Good to know, I'm taking a solid look at that now vs. Retrax. Thanks for the input!

Thank you! I love how big it is. I'm 6'6" and 270lb...it is nice to finally fit like a "normal person" in a vehicle.

Excellent tip...turned off already!

Here is my Carbonized Grey with the 7.3 and 3.55 with locker. Black package, Lariat ultimate, adaptive cruise, adaptive steering, moon roof, LED headlights, clearance lights, upfitter switches, 397 alternator / dual battery, heated rear seats, trailer 360 cam backup system. I’ve been stoked with this thing!

So far I’ve put weather tech mats in it, picked up a Reese cargo bar, and put on a quick 670 miles.

Leaning towards a Retrax hard rolling cover. Buddy has one on his Chevy 2500 and I very much like it. Other than that, considering a little tint on the front side windows, and maybe a few little FORScan updates (numbers over gauges).

There’s a lot of great info on these forums, I have certainly appreciated it so far!

I ordered the same color! Love it so far. I am going with the lomax tri fold because of the ease of removing it and having airbags installed mine is a Lariat F-350 with the 7.3/4.30

Looks awesome! I love the color. I have a 2020 Iconic Silver but if Carbonized Grey was available at the time I would have ordered it. Good luck with your new truck.

My sticker with the Tire and loading information says cargo and passengers not to exceed 4104lbs ford usually says 150lbs per seatbelted seat and then uses that as their cargo rating which would be 3,354. oops sorry I am not the OP and my truck is a F350 and has camper package

10k GVWR - not sure what truck weighs for payload, but a lot more than I’m going to use!

3.55 was just what I found. My camper will weigh 9k on the heaviest of days, I’m not pulling 13k on a 5er. I’m not too worried. My cousin has 7.3/3.55 to haul a 9k race trailer and loves it. I was more worried about it being heavily optioned to be honest. Plus this is a daily driver of about 5 miles each way. I’ll tow 8-15 times a year so I needed to just have something to buzz around in.

Payload capacity is on the yellows door jamb sticker.

As much as I like the brighter colors, they show dirt twice as fast as the lighter colors. The blackout package looks good on any color.
