And by the way( I can answer this one) , the trucks you get in California come from all 3 truck plant's. It's just a matter of who get's the order for a build.
Norfolk builds mostley reg. cabs
K.C. builds mostley screw and scab and flairside
DTP builds only screw and scab, the Harley and the Lincoln Mark LT

 

Oh one more thing Derek...can you pump a little more air in my tires so I can squeeze a little better gas mileage out of the big 5.4 superscrew that will be gettin.

 

Come on now, I just put them on I don't inflate them.

but hey, if you want to see what the new 20" rim/tire option for the FX4 and lariat look like I have one picture in my gallery.

 

Thanks Derek, I'll check em out. I believe I've already seen the Harley Davidson 150's with the 20 inchers though. For me I haven't been much of a fan of the large wheel size though... Maybe I'm just gettin old . Or maybe they have to grow on me a bit more.

 

actually the Harley get's 22" tire/rim
(see I can answer some question's!LOL)

 

I hope the they (Hankook) prove me wrong, It is bad enough that everything is made in China now. I just feel that made is Korea is not any better.

 

As you can see, most F-150 owners love their ride. I have an '05 Lariat SCrew 4X4 w/ 5.4 and had a stuck injector that took two hours to fix and a reflash. Truck runs better than ever, but still don't get the mileage posted by others even driving granny (never over 2K and under 65). But this is much more than a truck, it's an experience that I enjoy more each time I drive it.

 

Hey DearbornDerek, I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed visiting the Dearborn Truck Plant last Oct. I decided that day to buy one and did so in Dec. I made sure I bought one made at the Rouge, an 08/04 '04 Lariat SCab 4X2. I absolutely love it! You guys build great vehicles!

 

I'm glad you ejoyed both and I hope you enjoy your truck for years to come!

 

Korea is the Japan of 15 years ago; China is the Japan of 30 years ago. So, for whatever it's worth, at least they are better than Chinese tires would be.

It's interesting you got Hankook tires. I got Generals. ('04 SCREW)

 

hankook are the standard and generals are optional.

 

"Generals" or "Hankook" Boy what options .....lol

 

That's why I went with the 18" BFG's on my FX4

 

I guess ya just have to use what you get and then drop the good ones on when they wear out .
