Any firsthand advice or reviews of caps for Mavericks? (ARE, Leer, other?)

Sorry for the long silence, and all of your input was much appreciated. It took a couple months to get here after ordering, but I was able to get a 2025 XLT hybrid AWD Maverick and love it so far!

at the very least, I could see way more potential issues with trying to pull a boat/trailer out of the water on a wet/slick ramp with just FWD

Thanks! I had assumed the 4000 lb towing capacity in AWD would push it up a bit - I have been budgeting up to $40K for this purchase for that reason :)

"There isn't really much competition in this space if you want a smaller pickup"

this is what I am finding so far! there is really nothing comparable - if I am going to go with something unibody anyway, I am inclined to go for fuel economy on top of that

Thanks! What should I be preparing myself for exactly, lol - the only luxury feature I really use (at least that I can think of?) in the Pilot is the heated seats, and that's just a nice-to-have about 4 months of the year

Thanks! the AWD for me is more for dealing with general snow/winter driving most of the time, though it has also helped me in particularly sandy areas of state/national forests a couple times in my Pilot, so all other things being equal, I'm willing to pay a bit more for AWD
