Did you mean 0.4 inches lower? There's no way the bed is 4 full inches lower from a comparable 19. That would make the truck essentially the same height as a F150. I know they lowered the SRW trucks but everything I've seen, including the body guide is roughly an inch or so difference. 4 inches would make them the shortest trucks in the market, by a big margin.

Someone else mentioned the ride aswell. Is it from the method they used to lower the trucks? Another thread doing dyno testing said their XLT feels the same as their 2018, as far as ride goes.

That's true, that just sounds like alot. The numbers suggested far less.

It went from 38.3 inches to 36.9 inches open tailgate to ground on an identical 2020 SRW F350 from 2019 per the guide, so roughly 1.4 inches change in bed height. More than I initially thought. Still ridiculous to drop them that much (or any). I'm glad I stayed with a dually!

Congrats on the new truck. I know I'm in the minority but I do like the factory valence on the 2020.

Off topic question, when you refer to the Prius catchers what are you talking about? I'm a Superduty noob...

Prius catchers are brackets the attach to the underside of the forward portion of the frame.

Thanks for the education on Prius catchers, love that term for them! LOL

And in case you need a visual; Look at the Tremor photo above. You'll see rectangular brackets sticking down below the air dam in line with the tow hooks.

The are over-rider preventers...maybe. They are supposed to keep your truck from climbing over the trunk and top of smaller vehicles.
