A little late on posting this, but I hooked up a trailer for the first time last week. Had to haul a parts truck a few hundred miles. The trailer was way overkill, but all I had at the time. Total weight was approximately 6500#. The trip down we loaded a pallet of plywood to give the trailer a smoother ride. Unfortunately, there was a bit too much tongue weight. But we didn't feel like down stacking the plywood on the side of the road.

Overall mpg was a hair over 10mpg both ways. Each segment I was hauling about 6500#. The ride north with the truck was quite a bit smoother than the ride south.

 

Hahahaha, I did not plan it this way at all. I had been drooling over a Lariat or Platinum since my good friend bought one and to be honest I never thought I was going to be able to afford any version of the truck, then I woke up one day and said what the heck, YOLO and I drove down to dealership and I was blessed enough to get this awesome truck. I am not sure how much money I am saving by doing it this way, but as long as I can do it a little at a time I am okay with it.

 

I am so happy with this truck in stock form, I find it hard to make any mods. I compensate by keeping it in immaculate condition almost constantly. I did replace the FX4 stickers a couple days ago.

 

Added the 2wd valence/airdam trimmed to expose plow frame.



Installed sun visor w/garage door opener

 

^^^I like that^^^ Ford really should try to color coordinate the decals!

 

I added my front WeatherTech mud guards today, and got the windows tinted.

I didn't add the back because the ghetto bird was flying over screaming about a felony suspect on the loose...I will get to the rears tomorrow.

Speaking of window tinting, the chick at the shop told me that I cannot lower my windows for a month! In addition, I guess I cannot use Windex (or anything with alcohol) to clean the insides of the windows...ever!!?!? Seems weird to me.

 

You can roll your windows down in 3-4 days after tinting.

And just don't use anything with harsh chemicals like Windex or Ammonia. Get you a quality glass cleaner from any of the big detailing brands.

 

Which "detailing brands"?

 

Any of the window cleaners that say "safe for tinted windows". Also, a month before you can roll the windows down is unheard of. Its usually much sooner,.like a day or two depending on the weather.

 

What was the cost on the sun visor with the garage door opener?

 

Added a 2019 Airstream Classic 30 Foot.

 

That is awesome! I’m jealous 🙂

 

Visor was $214. plus shipping. Tasca

 

Well Done & Happy Trails!

We recently sold our 45' Class A Diesel Pusher and plan to downsize into a similar Airstream. Was looking at them earlier this week, decisions, decisions.

 

Yikes! I was irritated about the $100 factory option price. I feel better.
