Another Ford that needs to be bagged - or a dually?

Saw this on Apache Trail yesterday.

Most assuredly is sporting a flavor saver soul patch on his face and spent the same amount of $ on his wife’s boobs as the lift and wheels package cost him at 4wheel Parts in SoCal!

So if someone could get a family pic it would e great. Or even one of just the wife would be even better!

Lol

Lol maybe that would be something we could all agree upon?

We could if we all understood what it all meant. :h

Grit, you just made me feel old and out of touch. I had look up most of that. :W

Of course, then I found out I wasn’t really missing much. :R

I did understand your desire to see a pic of the wife tho, so at least there’s that. :B

:):)

The truck bed is so short a slider would run the back of the pin box thru the tailgate. I can see most of the pin box, it is either on the axle or inches ahead as others have stated.
As to the heritage and body parts of the owners to each their own. A pic would be nice to confirm. 🙂

Hard to tell, but the pin seems to be on a hitch too far aft. Also, the TV has to be way overloaded for that FW.

I think the pin is at the axle center or in front of it.

May just be the picture, but it looks like the rear wheels are definitely fully inflated - see barely any bulge.

So... if he actually leveled the truck, wouldn't the camper be sitting on the tailgate?

Sort of related - I've met too many guys who see the "off road" package for a truck and assumes it will also tow great. Of course the salesmen don't help, they just push them out the door. I try to gently point out the differences.

And the trailer would be really nose high!

Yes sir, them darn F150s will tow anything!



This one was blocking the road 10-11-20 on my way to Phx. SB I-25 about 5 miles north of the Spanish Peaks sign. It was a beautiful day but the cross wind from the west was the worst I've EVER been in. He was the only RVer that didn't pull over to wait it out. Admittedly, this probably would have happen even if he had more truck. That TT looked longer than my 5er.
I got past this mess as soon as the wind died down a little and JUST before the cops and wrecker got there and shut down the whole SB side.

^What he said.
I don’t think anyone will argue that that monster trailer is more than that brodozer really wants, however the fact that it is lifted and I’d bet leveled accentuates the picture.

Oh well it’s always fun to hear the theories and the doomsday scenario posts!

I guarantee, you take that same truck, put it back to stock, shore up the rear suspension with bags or more springs, it wouldn’t garnish a second look or comment from many, save for a trailer that size should reasonably be on a dually.

[dodge_guy]

It's lifted! The problem with lifts is that hey also level out the truck. So now when you do use it for real work it looks like it's sagging in the rear. If you want a lift on a truck that tows then you either need to keep the front end a couple inches lower or raise the rear up a couple inches, with proper springs.

If this isn't addressed promptly, they'll likely be a Utube video.

One more thought,
I could easily see the tread life of front tires exceeding 100K.

OH, it will be OK when he loads the garage and fuel tank in the rear!
