RCSB Experience

[Vauxhall Velox]

I live in Canada and I ordered my 2024 RCSB 5.0 4x4 on the last day that Ford were excepting orders for the model year 2024. The deal that Ford was offering when I ordered my truck was employ pricing. That gave me $4,000 off of the sticker price. My truck arrived at the dealership approximately 14 weeks later and Ford then had incentives on the purchase of 2024 F 150s. On the RCSB that was $8,000 discount. When I took possession of my special order truck and paid for it they combined the two deals and I received a total discount of $12,000 off the sticker price. This was only offered on a cash purchase ,so I am not sure that you guys in the States are getting a very good deal.

Thanks for the compliments!
Bumpers are powder coated, I was hoping that would stand up to bugs, rocks, ETC a little better thank paint since they where chrome originally. They don't quiet match and are not as slick as the paint on the truck but maybe more durable.
I still have a bunch of stuff I want to do to it, but I do really like it. I did not get any pictures originally, I bought it site unseen when I found one on the dealer lot. They also did the seats for me with maybe a little to much red, but it has grown on me.

Your truck looks Fantastic ! May I ask what seat covers those are ?

Thanks

Thank you, IU ended up selling it in December, It just seemed to be a constant money pit and I decided to go a different rout. Anyway, the seats where Kat Skin leather.

Thanks for that info.
Was it maintenance issue 's driving the cost ? I've had six Jeeps, all ran for over 200k with hardly any issues. I bought my current 2015 Rubicon Hard Rock new. It just turned 209K without any major issues just regular maintenance. I'm a little worried that the XL, RCSB, 4x4 I've ordered won't be as reliable.

The truck was fine, maintenance wise. It ran great with no problems. I had over $60,000.00 in the truck and had not bought the blower yet. At least $6000.00 of that was due to the Nitto tires being out of round.
I changed out two lowering kits and wasted countless hours chasing a vibration that would never go away. By the time I bought the second set of new tires for the truck, I was done spending money and working on it anymore. The tires did fix the problem.
I sold the truck at a pretty big loss and called it a bad decision on my part.

Hmm,..
I've heard many times that the Nitto truck tires have that issue. I've restored dozens of classic cars. Invested ridiculous amounts of money, time and effort. When time came to sell, I lost money on everyone. Enjoy the ride and the experience.

Stay away from Firestone tires too. They are horrible and made in Costa Rica.

Yes if you're into RCSB trucks, and I am, this is the ONLY RCSB truck that comes with a V8. I ordered mine back in January '25 and got it in May. It's a very nimble and VERY fast truck. It came nicely equipped with the only upgrade option available plus I got 4WD. My only wish is that there were more wheel and tire options instead of the standard 17" wheels which look lost in those big wheel wells. And the single exhaust doesn't do the coyote justice. So, after about a year, I'm gonna pull out the rear spacer blocks (lower the rear by about 1.25" at no cost), get myself a nice set of 20" wheels and tires, and have a nice mellow cat back system installed with dual rear exits.
As for the overall performance, I wouldn't change a thing. This coyote equipped little truck is fast as hell.

Stick with the single exhaust if you value better torque as the dual exhaust will hurt low end torque and make the truck feel sluggish off the line. Watch the weight of the larger 20-inch wheels too. They tend to be heavier but even when they are the same weight, the larger diameter wheel will still hurt acceleration because the majority of the wheels mass will be further away from the axis of rotation increasing polar moment of inertia. If you're more into the looks of the truck, then I guess it matters less.

Here is a thread I made on the subject of rear blocks that may be useful for you. Rear Blocks Removed 2.0 | Page 2 | F150gen14 -- 2021+ Ford F-150, Tremor, Raptor Forum (14th Gen) | News, Owners, Community, Discussions
