'25 XLT FX4
New to the Ford and this forum. I recently purchased an F-150 out of state. '25 XLT FX4 with the 5.0. Honestly always been a Toyota guy but our family outgrew the Tacoma and I decided against the new Tundra with all the motor issues the new ones are having. Just ordered some carhartt seat covers from Covercraft. Anyone have these yet? Wasn't sure how I'd like the material but Ford actually recommended them. I'll be scrubbing through forum for info but if anyone has recommendations on campers(thinking ARE) or a programmer to disengage the auto start/stop feature permanently let me know. Truck is currently en route but will post pics as soon as it shows up. Cheers from SoCal.

I have those seat covers on my last 2 trucks. Love them they fit very tight and hold up very well. Washable if say is a big plus too. My last truck had gray ones for 5 years no wear. The ones I have now are black. Been 3 years no fading or wear.

Awesome thanks for the input. I just like to keep my cloth seats protected and wasn't willing to spend extra on the Lariat for the leather seats

Don't you have a button on your dashboard for the STOP/START?

Sorry for the delay. Here she is. Ordered an ARE CX Evolve shell. Backordered a few months but I’ll post another pic when it’s mounted. Not sure if I like the 20s on it. Might switch up the wheels/tires around 5k miles. Any recommendations?
