Realistically the limit is within reason whatever the GTW (gross trailer weight and MTW (max tongue weight) the installed receiver is rated for. I don't think Ford makes that information available. If you plan to push the truck beyond it's capabilities on a regular basis best bet is to replace...
A little trick I know that works at least on the AWD models because of the rear suspension system to increase the payload capacity to 1 ton is to add air bags to the suspension system. Just make sure the ones you use are rated for at least 5000 lbs. The other consideration is the tires make sure...
If you do add one make sure to place it where it has good air flow and/or has a cooling fan attached with a temp sensor to automatically turn on and off the fan.
It all depends how much towing you plan to do. You certainly can fit in an aftermarket auxiliary transmission cooler on these trucks but if you don't tow often or work the truck under load regularly the benefits of having a cooler won't be realized. That is longer fluid life because of the lower...
I use a giant push broom. Works great when you get a foot of snow on the truck but only an inch on the ground. They also get the job done for making walkways when needed.
Sounds about right. I just recently did about 1600 mile round trip run to pick up a 1 ton mini excavator I bought. On the trip back with the excavator I averaged around 13 MPG with ~3500lbs of weight at an average speed of 70MPH using tow haul mode. Even with the cost of gas and hotel room it...
The other thing to keep in mind is the rear suspension system. I don't know about the newer models but the 22-23 models used different suspension setups depending if they were 2WD or AWD. That was one of the reasons they didn't offer a 4k option without AWD. As far as the final drive gearing...
If you can't find a long enough tire spare bolt mounting screw with cap go to a tractor supply or equivalent and get rectangular or round metal stock or wood and a threaded rod then use a threaded insert or drill and tap a hole in the bed where you want to keep the tire. Either way the bed...
If you read the wikipedia page it is 2022 ecoboost so what would any normal person assume that trucks made 2022 or later had the 3rd gen engine. But you are correct the specs also tell the same story when you compare the bore / stroke ratios...
I am going to have to backtrack slightly here. I wasn't aware of this until now when researching out performance upgrades. On the 2022 and newer ecoboost engines which are used in Mavericks the gdi stands for gas dual injection not direct injection. Meaning they use a second injector for...
Yeah go put on a vented one on and try to get warranty repair for any thing related to the emissions systems when it is clear your can altered the air intake into the system. It is the same as putting a 2 inch lift on a truck then trying to get a broken cv axle repaired under warranty.
The cleaner I use is Liqui Moly Dijectron. They recommend adding it to your gas every 2500 miles. I personally do it right around an oil change regardless of miles. The bottles sell for like 20 - 25 on amazon. You can get them much cheaper on a motorsports or European car parts sites for about...
No the parts wore in is why. Had the same thing happen with my 2022 XL. Though it shouldn't be an issue this early in the lifespan of the truck you may want to start using a GDI gas treatment cleaner since the heads, injectors, valves etc. will gum up over time unlike port injection engines do.
Keep one of these outside the truck, hidden in the bed area or elsewhere.

More importantly practice with it on your truck before storing it so if you run into a situation where you do...
The parts beside wiring needed are the following and it is much cheaper to get them off of ebay and for the mirrors get aftermarket ones with the blis led and heating options already built in.
2 sensors

2 mounting brackets

part# NZ6Z-140189-A

If you signal, use your mirrors correctly and check blind spots then yeah this stuff is not necessary but let's face it lots of people these days don't. I am all for darwinism but not when I am the target for them to lane change into.
They don't but the wiring is different if the truck has door modules aka DDM and PDM modules. Also vehicles with these modules like high end Lariats and maybe any models that have power mirrors should also be of capable trailer tow coverage as long as they have a tow hitch, trailer light...
Cost wise this can be more expensive than getting the Copilot 360 package. If you are buying a new truck or even used just get with the package. Now in my case I have a 2022 without it that I am looking into adding this and the reason is to trade up to a new vehicle with CP360 is not worth it...
