When I built my ideal truck on FordDirect.com, I couldn't find any FX4s with the 6.5' bed during the inventory search. They all seemed to come with the short bed. I had the short bed on my 05 XLT, so I'm used to it.

I love the finish on the wheels, one of the nicest factory wheels I've seen (car or truck). I'd like to flip the tires so it's blackwall out, but I probably won't do that unless I get different rubber. Not a fan of Pirellis at all.

Hi Too All: What can I say other than "Drool"... The Red FX4 is just plain "Bad-****" IMO....
Happy as a "Pig In Slop" with my current "05" F150 (34K on odometer) So it will be quite sometime before I trade..

Nice looking ride there "ReForder"....

ATB... D & Ozzie

Update.....got some goodies on her now.

Recon LED 3rd brake light - this is bit darker than the one for my '05 and effectively eliminates any lighting of the cargo area..oh well.
Access tonneau
Rhino Liner sprayed in





Springtime plans are the Hearthrob exhaust, rear well liners, mud flaps, and tinted front windows...kind of hard to justify spending money on the truck when I'm still building this...

Thanks man.

Question...how's your towing experience with the FX4 been? Is it an EB? I'll be towing a race car a bit this coming year and was curious how the EB does in "real life" towing.

EB wasn't available in the F150 until 2011.

Yes I don't have the Ecoboost (yet), but the newer F-150's tow very stable, and it's very sure footed too. I'm more than satisfied.
