I just did a build, and P225 R17 A/T and P235 R17 A/T tires are offered with the Lariat FX4.

There seems to be no difference in price. I am not an off-road guy, and never have been, so I have no idea how much difference there is between the two widths. Either way (225 or 235) you get the same tire wall ratio, which is important as well.

Honest question from off-road ignorance: are widths and tire wall height equally important?

Interesting. Selecting the FX4 Package and trying to add the 235 wheel gives me this:

Not about to add $795 and lose the wheels I like for an extra 10mm.

10mm is the difference in width. The 235/65R17 are 1/2" taller than the 225/65R17. You can easily add 235/65R17 after the fact for less than $795 installed, even the same Wildpeak AT3Ws don't cost that much.

They said the tonneau cover is open, but didn't have a tape measure.

Bed Rail height is 4'. Width of top plastic rail ?, height of return lip back down to bed? and gap width back to the exterior? then I can draw a picture.

Also photo of end detail at gate, as well as the transition to cab.

Thanks so much!

wow wow wow... that is loooowwww . I measured my F150, I'm used to sitting at about 36 inches off the ground. This is only 28". Very well may be shopping for a 4-6 inch lift kit.

Also, thanks for the pics!

Yee haw partner.

You do get legit A/T Wildpeak tires though-

Hmm, I used to go in the opposite direction when I used to jeep. I went with bigger tires for a bigger footprint for more traction. Including letting air out of my tires to fatter them up more for sandy trails.

Bigger tires yes, but if you use large diameter wheels with narrow side walls you aren’t going to off road too well.

You might want to consider total cost of what you wish to accomplish. If you are in Salt Lake City, you are also 4300 ft above sea level. That needs to be factored in also, (2% for every 1000 ft). Also 20% buffer to be safe. Have those parameters been considered in your calculations?

1. what comfort level of trailer do you need over the life of the trailer (10 years) Trailers are not going to get cheaper because they are experiencing the same type of shortage problem.

2. choose the tow vehicle to fit the trailer.

I could spend $40,000 and get a trailer that could meet the requirements of the Maverick. $40,000 Trailer + $28.000 Maverick = $68,000 total OR $24,000 Trailer + $34,000 Nissan Frontier = $58,000 . You now have 10,000 to spend on the difference in lower mpg. BUT, you also have more power, less strain on the engine (V6), greater choices in travel trailers, a safer all around experience. I am looking at ordering the Shasta 21CK. It comes in at 3890 lbs dry weight. I will also be getting weight distribution and anti-sway equipment. This keeps me safe as I can possibly be.

If you go beyond calculated limits your insurance may not cover you in the event of an accident. You may also be ticketed.

I am still going to get a maverick, but the hybrid version for intown driving.

How does one lose towing capacity @ elevation with a turbo'ed engine ?

 

[TripleOption]

Are you getting a Lariat or Hybrid? If you are getting a hybrid then you lose some of that storage space for the 12v battery.

I'm getting an XLT. AWD version so no storage lost.

$200 a wheel after purchase price, remove/install/balance- Not that I really want to pay more for 235/65/17- I think the 17 Alloys that come with that upgrade suit me better- Just my 02 cents

 

[Jasperw229]

Would the loss of towing capacity at elevation be negated by the turbo on the 2.0 ?

No, specifically the f-150 ecoboost is the truck I know this applies to. Watching TFL truck it sounds like Ford says that for all their vehicles.
