When I was reading the thread I thought to myself this would be the way I would prefer to mount an antenna. Is that the Starlink system? At home, I have starlink & router running off of solar. Looks like there would be room for a solar panel on this rack with the antenna, then a solar Gen in bed...
Will drive again in a couple of days and let you know.
My observation is that the 3.73 allows easy hills (not towing) that may would have to downshift with other configurations. And that, so far, my MPG is extremely impressive to me. I did one 1400 mi trip and I just didnt take the time to...
Yeah, it was amazing the differential when I changed tires; like a totally different truck.
For shocks, I am trying to decide if I want to put Bilstein or the Ford Performance kit.
For tires, I was going to go with the WIldpeaks. I had some on another vehicle and liked them a lot.
However, that...
Were the Pirelli tires this updated generation? I heard bad things about the previous generation.
And yeah, I was kinda leery about the 10-speed due to some of the posts I have read, and I can only hope it continues to be so, but to me, it works perfectly and finely tuned.
To be fair I was comparing with a RAM 3500 with airbags. I did own a Superduty back in the 90’s, but old age has made me forget what it rode like :) .
Not really comparing the ocean boat feeling (F150) to the sturdy planted feeling (3500), but the hitting of bumps jarring the whole body feeling...
Good to know that there may be some evening out with a few miles - or I get used to it. With the different tires, I can live with it and hoping sway bar will help on the cornering. Still probably gonna try some different shocks.
I was going to order one, and then this one showed up at a semi-local dealer…the only one I saw in the state, actually. It had just come in and no one had even test driven it. They seem pretty scarce on dealer lots.
I had the Wildpeaks on a 4-runner and they were nice in wintertime and rode quite well. And certainly gave a neat aggressive look. I was going to get those again, but the manager at Discount tire steered me to the Pirelli; we shall see how I like them after next winter. I expect with 300 lbs of...
I wish mine had of come with those. I have owned just about every tread out there, most recent were Coopers and Falcon Wildpeak. I thought I would give these a try; I don’t off-road much these days And wanted to preserve fuel mileage.

Drove over 1400 miles in one week.
It appears this 2.7 10-speed married with the 3.73 is a match made in Heaven. What was supper impressive when driving though lots of hills up and down constantly, is that the instantaneous mpg was only...
