Even when we had a larger Durango we found ourselves running out of room quickly if any type of camping gear was involved or when we were hauling inflatable kayaks somewhere. The hitch rack has been invaluable. We got the biggest one Curt makes, which was around $130 when we bought it in 2016...
Great report! Glad you enjoyed your visit to my home state of Utah.
I find one of these invaluable for road trips where cargo space is limited but you don't want a rooftop box:
Very easy to throw on and take off when needed/not needed and very inexpensive too.
I ordered the same and used them yesterday to replace my pod speakers. Haven't done the dash yet. They fit perfectly. Maybe he sent you the wrong item? Or are you trying to use them for the kick panel speakers? Those require a different harness. (I'm not messing with my kick panel speakers.)
I also went with the Polks. The Kickers seem to be the default choice around here, but the Polks sounded better to me on Crutchfield's listening comparison feature, for whatever that's worth. The Polks were also less expensive and more readily-available than the Kickers.
Yeah, the gaps are super tight. I can’t get any of my trim removal tools in there. Tried the credit card approach with no success before turning my attention to the rear pods instead.
Hey all, I just replaced my rear pod speakers with Polks and had wired in bass blockers from PAC (even though Ford’s software isn’t currently allowing full range to the rear anyway). They sounded like an AM radio and then I realized the PACs are cut off at 1200 hz for 4 ohm speakers (they are...
Good news for CO owners, whether you consider that color orange or yellow:
The Car Colors With the Best Resale Value
Color // 3-Year Depreciation (Decrease From MSRP)
Yellow // 4.5 percent (-$3155)
Orange // 10.7 percent (-$3825)
Purple // 13.9 percent (-$5461)...
Definitely poor design. I'm glad I saw these pics because I can absolutely assume this would happen to me at some point. I guess you won't realize how much that plastic is flexing and how thin/fragile it is until the damage is done. Yes, there needs to be something there to reinforce and...
Yikes!!!! I can see this happening to mine as well. It's not easy to get those pins into the right spots without some pressure on those pins (especially if you aren't using a lift). Maybe an aftermarketer can come up with some reinforcement plates that sit atop the hole and help reduce the...
