My King Ranch max tow has 18” wheels, fits the brakes fine.

I bought a King Ranch Powerboost max tow, avoided the same payload killers, am at 1572 payload. I love the powered tow mirrors for everyday driving…..

Perfect! clean & simple….

Divide by 4! Those weights are the total vehicle weight gain, not single wheel…. :-)

20’ wheels are 22 lbs heavier Pe Ford, plus 8 lbs for the tires; per Tire Rack, not big numbeRHS…

Avoid the power tailgate, glass roof, and 20” wheels if you need payload. My PB King Ranch Mac Tow came in at 1575 lbs payload with those omitted

Yes, the electric motor still runs in tow haul, can boost acceleration or short hills...

I am using EV coach to stay in electric mode as long as possible once it kicks in, huge impact on MPG. I find myself avoiding the 65 MPH expressway to work and driving hilly side roads at 40-45 MPH. 26.9 MPG best yet accelerating downhill and letting it slow down going up. Mileage is more like...

1,700 miles and absolutely delighted. The Ford engineers pulled off a hat trick for Gen 14. It does not drive like a truck; tracking on rough 2-lanes in high winds is serene, solid, and quiet. Handling feels great, not the lifeless / overboosted response of others I have driven. I bought a lot...

My 145” King Ranch Super Crew 4x4 hybrid had a base payload of 1830 lbs, delivered at 1572 Lbs with options. If I bought V-8, I would have had an additional 325 lbs payload, or 1897 lbs with options. A 157” super crew 4x4 V-8 base payload is 2135 lbs, or with max payload package (662) it has a...

You would need about 30” of wire to get to the bumper. 4-1/2 feet would let you install the weather protected box suggested by uavmx next to the hitch. ‘Could strap it to the crossmember of the hitch with the outlet face down, flush to the bottom of the bumper...

On second thought, I opened up the power box. It has a very conventional 220 Volt plug with screw terminals, and lots of open space. Simple solution may be a pigtail piggy backed on the screw terminals, exiting bottom of the box cover with a waterproof seal, and terminating with a 30 amp RV...

I pulled my ProPower box out of the truck bed while installing a BedRug today. The box has an orange high voltage cable and a smaller black signal cable. looking up from under the truck, the Orange cable has standard red, green, black, and white wires for 220 volt supplies.Perhaps a waterproof...

There appears to be a vendor issue; rear axle paint is generally thin, and none in some areas. I expect this will be fixed soon. I just painted mine, not difficult.....

The full length antenna is optimized for FM radio, lower end of the band. I was able to qualitatively test my shortened, 22.5” antenna. I regularly travel into rural Wisconsin, and in rolling hills 170 miles from the big city, my FM station at 91.1 MHz would get weak with static. My short...

I quantified differences of the two builds using Ford published option weights plus estimates. It appears that the power tailgate is a 45 to 65 pound option. The lay flat seats are likely at minimal weight penalty. Spreadsheet attached as .pdf

This is my build summary

Perfect! Our builds are pretty close and weight option differences are known except for the lay flat seats. I will make a weight table comparing the trucks & publish....

Nice! Mine is similar but Powerboost on 18” wheels, manual tailgate, 1572 lbs. it has lay flat seats; I suspect they are heavy.... Took CurryBobs suggestion and undercoated my (white) rear wheel wells, looks much better, & no wheel liner to trap road-salt Can we swap build sheets & figure out...

“Hal“ as in the computer from 2001 A Space Odessy. I spend a lot of time negotiating with my King Ranch over who is actually driving the truck....
