BAP Avalanche Gray 2023 F-150 Supercrew Lariat

[yikes]

Beautiful looking truck, and congrats! I've got basically the identical truck on order minus the exterior color.

Looks like you have a front camera and 360 view, but can't help but notice it looks like the washer for the front camera is no longer there on the MY23? Is it there? Can you post a closeup of the front emblem?

I’m leaning towards the 2.5” setting, there is quite a bit of rake on the max tow package trucks. I need to measure before I decide for sure. Plan is for some 20x9 Venomrex VR603’s with 285/65/20 Ridge Grapplers

First off Great looking truck!

I did a 2.5" level on my truck and I have the max tow as well. It set mine visually level.

Wait, You have a 2023 502 BAP with Max tow and were not forced to get the spray in liner? I tried to delete that from my build and was told they couldn't.

Grrrr. The only difference between our builds, at least as best I can tell, is the 5.0 vs the 3.5 EB

Maybe the engine choice was the reason then. Makes absolutely zero sense why that would determine why a spray in liner required or not, but Ford does some weird stuff with their options

Yes I have the 360 cameras. No washer on the front camera, I’ll work on getting a picture for you.

Are you familiar with Audi's Nardo Grey color? If so, would you say that Ford's Avalanche Gray is close to the same when seen in person?

That is it. I just went to the Ford Build site, built out the truck as a 5.0 with max tow and BAP. no spray in. I then changed to the 3.5 EB and the spray in was added. Who ties this crap together. Insane.

I have seen many lists of the "deletes" and the front camera washer has been on most of them. The video below touches on a few....(biggest one for me was the heated steering wheel...that one hurt).

Thanks for the video and 7 deletes. I feel like im going to be disappointed the more tech gets removed Dealer only told me about heated steering wheel and advanced security pack.

Why can’t Ford be like GM in this case and commit retrofitting all the removed items.

The first wave, was that my dealer told me about the steering wheel and the mirrors, and let me know that I could back out with a full refund if I wanted to. Then the mirrors got added back in. I was never told about the Advanced Security Pack, and only found that out when I could view my window sticker. That one isn't a big deal for me. And I had already deleted the Auto Stop/Start Feature anyway. But again, the heated steering wheel is something that I use A LOT. Just used it this AM. I'm in the Midwest, so its a feature that gets used routinely for maybe 4 months or more. Heck, I've used it in May...if we have a windy, rainy and cool day and you've been outside a bit, it's great to turn on, warm up a bit and then turn off if wanted.

I haven’t seen Nardo in person, but my wife has a Quantum Grey SQ5. You can see the stark difference in the picture below.

I picked up my 2023 F150 Lariat 502A from Granger last week. I made the trek back home to California over the past 4 days and totaled 2k miles! The truck was a joy to drive and held up very well to some not so joyful weather conditions.

Made a road trip out of it and visited Badlands National Park, Mt. Rushmore, Deadwood, southern Montana, and finally Sun Valley, Idaho.

The truck has the 5.0 with Max Tow. To answer a question that had been floating around regarding BAP…YES the 5.0 does come with the dual exhaust.

It’s a dirty mess right now but figured I’d post up a few pictures. I’ll post more when the truck is cleaned up.

All cleaned up. Bilstein level, tint, and Line-X will be first up.

Congratulations! Looks great!

Color looks a lot like Space White. I'm not sure I could tell the two apart. Would like to see them side by side for comparison.

Found it!

https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/thr...colors are very,Avalanche Grey shows more tan.

Want to thank you for posting these. Saw another Avalanche BAP this morning and (pending official approval) will be changing to Avalanche for my 24 order.

Cheers!
