It‘s the difference between being an “Optimist” or a “Pessimist”
An Optimist believes we live in the best of all worlds.
The Pessimist fears he is correct.

Absolutely at least 6 inches. And the fixed are against the body so you only have the width of the running board for your foot. You had to very precise about where you placed your foot.
I certainly understand that, but the truck is a rolling computer and potentially an electrical nightmare outside of the battery. Rear brake light assembly over $1,000. I really think the battery is the least of our potential issues, its the cost to replace all those other things that concerns...
My Build Date was 4/22
Shipped to dealer on 11/4/22. No clue why it stayed with Ford for so long, but IBS Platinum was used in a lot of commercials so maybe its a TV star. It was a Dealer Demo and I purchased it with 880 miles in June 2023. It has ZERO deletes, which was not the case with...

On my Platinum I just replaced the undersized alloy spare tire with a 22" Platinum OEM Rim. It fits easily into the spare tire well. So no longer have to deal with any mileage or speed restrictions that came with the undersized spare.
I had asked another member who replace his spare with a...
I have to believe retractables help. I replace the fixed on my Platinum a few months after bought it. I installed AMPs and they store flush to the body of the cab no way they are not more aerodynamic than those fixed ones sticking out. And the Amps are far more friendly to occupants for ease...
How about this instead of a Survey Stop tracking problems and actually assure actions are taken to correct them. You won’t direct dealerships on they need to do and you don’t have the authority to actively engage internal technical staff to fix problems. All you do is gather information and...
Any reason you did not just cut the OEM plate and hinge it. Should take less effort since it already fits and only the gap might need adjustment to install the hinge.
