Lariat vs Plain ol'XLT
Question for you guys...My buddy and I both own 99 V-10 F250 Super Duties. His is a XLT Lariat with the off road package, mine is a plain ol' XLT. We both have the towing package. My question to you is...why does his have so much more power? Both trucks are running top notch. Does it have something to do with him having the off road package? And if it has something to do with the computers, can I put in a different computer from a truck with the offroad package? Thanks for the help.

Thanks, I'm not sure what gears we have, but they are both automatics. But you guys have been spot on before with your answers. So that is good enough for me. So there isn't a difference in the computers or anything like that? Just the suspension on a Off-road packaged truck?
Thanks again,
Bruce

My shocks aren't CHEESY, and that FX4 sticker adds at LEAST one horsepower to my truck
