you...

Yeah, lots of issues there, especially potential problems after conversion. Too bad. Who bought your Black Raptor?

So sad about that Godzilla project, and especially after putting that stealth PPF on. Hope you got something for that when you sold it. So was there anything misleading about what you were told/sold and then what happened or actually didn't happen with your conversion? Did you have to put...
