Smoked Quartz Platinum - Leveled - 285/65-20's

[05RubiconLJ]

Finally picked up 'Smokey' last week and have just been too busy to get some photos posted. Great truck and really happy with the color, the stance, and all the bells and whistles. I am formulating a list of likes and dislikes, but I will post that later.

Just joined today, I think I may have messed up my first post. I'll try again. I have been reading on this site for about 3 months. I learned a lot about extended warranty's and PCO. I got one and will get the other hopefully next week if my truck shows up. I was looking for some information on the Yokohama Geoland A/T G015 tires. Wanting to know how you came to buy those tires over other brands? I have been looking at those. I may go with a 285/75/18 or a 298/70/18, using my daughters 18" sport wheels. If her truck ever gets here, she ordered on 11/15/20 still a month out. My other choices would be Faulken A/T 3, and Toyo A/T III. Any info would help. Thanks Geo.

Sweet truck - level/wheel/tire combo looks great.
Playing the waiting game on my KR in SQ and pics like these don’t make it any easier!

Your pics aren’t screaming the hints of blue that I have seen in other pictures. Do you think of of it as just a cool gray, or something more?

 

[05RubiconLJ]

I think it is light dependent, but it more blue than gray, for certain. Most places I go, including the dealer, writes 'blue' down as the color. I poured over photos before I ordered it, as I wanted a blue truck, but didn't want Antimatter (too dark). I was really concerned that it was going to just be another version of gray and the dealer had never seen one (at the time). I have never seen a photo that does the color justice. It is stunning, in person.

You are right. I went to a dealership this weekend to see one. It was awesome. Definitely strong blue undertones. It is the best "blue" right now for an F150 IMO. AMB is too dark and the others are too bright for me.

Beautiful truck. What are your thoughts on the RC leveling kit? Not sure what way to go for a level.

 

[05RubiconLJ]

The RC kit was the dealer's preferred kit. Seeing as they were going to warranty the truck and their work, I let them put on whatever kit they felt most comfortable with. I drove the truck prior to the level and could not feel any discernable difference in ride when I picked it up. I have not experienced anything, thus far, to make to believe that the kit isn't solid.

This is a beautiful truck. I have close to the same spec and am selling as I took delivery of my Raptor: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/22-smoked-quartz-powerboost-f150-fx4-2900-miles.14667/

Anyone interested?

@05RubiconLJ - Your setup looks great. I am a fellow Platinum Powerboost Smoked Quartz owner. Love my truck and I am needing new tires. I plan on moving up to the 285/65/20 as well. Could you provide a quick update on how you feel about the Yokohama Geolander A/T two years later? I do mostly freeway/city driving, not much intense off-roading anymore, but I don't like to get into the mountains, and I live in Utah so I need tires to be above average in the winter. I am stuck deciding whether to go with the Yokohama Geolander A/T, Toyo Open Country, or the straight highway all-season of the Michelin Defender LTX M/S. If I go Michelin, I will probably drop the size down to 275/65/20 for fuel economy purposes. On a previous F-150 I ran BFGoodrich K02s, but my driving needs have changed at they don't make sense anymore. Thanks for sharing your setup and happy driving.

In case you change your mind about the KO2s, I basically have the exact same set up at the OP, but I run KO2 on 285/65/20
