Love my Ruby Red

Nice, both of them. 1ags you have me seriously thinking. My 2012 3.5 is getting about 14 so I could handle that 7.3. Godzilla.

Real flex would be to re-badge as a XL model

Nice truck!

I have the 7.3 gas in a 2020 SD. I have loved it, I pull a horse trailer pretty often and it performs great. I don't understand why most not regularly pulling very heavy loads would not consider this big gas engine with the 10 speed transmission, especially the massive number of SDs I see in the suburbs.

Just this month I pulled a loaded living quarter gooseneck horse trailer to and from Las Vegas from Houston area. It pulled great, however if I were pulling through elevation changes like in AZ and NV more often I would absolutely want the diesel.

Looks good. I need new 295/65/20s on my F350 and was planning on either Toyo A/T 3s or the R/T Trails.

First time doing Toyos. I've been a big Nitto guy for years.
They're actually owned by Toyo anyway.

So far so good!

Are those tires loud at highway speeds? I like the look of them.

I drove to Edna yesterday and back, pretty quiet so far.

Time will tell

Purchased a similar XLT and want to do the steering wheel swap - did you just go with factory part PC3Z-3600-PA?

I actually swapped wheels again using a 2023 Expedition Limited wheel.

I just took off the buttons from my stock wheel and moved them to the expedition wheel along with the silver trim from the Expedition wheel.


Any wheel from a 2021-2025 F150, 2022-2024 Expedition and 23+ super duty works. troll eBay for better prices.

You just move your switches over.
I liked the silver trim and silver between the buttons so I moved those over to my stock switches.

Really looking to for a black wrap, but it is good to know there are some options. Appreciate the feedback.

Good looking truck!

I was eyeballing the same godzilla powered SD - but I was looking at the XL STX package. What features made you jump up to the XLT?

I like the power folding mirrors mainly which you can't get in the STX. But also with the XLT Premium, you get the passive entry, power driver seat, heated seats, digital cluster, push button start, body color door handles, available center console (I opted for bench since we have 4 boys), and you have to either select Sport appearance to black appearance packages.

Many of these features I could add later myself, but the delta wasn't big enough to justify buying the STX. The push button start and passive entry would require a new BCM and lots of wiring changes.

Good info, thanks!
