My Gloves, a multi tool, a Lufkin inside read folding ruler both wrapped in 2 microfiber towels. Then my personal favorite the hand sanitizer in the bottle holder.
Max tow give you a rear axle Ford has yet to come up with a PROPER fix for broken axle bolts. Being a Lariat check the towing box and the 5.0 will get the 3.73 rear locker axle that is the same rear axle that was used in the 13 Gen Max tow F150's. Safe a headache...
Never been afraid of admitting a mistake and trade off something questionable, Dumped a 6k mile 05, 5.4 F150, 6k mile 07 Tahoe(tried it, it was just WRONG for me), a 13K (13) GMC SLT (cylinder de-activation issues), 12K mile 16 501 Lariat (door Freeze ups) 12K 18 502a Lariat (Door freeze ups)...
Had Bosch Icon on the 21 but reduced the blade length to 21". Wife is still using the Bosch Icons put on at the same time on her 19 Escape have heard no complaints.
Going into the 2nd year with Goodyear assent blades which are still working good on the 22. Also went to a 21" wiper blade on these.
Had 235/30/22's on a 05 Magnum wagon and the ride was GOD AWFUL to say the least. Now back to running 245/45/20's and the ride is acceptable.
Really cannot imagine driving a F150 with 30 profile tires on it and having any ride comfort at all.
Owned a 21 302a XLT PB / 7.2 KW 5.5'bed for a little over a year traded it off for a 22 302a XLT 2.7 EB payload package vehicle 5.5' Bed. 2.7 EB with a 6900# payload rating and 3.73 gearing which is the same as the 3.73 gearing in a PB evens the tables.
3 years into the 22 2.7 EB and still...
22 XLT 302a 2.7EB with the 2.7EB payload Package and 1735 Payload. 2005Magnum RT Wagon on a U Haul Trailer.
Put your truck information in the U-Haul web site. If they DO NOT like the combo they will reject it. Main ISSUE is the door hitting the fender. Climbing out the window is no easy task.
YOUR BIGGEST question is do You need a Hybrid.
Had a 21 302a XLT Hybrid with towing which is all you need when looking at the reduced payload of a hybrid. Left it at the dealership for a 22 302a XLT with a 2.7 EB Payload package truck and now going into the 4rth year with just the F150 recalls...
Simple school yard physics with the teeter totter is used to answer this one.
To much weight on one side of the pivot point AKA rear axle reduces the turning and braking ability on the opposite side.
Payload is equally loaded over the axle. Tongue weight is figured at the further-est point...
Ford needs to fire all software engineers and hire Mechanical engineers and restart from scratch. Sorry folks Rams new head guy now pushing a RAM Warlock AKA RAMS version of the XL Rattler over the OVER HIGH PRICED Rebel ( The new 2025 Ram 1500 Warlock, a value-packed off-road-focused trim...
Owned a well equipped 21 302a XLT PB. Run Run Run and why are you still holding on. You best have a well thought out back up plan on how to get from point A to B without having to walk while it is in the dealership months on end waiting to be repaired.
Traded that POS for a 22 302a XLT 2.7EB...
