Steel, or another metal alloy can also be painted to match the color of the truck. Or in the case of Pro, black.
It would be lame if it was just a plastic bumper cover, since insurance rates might go up, even if you never need the bumpers.
When I chose the F-150, I called for quotes from two...
I don't think that you even need a level. The wheel diameter is larger but the aspect ratio of the tires means that there is less sidewall height.

Hopefully it's been designed better for people over 5'10" has more payload than a minivan and has had a major powertrain upgrade.
One thing I hope is that they keep the manual transmission option but I won't be surprised if it's gone for good.
My early build '21 reg. cab always had the magnifying glasses but a funny thing happened early on in an update when the blue crewcab avatar on the screen turned into a silver single cab long bed. Which was a pleasant surprise.
I don't mind fixed running boards and steps, but I hate the power running boards and getting kicked in the shin.
Another advantage of no steps or running boards on your truck is being able to help the ladies into the passenger seat :cool:
The 4Runner I drive occasionally has K02 tires and I bel that they are the E rated ones.
The rating is less for the higher payload as it is for a tougher sidewall that can better resist rocks and debris while off-roading.
A higher rated tire won't help with your axle strength, so stick with...
A fair reservation process and the baroque relationship between Ford Motor Company and the automotive dealership cartels is mutually exclusive.
Combine the allocation discrepancies with supply and manufacturing minutiae between individual trucks and unless you have insider information, it will...
The information is out there somewhere, the payload hit from the giant moonroof is likely identical to the ICE truck, although with different GAWRs.
It will be interesting to see how the weight of the motor/transaxle and IRS compares with the live axle of the conventional truck.
Don't expect...
The Marxist in me wants Ford to build an affordable BEV pickup truck for the masses.
But as a Ford stockholder, I want them to charge as much as they can get away with before everyone and their cousin is building an electric truck.
Ford would sell the Pro without the option for doors if they could; just to keep people from buying them, while still being able to tout Lightning's low MSRP.
It's the same thing with Ford's towing and payload ratings, they advertise big numbers but the trucks that actually have them are never...
From back in September:
"If I had to guess, the biggest change will be the price! Base XL will probably stay the same so Ford can still brag about low MSRP, though just like Job 2 options, I imagine most options will increase in price.
They'll hide the extra $$$ in the packages and 20% or more...
That's exactly why I prefaced that statement with:
"...they are making enough money to eat some of the increased costs..."
It's all part of Ford's trim level shell game to make everything as opaque as possible! o_O
Did you compare the two units side by side and is there indeed a chip count...
There's huge inflation and somehow they're only increasing prices a token amount.
From various sources, they are making enough money to eat some of the increased costs but they recently started paying dividends again after suspending them when shit was looking bad.
Shaving features they...
According to GM, it's because of chip shortages; though that could just be bullshit.

I can totally see someone high up asking the engineers to shave features because of inflation and then when marketing asks what they're...
