Nice! I haven't found that the price of premium fuel covers the difference in MPG. I see a 2 MPG improvement with 93 octane, but I would need a 4 MPG (or more) improvement to justify using premium fuel.

I'm not sure if his XL is 2X4 or 4x4. An XL 2X4 could get 28 MPG without playing too many games with driving habits. Also, he didn't say if he was using premium fuel or not, I'm assuming he is using regular fuel. Premium fuel in a 2x4 platform with no heavy options could get a highway driver...

I’m getting 18-20 MPG out of the 2.7L FX4, and I’m sure I could get it to 22 or more if I didn’t drive like Mario Andretti. 28 MPG out of the 2.3L is very possible with reasonable driving Habits.

Does anyone know what the weight limit is for the tailgate? I would like to use ramps to load a snow blower, but I don't want to destroy the tailgate doing it... The snow blower weight 250-300 lbs so that would probably be find, but I'm not sure if it will hold both me and the snow blower as I...

I bought a box of grommets (various sizes) from Amazon, and was able to find a fit for most of the holes. You can also cut the grommets to force fit when needed. I also used black flex seal tape for some of the larger gaps under the rails. I think most of the holes are just fixture points...

That stinks. The problem is with the cover, not the rails. My original rails worked with the replacement cover. The bolt head slots are in the wrong location on the original cover.

Word of warning… Don’t expect anything to stay dry and clean if you use a tonneau cover. The bed on this truck leaks worse than any truck I’ve ever used.

I’ve noticed the wind direction makes a massive difference in my 2.7L MPG. I do Cincinnati to Columbus, then back to Cincinnati fairly often (Go bucks!). It’s very common that I get 18.5 MPG one direction and 22 MPG the other direction. The cruise is set on 80 as my default, so I’m sure I...

I have a set of Harbor Freight ramps that cost like 70 dollars, but they are probably not needed. I just like having the space to move around. You could probably buy the ramps, oil, filter, and 27mm socket (or 1 1/16 socket) for less money than it would cost to pay for one oil change.

You lose maybe 9 inches of bed length, but it is above the rails, so you still have the full box length. When rolled, you can still see out of the rear view mirror, which was a big plus in my opinion. The other thing you can do is remove the cover if you really need those 9 inches every once...

The replacement they sent installed properly. All I had to do was start a warranty claim, send them some pictures, and they agreed to provide a replacement free of charge. I don’t like having problems with such an expensive purchase, but BAK handled it very well and resolved my issue quickly.

I'm very happy with the engine. It's over-powered for a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, and will spin the rear tires if you punch it from a dead stop. It is crazy fast for a truck, and doesn't even blink under any significant load both in the farm fields or on the highway. My only complaints are...

Nice! I'm driving the 2.7 FX4 and have run a similar 200 mile trip 4 different times. MPG with the tonneau cover closed was 22-23.5 MPH and with the tonneau cover opened was 19.5-21 MPG. All figures are hand calculated and were similar to the onboard calculation (with on exception where the...

What type of clips, and is there a part number or close-up picture? Also, does the cap pop off similar to a door panel where you just have to pull until you think you are going to break it? I'm going to do the same thing as others, but I'm thinking about laying a bead of clear calk under the...

Also, a 27 mm socket is a bit rare, but you may have a 1 1/16 at the house that will work. I can't remember the size for the bash plate removal, but that was a normal size metric so you probably have that.

Just did it this evening… Not too bad other than a wire harness routed almost directly under where the drain plug will drip. I took a piece of Saran Wrap (roughly two feet long) and covered it by wrapping the Saran Wrap around the frame and harness. You’ll see what I mean once you get under...

My only driving complaint is actually just a flash-back to the days or rear wheel driver vehicles. This thing is basically a 1990 F-150 with 3x the torque and double the horsepower. With no weight in the back, the rear wheels spin very easily. It takes a gentile foot from a stop if you want...

I have the BAK Revolver X4S but it didn’t install properly. Only one bolt on each side (near the cab) will line up with the slots on the rail platform where the cover mounts to the rail. They are sending me a replacement.

What does it involve? My dealer wants to send it to a body shop...

How was this resolved? I have the same issue on my driver door, and it is starting to rub against the front fender.
