Cool. Most oem Upper trim ford ones Look good. I didn’t mind your 20” ones though. They look clean.

They look better in pictures than in person. They have a couple of pretty good scuffs on them and the spokes angle out. They are simple and easy to clean though.

Not yet. These were $300 less than any other set of this style wheel I've seen locally so I grabbed them.

Found some Tundra take off Michelin LTX AT2 tires this week and got them mounted and balanced up. I was even able to buy America's Tire's certificates so now I have a warranty on my used tires :)

I am very happy with the look. It fits the truck and my style way more than the 20" Chrome boat anchors.

Apparently it was white F-150 day at this America's Tire.

[quote=""ChargerX3""]How’s the extra sidewall feel?[/quote] ride is pretty similar because I went from 111 load range to 114. I do notice a bit less steering response, but not worried about it since it's a truck not a sports car.

[quote=""vr4""]Those taillights do look much better[/quote]

Yeah I'm really glad I made that change.

I'm running 265/75/16 on mine. Love the softer feel on rough roads. Same road in the work ranger knocks me around like crazy. In the silverado I feel almost nothing.

Do you even need a truck? I’ve seen zero towing with it?

Nope no towing really but the bed has come in handy for picking up some things for the Baja.

I don’t want the Tahoe. Wife does. I use my truck. It’s put in and out the boat 20 plus times this summer.

He never said he was going to be towing constantly. Just that he wanted the capability should the need arise. Also, you don’t need a truck to tow a boat. Most people don’t need a truck, yet Ford sells 800,000+ F150s a year.

Yeah and I really don't need a truck at all now. I am however enjoying driving it way more than I ever did with the Sequoia. Honestly part of why I bought the Baja was to fulfill the few things I'd prefer to haul in a truck bed. Now it's just something goofy to mess with.
