Just one that demonstrates how good the nerf bars deflect the mud away from your paint. I was sideways drifting at least a half dozen times and this is all the mud that hit the paint. Going again today, different location, with some more clingy route mud. Will be dirtier soon!
Post more when you can. I will check back on this thread to see.

I got caught with my pants down. We just bought an Escape with the 2 liter ecoboost to tow a lightweight fiberglass trailer. These new turbocharged Escapes can tow up to 3500 lbs, but only come with a 4 pin trailer connector. The trailer we like is a ParkLiner, but they're a fairly new company making a great product (only 2100 lbs dry - http://www.parkliner.com/), so we figured we'd have to buy new. Then Tuesday morning a 2012 comes up used in NJ. We go to get it tomorrow. I have not wired the Escape for a 7 pin RV plug yet in part because it is a pain in the butt. My '01 F150 though is a different story. No problem finding a hitch for it in Albany (NY), but am having problems finding a plug & play connector like Curt's 55242. If I can find one, we'll take the F150 down, if not, it's the Escape. I installed a 7 pin on the back of the Escape, but it's only wired for lights, no brakes. Bah. Didn't want to miss out on this deal, but at this moment, I am not really prepared!

Good news for me is I found a quick connect 7 blade RV plug up in Albany, so will run up and get that and a Class 3 hitch for the F150 this afternoon, and now can go to NJ prepared to haul the cool little fiberglass travel trailer we bought. I also just ordered all new brake stuff (calipers, pad and rotors) for all 4 paws, as well as new lower ball joints. That's stuff that will get done soon.
I love my F150!
