I still think the plasti-dip is a interesting option but I'm liking the chrome so never tried it.

Overall I’m happy with the Nav/mapping but huge labeling problem in Canada. Hwy 16 is labeled as the Trans Canada which it is not. Hwy 1 is the Trans Canada and hwy 16 is actually the Yellow Head. The mapping is also in error showing hwy 5 as the Yellow Head. More of an annoyance and can tell...

Mileage will decrease with leveling. However what usually kills the mileage is people often add larger rims and tires (heavier).

I have the 2.4 watt generator and have used a circular saw and grinder many times without any problem. I have a Honda 2200 watt generator and the truck generator seems just as reliable.

I used the same adapter. Nice and clean and very simple.

I learned something today. Thanks

I’m a huge fan of the larger tow mirrors. Not a problem going through a single car garage door if you have power folding. Only negative that I can think of is your mpg might be impacted slightly but i don’t think it would amount to much or anything noticeable.

Call me crazy but I still miss my Blackberry. I could actually type on that thing.

The News Tab on this forum. Even a pic of your rig. Sorry I didn’t mean to imply some big news network but I would rather read your thread than hear what they have to say.

This whole thread is absolutely fantastic and the admin must think so as well since you hit the news ?Thanks daemonic

Most of the higher level PB trims have between 1300 and 1500 lbs of payload and with a few passengers, cargo, extras they might be lucky to pull a 8000lb trailer. The Max Tow won’t hurt other than a few pounds of payload but at that weight, I don’t see the benefit. Just my thoughts. the new...

I get it. There is no disadvantage other than cost. For me the cost was too much as I wanted a Lariat, chrome and 18" wheels. When I added the Max Tow the cost was an additional $1950 because it added 20"wheels. For my configuration I would never utilize it. In most cases, I believe the...

Yup in your situation I totally agree.

I've stated this a few times but I don't believe there will be a situation where you can utilize the Max Tow with a power boost. If you enter the two VIN's in the new towing tool, you will run out of payload LONG before you can ever utilize the Max Tow. EDIT: I must admit these XLT's are not...

Don't even think of it. Just get a 250 or 350. Once you get the camper, you will need water, propane, camping gear (stove, chairs, dishes, linen....the list goes on). I've had a camper on a 250 pushing the limits and it was not fun. Switched to a 350 with air bags and then it got to be more...

I know on the lariat you can have 18” rims in the sports pac with the Max tow.

Checkout this thread. It looks like an amazing product and if you make a mistake or don't like then no big deal. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/factory-wheels-blackout-diy-using-plastidip.1387/#post-18364

Honestly, there does not appear to be a huge difference.

I had the same thoughts and passed on the Max tow as well. For me, I will run out of payload long before Max towing capacity. I also believe that if I needed to pull 12000+ lbs then I should probably be looking at a 250 or 350 regardless of the specs.

Really great job. First time I've heard of Plastidip . You have got me thinking of some uses. If I wanted to blackout my rear bumper or the chrome caps on my tow mirrors do you think Platidip would be a good option?
