Replaced the tailgate badge with another that actually sticks to the paint. Previous one was easily peeled off without heating. Also touched up some scratches on the tailgate. Compounded , polish, reapplied Adam’s graphene ceramic. Last thing... pulled the diode dynamics bulbs out of the third brake light.. time to save for the oem led light.

A lot of trucks have had issues with lack luster AC temps. A TSB has been released to address this that includes removing your entire dash. 2021's and up have had the problem addressed apparently.
I did traded my 19 limited for 21 longhorn. Much better

Had XPEL applied to the front bumper, grille surround, headlights, under headlights, applique and back of sideview mirrors. About $1100, before tax.

It's absolutely maddening how many paint blemishes the front of this truck has suffered, on non-sanded/salted Florida roads, in 1700 short miles.

This factory clear coat is about as durable as paper underwear.
Where in Florida ? Which xpel dealer you used ?

I am in Tampa, where in north FL are you ? How much your dealer charges ?
I am in JAX. Actually headed to Tampa on business next Tuesday. If you tell me exactly what you want done, I'll get you a quote and see if he'll cut you a break since we're friends ;)

You Floridians with your cheap labor costs! I paid more than double that $1700 here in SoCal.

As I wrote in the listing, "Used a total of 10 minutes. Married it and played with it for a few minutes. Determined it really has no value for me."

The only function that is appealing to me is the ability to input into the Nav while in motion. But that's not motivation enough to keep it.
They list pretty much all the functions in the website, so you should have known before you ordered that it didn't offer you anything you wanted.

I made a bike mount set up using Delta Bike Hitch fork mounts, a 2x4, and lots of gorilla tape. The parking garage has low ceilings and narrow entrance ramps, so I needed a solution where the bike did not stick out above or from the sides of the truck. I used some threaded 8mm u-bolts to attach the 2x4 to existing hooks in the flat bed, then bolted the fork mounts to the 2x4. The lower part of the fork mount accepts road bike forks, and the upper part clamps onto it to accept the 15x110mm thru-axle of my mountain bike. One solution for both bikes. Feels very solid. Road test coming soon.

Installed my new Tazer DT. Very pleased, now have a number of functions that I wish the truck had come with. Current faves are: Mirrors close/open with ignition off/on, Signal bulbs now function as DRLs, Front windows down/up with fob. Also enabled me to input my new tire size, and update tail/brake lights to LED

Thanks for the reply! My only concern is that Amazon says they do not fit my vehicle. I saw a later reply that says all 1500 lugs are the same, so I am going to give it a shot. Worse case I use Prime so free returns!
Yep...Amazon does say that and it is an error. I, along wit many others, are living proof they fit perfectly and look great!
