I guess I didn't realize BDS was here in Michigan. Good stuff. :thumbsup:

Then appearances are deceiving. Only tricoat colors get the up charge. Definitely not a "standard" red.

It could be a multitude of reasons. From larger wheel well openings to different backspacing or offset of the wheel. All of these can determine how big a tire and wheel will fit.

This is very common, for every manufacturer. Hopefully the delay is because they've decided to update to the door applique location rather than the pics we've seen showing it on the door panel itself.

Chill out, don't get your panties in a bunch. And don't get all butt-hurt because I think the Auto 4wd is for lazy people or people who don't know how to drive in slippery conditions. Yes, I realize I quoted the guy who agrees with the guy who posted that he wanted it. Mostly because I didn't...

That's fine. You can disagree, but you would be wrong unless Ford decided to change the way they have ALWAYS installed them from the factory. Which is what we are talking about, not after the fact like your 05 Explorer.

Yeah....because I'm sure it doesn't add any cost to the vehicle..... Seriously, if you think you need 4wd put the switch in 4wd. If you feel the truck binding up as you turn, switch it to 2wd. If you don't know when you need it and when you don't, then you shouldn't be on the roads in those...

If it is ordered with the truck when new, it probably will be hard-wired just like all the other trucks are. If you want it after the fact, you can probably get the battery powered version.

I know, it sucks. Ford's ESOF is known to have issues after a few years and then you have to lock in the hubs manually. Many Super Duty owners convert to a manual set up once they need to service the hubs.

Tacoma guys will never admit their truck is underpowered. They deflect by changing the subject to resale value.:crazy:

No it doesn't and you don't need it. Meaning that if you are using your truck in a manner that requires it, you would already know about aftermarket companies that could eventually offer a package for it. Not to mention you would be a serious hard-core offroad player. :muscle:

Tailgates are much "heavier duty" than ever. Ford realizes people are getting crew cab trucks to haul people and sacrificing bed length to do so. Comparing my 2006 F250 gate to a 2010 gate, there are substantial differences in structure and weight. The same thing with comparing the 2010 to a...

Yes. Still is truly "one wheel" drive, meaning the power goes to the tire with the least traction. Turning in 4wd on dry pavement will cause binding due to the outside wheel turning a larger radius while the inner wheel tries to pivot at a slower speed.

$500 here. Rhino Linings or Line-X.

Your explanation is completely incorrect. Locking the hubs is for the front axle. An open differential causes you to stop in your tracks. When one wheel spins (on the same axle) you stop. A locking differential splits the torque between the two wheels. Eaton's G80 locking differential uses...

If you truly plan on using the 4wd for it's intended use, then yes. There is no way I would order a 2wd or 4wd w/o it.

I don't like the hood scoop.

Get one with zero deductible. It costs $50-100 more. At least it did 10 years ago when I sold them.

Pics of the mustang?

The date has nothing to do with what model year a vehicle will be. I've seen models released 8 months early and others 4 months late. Ford will do what they want to do.
