Well, sold the 20s from my truck. Feel pretty good about swapping to wheels I like better with tires that are in better shape and pocketing a buncha cash.

Calling that a win.

If you like them better that is a big win , I like the look of the 20s better but I like the fuel economy of the 18s

[ExtraSlow]

Yeah, I may be a weirdo for liking smaller rims, but I can accept that.

I also kinda like having two sets of identical rims stead if two different ones.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I like the aftermarket 17s I have over the stock 20s, but I also don't want to sell the 20s.

On a truck 18’s are the correct choice for all reasons.

Especially with 33’s

I love the look of the 20s on my 2018. The summer rubber is getting close to being done though so in the spring I'm hoping to buy a nice set of take-offs for cheap and then I will have two sets of wheels/tires. No more getting the rubber swapped over twice a year

This is not bad of a deal for 20s

[ExtraSlow]

Lots for sale right now. If you see what you want, jump on em.

its coming up to another truck time... and I for one haven't gone through nearly as many f150 as most here

I have a tendency to sweat my assets and both my lifestyle and my kids are reasons why... Its nice to have a truck that you can treat like a truck.

Being a 2014 with 260K (mostly highway)... I've not had alot of issues, but I do know that I will probably have to do a few things soon: IWEs, rear shackles, maybe some shocks and have not had major issues other than: Oil cooler return line from the turbo and my brake lines rusting out on the frame (not good)

My 1st gen ecoboost is good, and only am starting to get the cold start rattle if it sits over 24h when its cold and even then, only for a second... I do now start it by holding down the throttle to get it to spin up some oil pressure first. It is likely I'll have to do the timing chain, but also am considering maybe... just replace the motor with a reman'd one with the timing chains done and bolt over the components... or replace it?

I am a reliability guy first. It needs to be able to get me home/back on my trips out and in the brush. IMO... the latest in F150s have seem to have issues with the 2nd gen 3.5s, and some odd issues with the 2.7... and maybe less with the 5.0, but still... also heard the 10R80's are also hit and missin both the F150 and ranger.

I don't want the older 5.7 Tundra, but if I look at the reliability of my friend's trucks... and lack of repairs/let alone major ones... it almost negates the fuel economy differences. With that said, I know there are issues with the hemi, and GM motors as well... with maybe the exception of the 3.0 duramax, which seemingly appears to be the best half ton motor to-date.

anyways just an observation

the current gen 3.5 are pretty solid, lot of the issues are gone...

the current 2,7L have a valve issue that was just recalled ... the valves harden and drop into the pistons ...

The vast majority of 10r80 issues are software and getting fixed.

the duramax is my fav engine right now, my business partner has a very early 23 and it had a bunch of sensor issues out of the gate but has been solid overall.

the toyotas ride like shit and get terrible milage

But but but... Ford's are reliable! but! fuck!

[redline]

Why ford why … to get max tow you are now forced to get smart hitch ….

But on the ota side of things I am on 6.2.0 … and people are starting to 6.4.0

So they ended up replacing the iwe's on my 21 lariat. Tech says they were "falling apart" when he removed them. 40k kms

You must have been brazen enough to use 4wd once in those 40k. That's abuse, shame on you. Shame.

[littledan]

I thought the 4A button was the heated seat "4 ass" button so it stayed on consistently

Loaner for a week. test drive for the Herald. without a home charger, range anxiety is a thing. loses about 25km of range sitting out overnight and it's not overally cold out yet. but just as fast as the Trackhawk (typical electric car in that sense).

[ExtraSlow]

Can you slow charge overnight with 120V 15A circuit? Would be interesting if that "gets ahead" much or not. Considering most vehicles sit at home for 12 hours a day. Have you been using the bluecruise much? You should post an opinion on that.

i've got it below in our parkade charging on a 120V circuit right now. the dash told me it'll be 90% charged if i leave it there til wednesday at 1am. i laughed.....the only Level 2 charger here has two reserved 24/hr stalls (and they don't mean reserved for electric cars - some big wig is so important that he paid to reserve them both).
haven't had the change to use blue cruise yet ( in fact , just noticed it on way in today to work). i will definitely try out all of the toys. i'll leave some impressions after Friday when i'm done with it.

It's fun, but more of a toy than a truck (ok, i guess you say the same about my Raptor lol).

[redline]

Maybe extraslow can pull his trailer out of storage and do a tow test up and down Deerfoot to see what it does for range …

[arcticcat522]

Don't threaten @ExtraSlow with a good time.

[ExtraSlow]

I'm available and interested.
