Lariat with 3" Lift & 20"rims/tires
Looks great! I’m considering a lift and adding the Amp Research auto extending step sides. Which lift did you go with?

Picked up my 2021 supercab XLT FX4 with tow package and 301A trim level yesterday. Thanks to this forum I checked the tire pressure and sure enough it was set at 48 psi. Dropped it to 32 and the ride has improved but the handling is not quite as sharp.

I had way over-inflated tires too. Didn't discover it until a month into ownership when I decided to check the door sticker. Mine were at 42 or so cold. Is this a common issue I missed?

HI Dave,

It should be dealer predlivery, but rarely do the dealers set the tire pressure, Many, Many on these forums have had the experience. Only one was where I bought the Lincoln Nautilus...Dealer did it right.

Best,

I really think the Cactus Grey is a color you either love or go "meh". I got a compliment from the bank teller when I went through the drive thru yesterday... she said, "You got a new truck! I love the color." Then today I was filling up the tank at the gas station and I had noticed one of our township police vehicles was in the next lane. Next thing I heard was, "Hey!" I peeked around the pumps and the police officer said, "I like that truck. I really like the color!"
I've yet to see another Cactus Grey Ranger in my travels here and neighboring towns... lots of dark gray and the dark red trucks. Don't see one sitting on either of the 2 local Ford dealer lots. I kinda like having something different that you don't see up and down the road. On a side note... an F150 can hardly be found on the lots.

Got my grill, emblems, vents, and tailgate latch back from OEM Auto Art today and I think the chrome delete came out awesome! Super pleased with the look now. Glad to have the truck put back together. Let me know what you think ?

Also picked up my Cooper AT3 4S tires, so once the wheels arrive it’s on!

I have Bilstein 6112s (2.5” lift) for the front and 5160s for the rear but still need to install them. The truck will be level once installed, or darn well near it anyway.

Also waiting on wheels to show up. Supply is short. Discount Tire had 16 sets of the Coopers in California and 85 remaining in the country.
