DUH! Its labeled "Tow/Haul" mode. "Towing" refers to some sort of thing attached to the hitch.... RV, boat, Utility trailer etc. "Hauling" refers having a load of ZERO to 1000 lbs of stuff in the box, cab or attached (racks) to the truck. I use "Tow/Haul" mode anytime I have some kind of...

Installed this one... https://www.stage3motorsports.com/s3m-21lk1-21-22-f150-s3m-23-offset-leveling-kit.html The offset maintains the camber setting. After the install following their video, the alignment shop just had to center the steering wheel. Truck has a very slight <3/4" rake when the...

I went with the Stage 3 Motorsports 2.3 offset spacers on my '21 FX4 5.0 The truck now has a 3/4" rake with an empty gas tank and 3/8" with a full tank. The install is simple, just follow their instruction video. Pull the caliper, rotor and drop the lower control arm at the inner attach...

Varying the speed is good practice for the all of the power train systems. But cylinder ring ridge is not one of them. The new motors are built with aluminum blocks and sprayed bores. The metal deposited in the bore is extremely hard and does not wear like the old iron bores. I have seen motors...

My '21 used truck did the same thing when I first picked it up. I used my Ford Performance CTEK charger to reconditioned the battery several times. Following that I have not had an issue. The truck will go into sleep mode after 2 weeks of waiting for me to drive it.

Using a 5.0 F-150 connected to my RV trailer wired with Li batteries, inverter, solar and the usual WFCO converter/charger. I chose to avoid the whole discussion of what will this RV do to the truck via pin 7 by isolating the truck with a 20A DC-DC charger. To my surprise this set-up is pushing...

The tip is part of the tail pipe. The tail pipes are the same parts for the Tremor EcoBoost, Tremor V8 as well as any F150 trim level with the Black package, EcoBoost or V8. I installed the factory dual exhaust ( muffler and the LH/RH tail pipes. They fit.... BUT they tuck up into the bumper...

You can activate front camera at low speed with FORScan changes. See the post for FORScan change and the spread sheet for FORScan changes. I enabled this on my XLT 302A FX4 when I added the heated steering wheel. Then its a button or two on the dash. Handy for parking in a small garage or...

One pedal is used when rock crawling and extreme trail situations where you would use the throttle and brake pedal together to creep and hold to gain forward progress when one pedal is not implemented. I believe it only works in 4Lo. And yes, extreme use does create extreme wear and tear with...

It was custom color matched using the PPG color deck with tint adjustment. The cost for painting was buried in with parts order and other painting (front and rear bumper).

The trim piece above the skid plate is the same part as the trim piece used on the Tremor. It is made from a plastic material. It is painted to match the skid plate at the factory for the Tremor. When ordered as part from Ford it comes as "paint to match" as are most replacement parts.

I get that... I had it mocked up with black masking tape on the skid with the as delivered black upper panel. Didn't go for the look. The whole thing just disappears under the truck. I went with the Tremor/Raptor look... Still an option with a little paint.

Finished my Tremor skid plate install back in Sept as part of my front and rear Tremor clone conversion on my '21 Rapid Red F-150 crew 5.0 XLT 302A SPORT/FX4. Up front... Installed the Ford Performance Skid plate kit from local dealer (2 week delivery plus 20% discount) and Stage 3 Motorsport...

Not any big change still getting 20 plus.... On long straight roads with no wind or hills and 65 MPH. Add head wind, hills, more speed and any stop n' go and it drops quickly. I believe the skid plate is better than just removing the air dam as it covers the front frame and suspension.
