Silver surferThanks everyone! Tires are 295/70 18, wheels 18x9 +18
Are you happy with your tire size selection? I’ve been going back and forth between 285/70 and 295/70 on the same factory rims and an Icon 2” level. What was the impact on your MPG?Picked it up last week. 2" Readylift and 285/70/18 Ridge Grapplers. Some before and afters.
Hi all. Long time lurker 2021 xlt
I can get 19-23 if I am taking it easy in town and on secondary roads. Long interstate trips max out around 18-19. I do an interstate trip that is about 25 miles with some town driving too and have been getting 21-22 depending on traffic.
welcome to the good side lol, nice truck!What’s goin on everyone!
New to the F150 world, and damn well happy to be apart of it!
Below is my 2021 ICONIC SILVER XLT EcoBoost. First picture is the day I brought her home, followed by a few quick shots of how she stands now (Minus the color matched painted emblems I just received in the mail tonight.)!
Looking forward to some good discussions and receiving solid information!
Any questions on the truck, please don’t hesitate to ask!
Thanks for looking!
HARDDone with mods for a bit
I love the wheels on there! Makes it POPLooking at the tracker statistics, it seems that regular cab 2021 orders are in the minority. I will put up a few pictures of my truck with hopes it will make any others feel less lonely. In a world flooded with crew cab trucks, I had to order mine after a long and fruitless search for 2020’s and even 2019’s. The majority had options that made no sense, or dealer add-ons that I wouldn’t have wanted even if they were free, like tinted windows (most of my driving is at night) or bed liner (I do a lot of work with metal and it just gets stuck on or gouges the liners) and I wanted the V-8 4X4 with 3.73 gears and 9.75 axle. The heavy duty payload package was hard to pass up, so I went with the 8’ bed and it still fits in my small driveway without any effort. It doesn’t look quite as long in person and in fact, I panicked for a moment thinking it was a short bed when I saw it from behind parked in the dealer’s back lot.
Unfortunately, Ford decided that several options aren’t available with the regular cab. I really wanted the LED headlights, 4A transfer case and sliding rear window. I would like to at least get the sliding window, then hopefully some information about adding the OEM LEDs will appear and maybe some day, after the warranty expires, I will feel adventurous enough to swap out transfer cases.
Unloaded, the ride is stiff, though comfortable and on the highway it rides super smooth and quiet. The steering is almost too light and doesn’t have much feedback at low speed. The brakes feel good with a nice stiff pedal. I haven’t gotten any opportunity to use four wheel drive but hopefully will next week.
Nice truck! And great choice in color! ??I know I am supposed to level up the front but I just pulled out the rear blocks to get the rake down to where I wanted it and the tailgate a few inches lower. I was set on Carbonized until I saw both in person and glad I went Iconic.
