Thanks. Just got a call that they are confident I will not need a new bracket and it should be good to go. They are testing it now. They are only going to charge me for two hours of labor which seems reasonable and out of character considering they have a "fair market adjustment" on every...
Someone backed into my truck, no note or anything. Barely any damage at all. But the sensor that controls adaptive cruise, pre collision assist and I’m sure other things was ever so slightly cracked.
I ordered a new sensor, took it in to be programmed and now the dealership is having a hard...
Very nice. I had a soft rolling cover on my last truck. I have been leaning towards a folding, like the bakflip, but nice to know this is an option! Any idea how much it weighs vs. a folding cover, like the mx4?
Well I guess I need to determine if the stronger axle (with no resulting GVWR increase), the rear bumper (how is it upgraded?), the third leaf spring and the rear sway bar are worth the $900. I would think in the real world when towing, yes. But, that is at the cost of my payload.
So if max tow doesn’t guarantee the beefier axle, I’m having a really hard time leaving it on my order. I can get the 3.55 and larger fuel tank for $900 less on a platinum build. What am I missing?
I was going to buy a 250, but they are just huge. I wouldn't be able to park in my spot at work because it is too tall. Length is an issue for me as well.
I would probably consider the powerboost if it fit within my payload needs.
Nice! This looks really close to my order except I plan to forgo the fx4 and add max tow. Should be pretty close to this number based on my calcs which is perfect!
Boy, this is making me rethink the max tow package vs ticking the regular tow package. Would love to see two identical trucks one with and one without.
I went a drove a few today, took photos of the payload and window stickers. One was a 701a platinum with the moonroof and 5.0. Second was a 501a lariat, moonroof and 5.0.
Thank you for the feedback. I should also say that I only have the passengers for potentially two weekends a year when we take the miata to destination tracks. So with the miata instead of the m3 (2200 vs 2900 lbs), might be a lot closer. Need to do some more exact calculations on spares also. I...
Thank you for the feedback. Stuff like this is super helpful but really makes me wonder how ford gets to a 14k towing capacity. WTF are they towing to be able to fit within these specs? Neither here nor there.
Just a bit more about my plans for the truck. I do want the big sunroof, but willing...
I regularly (12 times a year on average) tow a race trailer with a miata or my M3 to various race tracks. I plan to order a '21 F150, 4x4, EB, 5.5' box, lariat, 502a, max trailer tow package. Here are my calculations, which lead me to believe the f150 is the right truck for my needs, vs. an f250...
