    Very true!
    The few times I have bought new vehicles I always called the dealership before going and asked who the Fleet Sales Manager is. I go directly to him, he in general tells me what their bottom line is on a vehicle. I then take his price and call other dealerships and ask for their Fleet Manager and ask can they beat that number etc.
    Plus...good info here for buying a new vehicle.

    I kept getting annoyed with my charging cables constantly getting pinched by the console lid, so I installed two small cable organizers on the inside/outside to hold them in place. They were clear, but I spray painted them flat black ( along with some screws). Just a few minor slips with the screw driver, but nothing noticeable unless you’re looking closely.

    Oh... because they are not meant as jacking points. You could bend them.

    UPDATE:
    I took delivery of the truck and drove it about 200 miles, the TSB has made a huge difference, acceleration is perfect, no more stumble, and the MPG has gone up by 2.2 points. The dealership was very professional and treated me with respect, I'm very happy.

    Thanks....they've worked out well for me.

    I had to do some touch-up paint on one of them in two spots. It would appear the step stopped a couple doors from dinging my own...and struck the steps instead. Parking lot armor. :)

    Nice, I’m doing this, I was thinking of something the other day since I use the center counsel to charge my phone, I don’t like putting things on the dash in my line of sight.

    Just had TS-B 0062-18! Feels better! The stumble/lugging thing at 40-50 is gone! That’s was annoying! Other than that after 30K miles it runs like a champ!D34F9AB7-FA2D-41CB-A670-8D47633C5C5E.jpg

    Done today: Installed the nice factory spare tire! Discovered a nail through the sidewall of new tire. Just bought the things! And pretty sure I don’t have road hazard coverage.

    I’ve been thinking about installing a bed cover. Do you have a picture of it fully opened and such? Or if it’s removable? I haul my Honda Rancher sometimes

    Thanks

    I have a trifold, it's not a Bakflip, but it works the same way. They will fold completely up and store vertically in front of the rear window.
