I guess it depends on how you go abut it. I have a 6" lift and 33s. Truck was built by an upfitter and ordered through Ford. FMVSS compliant, full factory warranty covering all of it, financeable and insurable. Part of why I went this route.
I thought I seen something about thiat in the owners manual, but can't remember.
Or it was in my moto manual. I know motorcycle specs are shady like that. They list dry weight, so not sure they account for any fluids or gas in cargo calculations.
I had my truck all of 5 days when the sway bar linkage snapped. Took it to dealer, it was a friday. Did not have part in stock. Told me I could leave it, or keep it and they would call when part came in. They actually made the call to RMT while i was there and got the order in. They told me the...
That's short-sighted thinking on their part. Low production=low customer count.
That's less vehicles needing maintenance-$$$
Less OEM repacement and performance parts-$$$
Less aftermarket parts sales-$$$ through licensing and partnerships.
I have a friend with a bike shop. He said he didn't...
That's an insult to Tonka! A friend told me my truck looked like a Tonka toy. And I thought "hell yeah!", and for a while I was looking for tonka yellow vinyl wrap and someone that could stamp me a new tailgate with T O N K A.
I'm not normally one to judge other folks mods, (I REALLY like...

Here ya go. For the price of the Bronco Raptor, you can have an Extreme for every day of the week, and two for Sunday. AND still have enoungh money left over to gas'em all up!
That is indeed a chicken. It's always fun talking to people on the mailland..."did I just hear a rooster?" They're feral here.
And before the parking nannies get their panties in a wad, I just parked there long enough for the photo op.
Bought my truck March 1st. I might hit 1500 miles by the end of this month. Working full (over)time, it's a daily driver.
Except my days off. Then it's all zoomzoom on my two wheeled bringer of death.
Isn't the point of making an appointment so that you DON'T have to leave it?
Maybe because they are low on lot stock, so they want our trucks to show off?
"Um, yeah...we don't have any rangers right now, but if we did, this is what it would look like".
Cause and effect. Supply is low, demand is high...folks willing to pay...let the gouging begin.
While Ford decries all the dealer markup, who's to say they're not taking advantage, and just simply hiding it in bogus higher prices.
Decked has a rail system for tie downs. Would be better if they sat further out, probably. But I only ever have coolers and camp gear to secure, so it works for me.
I'd scrap the center tie down/paracord idea. It will only cause frustration at some point. You'll have to pull the decked system...
I have that same camera, and got side-swiped on a narrow un-striped road. Had it not been for my camera, we both could have been found equally at fault, or I could have even lost, dependeing on who had the better lawyer. But because of the dash cam footage, other guy's insurance got to foot the...
