i really like the sound of the exhaust - it isn't crazy loud and ridiculous for a pick up truck - just a nice grumble v8 and gets louder as you rev it out
yes
Yeah, i dont like a truck that is overly loud. Save that for the mustangs.
Great engine adds to it
@@mp40submachinegun81 amen
Yeah this sounds like it should. That Borla Attack was really too loud. I hope the neighbors are happy now. xD
Our favorite word of the entire video... “yet” 🤣😂
Heheh 🤭
Lol and btw 13 mpg for me is bad i give a line doe.
My guess would be the word ”pertain”
After tuning and adding 33s I’m at 14mpgs... 😐
Now that's how you start a Vlog!
Definitely
Heck yeah
Things you should know before lifting your truck and offsetting the wheels :
1.- Dynamics of the car gets worst, higher center of gravity.
2.- Gas consumption gets worst.
3.- Riding quality gets worst.
4.- Heavy erosion on your fenders and every single surface the wheels are projecting debris to.
Thank you
Tow rating goes down as well as stopping ability.
Your grammar is worst than Billy Madison in second grade.
Thanks. Never going to do that lol
As the proud owner of a 2006 Camry I found this incredibly helpful. Bottom line: you talked me out of putting in a lift kit. Thank you Sir, much obliged.
I like the lift a lot...tires sticking past the wheel wells I hate....a lot
I get that its not good for the truck but are you saying that you dont like the way it looks?
It’s actually dangerous. He needs fender flares so he doesn’t throw rocks and debris onto other cars.
@@jeffanderson7256 I don't like how it looks
@@jeffanderson7256 Both
@@atl3630 fender flares won't stop rocks from shooting out lol. Rocks shoot out mostly from underneath the truck. He would have to add mud flaps otherwise it won't make a difference
Haven’t visited the channel in a hot minute, been here since you had the fusion, good old days. Glad to see you’re doing good
Good bye to the paint with them rims
I saw a video where a guy with a widebody Hellcat was complaining about the exact same thing. Bigger is not always better.
That’s why you clear-wrap the bottom half of the painted surface. Or get fender flares
@@TheNuclearBolton he doesn’t have that
That’s only if he goes in places with rocks
Big tires are badass offroad and thats it. I put 2inch taller tires on my ranger and it went from 410 miles per tank to 340 miles. Kick myself everytime i fill up. Love the way that truck sounds!!
🤦♂️
I did the same thing with my Tacoma. It was supercharged and so fun and fast. Put a lift on it with 33” tires. Mpg went down, and it was slower. Handled worse. I completely ruined that truck.
Auto Blog, you hooked me with your past Ford builds that I followed some of your tips. I added a Rough Country 6" Coil-over Vertex lift on '19 F150 running 37x12.50/R20 with a -19mm offset. 3.5L Ecoboost does just fine.
Mike: This truck isnt supercharged *yet
Me: Ohh yeahhh
Haha I agree
Just picked up a 16 lariat at woltz and wind Saturday. Basically the 2016 version of this truck. Love it
Brother, youre making great money and a blogger, you can literally go wherever you want. You should move somewhere warm. We did that 5 years ago and absolutely the best decision of our lives. I would never ever move back up north. Its 100% worth it!!! I think what I like best about living in AZ is my vehicles staying clean 365 days a year!!! And never wearing a coat!
As a Canadian, i would die living in AZ cant do 110° heat all summer lol
You messed up a good truck. I knew the minute you drove off from TC problems would arise. You sacrifice ride for looks. Happy Truckin'!
I’ve got Fox shocks on my F150 and it rides good. Better than stock.
It’s really easy to bring your stock MPG back after lift, I first hand have done and owned it. 2004 FX4 crew cab with 5.4 V8. Ran 325/65r18 N 325/60r18 tires with 3.73, mpg sucked. I regeared it to 4.10 (I wished I went with 4.56 personally). Changed air intake to Air Raid Ram, tuned with Bank Power (I’d suggest to take it to your independent tuning shop to set your ECM to do much better than any programmer if you’re not worried about warrant). Since you’re running 35” tires, I highly recommend regearing it to 4.56, you’d be much happier with it and get some MPG back. My average highway cruising was 18 mpg, city 15, tow 27ft RV, 6,000 lbs boat, etc etc.
One of the best start for a truck video. Caught my attention. Even do I gave my daughter my 2019 F150 and kept the 97 Dodge SST.
Nice truck.
What up Mike? I was driving that semi that came up next to you near the Kentucky/Tennessee boarder the other week when you and the wife were driving to Florida. The truck looks badass!
After building several lifted trucks I could add an entire paragraph, but the biggest issue you left out >>>
ball joints, ball joints, ball joints....have fun !!
Ball joints suck lol
Ball joints really suck lol
I'd have a real tough time taking a hacksaw to my $61,000 truck.
Well take a look at what street speed did to his $100k trx
@@pjrodriguez9755 Streetspeed has more money to throw around
Exactly bro 😎 digital dash makes me not want it anymore I want physical gauges
Yup, especially when it is safety related (crash bars)
@@pjrodriguez9755 Yeah it's called making content. I hate SS717 but those TRX videos have gotten him 3.5 million views and roughly $65,000 in ad revenue already. He's making money off of doing stupid shit to his TRX.
Town & Country Ford is a great dealership. My son and I met Mitchell and he let us test drive one of the Roush Raptors last year. Maybe one day. My parents just purchased a 2020 Explorer from the PC dealership.
The only thing I don't like are the wheels.
Same.
The loaner truck looked better for me.
Truck is unbelievable. Just ordered a similar one. The 5.0L & 10spd auto are match made in heaven.
@@Carlo_C. no way brah.
Exactly looks bad
Thanks for your video as it confirmed my assumptions. I passed on buying, for the reasons you mentioned here, an F150 Lariat that my local dealership had seriously modified similarly to yours. Instead I bought a stock ecoboost F150 Lariat as my intended use was mostly long distance highway driving where fuel economy, range and cabin noise were considerations. Also, it needs to fit in a residential garage during hurricane events.
Yes my 2020 Raptor has those sun shields and the windows hit the shield in the upper corner. They say give it time to stretch out, but even in the hot Florida sun it hasn't gotten much better. I learn to just live with it.
Didn't the cops force you to get some fender flares for the previous f-150 to not have the wheels stick out?
Take it to streetspeeds and send it off the ramp!!!! It’s got fox shocks it’s totally prepared
Lol
AutoVlog Great Video I'm glad explained what it's like to modify a 2021 Ford F-150 Lariat Sport for people that need to know
What a badass truck! I still don't know why people bash ford trucks, they kick ass!
I use to get 18mph on the highway with my Land Cruiser. After the lift kit, bigger tires, 3 heavy skid plates, and a snorkel, I’m barely getting 13mpg to 14mpg on the highway lol!
Love the truck however the tires sticking out look makes look WAC, just my opinion.
A lifted truck with the tires not sticking out looks stupid af. It gives it stance when they stick out.
Seems like it also takes away from off roading capabilities, at least on trails and forest areas. Kind of seems weird to have such a capable truck (I assume it’s 4wd) and being full size, it’s already super wide and difficult to take 4 wheeling, but now you just made it even worse. Also, why the freak does someone have to drive so far to get wheels and a lift done? He calls it a “build”, i guess that’s the cool terminology, but this is just extremely basic modifications that any shop should be able to do.
A little tire poke looks good, but not that much. Especially with the MallCrawl wheels
@@KosmicHRTRacingTeam the tires sticking out don't make it less capable off road. I guess you forgot the mirrors stick out further.
@@illstplaya wow...
So when is PA gonna make you put wheel flares on it?
So in short the cons are
1- its too high with clearance issues
2- gas milage sucks
Ok we all learned something today
Totally agree with the weather tech they look great. The hole truck looks awesome
One of my fav channels. I remember when you got 100k followers, now it's next stop 1 million 👏🏼
My 2019 2.7 2wd STX. Stock was getting 19.6 mpg city. After wheels and all terrain tires 17.3 mpg. I just got a 6" lift last month now I get 16.2 mpg. Im waiting on fender flares. Hopefully gets a bit better mpg. Hwy before was getting 25 mpg. Now I get around 20 mpg highway because of the wheels and lift air drag. That 2021 interior though is 🔥. And your right. Your building it to your liking. 👍
SCA Performance Black Widow package - the best lift (and much more) I have ever had.
How is the “unleashed" speaker system in the truck? Is it worth the upgrade? Maybe you can talk about it or make a video on it.
It's garbage. I have it. The regular 8 speaker BO system is just as loud with more base.
Thank you for this amazing review. You save me troubles for the future. Honestly I thought about lifting 4.5", but now I will do just leveling to 2.3"-2.5".
Mike pls take off the plastic flap thingy below the bunker lol, it’ll make your look a lot bigger as wel
I just can’t get past how horrible those wheels and tires look sticking out that much. Slightly poking out can be tasteful but that’s just terrible.
Hater hahahah
@@francovargas3262 absolutely. I hate those wheels.
@@Ferdacode leveled with more aggressive tires would have looked so much cleaner. 2 inch lift tops all around. But on RUclips, conservative won’t get views.
I have the same fuel economy drop with the same wheel, tire and lift set up. But you will get the double take because that combo looks awesome. Enjoy your new truck.
You’re correct even with fender flares, you can’t exceed 3” past the body line for Pennsylvania Annual Safety Inspection. Got to watch how high you lift the vehicle as well there’s a minimum and maximum for both front and rear bumpers!
I have my Pa Safety Inspection license, I couldn’t even tell you how many trucks I failed for one or both for bumper height / accessories/tires excess 3” past the OE body line
You seem like a nice and honest guy so I’m going to subscribe to your channel....thanks for your videos buddy...Awesome truck it looks good ....
Great information! I just paid off my 2016 f150 and am in the middle of ordering wheels, tires and a leveling kit. Getting katskins aftermarket leather as well. Anyway, learning as I go.
Love the interior. Body could have been shakin up a bit more. But the air vents and new headlights are A+..Ur mods are sick tho. Absolutely love it!
I do not like the off sets and don't like tires sticking way outside the body,great way to ruin paint,but I do like your videos.Keep up the great work👍
The truck looks great! The state police don't bother with you out in Pittsburgh? 200 feet out my driveway and they're right behind me complaining about the stance. I have the same exact wheels and size tires.
You would get stoped in the UK as well , it would fail the mot test which all vehicles have annually after 3 years old.
Just get some flairs or roll the arches why bother with hassle and give the police reasons to stop you.
Oh I forgot. Bushwhacker fender flares on the truck now. All is good with the Pennsylvania's finest. I think I'll pass on the window tint I wanted. Not a huge deal. My looks scares women and small children but they're just going to try not to look in the windows.
I bought my 2020 F150 XLT Sport on dec 19th and i only have 998 miles on it. I wish I could afford to get wheels and a lift. Awesome video.
How many paint chips from spinning the tires like that? Time for some flares yet?
I cannot believe he did that with no paint protection. A fool and their money are soon parted.
🤮🤮
Next video title: "My 2021 F150 was PULLED OVER.....You will never believe WHY!!???"
Oh we know WHY...............lol.
I did think the same thing.. that one will come sooner or later. :D Actually i was thinking he would never make it home from TC Ford.
@@Dennis-om8so lol
This dude loves turning a gorgeous, reliable and fun truck into a truck that is the wet dream of every high school kid named Travis that drinks too much monster and has a sick dirt bike...
I love how he actually uses his truck
Thanks for all the input and appreciate the shout out to the great state of Texas 🤠
Your intro with the truck is awesome btw
I love the setup very much. But, maybe it would have been nice to keep the car stock for a month before it was modded to avoid boredom later lol. 😂 but I’m guessing you won’t get bored. I bet more mods are coming all round 😂
even cutting just the front crash bar is kinda sketchy. it's fine, until you need it. The truck stops worse and handles worse, lets make it less crash-worthy lol.
You should probably look up upgrading your gear ratio. Might give you better fuel economy now that you have bigger tires.
In my opinion you are making the truck just worse in handling and performance. I don't think that it looks better either. The cuts on the fender look like an amateur did it.
Like your videos keep up the good work
Agree. First one to *ruin* a 2021. The worst offense is definitely the wheels sticking out though. Looks bad. The exhaust sounds good, everything else is just eh. Also why do the same build as the old truck, change things up man
Throw the warranty out with this guy
The increase in height makes it harder to load items in the bed
Fantastic video. Thank you for all the personal experience included.
Next mod needs to be a Retrax cover for the bed with power opening and closing look 👀 into it. I have a 2018 f150 shadow black it’s a exact color match 👍✌️
Needs 18” red or gold method race wheels on 37” tyres 😎
The offset of the wheel is what made cutting the bumper and removing the crash bar necessary. I have a 2016 XLT with only a 2.75 inch level on it and I fit 35X11.50X20 wheels...only cutting i had to do was to the mudflaps. My wheels are inside the fenders though.
Didn't you get a ticket on the last truck for the tires sticking out? Congrats!!
PA State-related question for you... First and foremost Congrats with the new Truck /Build!
I noticed you have tinted the front windows to match the rears and I just wanted to ask if you have ever had any issues with authorities or passing inspection with PA STATE 70% regulations on front widows? I am a PA resident as well and would very much like to tint the front windows on my truck to match the rears which are factory 20%.
I live in PA and run modded vehicles for 40yrs or more...
They HATE tinted windows, tinted plate covers, blacked out tail lights and stupid loud exhaust. If you don't do any of that but are riding high with no more than 1-2" outside fenders, you'll probably be ok.
I have a 2018 F-150 with a 6 inch lift on 35s and 20x12s and mine is the same way, you can tell the weight of the wheels really bring down the mpg and HP. Also with the front bumper being trimmed, that's because on your old truck you had an aftermarket front bumper that was low profile, so it didn't hang down so low so the tires never rubbed on it.
Thanks so much for the info, I plan to modify my truck next year and this is all the stuff I had questions about. Thanks again!
FYI: Love the new truck
You need weather Tech floor mats... I love mine...
Husky is a great cheaper alternative for after market Mats etc.Got a full set for my 14 Fusion.
That’s up by the old gander mountain up in moon past outback and the old Kmart....moon zip code but I consider it Robinson.
Truck looks cool, not into the offset rims though, height is perfect.I think its cleaner when the edge of the tire floats out no more than a 1-inch pass the wheel wells....
Everytime I lifted my trucks, I installed taller gears in the rear and front diff and was still able to get 17-20 mpg with my 2007/2013 Silverado and 12mpg in the city and yes I drive 80-90 on road trips! And dont forget, you have to recalibrate your speedometer.
Not sure if you’ve already thought of this, but it would be a nice touch to have the Ford emblem on your steering wheel painted too. Just noticed this at the end. Keep the content coming! I’ve been subscribed since the Ford Fusion days!
Lifted concept just isn’t my cup of tea.... too many negatives vs function.
What do you mean
@@jrod2422ify if you have to ask then you’re blindly loyal to ‘lifted aesthetics’...
Gosh dang Mike I love this truck. Wanna trade? You can have my ‘15 3.5 eco😂😅
Nice reeves the exhaust sounds good
Bruh, has anyone ever told you that you have a cool channel?? Because you do! Good stuff as usual!
I don’t like when the exhaust is by the stand who knows someone might step on it getting into the truck but i love2x the truck
That new F150 pfff I love it I need a truck badly.
Sound epic . If only ver could get these in Australia in factory right hand drive . 150K over here once converted locally.
6700 rpm! Finally ford isn't restricting the f150 5.0s anymore. My 13 is gonna its limiter raised here soon
New exhaust for the raptor? And I think you should get a project car... aka mustang
Don't those tires kick up rocks all over the paint?
Was the resonator removed on your exhaust system and how was the Drone in the cabin coming home!
I can appreciate those who do these extreme suspension mods to their vehicles, but I’d never have the balls to saw important suspension and safety structures from my 2021 Ford F-150 XLT! Cool vids though.
Hope u got the heated steering wheel, so nice in the cold months
Beauty truck man sounds great! Mine will be here in 2 weeks and I can’t wait!
Mike you're the first person I seen that takes a brand new van and bet the crap out of it... Nice
I would preferred the factory option black wheels that he replaced with these ugly wheels
the factory wheels are ugly
@@Viacam wrong
The tires out past bodywork destroys paint. I’m in TX and dealers will kill trade value when they find the chips. The repairs cost them big and they now know to look. I personally like it as I make more money in my shop on ball joint and bearing hub replacements at way lower miles than seen with OE offset wheels.
Truck looks nice man, breakdown the cost of mods including the cost of truck be good to know.
My stock 2015 5.0 gets 16mpg. Pretty happy with it
Still looks good! I can’t wait to purchase mine
The intro alone got the thumbs up
Regear the diffs to get acceleration and mpg back
Tires stick out. Gotta love these people who don’t give a fuck about flicking up stones and destroying other peoples windshields. But hey: I am cool. I own a lifted truck so I a, all prepared when going groceries shopping.
I’m glad the uk doesn’t have a lifted truck culture😂it doesn’t look cool
You explain everything perfectly
Big thumbs up for that intro! 👍🏼🤘🏼💯
I hope they calibrated the speedometer for the different (larger) tires. Also, when you lift a truck, you need to think about your front axles and them no longer being straight and putting extra wear & tear on the joints.
Thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, keep it up the outstanding job, have a great day.
Congrats! The F-150 looks good!
my recommendation on the balancing the tires issue is look into balancing beads
Simple answer, don't. If anything lower it and put some nice fitting street tires on it.
I should’ve watched this before moving to PA with my truck. I just got a fix or repair because my tires stick out past the fender…
