I started up my truck tonight just to use ProPower. Ran my hotdog air compressor and didn't even register 200W. Then checked all my tire pressures since one was 1-2 psi lower on the dash and another was occasionally 1 psi lower. I also checked the oil level which was fine, and made sure I could lower/raise the spare in case I need it at some point.

EDIT: Also ordered a L14-30P to 5-20R cord made by Firman for use with ProPower in my truck.

Does your vinyl printer have a large enough platen to cover the whole "PLATINUM" emblem across the tailgate?
I'd like to tone that down a lot (grey it out to match smoked quartz.)
I’ve been thinking of something similar (same smoked quartz platinum) and heard of people using “Plastidip spray” to cover the whole platinum logo. I saw a thread here or on the other F-150 forum, and some dude who I occasionally see driving around my hood did it and it looks really good.

“Installed” a bedrug. I use quotes since I’m not sure I can really refer to cleaning a 10’x1” strip of the best and peeling some adhesive backing an “installation,” but so far, so good. Almost looks too classy for a truck bed but all the reviews say it’s fine for “truck stuff,” rain, etc. Really nice on the old knees when crawling around back there, and aside from needing to flatten out a bit I’m liking it for the 8 hours it’s been installed. I’ve got a long road trip and will have some heavy’ish stuff in the bed so that should flatten things out.

I replaced my front of the rear wheel well mud flap things with non mud flap ones. Much better now.

Line-X installed today while at work, then I got home and installed my tonneau cover I've had since the end of March. I'll likely need to adjust the cover some more, but it's 95% of the way there.

Interesting. My linex franchise did not coat underneath the tailgate insert. I wish they had.

Installed a Swingcase and a retractable tonneau cover. Both pretty simple and easy. Thinking about a bed mat to keep items from sliding around.

I had a BedRug in my 2018, they have a version that's just the mat. If it's basically the base of this one, it'll be real nice. Wish I would have pulled my cover off, I didn't think it'd fit the new one, but apparently it would have!

Reading the threads here and elsewhere, I've heard of everything from fully coated to nothing on the tailgate. They did everything from bed level up, so there's ~1½" at the bottom that's still paint, but not a big deal for me. I did specifically ask about the tailgate and also ProPower when I called and made an appointment though.

just a 1.5 inch level, but I am in love with the stance now.
Looks right. Just some taller tires and FORScan the speedo.
I'll do this when I swap out to off-road/winter wheels/tires (for now, factory is fine for summer.)
I wonder if raising the front a little causes aerodynamic changes (presumably Ford set the factory rake where it gains some small % of mpg because frontal area would change, and air turbulence under the body means more drag.)
