I've been on the fence for about a week regarding a cover. This one is offering 10% off today

Covers are truly a double-edged sword. If and ONLY if your truck is exceptionally clean, should you put something on it that touches the paint. My trucks are never clean enough to cover. Secondly, if it is outside, then the wind buffeting the cover against the paint during any breeze will rub a spot or 10 in the different areas of contact.

I have used indoor covers for minimally driven "show" cars, but they only go on following a wash....and never just after driving. They help keep dust off for a clean drive later on, but that's all.

Now if you mean bed cover.....totally different conversation for a different thread.
 
working with sandi to place an order for a new mega with MD. any of you guys have either MD or a local vendor do expel wrap for you before picking up? need some protection on the new girl since i always find a way to get into something too tight. pinstripes are no fun when you run dark trucks and i like dark trucks

I wouldn’t let a dealer do an XPEL wrap on a new vehicle. I plan to either leave the transport wrap on if an option or take my roll of TracWrap with me for the front end (I went with black) until I get it back to my preferred install shop in SoCal. Not sure what the options are in Lake Charles, but prob not as many.

Agree the truck should be clean before covering.

These newer covers have a soft fleece lining and an elastic hem around the bottom to reduce " wind buffeting the cover against the paint during any breeze will rub a spot or 10 in the different areas of contact" issue.

I'm in the high desert where the wind blows sand/dirt and makes a clean truck dirty overnight, I've had to wash my truck three times this past week!

Maybe. You know your environment better than I do. I would just think that if those sand particles are constantly in the air...that you would be trapping something on the surface that the fleece lining just wiggles into the paint all night. JMHO.
 
I dont know what exact status this is. But i believe im built, AND ready to ship. 11.11 order cc 4x4 tradesman w 5th wheel prep, 4.10s, anti spin. Thats it. Went fast.

Aaron at Mark Dodge told me they don’t have anyone but he’s looking into it for me. I’m the same way, like dark colors and don’t like the pinstripes which seem to find my vehicles.

My concern is sometimes i have to leave my truck at one of the work parking lots and that happens to be directly next to a cement silo and ship dock. The prevailing wind blows the cement dust onto the vehicles. Its about an 8 or 9 hour wash job to get it all off evem using vinegar.

Never thought of that and I love the desert but live in the mountains.
So based on you statement I bet desert would be a great place to build a carwash?

I did on a previous truck - No Good unless you have a relatively rigid cover on bed - otherwise rain will puddle in cover over bed and become a big problem - eventually threw away a $200 Covercraft cover.
 
@Brutal_HO New to the forum! I've got my VIN on the Google list, after reading the first posts in the new truck stick threads, I guess I have a few general questions, I'm not sure if this is the best place to post. Apologies if it's been covered. Like:

So in general it looks like the Cummins builds take longer than Gas. Does that seem accurate?
Does the Mexico plant process batches of diesels?
Are there known options/packages that delay builds, from what we can see? I've heard that some options have more chips, etc. I've also heard that doesn't matter or delay things.
 
Talked to Aaron at MD

Order placed prior to Christmas
Scheduled build date Feb 3
Bighorn 6.7 H.O. Mega night package 12” screen no other crazy packages

MD has been the easiest dealer to work with ever! They got a customer for a long time to come.
