Ya know... It's pretty easy to correct your tire size to keep your speedometer accurate with Forscan.

Ya i've thought about it, but I always check it with GPS speed and it's only off by a couple MPH at 80 which is close enough for me.

Congrats! You went with a 302A with a 6.5 box, correct? Sport or XTR?FINALLY!!!!! New truck gets built tomorrow, which means it's about a month away from my driveway. Quite excited so I thought i'd start ordering parts.

Went with a 295/70/18 this time around, which is 34.3 x 12 x 18. A "true" 35x12.50x18 measures out at 34.4x12.50x18, so this is essentially a 35x12.00x18. I wanted slightly skinnier as I was SUPER close to rubbing with the 12.50's, and want to make sure there's no risk on the new truck. (I will not put up with ANY rubbing, period.)
I'll be keeping my wheels from my current truck, and hopefully the airbags if they'll swap over. I'll also be swapping over my Bilstein front coils (6112's) as they only have about 18k miles on them, and will be ordering new rear shocks w/ reservoir (Bilstein 5160's).

Is it riding season yet?
Yup, and sport. I'll go dig up the order sheet and post it

I like the sport pkg. (which I have now) Just too bad you can't get it on the HDPP trucks.

Oh no. I might do something...
I found an absolute steal on a 2021 Lariat diesel (F350)...
I'm torn... I don't like the way they ride empty, but it would allow me to put the camper I want on it safely, and resale of Ford diesels is absolutely insane. I never keep my truck more than a year or two so not like i'd have to deal with it forever if I don't like living with it.
I'd throw some Carli stuff and 37's at it and see how she does. HMMMMMMMMM.......
I could buy it, drive it for a year, and sell it for what I paid. With that said, I'm not buying it because of that, but it is a nice perk.

I love Raptors, but they don't tow enough for me.
Just waiting for the accessories to arrive and i'll post pics, but without further ado... 2021 F150 Platinum FX4, 3.5 ecoboost, in Smoked Quartz tinted clearcoat. The color is what did it for me.
Oh, and the massaging seats. Lol.
