Max tilt before f150 will roll over?
Tried to look up the max side tilt a stock f150 can withstand before it flips over sideways and couldn't find it. The off road tilt degree on the instrument cluster has me curious of this. Anybody know?

I looked before also. I wonder if they don't make that info available because there are too many factors that figure into that. (like your load weight distribution etc.) But, for most folks I bet the angle is a lot more than they would be comfortable driving on. I recently drove on an "off camber" trail that registered 18 degrees on the dash. Doesn't seem like much but it felt a little funky at first.
(note: when driving off camber stay "straight" in the seat, don't lean to the high side.)

You could always test by jacking one side of the vehicle

Sitting straight in the seat is a tip I was given by someone that has spent extensive time off road and teaching off road driving. The reason given is when you lean over you can't judge the slope as well (changes due to bumps dips etc) while sitting straight in the seat always lets you feel and see what's going on.
