I think Max Tow only costs more in payload and money w/o adding anything really relevant. You get a stronger bumper and bigger rear brakes, though I can't see how anyone can take advantage of that w/o being massively overweight in payload. I am also not as confident about the "upgraded" axle...

According to Ford documentation, you can't increase the rear axle weight rating by getting the Max Tow for the specs you gave. Though oddly enough, if you drop 4x4, you can increase the rear axle w/ max tow: 5.0L PFDI 4x2 145 w/ Max Tow 7,050 2,335 845 3,450 (Front) 4,150 (Rear) 2,748 1,963...

The more I look into the data and specs, it feels like I have more questions. There is a HPP frame for 145, though someone posted a HD frame sticker for a Max Tow + PowerBoost on this forum. If that doesn't have the HPP, I am not sure what build would. I wonder if this is plant specific thing...

The rear leaf springs correlate with the axel weight rating 3800 or less get 2, while anything above that gets 3 leaf springs. The Max Tow used to be a bargain for the EB, not anymore due to the price hike. Though having the max tow on the PB has very little use cases as most trailers at that...

So one of my last statements is incorrect, the Max Tow does NOT get the same rear axel as the HDPP, as the HDPP is rated at 4800lbs. The max tow that I have seen only 4150lbs. The only benefits you get with Max Tow is an upgraded bumper and rear brakes for a PB as it can't use the 36 gal and...

Wow, awesome man! You rock! Though I am utterly dumbfounded. If a Max Tow PowerBoost has a HD frame and not a HPP, then I have no idea what configuration that would use the HPP frame on the 4x4 145 SuperCrew.

There are a lot of ways to get 3.73 w/o HDPP. The best way is to get a higher trim or ask the dealer if it is a bug. There is no HDPP on the Lariat or higher, though you can get 3.73 with a lot of builds. In regards to frames, I wrote this up today. The only things associated with engine is the...

I am working on this matrix to see what frames go with what build outs. The Greens mean pretty much guaranteed to be that way based off restrictions in the build & price as well as different notes from different documents. I am pretty sure the details are accurate, but I could have made a typo...

Thanks for recording the information. Could you also do the following: 1) Saw you had a 100+ posts, so manage to find Payload: 1317 2) Found sticker here as well: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/finally-got-my-truck.868/page-2#post-10953 3) Take a picture of the PN sticker on the frame...

The frames are the following: LD HD HPP One of the spec sheets shows which wheel bases have which frames, but doesn't really show how any tow packages impact this. My only assumption is that the HDPP uses the heavier HPP. Seeing that the there are HPP frames for 145 WB super crew, this shows me...

Ignore that last part. :) I got it cheaper on Amazon, I would check Amazon first.

The PN for the 2021 is the same for the 2020, granted I only looked at the SuperCrew. Granted if you have the under seat flip up storage, it won't work. I ordered a set, though don't have a truck to confirm.

Asked this on another forum. Going with Husky X-Act mats. A lot of people weren't as happy with the weather tech as they put a lot into marketing and not as good of a value of the Huskys. There was one other brand, but I forgot the name. Also some complained the WT were slippery and edges can...

I haven't validated anything about the different rear axel of the Max Tow, though I haven't looked into it. The Max Tow should also come with the solid stabilizer bar. To be honest most of the Unicorn stats that the F-150 is bosting is pure marketing. By offering theoretical builds that have...

You guys sound like me last week. Spent hours looking into this. The only difference I could find is the solid sway/stabilizer bar in the Trailer Tow Package. Everything else I could find was identical, even the cooling. I ended just going with the Tow Technology Package as it comes with the...

Car audio seldom lives up to the name plate. From what I read it is better than the Sony that used to be in the truck. I only considered it for HD Radio. I listen to NPR on AM a lot. At sundown to sunrise they drop their wattage so I get a lot of interference. It is worst in the winter, due to...

When I first saw the sport interior, I said to myself "wow". I do think they should have an all black option as even the non-sport has a burgundy piping. I personally like the Sport interior, though I really like the 500A exterior, minus the chome rear bumper. My old man and wife aren't a fan of...

I am glad I am not the only one.

Taking a look at the 2021 Towing Guide, I see that there is no mention of any upgraded transmission, engine oil cooler, stabilizer bar, or etc for the F-150. Though these items are listed in the 2020 guide. I have been trying to figure this out as I am looking at the (17T) Towing Technology...
