Tire Size, Aftermarket Wheels and TPMS
I'm in the process of purchasing 2011 SD with 18" wheels. I would like to keep the 18" to run my dedicated winter tires and then buy a set of aftermarket wheels and tires the rest of the year. These wheels/tires will be taller than my winters and have their own set of TPMS sensors. So then I have two questions:
1) Does Ford provide a way for the owner to adjust tire height in the computer?
2) Can I use aftermarket TPMS sensors and sync them to the computer without going to the dealer?
Thanks,
Bruce

(W/PICS) Trading a Loaded Gutless F150 FX4 for a 2011 F350 XL 6.2
I am going to be ordering a 2011 F350 XL SRW 4x4 Supercab Shortbox, 6.2 Gas, 4.3 Electronic Locking axle ratio, Heavy Service Front Suspension package.
I am going to be trading in my loaded 2010 F-150 FX4 Crewcab, I will gladly take a hit financially to actually have a truck that has some power, my soon to be ex wife and I used the F150 for the family vehicle. She now has a new car i bought her so I can trade in the truck for what I really wanted, a base model 1 ton. I am so glad it worked out that I am getting a 2011 with the 6.2, becuase the 5.4 is gutless. And I hope the 6.2 has some noticable power. I am very excited to get my truck, unfortunatly I have to wait 60-90 days. Has anyone waited for a truck longer than 90 days?
And can someone please tell me how the 6.2 is, does it pull well, passing power, etc...
Last question, the 10,000 GVWR package I am assuming is for commercial use, or hauling regulations, would this be a good option to have for a personal use truck,or would it be better off to just not get that option?
Thanks everyone
attached are pics of my 94 F-150 with a (wicked 500hp circle track motor) and my 2010 F-150 (possibly going from a 500hp circle track motor to a stock 5.4 might be the reason it seems gutless)

Welcome to FTE! There's a ton of info down in the 6.2 forum that'll answer any of your questions and free you from any doubt. 6.2L Boss - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
Nobody's really complained about any lack of power with the new motor, and with the 4.30's, I think you'll do alright.
As for wait times, there's a thread in the 6.7 forum about folks that have ordered and how long it took. I ordered on 10/12 (truck details in sig), hoping to get it by Christmas.

I assume you're talking about protecting the top edge of the gate and not the inside where the handle is mounted. I have not seen an aftermarket protector for the top edge, however, I have removed the inside tailgate protector and step handle to investigate the possibility of deleting both. I found that the step handle and its hinge mounts can easily be removed (need torx tools). Once both are removed you're left with a tailgate with a bunch of holes which you would not want to leave exposed. I plan to cut a piece of aluminum to cover the entire surface and all holes. Once in place I will use a rubber tailgate mat for cushion and traction. It could also be protected with any bedliner material. The step remains fully functional. I'm doing this to get a low profile (normal) tailgate so I don't have to use a spacer on my IFW SR10 Bedslide.

Rear Tailgate Top Protection Cover
I'm looking for a top tail gate cover that will protect the plastic cover when the tail gate is closed and I have something resting on top of it (like wood or a canoe, etc. I have the 2011 F250 SD with the step and can't find a cover that comes in the three pieces you would need to still use the step. Should I just buy the one piece cover and cut it? Will that work? Any recommendations on what cover I just get?

Adrian,
I know that I am asking this question kinda late in the year, but I did not know until recently if I was going to be able to buy a 2011 until now or not. Got to drive a 2011 King Ranch F250 wow what a truck. Drove both highway/city for 25 miles, reset the fuel milage gage before pulling out and it was at 18.1 and still climbing in town.
Questions:
1) Instead of Ford making a new color scheam-Can Ford offer for the Harley Edition the ability to order any of the past years colors? I want the 2011/12 in the Harley Black/Orange color.
2) How come LED lights are not used more in interior, marker lights, tail lights, for lower amp draw, brightness, longevity?
3)
