I agree for me at least the 1.5" lift is just right to open up the wheel wells for a 245 tire, which from what I understand fits stock anyway. Beyond that I would be worrying about CV axle angles and stuff I don't want to worry about. I was hesitant to do any lift at all, however I really am...
I wasn’t familiar with the brand either, Motegi Racing, but I like the look! I did want to keep the black of the stock FX4 wheels.

Satin black wheels. I think I’m going to have a shop do a matte black off-road wrap in the center of the hood. Trying to decide if I should switch out the FX4 decal to black as well.
Cactus Gray is still my favorite color! I do have an Area 51 Bronco on order for 2023 maybe?! The non-metallic...
We bought a new Subaru Forester Wilderness last week. We paid a deposit first of December for one of two unspoken for inbound vehicles. The car arrived right when the sales guy told us it would be there through the port of Vancouver. Built in Japan amazingly. So in my experience you’ll have...
That’s something I’m trying to figure out. The tires for sure add at least .51 inches over stock, so right there around 9.1 inches clearance.
The question I have is regarding the lift. It’s a 1.5” lift, but since it’s a spacer lift I’m not sure this is equaling that much more clearance. I...
A few thoughts about my AWD XLT with 4k Tow and FX4. No lux or 360. I ordered first day in June and picked up late November. I just rolled over 3k miles and I am more in love with the truck than ever. It is surprising how much I am enjoying the Maverick. It's been a great ski truck and we took...
Mine is starting do the same thing possibly in a brushless car wash. I've never heard of FX4 stickers coming off on other Fords. My cheap window stickers never come off either. My sales guy says he only has heard of one Ranger with a bad FX4 decal. I can't get the service guys to even call me...
This is the medium profile Yakima set up so it isn't adjustable. Yakima does sell an adjustable height rack that in the lowest setting easily clears the cab.
A J type kayak holder might work if I moved the cross bars the six inches or so closer that is possible, but I think it would need to be...
I could smell a fairly strong odor from the engine for the first 100 miles or so. Burning off something. Kind of strange as I’ve never experienced that. Mostly noticeable outside the truck after parking in the garage.
Interior had a faint new car smell that unfortunately went away within a...
I have a Bedrug in my RAM 1500 with shell. It’s the carpet kind. I love it as it’s easy in the knees and I’ve actually slept in there with a backpacking air pad quite comfortably.
If you’re in a damp climate it could get funky if wet frequently. Mine is covered entirely by the shell but I get...
I’d be interested in adding the bed outlet as well along with the inverter. I didn’t really feel the lux package was worth it when ordering, but I like the truck so much I probably should have gone for it.
My understanding is Ford hasn’t made the kit available as an accessory as of yet...
Really well done. I like the cactus gray as it is understated enough to look really good with bolder graphics. And it looks fantastic with black accents!
The bathroom might be tough to fit under the weight limit. As you mentioned adding water in tanks increase weight significantly. Do you intend to tow in a mostly flat area?
Frontal wind resistance often causes a hit on tow performance more than weight, so you may want to look at a small tent...
I've owned a couple of black vehicles. I don't think I'd do that again. Whirl marks and too hot. I'd likely pass on red as well.
I've always liked solid non-metallic colors like Toyota's Cement Gray. We have a Cool Khaki Grey Subaru Crosstrek as well, so it was between A51 and Cactus Gray for...
I ordered the Yakima medium profile bed rack from Ford Accessories with the discount available in December. I also added the 36-64" side bars left at the length that came out of the box. I am extremely impressed with the rack and how it is working out in combination with a Yakima ski holder.
I...
We’ve had almost two feet of snow the last couple days here in the Wasatch and my FX4 has been amazing. I switched over to the Wildpeak AT3s as soon as I left the lot. I should have ordered the truck that way, but I like the black wheels.
While I’m experienced driving in snow, the slippery mode...
