Dude. You are both overreacting and getting some very poor advice. tires are rated for load carrying, not towed trailer weights. SL tires do not have a “1000 lbs each” tow rating. You also do not need tires rated for 10,000 lbs just to tow a trailer. if you want fuel economy, drop to an LT...

If you put a full 1900 lbs all across the floor of the camper, you'll probably be over GWVR on your truck by adding more tongue weight (but perhaps not by much). The WDH doesn't make weight dissapear, it only redistributes it away from the rear axle. Your truck is maxed out already with an...

Whoa. Spoken like a true futurist, lol. I'm also an AGI skeptic. It sucks, I want no part of that world. Will it be forced upon me? Perhaps.

My prediction: at some point, perhaps about 10 years from now, this will all reach a head. Where BEVs are still very expensive, heavy, have the same ~300 mile range they do now, still need 1+ hour to recharge without really straining your battery, and suffer huge range losses when towing a...

No way will 15th gen be last ICE model. The lightning, or any other electric pickup truck will never, I repeat NEVER be able to conveniently tow a camper on your family vacation. Not unless you want to stop every 100 miles for a 1-2 hour break, at charging stations that don't exist yet, and...

Man, you are correct. What a crazy bummer. I mean, I wasn't ready to jump on ordering a 2024 F150 anyway. But the only one I would consider is another 157" wb 302a like I have now - can't live with the short bed or tight cab. And can't live with less features (like no heated seats, etc) and...

Agreed. Maybe it’s just a mistake on the build and price tool though. No good reason why the bed length should change BAP availability.

i was building a CC 6.5' bed. no such option.

I didn't see any button in the online build for the blackout when trying an XLT build, but either way that is pretty disappointing. Even the STX has a body color bumper (partly).

Dang those grilles are ugly. Chrome only on the XLT ?!?! gross. Still a great truck that I'd love to have, but this is clearly a downgrade from the 23s

hahaha. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see them pick off two more teams to get to an even twenty. Gonna suck for the basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, baseball teams.... etc... having to fly across three time zones all the time. Since I'm here, do you have any closer shots of the wheel...

Gee, what school did you go to? Can't see any such indication plastered all over your vehicle LOL Typical Buckeye impulse to turn a proper, useful truck into a pavement queen. :ROFLMAO: (go blue) J/K, J/K, looks slick!

305s are wiiiide. They will hurt your mpg more than the tire height will. And what are the weight comparison between all those tires? Personally, I went with 275/60/20 (33.0") specifically because I didn't want heavy, stiff, Load range E tires. I assume all your choices are range E? I wish...

Yes. And I think the raw sound of a 5.0L coyote gives people a +50 HP sensation in their brains. It's a great motor that pulls hard to high RPMs, very exciting to drive. The 3.5L is tuned way too quiet, and the broader powerband (which makes it even faster) almost deceives you as to the full...

You can probably just make some. sheet of abs plastic, screw it into the lip of the rear fender, etc.

Nahh. See, thats sorta what i first thought also. But the active shutters are not particularly well sealed to the entire front grill assembly, so their aerodynamic benefit is sorta limited. a fully smoothed front end is surely more aerodynamic. I’m sure that was part of Fords design goal, but...

For the underbody panels, the OEM stuff is pretty aerodynamic already. In the front and under the transmission, anyway. Aftermarket skid plates might hang down further, and actually create more drag. Behind the transmission, it looks to me like it wouldn't be that hard to buy a 4x4' sheet of...

Not certain "spats" is really the right word, just seen them called that before. It's a small panel (typically black plastic) placed in front of any wheel/tire to direct air away from it. Rotating wheels and tires create a lot of air turbulence. So the more you steer incoming airflow away...

If you want mpg at speed, you need to focus on aerodynamics. I took a 2003 Jetta TDI from 46 mpg to 56 mpg hwy (70-75 mph cruising) with some extensive aero-modding. Do you have a tall antenna flapping in the wind? Go shorty. Is your bed covered with a tonneau cover? Tow mirrow or regular...

Its an access vanish that I loved, but from circa 2015. So I bought another access vanish for my '19 F150 this last february and I am sad to say that the quality went way downhill. It's already coming apart, I need to contact them and see what can be done to make things right.
