My previous 2 vehicles were F150s and I couldn't be any happier with my Bronco! I spent some time off and on since the fall building a 5x7 utility trailer. Obviously not as convenient as a truck bed, but it was far from a deal breaker for me.
I can't figure it out either lol. I added steps as well so that can't be it. Only thing I can figure, and it's still a stretch, but I babied the hell out of the thing during the break in period.
There's a picture of the tape measure in the top post (>13" if you don't want to read). That's stock WT, ymmv. I don't know the difference in height between trims.
@ArrickSports I don't want to knock him too bad. I also went to a local Rhino-Liner place and they weren't much better. They made the case that it's a real PITA, especially if you want it up on the door sills. You have to remove the doors and mask/seal the entire cab off to do it.
That actually looks pretty sharp and seems like a reasonable deal. I talked to the Line-X guy in the fall about spraying the rocker panels and he quoted me $2k so I can't imagine what he wants to charge for an entire top.
