Default 2013 Black FX4 Build

Purchased the truck November of 2012 after trading in my 2010 Camaro. Big difference but glad to be back in another truck!

2013 F-150 FX4 Supercrew 5.0

Racked up a good 11,000 miles as pictured here:






As much as I loved it it became just "another" F-150 on the road, and in Texas there are PLENTYYYY! Ask anyone that lives here... So i recruited a local shop to find me a few extras to make her stand out.

Always loved a lifted truck but never quite said it was very functional for what i use it for. Well with the new truck i decided why not do what I want and not look back....

Heres the outcome so far:













Sitting on a 6" lift, 20" BMF Novakane 0-offset, and 35x12.50x20 Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Truck drives and looks better than when i drove it off the dealer lot!

Now... to figure out the next steps!

Very nice! I am debating on buying a new 2013 ecoboost. What axle gearing are you running with those 35s & how much of a fuel mileage drop have you seen? I was also debating the 5.0 vs ecoboost. I test drove an ecoboost last saturday & i was pretty impressed with it.

3.73 rear axle. i was averaging about 15.5 before the lift and 12.5 now with the lift. im in city traffic stop and go all the time so overall not to bad.

Right on. 3.73 is what I want with the ecoboost. Curious to see what your highway mileage would be though.

Very curious myself. Just no chance to try it.... hopefully this weekend will hit the streets to a few shows and be able to bet a better reading.
