The other problem with the diesel, if you’re just doing shorter commutes and not really working the engine, it’s harder on emissions and the engine. Diesels want to work and breath and my driving patterns weren’t conducive with that driving style. Maintenance costs are also higher which may also...
I’d say the road noise is very comparable. My wife commented on how quie it was in the cab of the truck driving at highway speed. I’m hoping it doesn’t pick up as much rock either ar the Ridge Grapplers did driving on gravel roads.
So far I’m extremely happy with the ride. Drives like a dream and nice not to have to run 60+ pounds of air to keep my low tire pressure light off! I know it’s an apples to oranges comparison between my F-350 Powerstroke but for the amount I towed and needed the diesel power the drawbacks just...
I’ve run Ridge Grapplers on my F-350 in the past but didn’t get great mileage out of them so switched to Toyo R/T’s. They seemed to be holding up better than the Ridge Grapplers. I liked the looks of the RT Pros and decided to try those on this F-150. So far they seem to ride well and the road...
Not sure but the shop that installed it said that Bilstein was the only one they would use on the Powerboost. Price was ~$1,250 out the door with level, an alignment and rear shocks. Took a few pics of the front end. I didn’t put a tape
On it beforehand but I’m estimating 1.5-2.0 inches added to...
Finally took delivery of my 2025 King Ranch Powerboost, 6.5’ bed. I had it leveled with a Bilstein kit and installed Toyo RT Pro LT285/60R20 tires. Not too much poke which I was the look I was after. Super happy with how it all turned out out and the ride. Thanks to all who have posted with...
Good to hear. There are definitely some appealing aspects to the PB. It’s nice that it’s been around for a couple years so hopefully any issues have been worked through. Thanks for the info and happy driving!
Are you still enjoying your King Ranch with Powerboost? I’ve had a Lariat on order since October of 2024 but am running out of patience. A dealer has a KR with the Powerboost and I’m thinking about giving it a test drive but still a little leary on the Powerboost.
I waited nearly two years for my Bronco so I guess Ford has conditioned me now. Not in a big hurry as I haven’t sold my current truck yet. Not even trying until I know it’s built so I avoid getting caught without a pickup for too long. Congratulations on being near the finish line. Out of...
Went ahead and reordered my Lariat that still does not have a scheduled build date even though I received my order confirmation on 10/26/24. I was able to reorder and keep my spot in line at my dealer and saved an additional $2,589. I did change from marsh grey to carbonized grey. After seeing...
I have a confirmation order number I received on 10/26/24. My dealer now tells me if I want to benefit from employee pricing I will need to cancel my current order and place a new order.
If I take delivery after the 6/2 date is the employee pricing still valid? The wording of Ford’s announcement makes it sound like if it’s on the lot and you buy before 6/2 the deal applies OR if you place a retail order (no delivery specified). My current deal is $500 over invoice, not sure what...
I had my order confirmed on October 26, 2024 for my F150 Lariat CC (502A) 4x4 but have yet to get a build date or VIN. My dealer is telling me the holdup is the sunroof. I’m not in a huge hurry but just wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation. Also, do you think the new employee...
