Thanks for clearing things up, i knew it was something along those lines...

 

Great to know, Thx!! Yeah I wouldnt go past 5K w/ a turbo motor, planning on Mobil 1 full synthetic, have for years, but dealer does first free oil change at 10K I think

 

Cool truck! That had to be a special order and may very well be a Heavy Duty Payload Package/Max Trailer Tow package. If it's got 7-lug wheels that will be a good indicator. Congrats to another XL owner!

 

Thanks, you are right, I forgot to mention it is indeed the Heavy Duty Payload Package/Max Trailer Tow package

 

You guys made me look, it does have 7 lugs per wheel

 

I figured it may, just will be a little less selection if you plan to change wheels at some point.

 

wondering what's a good /larger tire to upgrade to when the time comes, will prob keep orig wheels, mpg changes? Not worried about power loss, I'll prob never tow the max on this truck, maybe a 17' boat this summer, Thanks

 

I don’t know what sizes are 33” on a 17” wheel, but i like KO2’s and Cooper Discover AT3’s myself.

 

BFG AT's now, will get size info tomorrow, they have at least 70% left, I've had them in past on Toyota 4x4, wheeled the hell out of it and got 57K out of them

 

How many miles on yours? MPG? Issues?

 

Currently have a set of Goodyear’s, getting about 14 mpg now, mixed city and highway. They’re 275/65/18, next set of tires will be 275/70/18 ko2’s or the coopers...

 

The factory size tire for that truck is going to be a LT245/75r17 LRE. Hard size to upgrade without jumping to 18 inch rims ... and that probably won't happen with a 7 lug wheel.

 

it's got LT 265/70 R17 112/ 109s BFG TA's same w/ spare under bed

 

Holy mother of pete that's a long F150!

I guess that's the 163" wheel base? Looks like you're rated to tow 11,100 based on the Ford towing chart.

 

yes sir, ahem.....thats 11,300 w/ 3.73's and HD max tow setup
