    Been using these. They do a decent job and aren’t very expensive. The price you see is per mirror. You need two. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AJH1HK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Pet Cargo Liner

    I simply bought a piece of indoor/outdoor carpet and cut it to fit. Easy. Inexpensive. Home Depot sells a piece 4’ X 6’ for about $20.

    Liftgate clearance / trailer jack

    Thanks everyone. I’ll be using the dealer installed Equalizer WDH. There are two shank lengths available. 12” and 18”. Looks like if I go with the 18” I’ll be ok. If I need another inch, or so, I’ll look at rotating the jack itself.

    Liftgate clearance / trailer jack

    Anyone else have a problem with the liftgate not being able to fully open because it hits the trailer jack? If so, any solutions?

    Going to buy a new 2021 XLT MAX today.

    When you are close to a deal, tell them you want four key fobs instead of the usual two. These fobs cost you a lot but the dealership not much. Now you have one to use every day, one to use as a hide-a-key, another to keep safely at home, and the fourth just in case.

    Pro Trailer backup assist

    Thanks for the replies. I’ve towed two smaller trailers at different time and was never very good at backing into tight spaces. The one on order is a 25’ Bigfoot. More practice is in order. :)

    Pro Trailer backup assist

    Have a 2020 Expedition. Trailer due in June. I’m wondering about the pro-trailer backup assist. Is it a great help? Just sort of OK? Or mostly useless? Appreciate your opinion and tips for using it. Thanks Ed
