I finally got over the DRLs..
A few months back i took the truck to the dealer and asked to disable the DRLs, which are by the way not an obligation here. They asked me to leave the truck overnight and pay the amount of ~215$ just so they can log in. It was absurd so i left.
Today, i received a call from my mechanic who asked around and he pointed me to a guy who does these kind of things. So i went there and he did it in less than 10mins for ~40$.
Now i can roll with only fog lights on

You two have some awesome trucks. So which does better off-roading? Big fan of the raptor, but nothing beats the "Ground Beetle." I have come across ALOT of F-150s but only 2 so far with 133" WB. Very Cool.

A few weeks back, he got stuck on the beach and i got to pull him out not that the Raptor is bad but he's a bit clumsy when it comes to off-roading.

Thanks, they're awsome indeed. Well performance wise i cant compare the 5.4L with the 6.2L, also the 3.55 to the 4.10s. Hopefully, after the summer when i get my 4.56s and tune my truck might perform better.

Haha, guess driver skill is still the biggest factor.

I think you will be amazed on how much better your truck feels, especially with those big 37" tires. You have the advantage of 6 gears, but the right rear diff ratio will keep you in the sweet spot and help dig out of the hole. Your transmission will thank you too.
