NO!!!!!!!!! We will not stop talking about oil consumption. Thanks, Guys for all your great content.
Agreed. Regardless of what they say or what excuses they have, it is a big deal when an engine burns oil. There's lots of new high tech high stress engines that don't burn oil.
Thank you. I’m sitting in the garage right now watching your video and I’m gonna run outside and check the oil in my TRX.😮
Thanks for the updates gents!! The only issue I have had with my 2021 F150 is the seat memory, not really a big deal.
My 15 has done that twice in 6 years. Really though, if the only issue is I have to press a button every couple years, life is pretty good
Our oil issues have passed after 12000 miles. We put the catch can to protect the intake manifold so in my opinion it’s a must. Look at it like a two stroke;)
Good video! Thanks for sharing guys!
295/60/20s are 34” tires and they fit with no issues up to a 0 offset on the 14th generation 2021 F150.
When I bought my new 2021 7 months ago they found me what I wanted but there was no only one in Canada with the options I wanted and it was 9 hours away in a different province. When I traded in my 17 f150, they ended up giving me a really good chunk of change for it so I made out really good on the whole deal
It is Sync 4. In 3 other 2018 and up vehicles we have, CarPlay has 0 issues. It connects every time, doesn’t randomly disconnect, doesn’t skip, etc. Sync has always been buggy. This is the best rendition of it though
I was gonna say the same thing. Sync3 has zero probs w AndriodAuto.
The issues people are having are all over the place. Using the same phone on Android Auto, I had issues receiving phone calls on a 2015 F-150 that I converted to sync 3. It also has the same issue on Brad's truck which is a 2018. The problem went away on my new 21. All I'm saying is that there are so many variables It's often hard to pinpoint the actual issue. There are tons of different phones on different versions of software and settings on those devices that people can change. Not as many versions with Apple products but still tons of devices and the software is different depending on updates and such.
Guess I’m lucky. I have a 2019 F150, 37k miles and it has never used oil. Put a catch can on it 1k miles ago with a Roush kit and not one drop of oil in the catch can yet.
Hay guys, received my shirt hat and decal, Thanks!! 62000.o on my new 5.0 2021 f-150 runs great luv it!!! down the road sometime will do the Whipple, what are you getting for mileage with the Whipple with normal driving ? Thank's George.
Don’t have to worry about the cylinder deactivation if you order a new truck. It’s an option now that doesn’t cost anything. X52 is the option.
Haven’t heard of wide spread oil consumption with coyotes with the exception of the 18 models in trucks and cars. The recall seems to have worked for the trucks though.
My 17 Gen2 is VMP boosted and it uses maybe 8oz in 3,000 miles.
Ford didn’t really fix any of the cylinder deactivation issues that GM had because it’s a very different setup being a OHC vs Pushrod engine so like y’all said time will tell. Honda has used cylinder deactivation on their 3.5 And they have had oil consumption issues. When you are dragging cylinders around running at different temps than the ones firing the chance of oil consumption is significantly higher so it makes sense that the Gen 4 truck coyote will use some oil.
The oil pan gasket failed after Whipple install on my 2022 F150. I was told the stock pan has too much flex for the Whipple. Any recommendation for an upgrade? Thanks!
Great video fellas! Here is how to fix all of your complaints: Buy a Superduty XL w/ 7.3 and 4.30 gears, and add the Carli Pintop kit, along with Whipple or Procharger... Superduty Raptor TRX killer.
Why in my 2021 f150 the miles to empty drop while I’m in idle but the fuel gauge doesn’t move? Then when when I drive the miles to empty rise back up. It’s a power stroke 150
❤Thanks for your outstanding video.
I have that problem in my 18 with the seats. Seems to be about once a month. Probably when automatic uploads happen
How come you don’t just vent the crank case pressure to the ground instead of the catch can setup still putting hot dirty air back in?
What kind of oil do I use I have a 2021 xlt 3.5 eagle boost
I would use whatever the manual recommends on a new unmodified vehicle.
This Has got to be one of the best Gearhead Channels on RUclips! It's very informative and entertaining, Better than some of the big budget T.V. Shows, plus two of the meanest street trucks on the planet !!!! What more could a Truck Lover ask for???? I'm Impressed...Good job brothers...B.T.W., I'M A FORD MAN... peace.
Thanks for the info I want to get a super charged put on my truck from the dealership and not void my warranty.
If you want to get serious about hi performance on your f-150 with a 5.0, have your Ford dealer install the supercharger kit, which also comes with a tune, and WILL NOT void any of your warranty.
Win-win! 700+ hp and an intact warranty!
Doesn't get any better than that!
Did not heard that you have had the axle nut problem. Has it happen on your truck or have you heard anyone having the problem?
My 16 never uses oil. My 21 has 4500 miles and came half quart from the top notch on the dipstick. I dropped to the bottom notch about 2500 miles so I topped it off. Not a drop since
Yeah, neither has my 15 or anybody else’s that I know that has a 5.0 older than 2018, I think that was when it started.
Not all 5.0s consume oil, those 2018+ do. My 15 has never had a drop of oil a day in her life
What's the name of the only company that can tune for performance?
www.livernoismotorsports.com/
Very helpful!
Is that a leveling kit or a lift? What size wheels and tires?
I have a Galaxy S21 Ultra. No issues with wireless android auto at all. I suspect the issue isn't the truck but the phone.
I have a fully loaded Lariat. Max tow package, 502a, etc. Bought off the lot for MSRP 2 weeks ago.
Congrats!
Wait for the camera issues lol…
Any issues with driver and front passenger side window rattle at interstate speeds with the 2021s? My new truck does it and so does quite a few others from what I learned by reading several Ford truck owner forums. Any info would be much appreciated.
I haven't had any issues with wind noise. I did find a piece of trim on one of the doors that was missing a tab and moves around a little bit. It hasn't caused any noise issues though.
@@BackroadDriver nfn
I camp- open,close doors a lot…or leave it open..I’m always afraid the lights will be left on.
any problems with the falcon shocks with 20 inch tires
Question does the wipple kit voids the warranty?
Yes. You can buy a replacement warranty.
That looks sharp!
Totally off topic here. Brad you cracked me up with whining imitation of haters. PERFECT
LOL
That’s part of your “reward” for being in public eye. Keep up great work guys. Really enjoy the channel
Go Vols and Roll Tide
Thanks Daleo! I was hoping y’all would like that.
The "big Chevy 6.2" burns oil like a 2 stroke as well.
Dealership in Minnesota, you can order a 22 F150 @ invoice with $500 refundable deposit. Hard to beat that now
Take that deal. That's about as good as you're going to get right now for sure! Thanks for watching!!
@@BackroadDriver
Yes, definitely. Placed order with them for 22 F150 Tremor 401a. I'm excited.
Keep up the awesome videos
You have a video of it towing with the supercharger?
Yep. ruclips.net/video/qem_NDBtnUw/видео.html
Sam, did you have your headlights and taillights darkened? Change them out? Got a space white lariat on the way.
Luxe tint
Is Ford doing over air updates. My Chrysler 300C received an over air updated which crashed my UConnect infotainment system that had my car parked at my dealership for 30 days. After my new system was installed. The android auto does connect when I start my car. My current issue is my phone shifts from the car speaker back to the phone and then back to my car. It's my phone. I know Ford and Chrysler uses different systems, but they both have issues. The more technology. The more possible issues. My wife's android auto in her 2017 Ford Edge Sport was working perfectly then a few days ago it stopped. connecting to Android Auto. I haven't had a chance to check her system, but I'm guessing it's had something to do with a recent dealer visit update and her phone. Great information I like that you talk about some of the rediculious items people talk about on UTube. Looking forward to your next video.
Sounds like Borla Atak. Nice.
We have some more exhaust updates coming up!
I have Ford Sync 2 and 3 now. They both sucked. Not surprised sync 4 is buggy as well. They don't exactly have apple engineers.
Mentioning the memory issue makes sense. Since I just realized my memory seats do go wanky from time to time.
Have an XLT 302A on order to be built Nov 9. I secured this for invoice. Most are MSRP or over. I still think this is way too much money and I'm thinking about backing out. Not sure what to do. Prices are insane. It can easily be 2 years, if lucky, before thinks come down, maybe.
Are you guys currently selling any of the trucks or will you build one for me?
What happened to just disconnecting the connection on the negative side of the battery? Does that not actually work to disable the cylinder deactivation?
Turns out it does not.
Yes. Disconnecting the negative side of the battery WILL in fact deactivate cylinder deactivation. It will also deactivate lights, radio, ignition, just about everything. I recommend you don't disconnect to the negative side of your battery.
What kind of oil did you use or recommend using on a stock 5.0?
Motorcraft is fine. Keep on top of it, and stick with 1 oil, they're all slightly different.
This was a great video!
I purchased 17" dealer take-off Raptor Wheels (+34 offset) and looking at 285/70's for tires, so just slightly under 33". I installed the new Roush branded Fox 2.0 leveling kit. So, I think the above wheels/tires should work just fine?!?!
What kind of oil do you use I have 4400 miles on my truck haven't changed the oil yet in my 5.0 Coyote I'm going to take it back to dealership for free oil change did you all get free oil change
Love the truck Sam ❤
Just installed 305/55r20’s on 20x9 +16 on my 2” leveled 2021 and it rubs. Just sayin to point out that individual results may vary.
Sorry to hear that. Where are you rubbing at? On the crash bars or on the air dam? What tires are you running?
I am on waiting list to get 2021 F150 lariat V8, do you recommend buying it? Or shall I change my mind and get something else? Thank you
It’s the most complete truck Ford has ever put out. I would wait it out and add a Whipple.
@@BackroadDriver thank you
What is your exact set up on tires and wheels ?
Does your Reverse Brake Assist work? Mine isn’t functioning correctly and I might have to take mine into the stealership soon.
I get an occasional error when I have the door open or something but in general it works. You might want to have that checked out.
@@BackroadDriver 10-4, also do you get a blue screen on some of your camera views?
Got my merchandise on Saturday and had to order another shirt in the right size. It all worked out because now the “Mrs RodFather” has a shirt! 😎
Hack yeah man! How do y’all like the feel of the material?
@@BackroadDriver love ❤️ the feel of the material, it just screams “COOL”!
Thank RodFather!
Great video! Has anyone experienced wind noise at 60mph or greater from the rear view mirrors? I’ve seen some forum posts and can make the noise disappear when I fold them in. Might be the gap where the fold hinge is. Any solutions?
It is worse driving into a headwind and much less when driving with a tailwind. No solution. It’s not any more than most truck mirrors. They are flatter and less aerodynamic than previous gens but more aerodynamic than tow mirrors.
Yeah iv got the tow mirrors on my 21 lariat fx4 and they whistle some times it's pretty annoying but it only does it when driving into the wind.
Been watching for a while now and trying to find the video on what you used to smoke out or tint your tail lights and part of your head lights??. I don’t see much online yet for the 21’s. Trying to do that to mine.
Where the hell is your oil catch can? Can you still have one when installing a supercharger?
Where did you get that antenna. I like it, better than my oem.
Thursday’s video will have a direct link.
Great video. Any thoughts on Hellwig f/r sway bars?
We have never added sway bars to any of our trucks. These Falcon Sport Tow/Haul shocks tighten everything up. I bet that sway bar helps a lot if you are running factory shocks.
What happened to the oil catch can you once had? I noticed its missing now.
It's going back on. I had it so tight I couldn't get it unscrewed without breaking something. I was days away from getting the Whipple installed so I just put on the original hose.
@@BackroadDriver I was wondering if maybe there was a problem with it. I have the same catch can on my 2021 5.0, so far it's working great. It does seem a little harder to unscrew at times.
great video, keep up the great work
Thanks Bill!
I have a 2018 f150 with a 5.0..does it have cylinder deactivation?
No it doesn’t
@@shaunlapp8177 thank you..didn't think so but wanted to know 🤟
Did you do a video on the top wrap .. I assume it's a wrap .. love the 2 tone color .. details?
Thanks for watching! Here's a link to the video. If you want to know anything about the truck, check out the build playlist on our channel. You can find anything you want there. ruclips.net/video/NaqnZ7o7Juo/видео.html
@@BackroadDriver Thanks!!!
Can I use the jlt catch can with my supercharger on my 2021 f150 ?
Yes. My catch can is going back on. I had it on too tight to unscrew to clean out right before I had the Whipple installed. I had to take it off to get enough torque to unscrew it. Just too lazy to put back on yet.
@@BackroadDriver thanks for the input your guys's video rocks 🤜🤛
Not a Ford fan but I do like the Bullet Mustang never knew about the oil I would if you would go up in wait from 5-30 to 10-30 or whatever it is? I enjoy watching you guys keep up nice work
Hows towing with the whipple
It's great. Video coming soon.
It’s a brand new truck, it shouldn’t use oil, period, you shouldn’t need some catch can or additive or whatever to keep it from using oil, it reeks of poor quality, I don’t know if the piston rings are improperly aligned or what but I’ve had clapped out old 302’s and 350’s that never used a drop of oil, crazy to buy a brand new vehicle and have to modify the hell out of them to make them do what they’re supposed to do from the factory
Are you using 5w-50 synthetic now with the whipple?
Yes sir!
New dipstick solved the oil consumption
Can we get a cost breakdown? I’d like to know
Hmmm. Good idea. Soon.
what is the offset of those wheels and do they rub at all? I have Falcons going on my 2021 this week and am wanting a wider wheel stance.
They are -12. The factory offset is -44. This will push the wheels out about an inch and a half. I'm running 305-55-20 ridge grapplers and I don't have any rubbing issues. My falcons are set on the level position. There's also a setting above that if you have a very heavy bumper on the front of your truck.
Livernois (pronounced Liver-Noy )Motorsports. It's a Michigan thing lol. We're almost Canadian in our speech habits.
Magnesium to make Aluminum? Those are two elements.
So the trucks are made from magnesium-aluminum alloy?
Magnesium is in most automotive aluminum. The truck aluminum is an alloy.
It is an alloy
What exactly is on the head lights to darken them up
It's a tint film made for tinting headlights, tail lights etc. It's fairly stretchy and quite a bit thicker than window tint. It is about a sticky as your average sticker.
@@BackroadDriver did u guys instal it or did u have them tinted. I thought I saw in a video that they were to dark. Im.assuming u changed the darkness on the headlights
I had Epic Designs tint them for me. They are in Karns. They used the mid tint color. It ended up being a little too dark to go over the headlights. I'm pretty handy with an exacto knife and to remove a section you just score a line without cutting all the way through. It tears away cleanly and leaves a nice sharp line. If you're just trying to tent part of the headlight I would say it's fairly easy to do yourself. Trying to wrap around all the edges nice and clean is pretty hard that's why I had the pros do it. Link to the material. metrorestyling.com/search?q=Luxe&type=product
@@BackroadDriver thanks much appreciated.
Oh come on fellas I love the sound of the Ford GT. I know some ppl hate the v6 but it still has its purpose and there's a market for it. Personally I'm thinking of a way to get a 3.5 eco (from a ford gt) Crate engine an drop it into a single cab short bed. That's 660 hp. An I'm good with that.
It took me 3- f-150’s in 5 years to finally figure out how to fix all these little Ford issues. All of mine had the same blank screens and issues. The new 10 speed was the worst. The cure was to buy a tundra.
Yuk....... you really took a dive there
Sam I love your truck and I'm not even a Ford guy LOL, but I'd sure have your truck
Thanks for Another Great Video guys! What do you guys think about the 2021 Roush F150 suspension and lift and also their exhaust modification? (Sadly missing the Super Charger this year.) I'm looking at one and trying to decide if I should pull the trigger or not. I'll be towing a small machine about 2500 - 3000 lbs at times and also a 23' boat, motor, trailer, approx. 4500 lb I'm coming from a 17 Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 with the 6.2 with the 8 speed trans. It's tows great. I didn't do any mods but would like a lift with nice tire and rims if I keep it.
The suspension is good. The 21 Roush exhaust has a few issues and makes a weird squeezing noise. They are still trying to work that out.
Is RAS still useful if only towing a 3000lb camper? Still have stock suspension so it'll have pretty crazy take unloaded I think.
3000lbs is in the grey area. It will definitely ride better, be less bouncy, less sag, and feel more solid. If you have concerns about how it feels towing your camper it will help. Not going to tell you to spend $500 if you're confident in how your truck tows right now. If you want more they will definitely help.
@@BackroadDriver I placed an order with your promo code! Decided it's worth it to make it safer on the road when towing. Got a couple cross country trips ahead of me real soon.
Glad we could help!
I might just go for it, I tow quite often. Nothing overly massive but a couple thousand pounds. I was towing a 5500 lb boat yesterday and noticed some sag.
My truck is burning a lot of gas. I have never check the oil.
So you know I have the 5.0, I expect it to consume some oil, but what do you consider "normal" oil consumption for that engine?
Maybe a quart every 5k. More wouldn’t scare me. Just by replacing what you are short between oil changes will add life and peace of mind.
@@BackroadDriver that sounds sensible. I'm wayyyy past that. Dealer did a TSB, didn't really help. Blowing through a quart every 1k. They're currently doing a consumption test.
That is horrendous! That’s enough to leave you empty between oil changes.
Yeah my 19 was using 2 quarts between oil changes. Did the update with the longer dipstick and all. Still used the same amount of oil. So it went bye bye.
@@patl8363 yeah...it's drank 3 quarts now, only 3500 on the odometer
Question! Got the same truck (color and trim), just ordered the Falcon’s, and picked up 20” Venumrex 603’s.
Can I get away with 34’s?
Not 100% sure. You'll definitely need to trim the front air dam. 295/60/20 should fit with up to 12 offset. Zero offset might be a little touchy.
@@BackroadDriver Hadn’t replied here. Thx! Going to give 295/60 a try
very enjoyable vid😍😎
Great content! My 2021 telematics modem haven't worked since day one of buying the truck since July 19! Ford customer service finally found a dealer with one so my Ford dealer could buy it. What a crap show.. no parts to fix stuff and like they don't care... Stuck with a truck that can't update ota, Ford pass won't work... Just terrible...
I'm feeling the pain of waiting for a new 2021 right now. Ordered mine a few months ago and should be built first or 2nd week of Nov. Current lease ends the 15th but at least they will extend till new truck arrives. Been looking at the RAS system but don't tow a lot. Already purchased the screen protector and pillar covers from your other video. The plants must be getting some chips cause I don't see all the trucks they had parked in the lots nears the Dearborn plant or Ford HQ(glass house)I probably won't put a tune in mine since it's a lease, only live about 20 min. from Livernois motorsports will wait till I purchase this one or the next one I get Keep up the good videos. Now need to go to your store page and see if you have that blue shirt available. Went first day it went live and only saw black and gray
Waiting on my truck to be made as well lease is up on the 12 of November should be made around the same time as yours!
@@Cheesepants1 I know my dealer said they will extend the lease and warranty as needed since a new one is on order and the problem getting parts. Just wonder if they are going to do month to month or something else like week to week Don't think my dealer knows how to get the vin on the new one only got the order # from them. If I had both I could check status of it
@@Kurt.24 from what my dealer said month to month I’d have to pay but if it’s gonna be build in the middle of November I’m not gonna pay for the month on the current lease only to drive a few days till the new one is made! I’ll get a ride to work haha
We may add some new shirts after this one sells out. Do you think people would wait a week for it to ship out if we made them to order? We can’t keep stock of every size for multiple shirts.
@@BackroadDriver Think most wouldn't mind waiting a week I order shirts from Nine Line and wait a month for them to ship. But they do tell you that they will not be made till a certain date. You would be able to offer a lot more and not have to stock much But that all depends on your shirt maker if they would do that for you
Wait......... my 11 5.0 doesnt burn oil.. is it a unicorn or somthing???? mine has a little over 254xxx miles.
I would call anything that doesn’t burn oil with 250k a unicorn!
@@BackroadDriver Fair point lol
I think that started in 2018, my 15 has never burned a drop in her life. Neither has my dads 16, my buddy’s 12, or another’s 15. I do know someone with an 18 5.0 that does, and that’s where I hear it started
Sir you are talking about about a decade difference in engineering lol
Does your exhaust modification void your factory warranty?
Any Cat-Back exhaust modifications should never void your warranty. If you modify the cats or headers then you may run into issues.
I have a 2013 5.0 with 120,000 miles and it has never consumed oil. Is this issue only with the newer versions?
I think some are just unicorns. They all use different amounts.
I think it is an 18+ issue. My 15 with 110k never burned a drop, my dads 16 with 1k idle hours and 75k miles never burned a drop, neither has my buddy’s 12 with 200k
@@americantrucknation4891 i have a mechanic friend who told me to hold onto my 2013. I think he's right.
I’ve noticed my 15 forgetting the memory a couple times in the past couple years. One time I clicked seat 1 and it went all the way back down and lied flat.
Ford vehicles have Alzheimer’s
I wouldn’t say that, once every couple years? That’s not even a complaint of mine, I just noticed
My 2021 XLT had seat memory problems. I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed it as having early onset Alzheimer’s.
Do yall like the odin or the whipple more can’t decide between each other
For what year truck?
Well its a 21 mustang gt with an a10
They are very similar. Odin is readily available…
All this info is great to know and the purchase road blocks and chip and magnesium shortage is unfortunately very real. Aluminum is gonna be a real shortage. I ordered a fully loaded lariat then decided to spend the money and order a over the top platinum in February. I buy alot thru my dealer and developed a friendship there that makes the buying process 20 to 30 min max and if I want the done at my house to satisfy the wife we do it there 10 minutesflat.. When I ordered it was a 6 to 8 week time frame then came the chips problem. I understood so didn't bug til September to atleast give me an approximate doa when the manager who I only deal with got covid and my salesman who just handles paperwork died the following week. So beginning October i looked for options. Then ford sends me a hugh discount from Ford for bland loyalty and an a limited time $1000 to finance thru ford. Then out of the blue the first truck finally came in. Sales Mgr forgot to canceled it when I changed to platinum. He said u want to wait but I don't think the platinum is gonna be uilt with all the chips needed for all the accessories u ordered so I took the lariat with the 5.0.. What a great great truck that rides like a Lincoln Town car. Love it but wished I'd have gotten the platinum still, but a bird in the hand is worth a platinum in the bush. Especially for the price I negotiated on the lariat.Today I could make $5,00 on that Truck td but won't sell it til smoke clears and I can order the platinum. And that will probably be a long time.
Got my first truck and it's almost the same as yours (pre-mods). 401A Space White Lariat with Sport Appearance. Couple extras added onto it to bring close to 402A.
I'm curious. I have a 2" level put on the front and 20" wheel. How do you check this to be sure BTW? What tires do you have and size? I want the largest and meanest tire I can get on my baby!
Might do some exhaust mods later on. Also, what are your thoughts on a cold air intake? Definitely going to get some skid plates, too.
Probably get the tires first then look into suspension. What is the suspension kit you chucked on there? They look different on the front than back. Do I see Fox?
Anyways. I've watched all your videos and I'm super pumped to make mine my own like you did! Thanks for the inspiration and tips!
Oh, and does your mod/cosmetic shop you mentioned in the video ship to Canada??

@@BackroadDriver yeah I've watched them. Thanks. Answers my questions about suspension etc, but not my more specific questions like how to measure lift and if the customs shop ships to Canada
To measure the actual lift or level that you get you would need to measure it before and after. I did and I gained two and a half inches with the Falcon shocks/ leveling kit that I installed. I installed the kit for the 2020 and below. They work just fine. On the 21 and up. As far as I know, the largest tires you can fit are 305-55-20 or 295-60-20. The first size is a 33-in tall tire and the second is 34 in tall. The 34 -in is just a tad narrower and still works. Those sizes fit with an aftermarket wheel that has somewhere around a plus 12 offset. The factory wheels are plus 44 offset. If you stick with them, you can fit a set of 35 x 12.5 x20 tires. I hope that helps.
I'm not sure if Town and Country Ford can ship to Canada because it's international. I will try to get that clarified.
@@BackroadDriver it helps a lot. Thank you!
leave it in tow haul or sport mode problem solved!
So you can turn the cylinder deactivation off by turning it to sport mode been looking at a lariat with the 5.0 but all that has been a huge draw back for me
Yep, sport mode or tow haul mode turns it off.
@@BackroadDriver okay the one I’m looking doesn’t have 4 wheel drive would it still have at least one of those modes sorry for being so dumb lol this is going to be my first fire since I was a kid
Ford
It will definitely have both of those modes. I've loved my 5.0 lariat so far. Cylinder deactivation is almost unnoticeable unless you add an aftermarket exhaust. So far there hasn't been any issues with cylinder deactivation. I know there's not that many trucks out there with a ton of miles yet though either. I think Ford took their time and learned from all the other guys. I don't think it will be the fiasco that it was for RAM and Chevy.
@@BackroadDriver I have been mostly a Chevy guy my whole life but I just don’t like anything they are putting out right now and I’ve had a few family members have nothing but good luck out of fords most specially the 6.7 400k plus on it and still going strong thanks for the replies I definitely will be watching and learning from your channel
Love the look of F-150 . Too bad they are so problematic.
Guess I will go with Ugly Toyota Tundra at least it well designed and built…. But hard look nonetheless.
If you get factory 20s are those 33” tires already?
Yes pretty much equal to a 33x11.50
@@thatguy-ye7pb okay thanks. So if someone is going with your width tire then at least a 2” lift would be recommended?
@@howardriggins4010 I have a 2021 FX4 with the 3.5 factory sport 20” and put more aggressive 33x12.50 on the stock wheels before doing my 2” level with no issues
we need a 96 bronco update
I just got new XLT 5.0 with no cylinder deactivation from ford I love my truck.
Does your truck got a 21?
2020?
Yes I have 2021 5.0 XLT 302 A package purchase in Indiana I want that supercharger. First truck I ever own new. I love it.
You have cylinder deactivation, just no start/stop
I don’t know, he might not. A buddy of mine picked up a 21 Ram 1500 Laramie Sport, due to the chip shortages he doesn’t have auto start stop, cylinder deactivation, heated rear seats or a phone charger outlet up front. I’m not sure what Ford did but that could be one of those trucks? No idea
Lol, go to a forum and ask that.
