Purchased new in 2025. Only used a couple of times on a Ford F150 with 6.5' bed. Sold the truck. My new truck has an 8' bed. It will fit any full size truck with 6.5' bed. In like new condition. Includes truck bed boot cover storage bag. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of it on...

Ranchhand Summit, part # FSF24HBL1. Purchased in 2025. Installed it on a 2024 Ford F150. Great Fit & easy install. Sold the truck about 3 months after it was installed but removed it prior to selling it. Virtually new condition. Located about an hour north of the Dallas / Ft Worth...

I have a 2024 F150 with the 5ltr V8. I'm pretty impressed with it overall. I'm hesitant to start off the line full bore because it seems like the transmission doesn't care for it too much, but that may just be me not being used to a 10 speed electronic transmission. However, at highway...

Suspension and travel - "softer" and a lot of travel for offroad makes for "squishy" and unbalanced towing or hauling, where stiff suspension and level ride is more important for load control. Gearing - unless you are rock crawling, you don't need the torque that is desired for hauling...

I've got an F150 6.5' bed. Don't think it would fit. Appreciate it though & good luck.

I don't have a tremendous amount of offroad experience but I do have a lot of towing/hauling experience. Typically the 2 are at odds with each other (especially with the newer vehicles) and they key is to find a happy medium. Simply put, the requirements for good offroad handling and...

Installed Ranchhand replacement bumper and 10 ply AT tires. Mileage dropped by 1 - 1.5 mpg on a 500 mile trip. Air dams (both powered and static) removed. Ranch Hand did not put any attachment brackets to replace either on the bumper for 2024 models.

Appreciate your input. I'm sticking with the truck and starting my "build".

Thanks. RCI skid plates look like a nice option. DO you mind telling me what you paid for them? How difficult is the installation?

I'm wanting to buy a shell of some sort. I'm not set on any particular brand or type. I do not want anything that is wider than the truck. It will primarily be for storage/ gear garage. soft tops are not necessarily my 1st choice, but they are not out of the question. I'm located in North...

38gal. I should have qualified that statement - unloaded on open roads around 65-70mph. I have put 9700 miles on the truck and the highest "miles to empty" I've seen after fueling was 747. To be honest, I never actually measured the distance from full to empty; I like what the computer is...

THanks. I appreciate y'alls feedback and it makes me feel a little better. THere are so many things that I really like about the truck, particularly the ride and the gas mileage. 700+ miles to a tank is awesome. Anticipate mostly dirt roads. no rock crawling or anything like that, just plan...

I recently purchased a new 2024 F-150 XL 4x4 with locking rear diff & 5.0 engine. I love the way the truck drives but after crawling around underneath it I'm concerned about all the wires for all the technology getting ripped off if I accidently run over something I shouldn't have and haveing...

Excellent condition. Meticulously maintained. New timing belt. Stock, no mods. Garage kept grocery -getter. Volumes of maintenance records. No rips/tears/ holes in Upholstry. Only thing wrong is the rear window washer nozzle is broken and I haven’t been able to figure out how to remove it...
