New guy needs info on 2021 XLT.

[Trucky McTruckface]

Hey everyone! Great to see this place exists! I am getting a new truck but trying to keep it a secret and have no one to talk to... To start, I currently own a 2019 Oxford White F-150 XLT Supercab w/ XRT and FX4. It's my first F-150 and I've had it since September 2019. I love it. BUT the new 2021s are pretty neat. So.... I talked to my buddy at the dealership and we built me a nice shiny new one !!! Just yesterday (Feb. 26th) so I'm hoping to have it before summers end...

So what I ordered :

2021 Space White F-150 XLT Supercab w/ 3.5L V6 Ecoboost. Has the 302a package, sport appearance package, FX4, Max trailer tow, 360 camera, B&O Sound system and tow mirrors only because I think it makes the truck look bigger.

My Questions!!!

First and most importantly I have the 20" wheels and need to know what the most bad ass looking tire that would fit on there would be... Will be adding a 2" level and thinking of going about +12mm offset which I'm told is flush with the fender.

I'm also wondering if my aftermarket intake from my 2.7L ecoboost on my 2019 will fit on this one.

And if anyone knows if lightly spray tinting your taillights will mess with any sensors that'd be good to know too..

But I'm mostly here to introduce myself as I'm sure I will be browsing many of the threads and coming back with many more questions! Nice to meet you!

Welcome to the Forum, I think you will find this to be one of the best forums across any make or model. It is an awesome community!

I think you will have your truck well before summer's end (depending on when you order it I suppose). That is a really nice build, by the way. Most guys are running either 275/65's, 285/65's, or 295/60 tires on a 2" level.

You can see and read more in the 'Wheels, Tires, & Brakes' section: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/forums/wheels-tires-brakes.16/

There is also a forum post on tail light tinting here: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/installed-tail-light-tint.1701/

If the intake your purchased will work on the 2.7L and the 3.5L (universal), I don't think you will have an issue. Truck has changed, but the motors have not.

This is awesome, thank you! I was told I'm about 4 months away from getting it but I'm hoping that was an overestimate. I have the works surface, spray in bedliner and floor trays which I'm told are all part of the delays. That's ok, my current truck is still new to me and by far the newest thing I've ever owned so I can wait.

I've been browsing the site and can tell I will be here a lot. I can't wait to get it and share pics and ideas!
