Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs 275/65r20 (I think it's a 34" tire). Second truck with these tires. Great in snow and rain. Looks aggressive but also wears well.

I have Duratrac's on my 07 Tacoma and love them. They have gotten fairly noisy after 45k miles, however my truck doesn't have nearly the sound deadening this new F150 would have. How loud are they to you and how many miles can you get out of them on a full size truck? Which load range did you go with?
Truck Looks great. I'm still waiting and have been wanting to see some shots of the new Retrax Pro MX. If you could, I would love to see some dedicated shots of the Retrax, open and closed. Is canister size a problem? Thanks...again, great truck![/QUOTE]
I just looked at a new Supercab on the dealer lot. Although I like the new design, when I looked underneath what I found was dismaying. Has anyone looked at the thickness of the frame? Even though it's supposed to be newly design high strength steel, it's really thin. Living up here in the rust belt, I can tell you if these frames start rusting from road salt, they'll cal-apse prematurely. They should have put a little more meat there to allow for rust unless that black coating is something revolutionary there will be problems. The boxed design helps, but they went too far in trying to save milage and appease the EPA IMO. Time will tell, I wish I could see one from this part of the country with ten years of age right now.
This reminds me of the Nissan Titans frame when it first came out. I'm going to check thickness on the competitions for comparison. I know Dodge/ram lightened their trucks quit a bit to. I'll check their new frames and the chevs to. It also appeared the box length was shortened on the 15's Supercabs to 6 ft. from 6.5 ft, though I didn't have a measuring tape at the time.
Traded in my 2011 F150 FX4 SCrew for my new 2015 F150 Lariat FX4. It is fairly stock so far, I've just lowered it 5/6, slapped on the wheels from my old truck, and put on an SLP exhaust. I need to send my headlights off to RetroShop for some work, and then paint-match the grille, bumpers, and tint the windows. Enjoy!
