2016 F150 XLT, Upcoming F150 Lightning XLT
Hi,

I'm new to this forum, not new to F150's. Question, does anyone have a real picture of what the Lightning will look like with Avalanche (Grey)? It seems both colors will be available on the 23' XLT's. I have a good idea of what Rapid Red will look like, but can only take some cues from Raptor, Ranger and GT350 for the Avalanche colour.

I have my order in (I think) and tentatively it's a Rapid Red however I'm not sure if I like it that much.

Also, the AT tires seem to be good value but I was hoping if someone could let me know if the AT BSW are the Hankook AT2 or the General Grabber? I ask because the AT2 have the snowflake rating and would not have to buy additional snow tires as mandated.

Thanks

Rapid Red is metallic, Avalanche is flat. The pictures posted of "Avalanche Gray" may not be the same as "Avalanche" which appears to be whiter than the pictures posted.

I read the Lariat will come with AT's standard. I'm curious if anyone with an XLT who selected the optional AT's got the GeneralTires or the Hankook's. It's a $1000 option in maple syrup land vs $150 in the US. It's still worth it because a set of 4 KO2's would run me $2k.

I believe the XLT comes with 18" AT tires standard but am also trying to figure out what brand.

So in Canada they don't offer the 311A Equipment Group XLT, they only give the 312A XLT which will come with the 20s AS. The upgrade to AT is $1k. It seems like Scorpion's are also on the table as well.

It’s not standard I had to add them to my lariat.

Unless they changed it for 2023, AT tires on my Lariat were an option. For people in Massachusetts, this was a big deal because it lowered the GVWR that in turn removed eligibility for a big rebate. So most Massachusetts folks opted for the standard AS tires.

I checked between the .ca and .com site and you're correct. The Canadian site hasn't even been updated to 2023. Pro model is not offered at all in Canada either.
