Like many of you I had a couple accessories in mind when I bought my truck. When I found this forum, it was a massive help when it came to deciding what specific accessories to chose based on people experiences. What I didn’t know was WHERE to purchase these accessories. A quick google search...
Not all today, but I've done the following:
1. Ford Performance Coilover kit - front spring perch set to 2.5 inches.
2. Nitto Ridge Grappler 275/70/18 (33 inch tire)
Tires and suspension performed awesome on gravel/dirt roads after a recent rain here in STX. Thinking Ranch hand brush guard next...
I personally do not have experience with 3M, however my Dad has had it applied to one of his vehicles and really thought it was great. I think 3M has been in the PPF game longer than Xpel, as this was quite a few years ago, long before I heard about Xpel as a brand
I ordered. I have X plan, so I can't comment on how they would have sold it otherwise. I know this - they aren't charging over sticker, which is more than you can say for most dealerships in the area right now. Ive seen 60K XLT's (w/o powerboost), 52K STX's, etc...
So for those of you out there...
Had good luck with Gullo Ford in Conroe, that’s where I purchased my ‘21 Lariat. Can’t speak to the service department yet, as I haven’t had to bring it in for anything
I appreciate the in-depth write up @euchre_u ...I went to a place in midtown called AFS. Think they did an OK job. I think if I were to do it over again, I would get the full hood. I already have a chip on the upper portion where there's no PPF from my trip to Kerville last weekend...
Just checked on mine - most of them still had roughly a millimeter of give left till they were fully seated. Had a press a little bit to get them seated all the way, but all is well now. Thanks OP for pointing this out
This was a factor for me as well. A lot of chrome on the front, but I decided to do it anyways. My main concern was the hood, I hated the rock chips on my previous vehicle. To each there own I guess
The octane debate has been beaten to death, no doubt. All I will add is that the power figures Ford quotes for each engine are based on premium gasoline. You might also see a slight (emphasis on slight) increase in efficiency. Up to the individual to determine if this is worth the increase cost...
thanks for your input - narrowed it down to Bakflip MX4 and Leer HF650. Thought I wanted a soft cover but others on this thread have convinced me otherwise
