I wish I had known you too were in Louisiana. I could have checked that truck for some goodies prior to being sent to the junker. Maybe they’ll put it in LKQ nearby.

This. I take slower routes intentionally for scenic purposes. If I go interstate, I stay at the speed limit. I’m rarely in a rush to do anything because I leave with more than enough time to arrive.

That the company is economic about their choices in an economy truck? That’s what it tells me. It makes sense.

You’re clearly a fun forum member. I’m so glad you joined the pack late.

Fender insulation might be an easy choice to go try out. My XLT doesn’t have despite being “luxury”. It’s decently quiet compared to my former trucks from the 90s, but it really pales in comparison to my wife’s crossover. The crossover and this truck are both unibody, so I might be able to...

I drove cars from the 80s and 90s with terrible sound proofing. See the car on my profile pic. I have notable hearing loss due to bad window weatherstrips and exhaust drones. With that being said, struggling to understand people as an adult in my 30s is frustrating, and I’d hate to put my...

I think you might be right. There’s not much to be done with the tires, but I will consider insulation options.

Not helpful for most. You have a common theme of posting unhelpful posts. Go back to Facebook.

Bumping for visibility, though I will say most things I want are acoustic dampening. More power would also be nice.

Bump, my kids are complaining about the cabin being too loud

Maybe less noticeable on the lower end (14hp lost), but on the higher end (25hp lost) and loss of power without the upper end of the tune would be closer to a loss of 50-60hp. I’d notice that amount pretty quickly! Also, this discussion about avoiding knock in a turbocharged engine, especially...

The one that came with the XL and XLT. It’s not great but it works.

Add better bolster to seats so that i don't feel like i am floating through turns. Sound dampening for doors and windscreen. Stop rattles wherever they exist. Better audio/radio choice, a system that does not require frequent reboots of the infotainment. Otherwise, I do not need any further...

91-93 octane is noticeably different than running 87 octane. In fact, it is tuned to run either or, but will provide more power at a higher octane. What altitude are you based in?

I'd love this in my truck...but I'd also love if Ford would give us an upgrade for our underrated transmissions. 260lb/ft torque max rating on a 277lb/ft. torque truck on the 8F35 is crazy.

I’m running 235/65R17 AT4/W now, instead of my stock Pirelli Scorpion 225/65R17. The difference between the tire weight is like 8-10lb each tire. Pretty significant. The acceleration and fuel economy suffered, but traction in all media increased significantly. In Louisiana, as a hunter wet...

I think it’s more me than the rest of the family. I’m all their weights combined.

Weight definitely affects it. I noticed a difference with my kids and wife in the car versus just me. The difference is almost 10%! It used to irk me when I wouldn’t get at least 25mpg, but then my friends with a Ranger were talking about regular driving and getting maybe 20mpg…I felt much...

It’s also dependent on so many factors. Could be altitude, temperature, fuel grade, fuel quality, etc. Just enjoy the truck.

32mpg is terrible? *laughs in ecoboost with large tires* I'm getting 21-23mpg. It's okay to get decent fuel economy...on a unibody truck.
