As I am not a mechanical engineer nor a lawyer, so I have no idea if without the tow package does it lower your gcwr or create any additional legal liabilities if you tow north of 7000lbs w/o 53A or 53C and get into an accident. I think you're heading where I ended up. I have a 3.5L, 3.55...

I understand what you're saying, thats probably going to happen within the next few years. I guess I'm actually one of the folks contributing to them phasing out the V8s. That's really why I'm not buying a Ram, because the only real options they have are V8's. I'm buying the F-150 for the...

That's what I'm saying though, what will consumer demand be? Manufacturers arent going to want to keep producing both, production lines may be switched over to electric. So the only way to meet the demand of people who still need/want gas powered vehicles will be the used markets. Or yes...

I don't have my truck yet, but I assumed it wasn't coming with this feature...now I'm realizing it might. Is this screen something that comes up every time you drive? Or is it just in one special spot in the menu where, if you arent in it, you'll never see it?

Any idea if there's a tremendous wait time for Powerboost trucks? Or no worse than any of the other trucks? I've been told my build is happening the week of 2/7, if it gets postponed, that may give me the nudge I need to just cancel the thing and go the Powerboost/53a route. With a different...

I completely understand your point of view as well, I've been borderline obsessed with this issue through the whole process. I'm past the point of changes, they're supposed to build in 2 weeks. To be honest, I still consider cancelling the whole thing and reordering the same truck, just with...

Well put. I love everything about the Lightning, but that doesn't help me in February of 2022 when I need a truck. I'm building a truck I love, but I'm placing a cap on my spending with it. I'm considering this will probably be my last internal combustion engine and it's value in the future...

Yes, that's why I attached an image of the subtext they put in the Tow Guide, I'm painfully aware that they don't consider the 17t a "Tow Package" and say you can't pull more than 7,000lbs without the 53a. What I'm saying is, in 2020, I wouldn't have hesitated to add the 53a and move on with...

That's interesting, I'd be curious if you get a response. I did "chat" with someone on their website, she told me no upgrades in the 53a, but she was just copying and pasting quotes out of the Tow Guide. She didnt really have any unique information. I actually eventually just told the sales...

So glad to see this post, confirms I'm not crazy (at least on this topic). I actually got in an argument with my salesman over this and now deal with the sales manager directly. He kept pushing the 53a because of subtext #2 in the 2022 tow guide (page 21) saying you need the 53a in order to...
