I don't know that anyone is fitting 33x12.5 (approx. 315 width) tires with no lift and no level. That's a pretty wide tire for a stock truck, to not rub when compressed at full lock. I'm pretty sure it won't rub when just driving down the street, but that's not exactly the definition of...

Super 8.8 (12 bolt) is standard with the 5.0. Looks like all Ecoboost 3.5's have the 9.75. Heavy payload and max towing packages include the 9.75.

Needs a roof rack mount. You can drive it up there on some extra long recovery boards :LOL:

You know, that just might be handier than a chainsaw...

All of the 2018+ F150 gas engines have dual port and direct injection.

Direct and port injection - it helps keep the valves cleaner, since with only direct injection no fuel flows over the back of the valves.

My 2019 5.0 crew cab 4x4 with 3.31 gears gets about 22 mpg on the interstate if I can keep my speed below 75 mph. My lifetime average is 17 mpg, including a lot of stop and go on my commute and dropping the kids off at school.

If you get the 2.7 and are concerned about GVW/payload, you'll want the 2.7 payload package. Without the payload package, the 2.7 powered trucks have a 400 lb lower GVW than the 3.5 & 5.0 powered trucks. Other than that, the 2.7 will move. Once you add the payload package, you give up a lot...

I'd get a much newer gasser for the same money as an old diesel. You'll have a newer truck with lower miles, lower curb weight, and higher payload capacity. To get a 5.9 Cummins or a 7.3 PSD, you're looking at a nearly 20 year old truck, at best.

Once you've loaded your rig and weighed it, and have your axle weights, the heaviest axle will determine the tire load index required to safely carry the load. If you stay within the MFG's GVWR and axle load ratings, then a tire that meets or exceeds the specs on the tire/load label inside the...

What I dislike about the BFG Trail Terrain, just from pictures, is that it doesn't look like it will move water well. There are no open channels in the out tread blocks, nor true circumferential channels to move water in moderate to heavy rainfall events, particularly in high speed conditions...

Have you had the tires on the Suburban before? I ask because it could be that once you pass 70 mph, the frequency of vibration from the tires, which is normally pretty unnoticeable, matches a vehicle frequency that sets up a vibration. I may not be describing it in exact technical terms, but...

What does the pole look like when in use - is the bend noticeable then? I ask because I have a 6 person dome tent with aluminum poles, and both poles have a section or two that are no longer straight, and have been that way for years. They're slightly curved now, but it's only noticeable when...

This right here. If the vast majority of your miles will be off pavement, or low speed secondary roads, the TW200's fat tires wouldn't be an issue, but those fat tires aren't great when you hit main roads with speed limits 55 mph and above. Dad has an old Suzuki RV125, which is the same...

I don't think Ford's issues are engine specific. My 2019 5.0 has been in the shop 42 days this year. It's been in for more unscheduled repair visits in 33,000 mi than my previous 5 vehicles in a combined 250,000+ miles. Nothing catastrophic, except for that one rainy morning where the entire...

I don't know about the F150 with 4A, but my GMC with 4A required a bit of a different touch in snow than what I expected. Before my GMC, I'd always had RWD (2WD) vehicles, and driving in snow required a light touch on the accelerator to avoid wheelspin. With 4A, if you wanted the front axle to...

Of all the truck makers, GM has consistently, for at least the past 10-15 years, put smaller tires on their trucks than Ford, Ram, Toyota, and Nissan. It's by small margins, but the factory tires are smaller by ~.5"-1" than other brand truck offerings. With a Ranger Tremor or Frontier PRO-4X...

They'll fit with a level. Pretty good chance they'd fit a stock 4x4 without the level if you zip tied the wheel well liner back. There was plenty of room on my 2014 GMC with 275/70R17s and no level. The issue is that many who are into modifying from stock want aftermarket wheels and wider...

I added the RCI steel transmission skid to the OE engine and transfer case skid plates. If the OE skid plates sustain too much damage, I'll replace them with RCI as well. I bought steel because it's cheaper. The OE skid plates were too cheap to pass up, and while they appear a bit on the...

LT315/70R17. The specific tire is a load range C BFGoodrich KO2.
