The pictures may have been wrong and recently changed, but the order guide has always said chrome skull caps for Lariat and above, regardless of sport package or not. I think you are being unreasonable if you expect the dealer to make up for an error on a CG image on build and price when the...
Looks like the 2021 F-250s still have body colored skull caps on some trims. I used the Build & Price tool to build an F-250 KR in Antimatter Blue, and its tow mirrors had blue skull caps. As soon as we figure out if it is an easy replacement without breaking a bunch of plastic tabs I'll be...
1485 for a well loaded out PB Max Tow is very encouraging. I'll be jumping for joy if I'm around 1450 for my KR. I swap the power tailgate for your sunroof, and kept the standard 18" wheels, but do have the max recline seats. I guess I'll know in 3-4 weeks. If I'm in the 1450 range I may be...
The AutoBlog Suspension Deep Dive posted on another thread pretty clearly shows a vacuum line going to the IWE, along with a wire harness. So it is a new design, but it appears vacuum still plays a part in the actuation.
Not living in the salt belt past age 16 leaves me unaware of the current "rustproofing" products. The problem with any coating applied over the paint is that once that coating is compromised, lets say by a bunch of gravel repeatedly being thrown up from below, it then acts just like that loose...
Aluminum doesn't rust, but it does corrode. White powder instead of "rust" colored. Unprotected aluminum is just as bad as unprotected steel in my opinion, but I'm an airplane guy so I deal with corrosion on aluminum for a living.
Lariat and above come with the electronic telescoping mirrors, and as they are considered "up-level" they come with the chrome caps. The XLT and below have manual telescoping mirrors and get the all black appearance. It seems like as soon as they give you the electronic extension they force...
The fact that they are going with the same O.D. on the sway bar, just one is solid, versus one hollow tells me they have not significantly stiffened the bar. The material nearest the outer diameter is much more relevant to the overall stiffness than the material in the middle. If they really...
Would love to know this also. If you are wanting black, you may just be able to remove the chrome skull cap and reveal the black plastic that will match the lower half of the mirror without having to buy replacement caps.
If you ordered a truck in a color the 2020 Super Duty was available in...
I know the vacuum IWEs failed regularly, and I believe it was often the vacuum system that leaked and then eventually caused mechanical damage to the IWEs and the hubs, so movement to an electromechanical system is hopefully a huge step up in reliability.
But to order the tow mirrors you have to either order the Tow Package or the Max Tow Package, you cannot get them without one or the other, and the regular tow package used to be $1000 for even less equipment than you get in the Max Tow, making the old price of $1350 for Max Tow almost...
Yeah the 8.8" Axle pumpkin is a squarish shape pretty symmetrical from left to right, whereas the 9.75" Axle pumpkin is not the same left to right. It's hard to describe the shape. I was hoping Crapblaster got a shot of the pumpkin.
I'd really like to see if the axle part number on the stickers...
OK, I think we are all chasing down a rabbit trail and may need to stick our heads up and look around and look for a new perspective.
Other than the 4800 lb rear axle, which may in fact be something different than all the others, I'm going to throw out the possibility that there are only really...
Interested in that name too. Thinking Ceramic Tint might help preserve that nice KR leather by knocking out the UV and keeping the cab cooler. I've never done the windshield, but I'm actually considering it since the dash has that nice leather to protect too.
Yeah, maybe we can meet for breakfast or lunch. I go to the racetrack in Cresson as often as I can with my little fun car, and camp out in Brownwood from time to time, so I've passed through or by Cleburne a time or two.
Thanks Sonny. It might be a while before I have a truck to spray a liner in. I still don't have a build date on the King Ranch I ordered. But when I do I'll let you know.
On a another forum I frequent, the Lomax Hard Tri-Fold gets very good reviews compared to the BaKFlip which is by far the more popular brand. An accessory dealer there swears they have less warranty issues with the Lomax, and they are slightly cheaper to start out. They are easy to completely...
Sonny, what was the name of the place you had apply your Line-X? I'm in DFW, and I thought I remembered you saying you were in north central Texas in another thread? Thanks.
