A little confused.

I have a friend that has a 2006 F250 Harley Davidson 4x4. We were talking about the ESOF and he told me that his truck didnt have the auto/manual hubs wich I found odd. I didnt have time to dig into this but I did look at his front wheels and they had the factory harley caps and no way of getting to the hubs without popping the cap off. has anyone seen this? this is what the front wheels look like.

I looked up some other HD editions online and some show those caps and others show the regular spinner open caps.

I saw the same thing. I assumed all SD's had some type of hubs on them.

I looked up some other vin's online too and ran their original stickers, none said anything about any other added or special hubs.

I can't believe that there's nobody here that has one that can chime in.

I would bet if you pulled the center cap off it would have hubs just like all the rest of the 4x4 trucks have. Unless it isn't 4x4

It is 4x4, but I didnt have time to pull the cap off. i did look to see if there was a little cap in the center that would come off to gain access but there wasent any.

I drove a friends '04 F150 HD, and it had full time 4WD. Is it possible an F250 HD would have that? If not, probably just full time front differential.

The Harley trucks have the same hubs as all the others. They just cover them with the Harley hub cap.

This is what I thought but it didn't make a lot of sense to me. Why would they cover the hubs up and make it difficult to lock them if needed?

Yep, as long as the ESOF works you never need to get to the hubs, so they're covered.

You aren't supposed to take an HD off road anyway, is probably the way they look at it. Some people will of course, but from the factory it isn't well equipped for off road. Meant for ski trips to the lodge.

I guess ford figures the only time you will need to lock the hubs is on the beach at Daytona during bike week.
