F-150 Lightning XLT Caught Undisguised on Public Roads

[F150ROD]

Dear Ford, I am willing to test drive, tow/get stranded, mall crawl, and drive 10 miles for the sake of R&D, let me know

I'd think the brakes would be commensurate with the weight and towing capabilities of the truck. The Lightning is about 700 pounds heavier than the PowerBoost, though it has a lower towing rating (10,000 vs. 13,000 pounds).

I think you are referring to the 19" wheel diameter, not the brake diameter. The brake rotors on the MachE GT are 385mm which is a little more than 15". The biggest brakes on an F150 right now (with max towing package) are 350mm. I think they will likely keep that diameter on the Lightning.

That‘s what I was thinking also when I watched a video a week ago where someone was testing the GT and he said that he was blown away at the size of the front brake rotors being 19 inches.

I don’t know if he’s right or wrong but that would be impressive.

I can send you that Youtube video info if you like.

I don’t know how to attach the video but you can go to YouTube and type in Mach E GT ridealong EXCLUSIVE with Dave Pericak

It‘s a video from the Roadshow Youtube channel and he’s talking about the rotors starting around the 2:00 minute mark.

I like the XLT's tailgate tailgate without the light more than I expected. I'm still thinking XLT for me.

I will upgrade to the 20 inch wheels on my XLT order.

This is the video where he talks about "19 inch discs" however there's no way you can fit a 19" rotor under a 20" wheel:

The Lamborghini Urus has the largest brake rotors on a production car, at least at the time of this article. They're "only" 440mm which is 17.3": https://drivetribe.com/p/lamborghin...Wya2Q965ZkEyHD7LUA?iid=OuWY_cxKRqu0FEqTpqVmog

Do you know what size tires are on it?

18 inch

 

[Stuff]

18 inch

He said tire, not wheel.

Hard to read but on that Platinum, guessing here but maybe 255/50/22? A 32? I wonder how much lift you'd need to clear 35s... sorry that's the Jeep owner talking. ?

And planning.

XLT with those wheels for me. I like the 12" with buttons for air all the way.

He definitely said tires, not wheels.
FYI, you don't have to be a jeep owner to be thinking about how to get bigger tires on your truck. I was already eyeballing the chassis design to figure what's going to be needed for the lift.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what is what.
