Retracting side mirrors
Did the 12's come out with the retracting tow mirrors? I want to put tow mirrors on but won't if they don't automatically retract. Tried of towing and can't see behind me.
Got my first speeding ticket in this bad boy yesterday. 1. Did you know the truck tops at 96 mph? Smooth as ever but that is it! Figures that out passing on a wo lane road and thought I lost power! Kind of scary. Never had a vehicle drop out at such a low speed. 2. Busted for 86 in a 70... By a female highway patrolman.... Fairly certain I got the ticket BEcAUSE I'm female. Lol.
Still looking into clearance lights for it. Got a huge promotion at work - officially the project manager now that they fired my boss, which means spending a lot more time driving my truck but not much free time. just need to drop it off at Ford for all the upgrades. Only been two years but she still feels band new to me. I'm still in love with this truck like the first day I got her. Best model Ford ever came out with, or I should say best generation. I see why they aren't in a hurry to change it.

I think it may depend on configuration and which tires you have. Mine came with the 20" Pirellis.
Yes nice trucks and well built.

Perhaps it the 16 MPH's over the speed limit.
