Regular cab short bed 1/2 tons
- Thread starter Stormhammer
- Start date
I have a 2021 Ford F150 Regular Cab 4x4 . I ordered it last August and it arrived this December. It is a 5.0 V8, 9.75 rear end with 3.73 gears and a electronic locking differential. I ordered a Torsen differential from Ford Performance parts and had my dealer install it when the truck arrived. Now I have a short wheelbase "Baby" Tremor / Raptor and it fits in my garage. it's my hunting truck. Looking for a Camper Shell for camping. Here are some pics of the truck and the Torsen installation.

Does anybody know if there is a hidden winch mount for a 21-22 F150 with the Automatic air dam in the front? Also do any of you know what the purpose of the little black plastic things in the front of the rear wheel wells are for?
Here is a pic so see the things on the wheel wells.

That's a great looking truck! The black things are aerodynamic aids to help direct airflow around the rear wheels. I'm not sure about a hidden winch mount, but I know that the Westin tray on my 2020 F150 is the same part number that a 2021 uses. It's pretty compact, easy to install, and inexpensive.
Thanks for the help!

At around $40,000, the regular cab, 6.5' bed F-150 FX4 2.7L is a capable little package for two people:
- 122" wheelbase (good break-over, maneuverable)
- Locking rear dif and crawl control (good traction)
- 19 / 24 MPG, 23 or 26 gallon fuel capacity, (efficient with 430 + mile range)
- 1700 + lb payload
Add a leveling kit, tall skinnies, a lightweight pop-top camper and 10 gallons of auxiliary fuel and you've got a very nice little setup.

I've been enjoying my little truck. It's about the same wheelbase and length as my wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The Torsen front differential and leveling kit the dealer installed for me made it quite a capable little truck plus it will tow anything I put behind it. Your mileage figures are about right. It has a 26 gallon tank.At around $40,000, the regular cab, 6.5' bed F-150 FX4 2.7L is a capable little package for two people:

What level did you have installed? I thought it looked leveled, but decided that was one of the optical illusions of the RCSB since it wasn't mentioned.
It has a 2.25" level spacers...it had a lot of rake from the factory. Here's a pic with the factory tires and no leveling kit. I swapped the tires for 33" ...(ordered them) wasn't sure how big a tire would fit at the time...34's will fit .

Geez,that's really nice.
I made a few mods to My RCSB F150. First thing is to get rid of the aero tabs on the rear wheel well to prevent running over a stick and bending the rear quarter panel. Attached are pics of the Ford OEM replacements.
