Please include what trim and engine you have in addition to problem info.

The F150's standard rear diff is 8.8 inch, but trucks with payload or tow packages get the 9.75 inch diff because it's more heavy duty. The 2.7 payload package only includes the larger diff and the 3.73 gears, no other difference. I'm getting this package because I'll be hauling a slide-in...

This forum is for discussing all aspects of owning these trucks, good and bad, but too many fanboys on here feel personally attacked when someone has a legitimate complaint about their beloved brand. In any case, few things irritate me more than people who go around on forums policing the...

I just ordered a loaded XLT 302A SuperCab with V6 payload package (9.75" rear diff and 3.73 gears). At least 80% of my driving is highway and I typically do 65-70 mph, so I expect to avg 23 mpg. In my opinion, the 2.7 is the best engine currently offered in the F150 because it's designed and...

I think the ecoboost engines take time to fully break in, so I suspect your fuel economy will continue to improve. Having owned 2 direct injected turbo vehicles in recent years, I noticed that fuel economy continued to improve well beyond 10,000 miles. I just ordered a loaded 2021 XLT SuperCab...

I've never understood people who say they don't care about fuel economy simply because they drive a truck, makes no sense to me. I've driven trucks for over 20 years and I always prioritize fuel economy. It's the 2nd most important factor in choosing which brand/model I buy, right behind my...

Considering the relatively low cost of the JLT unit, it's cheap insurance in my opinion. As long as you keep it emptied, it certainly can't hurt anything. I have a XLT Supercab 2.7 ecoboost on order and a catch can will be the very 1st thing I do to it, although I may go with a more advanced...

That's merely your opinion, nothing more, just like 20s are my preference. Everyone has their own perspective on this, so it's silly to suggest that one way or the other is "right" or "wrong". Just do your thing and be happy.

The wheel/tire setup to go with depends on your preferences, priorities and use case. Bigger tires like your truck has will certainly be more comfortable on road and more capable off road, but they will handle poorly on road. So if handling is a priority, a lower profile tire makes sense. This...

Looks great... Love the lead foot! I'm preparing to order my 302A SuperCab and I keep going back and forth between lead foot and iconic silver. I have a slight preferrence for lead foot, but a lot of owners say scratches stick out like a sore thumb since there's no metal fleck to help hide...

Your truck still looks raked a little, so I'm wondering what slot are the 6112s set to? I believe these have 5 slots and they don't recommend using the top slot for SCrew, so I'm guessing yours are set to slot 4?

Bilstein 6112 leveling kit for 2021 F150?

Awesome thanks! I contemplated the 502A forever, but ultimately reached the same conclusion. It's just not worth the price jump from 501A. Your configuration demonstrates once again that adding a bunch of options destroys payload capacity very quickly. Getting nearly 1600 pounds on a truck...

Would you mind posting a pic of your window sticker or listing the trim level (501/502) and options your truck has? There are so many variables that determine payload capacity.

Thanks! This confirms what I figured. At least I'll save some money by getting a XLT!

Unfortunately, you do not have any payload package. If you did your GVWR would be at least 7000 lbs. So it seems I can only get the 2.7 payload package on XL and XLT, as I feared. I need at least 1600 lbs payload, so it looks like I'm limited to the XLT if I want the 2.7 engine. Thanks for...

Anyone who has the 2.7 V6 payload package, regardless of the trim level, please post pictures of your door jam stickers so we can see the payload and GVWR numbers. Thanks!

I don't see the 2.7 payload package listed on your window sticker. Please post pictures of your door jam stickers so we can see the payload and GVWR numbers, as they will tell the story. The entire reason I ruled out getting a Lariat was because you can't get it with the 2.7 V6 payload package...

This must be a Canada thing because you definitely cannot get a Screw 6.5 box with the 2.7 in the US... Unless yours is a Scab, not a Screw.

I've been following a "what are you paying" thread on a different F150 forum and it seems people are still able to get great deals on special orders, even with the semiconductor shortage. Apparently, Ford is now offering special order discounts to help dealers preserve their inventory and still...
