I really regret not considering velocity blue when I placed my order. That's a great looking truck.

Gotta say everybody, the stance of this lift/tire combo just works. Drives awesome and feels a bit more "truck" IMO.

I love this truck! I missed a 2022 order but I’m anxiously awaiting the order book to open for MY23. I’ve been going back and forth between the Velocity blue and Area 51.

love the picture with your girls, it’s awesome to see their excitement! My daughter prefers the Area 51, but she’s 33 so she doesn’t really get a vote LOL!

Your post may have just solidified my plans for the Velocity blue. Great looking truck - congratulations!

Much appreciated! Personally I like the velocity blue because it stands out a bit more. Makes the truck pop a bit in traffic.
Good luck with your order!

I did not address the spare. I did not opt for the “full size spare” option from the factory. Just running the donut at the moment.

I need to do more research on what size tire I can fit in the spare location and on the rim.

Nice! I have the same truck (xlt, velocity blue, FX4/AWD) sans the 4K tow package, looks great with the lift and tires!

How does it drive on the road and highway? Is it still tight and as stable as stock? Or does the lift make it a bit more floaty?

Still drives great! Maybe not quite as tight, but I wouldn’t call it floaty or loose. Drives a bit more like a truck if that makes sense. I love it.

Your children are cracking me up just looking at them lol. If we all could just stay that age. Don’t blink, before you know it, they will want the keys and start putting pink whale stickers on the back window.

Looks good, and I'm glad you are enjoying it. I will be getting my truck mid April, and I've got a question for you seeing as you have the FX4. What are the dimensions of the openings for the tow hooks? I am looking at putting the FX4 bumper on my hybrid and installing fog lights, and I want to know what size I can get to fit. Thanks in advance.

The openings measure roughly 7.25in wide by 5 in tall.

I asked this question to the dealer because I had the same concern. They said any lift less that 6inches would NOT void the warranty.

More to come on this. I decided that I don't want to have an actual full size spare to match the new set of tires on the truck. I have a new steel rim on order and will be sourcing a used tire from a local shop to put on there. My initial measurements indicate that there is roughly 15.5 inches of radius that can be fit in the spare tire location, so it should work. I will confirm and get back to you in a week or so.
