  1. Bad Luck With Tires!!

    I've had many of the same tires on my research list for my arriving Lariat SuperCrew 4x4, so I appreciate you sharing your experience. The Michelin shoes are what I've decided on also....although I'm not 100% sure what OEMs my 18" wheels will come with and will at least have a look at them...
  2. Swap OEM tires at dealer on delivery?

    Wow.. that's a generous buy-back. I'm the same with the dealerships in town. One is close to my office, super convenient, but every experience I have had there is off-putting. Hard sales pitch, no follow-up, not very forth coming on some of the used vehicle details. I drive across town to the...
  3. Initial engine break-in period

    Good thoughts...consensus seems to be to try and vary the RPM and speed by working through all of the gears. I don't plan to tow initially anyway and likely won't get over 75mph regardless. Yes, the 1000 mile oil change for sure.

"Sorry, Honey ...just doin what the guys on the F150 site told me I...
  6. Swap OEM tires at dealer on delivery?

    I've never really paid attention to load rating on tires before. Does it factor much into daily driving or handling? I haul the odd bed of top soil or bark mulch, tow a small boat once in a while... certainly not enough to motivate me to buy a tire with higher load capacity. But are there...

  8. Swap OEM tires at dealer on delivery?

    Ok...might inquire ahead of time with a few local tire shops, as well as svc dept at my dealer.
  9. Swap OEM tires at dealer on delivery?

    Has anyone swapped/traded out OEM tires at the dealership on delivery of their new F150 for different tires of their choice? Not sure what rubber I'll see on my truck when it arrives in a couple weeks, so I'm thinking of proposing this to the dealer. Advice or experience?
